Maddie cops seek yet more cash

It's from the same interview where he served up the gem: However she left the apartment, she was abducted, because “She wasn’t old enough to make a decision to set off and start her own life,”.

Pure gold that. She's gone therefore she was abducted is what he's saying. There's a prime example of Metropolitan Police logic,

Abduction is the only logical & plausible explanation according to believers. But when asked quite how it's illogical & implausible for the McCanns to be involved, no answer ever comes.

It is perfectly logical, once you have ruled out the parents which they had done.  Do you think the Head of the Metropolitan Police lacks logic?

Are you smarter thsn he is, in your view?  Perhaps you should apply for the job when he gets the boot, I’m sure you’ll have it all sorted in a jiffy.

MR: “Two points to that, firstly the involvement of the parents, that was dealt with at the time by the original investigation by the Portuguese. We had a look at all the material and we are happy that was all dealt with and there is no reason whatsoever to reopen that or start rumours that was a line of investigation. The McCanns are parents of a missing girl, we are trying to get to the bottom of. In terms of Andy using the word abduction, she was not old enough to set off and start her own life. However she left that apartment, she has been abducted. It is not a 20-year-old who has gone missing and who has made a decision to start a new life, this is a young girl who is missing and at the heart of this has been an abduction“

What is illogical about this?  Stating the bleedin’ obvious maybe, but totally logical.

But how is that done?

I thought Rowley was saying that the parents were dealt with by  the Portuguese investigation, not by OG. That did not rule them out. It didn't even identify the crime. I don't think it's logical to say definitively that a missing child was abducted, because there are other possibilities when children go missing, even though they are too young to disappear and start a new life.

[Mr Gray]

Rowley is saying they've looked at all the evidence from the first investigation and decided the parents were not involved..ruling them out. You don't like it but that's how it is...you need to accept and understand

OG decided not to investigate the parents or their friends, relying instead on an inadequate Portuguese investigation.

It is quite obvious to me, but some simply don't want it to be.  Fortunately, their opinion is of no importance.

I don’t think you’ve really properly understood what he said.

OG have made the decisions they made and proceeded accordingly. I do accept what they have decided, but I don't have to accept that they were right.

[Mr Gray]

OG have made the decisions they made and proceeded accordingly. I do accept what they have decided, but I don't have to accept that they were right.

It's not particularly important what you do

What is it that you cannot comprehend about the concept of ~ a person is investigated in a police investigation > that person is suspected of involvement in a crime and is questioned under caution > no charge is laid because there is no evidence to prove wrongdoing > the person is eliminated from the inquiry as a result and released without stain on his/her character > police resources are freed up which allows them to proceed with the next step in the investigative process.

While you are caught in a time warp ~ the world moves on apace.

Madeleine McCann: Portuguese authorities declare man formal suspect
This article is more than 11 months old
German police had previously said Christian Brueckner, 44, was probably responsible for toddler’s disappearance in 2007

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Christian Brueckner, a convicted rapist, has been made an “arguido”, translated as “named suspect” or “formal suspect” who is treated by Portuguese police as more than a witness but has not been arrested or charged.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Prosecutors in Faro did not publicly name the man but said in a statement he was identified as a suspect by German authorities at their request.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It is the first time that Portuguese prosecutors have identified an official suspect in the case since Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine’s parents, were named suspects in 2007. They were later cleared.

Prosecutors said the investigation has been carried out with cooperation from British and German authorities.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Portugal’s judiciary police handed over documents with hundreds of names related to Madeleine’s case, including Brueckner, to British authorities in 2012. German police received their first tip-off linking the convicted rapist to Madeleine’s case in 2013.

Fresh evidence leads to different tacks being taken in investigations and as far as Madeleine's case is concerned that tack changed a long time ago with everyone working it looking forward and not looking back.
There is a lesson there.

If they can't prove wrongdoing by Brueckner I assume he will also be eliminated from the enquiry?
