Could Madeleine have been abducted between 9.30 and 10.00?

[Rachel Granada]

So peter claridge is positing that Gerry McCann was carrying Madeleine's corpse through the streets of PDL yet when pressed further about where she was taken from there, declines to comment.

Interesting.

Martin Smith (to his credit) canvassed the views of the whole party with him that night before giving his second statement.

All Mr Smith's children disagreed with their father that the man they saw was Gerry, including his daughter Aofe, an astute and assured witness of what the Smiths all saw that night.

You can't bypass the fact Martin S went to the gardaí to share his doubt whereas none of the others stated the carrier wasn't Gerald MC.

Not true, they said they would be unable to identify the man.  Nice try

Aoife ! The young lady who notices (fancy) buttons on the carrier's pants !

But I did comment... I said I've no idea were he took her, what's interesting about that.

Why is it "interesting"?  She could have been taken to any one of a dozen, if not a hundred, places.  Why the obsession with "it can't have happened the way YOU [ censored word ]s think if you can't come up with a location"? 

I have always maintained that if you dropped me in Praia da Luz and gave me, say, 2 hours I could come up with dozens of amazing places to conceal all sorts of things including, regrettably, a dead toddler-sized object.  It wouldn't be necessary to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the area.

After seeing the BBC news at 10 PM, footage on the 9th September 2007 I contacted Leicestershire police with this information. During that time I spoke to all my family members who were with me on the night of 3rd May 2007 about this and the only one who felt the same way as me was my wife.

You have plenty to say about Gerry McCann parading a corpse through the streets of PDL yet won't qualify that with anything sensible about where he took said corpse.

It was you who just used the word "[ censored word ]s", not me.

I was just trying to stimulate debate.

Readers, make up your own minds.

They didn't say it wasn't Gerry McCann, they said they would be unable to identify the man!

You see Rachel everything I post on here is based on available evidence, as there is no evidence of where Gerry deposited Madeleine's body I am unable to comment.

I see.  So where is the not just "available" as you say, but concretely irrefutable, evidence of Gerry McCann parading a corpse through the streets of Praia da Luz?

In his first statement, Mr Smith himself said that he didn't believe he would be able to identify the man again from photographs.

What do you suppose might have changed that?

Tell you what Rachel, you provide me with the evidence of abduction first then I'll come right back at you with the evidence thet it was Gerry as seen by the Smith family; I'll put the kettle on

[Rachel Granada]

You haven't answered my question, peter claridge. Seeing as you have been trumpeting claims of Gerry McCann parading a corpse through the streets of PDL, I quite reasonably asked you for concrete and irrefutable evidence to back up your trumpets.  You have not done so.
