Eddie's alert in the garden

[pegasus]

your post...
Just to be clear there's no evidence that the parents have been 'ruled out

the fact that SY have said they are not suspects is evidence they have been ruled out...taken means taken....not removed by the parents

taken and removed are synonyms Davel for example
The handler removed the tennis ball from his pocket
The handler took the tennis ball from his pocket
You can't claim that one means the tennis ball is alive and the other means the tennis ball is not

a very weak argument...synonyms are not interchangeable and you are using your own interpretation...how about the perpetrator abducted Maddie...or the perpetrator took Maddie...making taken  a synonym for abduction

Yet not a piece of evidence to show conclusively what happened.

evidence that showed conclusively would be called proof

It is impossible to take something out of an apartment without removing it from the apartment.
On the other hand is very possible to take something out of an apartment without abducting it.
For example if you take an umbrella out of your apartment you are certainly not abducting it.

When you take a missing child away you are the abductor whoever you are. The Smiths testimony is going to be crucial.

Yes,good spot,but taken and removed mean exactly the same thing anyway

Let's see.

The Smiths long ago abandoned the belief that they might have seen Gerry.

And they might have seen Madeleine's abductor.

So perhaps ...

No, just on a backburner "obviously"

Oh the wee abductor again, and not a shred of proof.

Pretty much. Let's discuss Gene & Eddie instead.

A lone voice, perhaps, but I still don't understand what the outcome of the garden episode actually was.

Bits of a shrub were sent off... ok. No blood found and any fibres unlikely to have been of any relevance. Did I miss something?

But then I'm still confused about the differences between the video of the clothes inspection in the gym and what the PJ noted.
