Mark Williams-Thomas suggests Madeleine woke, wandered and was abducted.

[Nicholas]

Yes, I know.  But a repeat didn't go amiss.

Good to hear

What happened in Jersey is a perfect example of what goes wrong when senior police officers go unchecked.

As for Mark Williams-Thomas' theory that Maddie woke, wandered outside and was abducted, I think this is the only realistic theory of all those suggested over the last 13 years.

I believe that Madeleine was abducted, but I do understand for why you think as you do.

Amaral should never have been in charge of that case, let alone unchecked.

If you believe Kate and the open window ... and I do ... it blows the 'woke and wandered' scenario out of the water.

Given your faith in the McCanns I'm not surprised you believe in the open window. Your belief can only rest on faith, of course, because there's no objective evidence.

It isnt faith...its based on evidence. It can only be faith when there is no evidence. Its this sort of post which shows your bias

Amaral believed that the presence of Kate's fingerprints on the window glass was evidence she had staged a crime scene featuring an open window. Was his premise for such a belief based purely on faith?
IYO what did those fingerprints signify, other than Kate moving the curtains aside & touching the glass?

And no glove marks were found on that window. Burglars without gloves? The facts don't change, the only prints found were by KM and she claims to have never touched the window. The curtains were always closed she said in her book.

Why should it?  Only Kate McCann's fingerprints were found on the children's bedroom window which tends to support the proposition that it was she who opened it to look for a missing Madeleine. She claims she found it open but that could be down to traumatic memory loss, the same affliction suffered by Gerry that night.

it all depends how thorough the forensic examination of the apartment was..how much you trust the  PJ. Are we yo assume no one else ever touched the window....children...cleaners..other occupants...or was the forensic exam just not fit for purpose

No … it happened exactly as Kate McCann described and it is borne out by the evidence that the window was already open when she entered the room.  There were no fingerprints lifted from the handle.

 VESTIGES COLLECTED
5….. Fingerprints….Inside interior window of the children’s bedroom…..DBT…..Suf
Observations: The fingerprint traces collected are identified as being the middle finger of the left hand (3x) and forefinger of the left hand (2x), of the missing girl’s mother,

http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/FINGERPRINTS.htm


The right hand sliding glass was open. 
A person leaning forward to look through would support themselves using their right hand either on the wall or the windowsill.  While placing the palm of their left hand on the frame of the already opened sliding section with fingers extending onto the glass to leave fingerprints.
 
That matches the description of events given by Kate McCann from which she has never wavered.  It matches the forensic evidence as recorded in the PJ Files above.  There is no forensic evidence that she opened the window, but the forensic evidence supports her statement that she found the window open and she leaned out.

You are wrong on that.

In her book she also described her horror when the curtains blew open because the window was open and rushing over to lean out the window to look for Madeleine who was missing from her bed.

Explanations offered by the person who claimed the window was open aren't evidence that it was really open. It's from the same source!

Leaning out of the window is not in her statement on 4 May 2007. Go take a look.
