No, he doesn't have to back up anything to YOU as he has no report duty to you or any other of the so called "sceptics". This is not a detective story, this is a criminal investigation. You just have to accept the findings of the people with law enforcement authority, as other law abiding citizen are obliged to do.

Everybody will accept the findings of SY when they come, if they come. They'll have to be proved as any criminal investigation requires.
For now we do have to rely on the Portuguese AG who directed the investigation : the nature of the crime that affected Madeleine McCann couldn't be determined.
Do you contest the AG report ?
Do you think that, if Mr Redwood says "Madeleine was murdered" without proving it, it is enough to establish she was ?
I hope not.

[Mrs. B]

No, we don't have to rely solely on the AG now, the investigation in Portugal was shelved in 2008 & found no incriminating evidence against the parents or Murat, or anyone else for that matter. Nothing more has happened in Portugal since then. Now NSY has taken over and are moving FORWARD with the case as is clear to see for anyone who can read.

They are investigating the case NOW, i.e. a stranger abduction & they have now also officially said that the parents & their friends are NOT suspect.

Those are the facts as we know them today.

[AnneGuedes]

I hope the AG will not see that, Mrs B, because this is pure contempt and who are you to contempt a Portuguese authority ?
Now, may be not to-morrow, his report is the only reasonable conclusion, whether you like it or not. The question of the McCanns being suspects or not does'nt matter.
I do speak of the fate of Madeleine McCann, the only important point.

SCOTLAND Yard detectives who believe Madeleine could still be alive want to trace five mysterious strangers spotted in Praia da Luz around the time of her abduction

The five are among 38 potential new suspects including 12 Brits.

One is “Bundle Man” who was seen by the McCanns’ pal Jane Tanner carrying a sleeping girl away from their apartment at around 9.15pm on the night Madeleine disappeared.

He could also be “Rude Man” who ignored an Irish family’s attempts to chat as he passed them carrying a pyjama-clad girl towards the beach around 10pm that night.

Another is “Creepy Man” who days earlier scared British holidaymaker Gail Cooper when he demanded charity cash for an orphanage that did not exist.

She later saw the Mexican-moustached stranger watching children on the beach.

A fourth was dubbed “Spotty Man” after he was seen five times in the four days before Madeleine disappeared apparently watching their apartment.

A fifth, “Photo Man”, was spotted  pictures of children near the beach in nearby Sagres.

What do you mean by "contempt"? By whom towards whom?

No, it certainly isn't contempt. The case was shelved, NSY has now taken over & is continuing where the PJ either left off or failed. The PJ were not anywhere near to finding out what happened to Madeleine, NSY seems her ONLY hope & it is in HER interest that they continue the investigation until answers are found.

Six years on I fear the five men of interest have either died or left the area a long time ago.  The chances of the Met finding anything of interest in Praia da Luz at this stage is simply pie in the sky.

[Mrs. B]

Why would they have died? Didn't see anyone of the people described in the files as potential suspects being reported to be of particularly advanced age or of particularly bad health.

They might, they might not, find anything of interest John.
Its nice to know someone is doing something, to help find Madeleine.
After all, what was actually done from 2008 by the PJ? 

More harm than good, was caused by deliberate leaks, lies, and misinformation. Who did all that, and for what reasons?

[John]

We know of at least one British paedophile who was in PDL on the day in question who is now deceased.  There could well be others.

[Mrs. B]

That is true, Hewlett died a few years later of cancer, he was not ill while he was in the Algarve at the time the McCanns were there. So yes, I suppose others could have succumbed to deadly diseases too.

[Eleanor]

I'm not dead.  Far from it.  And I was old six years ago.

[Mrs. B]

LOL Glad to hear it!

[John]

Yes but you are probably a young chick Eleanor      If a suspect was 60 or more some six years ago...   well you get what I mean, chances are you are dead or have dementia.

Excuse me.  I was more than 60 or more six years ago.

Not sure about the dementia.  I'll let you know, if I remember.
