Why did Amaral and PJ suspect the McCanns and Murat as being somehow involved?

[AnneGuedes]

For the one or ones who know what happened to Madeleine, those very often caricatural sightings are laughable.

Who are these people who know what happened to Madeleine?

Simples.

The Mccanns.

The Mccanns.

Go on, then tell us how.  How did they manage to get rid of the remains and then go to dinner as if nothing had happened? 

[Jean-Pierre]

I couldn't have put that better myself Mat.    Obviously they have forgotten why the FUND was set up in the first place.  But then as they know where......  lies I ain't in the least surprised.

I asusme this was posted by Angelo as an ordinary poster, and not with the "mod" hat on?

The McCanns, having been let down by the utter shambles that was Amarals "investigation" have at last managed to get a properly organised investigation and search, with reasonable co-operation between the PJ and the Met.  Probably, and very sadly, too little too late - but they have tried and eventually succeeded in getting some profssional help. 

But as for searching themselves - how?  They do not have powers of entry, of questionning, they do not have the language skills.  So how exactly were they supposed to search for Madeleine?  They did what is in my view the sensible thing, and applied their energies to getting a proper investigation.

Unfortunately JP some people seem to think  there is only one way of searching - and that is by walking around with a spade in one hand and a map of the world in the other.    They ignore the advice of the experts in this field, who advise that to give a missing child/person the best chance of being found you should keep their profile as high as possible in the public eye.   And this is what the McCanns have been doing for the last 6 years.

Go on use your imagination.  Ever hear of a home help?  Who was that guy Jane saw?

What do you mean Angelo?

What are you saying?

[Angelo222]

How else could he be in two place at once.  Murat was made an arguido because of the evidence and the Russian guy investigated because of his links with Murat?  Do you think the PJ just did it all for fun?   

Always remember that it was some members of the tapas 9 who put Murat in the frame in the first place when they said they saw him around the resort on the night that Madeleine disappeared.

Well how did they do it then? 
Why did they do it? 
How did they arrange it? ... they were strangers

How did they get the scent of death into the car, if bundleman took Madeleine way?

Why did he whisper "Madeleine, Madeleine?

How come everyone in the group was so calm?

Were they all init?

Are they all telling lies?




Awww come on, Angelo, pull the other one

Anyhow ... carry on.  I am enjoying this ... but will have to read tomorrow ...  Soz

Will give you plenty of time to get your story / theory sorted.

I don't do theories and speculation Sadie, I will leave that up to you.  I do however repeat the evidence and show how it can fit certain scenarios.

British police officers were sent to Portimão in order to collaborate with the PJ almost from the very beginning. One of them spoke Portuguese. They unexpectedly left with the McCanns in September, 2 weeks before Mr Amaral was dismissed. This means that who denigrates the work of that team is attacking the British PO as well.

Be prepared to be disappointed Jean-Pierre.  Scotland Yard have no power to investigate anything in Portugal, all they can do is ask the PJ to do it.  Same goes for searching but searching for Madeleine isn't what this is about or haven't you realised this yet??

Remind me, how many times have the McCanns been back to Portugal to search for Madeleine since she disappeared??  Once, twice or not at all??   They won't find her holed up in leafy Rothley will they??

[Angelo222]

I thought moderators were supposed to be impartial.

Obviously not.

I am always impartial at following the evidence.  Not my fault where it leads!!

What was it?   Two days after being made official suspects they high-tailed it out of Praia da Luz as quick as they could.  What does that tell you??
