Chaotic investigation, hardly.
Didn't you hear the praise from Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe in the way the PJ handled the investigation ?
What FACTS point to an abduction ?
There have been very many examples of bungling and chaos regarding the initial handling of the disappearance.
These include those highlighted by Amaral himself including the failure of the photographer to take photos including people on his initial visit to PDL.
And they include basic policing failures such as that I have just highlighted elsewhere on this forum where it took five months before the PJ even bothered to go to Kelly's bar to retrieve the till receipts and interview staff there in relation to the potentially crucial witness statements of the Smith family. It was only after Rebelo took over that such a basic action was completed.
And no I didn't hear any praise from Sir Bernard of the PJ handling of the investigation. And that is because at no point in his LBC interview does Sir Bernard actually praise the handling of the Madeleine case by the PJ.
What he does do is explain that all investigations are beset by challenges and potential errors which could with hindsight have been better handled. Your mangling of that defence of police in general and twisting/spinning it into some kind of praise does you no credit at all.
Four facts known to us point to an abduction. They are
1. the disappearance of the child
in conjunction with
2. the fact that both the UK investigations and the PJ investigations have found no evidence of the involvement of the McCanns in that disappearance
followed up by
3, the fact that we know that the experts now of the PJ and SY in both instances are looking into abduction as a priority.
and
4. the known fact that there exists an unexplained sighting of a person carrying a child at a time which would suggest a very possible connection with the disappearance.
These four facts are not conclusive but they are nevertheless facts.
As with Jassi, I am content with these four facts for the moment and I await the further outcome of current investigations.
Clearly from your constant repetition of your sad mantra you are not.
We are both entitled to our opinions but it is completely wrong for you to state that there are no facts pointing to an abduction when it is clear that there are.
