Madeleine McCann case to be re-opened in Portugal as an abduction scenario.

[Kazcutt]

I think I will leave this topic to red and I will move to DCI thread.

  ive just noticed we are being watched and it shows warning level
Wonder what we have all done

[Montclair]

Eduardo Dâmaso stated on CMTV that the PJ crew in Porto may have found a lead that perhaps should be investigated within the scope of abduction. But that does not mean that the investigation will be exclusively aimed at that one theory because otherwise it would be a flawed investigation. All I can say is that I am happy that the case will finally be reopened no matter the initial reason is. The truth must be found.

I wish he'd tell Redwood that!

but you have no idea what anyone thinks  apart from a redtop, which you couldnt evenbe bothered to translate..... zzzz...proof will be in the pudding wont it......

Well I hope it's true Red ...  this case can only be concluded by the police in whose juristiction the crime was committed   (     it is  not   Scotland Yard's case to solve,  particulary given their limited remit  )

What I find odd,  though,  is the apparent suggestion that the Portuguese are about to re-open the case as  an  'abduction'  investigation

That's just silly  ...  either the case is re-opened  with  ALL  possibilities  as  'on the table'  as they were when it was shelved  ...  or it stays shelved

There can be no question, surely,  that the case will be re-opened with only one line of investigation open  ?

APRIL 2012 independent
Portuguese police have refused to reopen the inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The decision came after Scotland Yard urged authorities to resume their investigation and released a new "age-progressed" image showing what she might look like as a nine-year-old.

While British detectives believe Madeleine could still be alive, officers in Portugal insist there is no evidence to warrant relaunching the search. And despite the Metropolitan Police's announcement that detectives have identified 195 potential leads, Portuguese police sources said the status of their investigation had not changed.

I have no idea how investigations are carried out in the UK but in Portugal the police don't decide it is an abduction or whatever and will only investigate that possibility to the exclusion of any other. They go where the evidence leads them. They don't decide that someone must be guilty and then try to find the evidence to prove as you often see in the American series.

Totally agree Icab, it would be strange that it would be reopened on one scenario after being shelved on several..unless someone had SOLID FACTs on one scenario, Solid facts of an abduction...nowhere to be  seen.... just rubbish reporting IMO

Hmmmm

Here is your translation for the opening post related article, at least as best I can get it.

Just information from other forums so far.

PJ want to reopen Maddie case.

Portuguese authorities investigate new lead that should lead to the reopening of the case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The Portuguese authorities ponder reopen the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, following the analysis by PJ Port over the past two years.

The investigation will be headed by the PJ in Faro and will, for now, involve the cross-examination of witnesses. The Correio da Manhã understands that the thesis then will be the abduction and there may be steps common to that were requested by the British. (English)

Translation
Research should be borne by the PJ in Faro and consist, for now, in the examination of other witnesses. The Morning Post then know that the thesis will be to kidnapping and steps may be common
