Statistically...what are the chances that Maddie was abducted..

[Sherlock Holmes]

I find it impossible to believe because no-one can come up with a credible explanation of how, when or where they hid her body - and how they moved it again 3 weeks later.      Or even explain why 9 intelligent people, all apparently colluding together, came up with such a complicated,  imbecilic plan as the one being alleged.     

That just makes no sense at all - when it is so obvious that there were far simpler ways of achieving the same ends.    Only idiots without a single brain cell amongst  them would have failed to realise that fact when they were making their 'plans'.    Plans, which incidentally were so complicated and convoluted it would have taken a month of Sundays of practise to remember all the details of what 9 people had to do and say.   

 

This is one of my problems as well, Benice. No credible explanations whatsoever.

It was interesting that one of the experts on "The Lying Game" said that the McCanns are 100% innocent.

Hardly surprising.

One image at the start  of madeleine's disappearance,and one opinion. She admitted people can be fooled by those who lie, including psychologists.

However, a search of the net will reveal other forensic psychologists with other points of view as regards the Mccanns. There is a plethora of interviews with them which are  worth viewing showing their verbal and non-verbal responses.

However, people who support the Mccanns will say they haven't lied, whilst those who don't believe them will of course think the reverse, and that won't change.

P.S. The program was a Murdoch production.

Blimey, it took you long enough. I swear, drink too much, and I love pugs.

*Hint*   I'm not Princess Michael of Kent.         

OMG, you're not me, are you?

These other 'forensic psychologists' - do they have anything like the same professional qualifications and reputation?

Do some research as I did on google and make your own judgement .

There are varying degrees of interpretation.

I've made my own judgement.

I wouldn't expect anything less.

I didn't agree for example with a certain Dr. Christian Lüdke.

You seem to be inferring that Dr Leal only studied one image?    She is a highly qualified expert in her field -  do you really think she would publically make such an unequivocal assessment claiming that the McCanns were 100% innocent on the strength of one image?   
 
What has Murdoch got to do with Dr Leal?   Please elucidate.

Other experts have given different opinions.

One 'expert' b y themselves is insufficient to draw any conclusions.

As to the Murdoch connection, extremely well known.

Did you also really expect the mccanns top be called liars on TV on a major network with the threat of libel ???

I have no idea what the Murdoch connection is - as you appear to know all the details  - would you please explain?

No-one forced Dr Leal to give her assessment.    If she had any doubts then she simply would not have mentioned the McCanns at all in the programme.    That's just common sense.

   Not if anyone has an ounce of sense.

Is that the same 'common sense' displayed by the Mccanns in leaving their children alone, unprotected and in an unlocked apartment ?

Oh dear - the usual diversion tactics.   That particular stick must be worn down to the size of pencil stub by now Stephen. 

Can you give me clue as to what the Murdoch connection is please?   You did make a point of mentioning Murdoch so you must think it's relevant.

My only comment is why the Mccanns featured in it at all....

[Estuarine]

This is one of my problems as well, Benice. No credible explanations whatsoever.

I am neutral in the whole debate but tend to agree:
Why must the so called "Tapas 7" be anything other than what they appear to be at face value? In my book that is a typical group of slightly naive British tourists suddenly out of their depth in a foreign country where they were familiar with neither the language nor the culture.Prepared to do and say just about anything to cover their own backs in order to get home and never go back.
Furthermore I have never met 7 people in my life who I would trust enough to help me cover up anything.
(Before I get reams of abuse for "naive" anyone who has travelled abroad regularly other than on holiday and to holiday resorts will know what I mean any one who hasn't will not)
