The child abduction/trafficking pamphlets found in the villa.

So why insinuate that there was?

Do you have an idea of why ?

Do you have an idea of why ?

It makes for interesting reading about potential government protection (one of his themes) unless you actually bother to check.

Do you have an alternative idea?

I think you misunderstood my question.

I think you misunderstood my question.

Possibly. Could you please clarify what your question actually concerned?

No !

No !

A rational explanation, perhaps?

Glad to know that. I didn't ask for an irrational one, just a rational one.

From his book:
With amazement the police officers discover a series of books and manuals exclusively intended for police services and government agencies.

    - Missing and Abducted Children: A Law-Enforcement Guide to Case Investigation and Program Management, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children;
    - Training Courses, (CEOP Serious Organised Crime Agency - Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre);
    - Making Every Child Matter…Everywhere, CEOP (Serious Organised Crime Agency - Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre).

Mark Harrison himself wonders how Gerald McCann could have obtained these books.

Let's try again. Gerry had been to visit NCMEC and CEOP.

So what was so "amazing" that, as a dad of a missing child, he'd been handed pamphlets that were available to the general public, and not, as Amaral said, "exclusively intended for police services and government agencies"?

Is it amazing ? Perhaps not : professors have the reputation to be often distracted.

It appears to suggest an unhealthy obsession with the subject of child abduction/trafficking. Why were the McCanns so interested in it? There is no evidence that their daughter was abducted by a stranger who was involved in child trafficking. Why were they so insistent that this is what had happened?

Oh, I know: 'people with dirty minds have dirty thoughts.'

As I think Amaral (or someone else involved in the case said) it is not the sort of reading you would expect people to take on a sunshine family holiday.

What's wrong with Jilly Cooper?

They didnt take them on hoiday j rob they acquired them some time after

But GM was overheard on the phone just an hour or less after saying he believed paedophiles had taken her

Who actually owned this apartment where these pamphlets were found? I do believe it was someone called McCann although unrelated, we are told by Clarence Mitchell. Also, I do believe the McCanns had been on holiday here the previous year. Therefore they would know( the apartment?) and certainly the resort quite well. And they could quite likely have a local network out there. There are a gazillion Brits in the Algarve.

 If you believe that the McCanns and/or their friends/acquaintances had something to do with or some knowledge prior knowledge of Madeleine's disappearance, then you can see that they are quite familiar with the resort. And maybe also the apartment.

For those interested in statistics:

"The chance of the McCanns renting a holiday home from someone of the same name is 7,500-to-one."
