DCI Redwood now admits Madeleine may not have left the apartment alive.

[jassi]

Scotland Yard are now on the case, so what happened or didn't happen several years ago is no longer of operational relevance.

It is highly significant (to the discussion of this thread) that dog alerts have been dismissed as irrelevant.

Has SY that on record?

I have no idea - Have you?

[Mr Gray]

Surely the dogs were brought in because it was suspected Maddie died in the appt...and they were suggested by uk police....so this is not a new idea

No, but one that seems to be gaining favour, if SY are to be relied on.

do SY think it more likely than abduction?

Couldn't day - not party to their inner thinking.

[jassi]

Is it?

Seems to be. Time will tell whether it has legs or disappears like 3 burglars and mobile phone records.

I don't think the three burglars have disappeared....more like sy are waiting for the letters to be answerred

I may be wrong, but I find it hard to believe that they'd throw it out there without being fairly sure.

I mean, you don't say a child may have died in the apartment without good cause, do you?

It wasn't a case of 'after almost 7 years, we accept that Madeleine may no longer be alive' it was much more specific than that.

As was there comment that abduction "may not follow all our thinking in this case"..

But abduction has been and still is an important part of the investigation so do you think they have evidence there

[jassi]

Yes, I think they may be preparing the ground (public opinion) and we may see further revelations in a few weeks - I'm hoping so, anyway.

As I've said on numerous occasions, time will tell. The SY investigation will grind on, irrespective of internet machinations.

They started off with that premise - they may be moving away from it - we simply don't know, do we?

I don't suppose your sceptism counts for much.
