Amaral's Hypothesis - credible or not?

[Benice]

It is not at all surprising to me that the immediate thought of the father of a missing child was that paedophiles might well be involved.

I agree, especially in view of the fact that most abducted little girls have been the victims of a paedaphile in the past.    I also believe that most members of the public would have thought exactly the same on first hearing the news about Madeleine.     I know I did.

So did I.  I just hoped it wasn't true.

Wrong.

Well you're alright there then, cos it aint true.

I still hope that Madeleine was taken to be adopted by a family.  But that's the difference between you and me.  I hope for the best while you hope for the worst.  In fact it is the major difference between the two sides.

I would have thought those who pursue the idea of abduction by paedophile are the ones looking for the worst outcome.

Nothing good would come out of that scenario.

Nothing good will come out of wishing Madeleine dead.

True, but only disappointment is likely to come out of hoping she is still alive.

You simply do not know this.  And I would rather be disappointed than decide without proof that a small girl is dead.

I would rather be realistic.

If I'm wrong, then there might be a happy outcome, whereas if you are wrong, there cannot be one.

I spose you still reckon it was Tannerman what took her n'all.

At which point and using what method was the McCann's word thoroughly tested by SY? You are just guessing.

The only reference I recall is a forensic examination of the timeline. What forensic examination? Using which method? A pen and paper? A high tech software program? Certainly not a real live actual reconstruction. After all that would have been far too risky for the McCann's chums.

Do you have any idea or will your answer just be another supposition?

If you really believe that SY did not thoroughly investigate the parents as their No. 1 priority, but just took their word for it that they did not dispose of their dead child's body then you are being very disingenuous IMO.

The family are always the first people to be investigated so that they can be ruled in or ruled out at the very beginning.    I thought everyone knew that.

If you can at tell me how a one off reconstruction could be carried out and how the PJ would deal with the problem that only approximate timelines were able to be given by 10 different people - I would be very glad to hear it.

They'll be last to be thoroughly investigated in this high profile media driven case after all other possibilities are first ruled out. But I can conclude that Smithman is being tracked from the wasteland to the church vicinity in these new searches to hopefully find clues into the disappearance of Madeleine or Maddy as she presented herself to the nanny Charlotte Pennington.

[Mr Gray]

Not completely, you still believe fairy tales.

I believe what is supported by evidence.  As the archiving report found no evidence to show that the mccanns were involved in any crime...as SY have declared that they are not suspects...as they have never been arrested or charged....I believe they are not criminally involved in Maddies disappearance..

What do you base your beliefs on

[pathfinder73]

They're tracking Smithman right now for evidence and Amaral was tracking him when he was removed from the case.
