Scotland Yard about to commence digs in and around Praia da Luz.

What's your theory on the digs then?

A burglar with a shovel?   8-)(--)

The dig hasn't started yet, They may not find anything.

I think it's very likely (I'm sorry to say) that Madeleine was taken by a stranger, abused, murdered and disposed of - all within the PdL area and by a local who would more likely have access to a shovel than would Gerry McCann. 

[Silkywhiskers]

Apart from dozens of cops and civilians looking for a missing child of course.

They hid her in plain sight.

Searchers would LOOK at that vacant field but who would actually examine it when clearly it was empty?

They were looking for a little girl not disturbed soil.

And do tell - if I (and the PJ) are so far off the mark, WHY is SY searching there?

I have pointed this out to the cat but I don't think it noticed

[Silkywhiskers]

I cannot help but to wonder what state of minds are of the common posters here..

Sad for the humanity really.

It's the same mindset police detectives have.

Follow the evidence, no matter how UNLIKELY you think it all is.

Are the Police "sad for humanity" too?

Oh c'mon do you know anything about this search and how it was performed?

There were dogs, helicopters searching for the body and for the disturbed ground too..

What do you think, that the Portuguese don't have these and they are some kind of a technology morons?

Portugal is actually responsible for almost the highest level of searches and rescues in the world and they have the most modern technology.. they also make it themselves!!!

[VIXTE]

I think in all seriousness ...this is an extremely disturbed person

It is impossible she is in that field. I remember that back in 2007 PJ has employed the search helicopters and they were equipped with the sensors for recent excavations.

Minor detail Cariad. Why let reality stand in the way?
The ten o'clock beeb news were suggesting it may another four weeks before we have a stake in the ground.

Sorry?

The same PJ you accuse of having Agatha Christie methodology?

Unbelievable.

I don't think I can cope with all this speculation for a month.....

Everyone has whipped themselves up in to a frenzy all over the web. In comparison, we seemed like a haven of tranquillity here.

Have a look on twitter and Facebook. There seems to be a rather unsightly glee about a tiny little body bag of bones possibly being dug up in Portugal.

It should be entertaining if nothing else! All the excuses about making PdL look like a lump of Gruyere cheese on spec. to eliminate things etc etc . Rather than it being more likely they have a good bit of intel on where to set up the back hoe. >@@(*&)
