This sis something I have already suggested...the dig rules out smithman

If it is the bit of ground I think it is then it is a huge area.  I will post a photo of it.

[Eleanor]

But, equally, might not.  I don't think we have enough information to make any judgement, however attractive it might be to do so.

But you appear to be doing so.

[Eleanor]

This funny, is it?  This is why I despair.

[jassi]

But you appear to be doing so.

I don't think I've made any pre-judgement. I'm happy wait and see what transpires.

Davel being completely wrong when he thinks he never is. Yes that is funny.

[Eleanor]

Naughty   

But not funny.

[jassi]

But not funny.

Really?  Perhaps you have no sense of humour.

If The Portuguese Judiciary know all about the Sexual Predator, which they must do, then it isn't rocket science to think that he might have been involved.

Or of course, it's a complete load of rollocks.

Not on this occasion.  No, I don't.

Sadie has mentioned that the digging in Praia de Luz  is taking place in order  'rule things out'

I have asked before, and no-one has answered,  what, exactly,  will these these digs  'rule out'  ? 

My question is not just to Sadie,  but to all members

If the digs turn up nothing,  what possibility will have been ruled out other than the fact that the body wasn't buried in those particular locations  ?

I mean,  if the Met think there is a possibility that Madeleine died in the apartment and her body subsequently buried   (  and they  must think that is a possibility or these digs wouldn't be happening at all   )  then what  difference will it make if the body is not found in the locations chosen for inspection  ?

The Met can't say  "Well we thought Madeleine might have died in the apartment but because we havn't found her body in the places we looked we no longer think that is the case" 

That just doesn't follow

NOT  finding a body won't eliminate the possibility that Madeleine died in the apartment  ... it won't rule out  anything  except that she wasn't buried in the spots dug up

So to those who think the Met are merely 'ruling things out'  by digging up the resort,  what is it that you  think will  be   'ruled out'  and how will it advance the investigation  ?

You can't answer that question without knowing what intelligence they might have gathererd to lead them to believe she might be buried in PdL.

Erm.  It won't.  Now there's a turn up.  Madeleine might not be dead.

Large tract of waste ground adjacent to Rua 25 de Abril which could be searched next week according to latest Press reports.

Have you thought, Icabod,
-  That there might have been rumours about places? 
-  That there might have been a slight possibility that Madeleine had been hidden in road works that were filled in the following day. 
-  That their radar searching equipment may have pinpointed some things tha might have been a body (an animal, or anything)

And that they are ruling all the possibilities out before going for the main peeps?



I wonder why Murat put a stop on the Police digging his drive up?  Now that could present problems.

But I feel sure that if the police radar has identified anything and they think there is anything to worry about .... and if there is reasonable doubt, then I feel sure that they will be able to dig it up.


The question is, 'Why did Murat try and stop it being dug up?'  Now, I find thta suspicious tbh.
Waht is he hiding?   Is he helping someone?   Is he causing obfuscation?


What? why?
