Please detail the evidence of abduction.

[Mr Gray]

Please detail the evidence of abduction.

the very fact that maddie is missing is evidence of abduction

[Alfred R Jones]

For the best part of 5 years there appeared to be no physical evidence whatsoever that Claudia Lawrence had been abducted.  Now it appears there is evidence.  So - all the while there was no physical evidence of abduction did those who like to doubt these things doubt she'd been abducted?

the very fact that maddie is missing is evidence of abduction

No,  the fact that Madeleine is missing is evidence of nothing more than that  she is missing

Why  she is missing is not evidenced at all

That she was  'abducted'   is the unevidenced  claim made by her parents 

[Mr Gray]

No,  the fact that Madeleine is missing is evidence of nothing more than that  she is missing

Why  she is missing is not evidenced at all

You are another one who does not understand the meaning of the word evidence

[Mr Gray]

Maybe you don't understand what is evidence?

Never mind, I can see there's no hope. It's a cross you'll just have to bear.

Not forgetting Scotland Yard who believe she was abducted by a stranger.

[peter claridge]

Statements/timelines is a good place to start... and finish actually.

[Mr Gray]

they understand what evidence means

[Mr Gray]

start is correct...finish is not

Just thought I would add that I don't think any of the statements could be used as evidence in court

[Mr Gray]
