So what is the evidence for abduction?

[Mr Gray]

I don't understand how the continued absence of a child is evidence of abduction.

davel, would you be kind enough to explain it to me please?

Never mentioned the word continued...but the absence of Maddie is evidence of abduction. Evidence is a fact that supports a theory. If I go into town..park my car and when I return its gone...that's evidence of theft. The problem here is that many don't understand what the word evidence means and that they are so biased they don't want to accept the truth

[Mr Gray]

A thing or things helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment: The broken window was evidence that a burglary had taken place. Scientists weigh the evidence for and against a hypothesis.


Theres a definition of evidence...the fact that Maddie is missing is evidence of abduction...its obviously not proof..but evidence none the less

The absence of Madeleine is a prerequisite to many theories, abduction being but one of them. It is not evidence of the abduction theory.

It is by definition...

[slartibartfast]

It is by definition...

In the same way it is evidence of parental murder and removal.

[Mr Gray]

By that note, is her disappearance is also evidence she died in the apartment ?

Don't you agree ?

I think he accepted that in #760.

[stephen25000]

Thanks slartibartfast.

[Mr Gray]

what you have to do is take ALL the evidence and assess it as a whole...the point I am making is that the disappearance of Maddie is evidence of abduction

[Mr Gray]

#I can quote what Grime says verbatim and that is what he says..

lets see what Grime says if he answers questions from this forum...I guarantee there will be huge disappointment

[stephen25000]
