So what is the evidence for abduction?

[mercury]

"it is our belief, as experienced investigators - on the evidence, that, um that you know, that that, that is as a criminal act - and that has been, you know, undertaken by by a stranger

Better said in TOTAL context don't you thnk?

[Brietta]

In my opinion there is a bit of an infantile WUM campaign ongoing.  It lends nothing to the debate because it is not designed to do so.  It lends nothing to the forum because it is designed not to.

How would it alter the meaning of the sentence I quoted to add in all the other stuff he said?

As I  said, context and full meaning, you believe he said one definite thing I don't, shall have to agree to disagree

care to explain in straightforward English? ta!

In your own time of course

[Alfred R Jones]

English language has subjects objects, verbs etc. They believe. Who do? The experienced investigators. What do they believe? That 'that' is a criminal act undertaken by stranger. What is 'that'? It's the removal of Madeleine alive from the apartment in a gap in the timeline. They believe it's a criminal act, not they believe it happened.

So they don't believe stranger abduction happened now?  And you got that from what Redwood said?!  O lawdy!!

I've never known such absurd twisting of the facts, it's utterly desperate and pathetically sad.

the fact remains.. redwood didn't say he believed Madeleine was abducted by a stranger,get over it

[Alfred R Jones]

He most certainly did.  By your interpretation Could you kindly explain why you think it was necessary for Redwood to point out that a stranger removing Madeleine from the apartment would constitute a criminal act?

Well, that's the question , and he didn't mention Madeleine..plus all he talked about was possibilities

[Alfred R Jones]

Here's another question for you: if he didn't believe Madeleine was removed in a criminal act by a stranger and that she may be alive why did he release an age progression picture of her?

Don't be so naive Alfie

SY have no leads
They (he) bleated they did
they didn't
An age progression pic is a PR exercise
AR is now retired in a handsome pension
Pity he didn't really get to the bottom of it
let's see if Wall does anything

Have you not heard about the Mccanncurse!

[Alfred R Jones]

Here's another question: why did all the UK papers reach the same conclusion about the meaning of Redwood's words as me, Ferryman, Brietta, etc?

So Andy Redwood's a liar too is he?

[Alfred R Jones]

Never said that you really should not put words to people's mouths alf

Have to go out for an hour, hopefully when I come back you will have calmed down

You said he bleated about having leads but that they didn't have leads.  So, is that not lying in your book?
