The nature of the crime has not been proven...

[Alfred R Jones]

The nature of the crime has not been proven but the most logical scenario is stranger abduction and not coincidentally that is the view of the Met who have said they believe Madeleine was taken in a criminal act by a stranger.  This isn't a believer's invention or fantasy, this is a fact.  Like it or lump it.

In April this year, Andy Redwood, from the Homicide and Serious Crime Division at Scotland Yard, said he believed Madeleine McCann was abducted by a stranger and could be alive. "We sincerely believe that there is a possibility of her being alive", he stated.

But then, what does he know ...

Start the thread Alfie on how the child was abducted by a stranger.
Give us your theory from alpha to omega.
The Met have never said they are investigating abduction by stranger to the exclusion of all else.
Oh sorry I forgot you have me on ignore

So simple and easy that you can't explain it....

[Mr Gray]

Yup.  The "sceptics" conveniently gloss over this fact, or delude themselves into thinking that when the Met say Black they really mean White.  It's terribly sad to witness such delusion amongst these so called "warriors for justice".  In fact they really remind me of those saddos who go up a mountain once a year having predicted the End Of Days, only to then traipse back down again a few days later, still confidently and optimistically predicting that the End of Days is going to happen soon, tick-tock, just you wait and see etc etc.

I agree ; so why do some post with the suggestion The Met are only  investigating abduction by stranger?

[Wonderfulspam]

absolute rubbish...they said an abduction would have been very easy

No it's true, they didn't include the window/shutters in their abduction theses....

very well put Alfred

[Alice Purjorick]

Make that a few and I will agree.

Is there such a thing as consequential twaddle?

Only when using Twaddle as a measure of causticity I suspect.

Well we've had 7 years of 'abduction' and not one piece of evidence to prove it.

Tick-Tock indeed.

Well judging by the 'results' ?............

[ferryman]

Because that's what the Met says.

And because the first enquiry was shelved with no evidence pointing to the guilt of the McCanns or any of their friends.

In fact, it was shelved with nothing at all.
