A Thread To Discuss Alfred's Theory in detail.

[colombosstogey]

When did SY investigate the mccanns and the rest of the grouop ?

SY has never come out and said that .

It was supposed to be an open investigation, and it clearly has not been that.

and let's not forget the nature of the crime has yet to be established. &%+((£

Yes I agree stephen25000. Were they not made aquidos, and then left PDL quickly. I do think they should be talked to and I do think there should have been a proper and correct reconstruction.

Also as you said the only thing we have at the moment is a MISSING PERSONS report.......

Didn't the Tapas restaurant staff say that it was usual for the McCanns group to perform checks during dinner?

Not quite.  They said that it was usual for them to have to return meals to the kitchen for re-heating because of regular absences (several waiters said that).

The obvious inference is that these absences were because the group were running checks on the children.

Stephen Carpenter was in the restaurant on 3rd and commented on regular comings and goings of the group.

[Brietta]

I can't explain why this board allows you to get away with that uncorroborated and outright libellous guess.

Common sense would have dictated that had there been a huge change in activity from no checking on any other night to half hourly checking on the night Madeleine disappeared ... the PJ would have been over it like a rash.

Doesn't make a lack of common sense an excuse for making statements which are not substantiated, though.

Did they?
Just asking like as yours is a closed-ended question too 

[faithlilly]

Perhaps you should check your facts before accusing others of making stuff up

This is what Vixte posted :

"It was the McCanns who pushed for the British dogs to come to PDL."

There is nothing to substantiate that claim. The petition obviously has nothing to do with the McCanns as the name Maddie is used.

You didn't answer the question.

Why is that ?

[ferryman]

Yes.

Several did.

[Alice Purjorick]

Yes.

Several did.

Were they interviewed by the fuzz and their statements included the files released?

Yes.

Joaquim Baptista:

When asked, he said that during dinner the men from the group would leave the table, returning to the table a few minutes later. The witness says that he does not know where they went. These absences would last for about 15 minutes. He cannot say with what regularity these absences occurred.

(Adds)

The witness remembers these occurrences well as would often have to take a plate of food requested by one of them back, due to the guest's absence, when he would find that the guest was not at the table when he came to serve the food.

Still waiting ferryman.

[ferryman]

Still waiting ferryman.

For your corroboration of your assertion.

I'm sure some people are ...

No ferryman, I'm waiting for proof that the mccanns checked on their children themselves, on any other night than the one Madeleine disappeared.

Do you have it ?

If the checks were less frequent than claimed then the window for abduction would be greater....good point

So tiresome, Stephen, you made the original assertion that they didn't so it is actually up to you to substantiate your assertion ... then you never do.

However it doesn't really matter does it ... what matters is that SY are moving forward with Madeleine's case to the extent they will be questioning suspects and witnesses this week. I doubt any of the questions will be about the McCann's parenting skills.

More t's crossed and i's dotted.

Must be more than a few worried people in Portugal, and not before time too.
