It wasn't the first time a burglar got in via a window at the resort!

[jassi]

and no evidence of a break in = no break in right?  And you reject the sort of cops that consider Madeleine may have been killed or taken as the result of a burglary gone wrong too I guess...?

While it would be wrong to reject this out of hand, as yet, the police have failed to publicly demonstrate anything to support the idea.

Certainly correct to take nothing for granted, but I think it is possible that the review which turned into an investigation might be a pretty sound clue as to present professional thinking about what happened to Madeleine McCann all those years ago.

There is no clear definitive proof that Madeleine McCann is dead ... DCI Redwood

... and at long last Madeleine McCann is being looked for ... co-incidence or not, as part of that inquiry they have spoken to burglars who in case you have forgotten are arguidos ... that tells me that they are much more than persons of interest or witnesses and if not a public demonstration that they support the abduction theory, I have no idea what you think would meet that criteria.

Its a public demonstration that they are looking in that direction, not that they have found anything.

Did I say that? I rather think not!

[Alfred R Jones]

Did I say that? I rather think not!

Why is a discussion about burglaries in the Algarve on a Madeleine McCann forum not relevant then, do tell us again so we can be clear what you did say.

[Brietta]

One thing certain sure ... if you ain't looking the chances of you finding anything are very slim indeed ... as has been proved by the abysmal conduct of the first investigation.

Although they have had almost eight years to cover their tracks ... is it your suggestion that making the burglars arguidos is just a public demonstration of window dressing?

If you can supply proof positive of that they can sue the cotton socks off two State Policing Authorities in between their visits to the European Court of Human Rights.

Metodo 3, Oakley International and AIG were not exactly scintillating in their performances were they?
My understanding was that under Portuguese law a person may ask for arguido status to be granted them.
For all the interviewing and so not too many people have been charged have they?

[jassi]

So what exactly have they come up with so far ?

I don't think I said that either.
Read my previous posts, don thy thinking cap and all will become clear.

Your point seems to be to belittle anyone who suggests that break-ins on the Algarve might have some potential relevance to the case by telling us (as if we needed reminding) that burglaries exist the world over - that much is very clear.

In any case you have already confirmed that you don't think discussion about Algarve burglaries are relevant when you wrote this in response to my question asking you why you felt such a disussion was irrelevant:

"Mainly because two different sorts of cops said there was no evidence of a break in I suppose".

and you want a break-in, since without that what do the McCann's have to fall back on ?

Well that is your opinion to which you are entitled.

Evidence or more particularly the lack of evidence to implicate them in any way in involvement in Madeleine's disappearance ... and the firm conviction of the PJ and SY that an intruder was responsible for taking Madeleine ... which is why they are particularly interested in what some burglars may have to say.

So on that note, you would have to say there is as much evidence of accidental death in the apartment, or outside, wouldn't you ?
