I'm making nothing up but perhaps you do not have the intelligence to see that... I am reporting what Redwood actually said live on camera

I'm still waiting for evidence of abduction.

[Mr Gray]

I'm still waiting for evidence of abduction.

I'm trying very hard not to call you stupid but you have asked that question a million times and I have answered it

You were asked that by me and other posters numerous times.

As was said to you last night,  don't bother with that other thread, there is nothing there.

There is no evidence, let alone proof.

then why are you asking stupid questions

[Brietta]

Redwood states live...so no misreporting...
it is our belief...based on the evidence...that it was a criminal act by a stranger

listen at 3 minutes

There is absolutely no mistaking that ... isn't modern technology superb when taken in context.

The question that now faces us is how after a lengthy review of ALL the evidence we are to interpret the following as Scotland Yard disavowing that Madeleine McCann wasn't the victim of stranger abduction.

• it is our belief
• based on the evidence
• criminal act
• by a stranger

I've puzzled about it ... but the nuance which eliminates abduction from the equation is escaping me ... no doubt someone will explain.

Maybe while they are at it they can take the time to explain why the Policia Judiiaria are also following the abduction theory.

and they have failed to find anything.

Isn't the SY team marvelous ?

Or of course, there was nothing to find in the first place.

Indeed the Scotland Yard team are marvellous and have sifted through mountains of information to eliminate that which can be ruled out to retain that which is relevant.

No easy task.

They are now following live relevant information which will either be ruled out or followed to its conclusion.

If I may say so you appear to have a really weird concept of how a police investigation works.

"There was nothing to find in the first place" ... Wow!!! have you forgotten Madeleine McCann, the missing child you apparently think is unworthy of being looked for ??????

[Alfred R Jones]

When a child is reported missing police don't see that as evidence of abduction. It's just one possibility.

An open window isn't evidence. Fingerprints, fibres, signs of forcing the window open are evidence.

A man seen carrying a child isn't evidence of an abduction, as was demonstrated by 'Tannerman' becoming 'Crecheman'.

Your opinion only.  If a suspected perpetrator, known for breaking and entering and sex crimes against children was found who resembled Smithman, and the police believed he was in the right place at the right time, then do you not think a sighting of a man carrying a child that night, and an open window would be considered evidence that the police might use to try and build a case against him?

Keep up alfred.

There is no evidence.

[Alfred R Jones]

So - there is no evidence of anything then.  None, nada, zilch.  Thousands of scraps of worthless paper in hundreds of files.  Great, glad we got that sorted then!

Unless the PJ realised what a **** job they did taking all those staements and have thrown them all in the bin

[stephen25000]

It seems to have escaped certain people's attention that the majority of files and leads in cases go nowhere.

Which is precisely what has happened in this case.

You are probably right.  Most of what has been investigated will likely have been totally irrelevant.

... and that's it, is it?

I thought it would have made bigger and more widespread copy than that?  anything at all in the Portuguese press apart from this worthy? scoop.

There was something some time ago about a letter from an illustrious German detective who happened to be in Luz at the time in question ... that seemed to fizzle out a bit too ... or ... was it a dream??  LOL
