Is there any hard evidence whatsoever in the Madeleine McCann case?

[mercury]

As I understand it with a CDA.

A quick google brings up kitchen appliances! What's a CDA?

Oh mercury, I dont believe it.

Maybe you are new to the scene, but Kate says that the window was shut when they went out.  When she came back, it was open.  Dont you remember Kate saying about the door slamming and the curtains whooshing?  The window had to be open for that.

The discussion was about how the window came to be opened from the outside as per Heribert's theory.

Ask Brietta and one or two others I make reference to it a lot; they have never queried it so either know or unlike you are too embarrassed to show they don't.

According to Kate Mccann the window was closed, as it had been all week, so how did the intruder open it from outside?

Give the closed window a tiny sideways push and it slides open.
There is hard video evidence of this.

I'd rather not if it's OK as all responses to questions and comments come as a sarcastic scolding and a lesson or accusation or two rammed

If a window with a handle is closed, I don't believe it can just be slid open but if there is video evidence of this, I'd love to see it. What's the point of a handle/closing mechanism then?

Like I said, the photos taken in the apartment that same night are hard evidence.
For example if we want to know what was at a certain location in the apartment. A photo taken that night is hard evidence of what was there. No guessing required. IMO the PJ photo evidence can be used to show that a certain accusation by the original joint investigation was illogical at best.

The open window and shutter has always bothered me but there is another possibility which has never to my knowledge been explored.

A burglar could have again targeted block 5 thinking the occupants were all out, lifted the shutter and opened the window.  Realising he had just disturbed a young child he panicks and scarpers.  The scared Madeleine then gets up only to find her parents gone so attempts to look for them, opens the unlocked front door and disappears into the night.

Not impossible, in theory, and I'd wondered about it as well, but I just can't imagine a not-quite-four-year-old quietly going out of the front door into the night into what may have seemed like a creepy parking lot having just been frightened by a bogeyman.

[Carana]

Would the child get onto the bed to be lifted though? Surely at 4 she is old enough to be wary of strangers and keep well away thought she would be too scared and it was dark in the room too.

Nothing's impossible, but I just can't imagine why a child of that age would happily wander off towards a stranger who'd lifted a noisy blind and opened a window at night.

Wandering off towards a puppy or kitten during the day, yes, but would even that kind of lure work at night?

Why not look at the instinctive direction instead?
And BTW there is a huge physical clue confirming what the direction was.

[Brietta]

The more her story changes the less it can be trusted.

Jane Tanner's story has not changed ... if you think it has, I think you should explain exactly how.

Why not answer my question, how could a closed window be opened from outside? If you have evidence it wasn't closed, please share it.

Other people are changing it for her it seems.....

Pegasus thinks he got lucky finding an unlocked window after lifting noisy shutters but the kids wouldn't hear them. They have to ignore the obvious to try and find their truth. A door was said to be moved and Tannerman was the one. Their abductor has gone - SY have got rid so all eyes are now on the hidden less important one. But not for number 1 enemy Amaral. That man was firmly in his sights. Somebody was in the apartment not via the window and took her out not via the window and he is still unidentified.
