Met given 6 months and £2 million more to find Maddie. Is this the end?

[pegasus]

SY don't need to interview them yet when they have a copy of their book of truth 

IMO obviously SY have interviewed all 9 adults.

[ShiningInLuz]

The issuing by a judge of search warrants is not public information. Therefore the PJ accompanied by SY may have searched some places without us hearing of it.
The only searches we see on TV are the ones of large areas which it would be impossible to keep secret. IMO for searches of small places, SY would not tell the press.
...

This is not impossible, but personally I would be astounded to find it had happened.

The media seems to have reported each ILOR, and SY would not be searching anything in Portugal without it going in an ILOR.  The leaks on ILOR content so far have been fairly accurate.
All visits to Portugal by SY are news, and widely reported, so the idea they sneaked a team in under the radar sounds improbable.
The search warrant would need to be served on someone, (or alternatively permission granted by someone in a manner that satisfied Portuguese law), so that someone would need to be keeping it quiet from everyone.
The neighbours would need to be keeping the search activity totally quiet.

The level of news reporting on this is driven by the fundamental principle that a Maddie story sells copy.  A scoop like "OG conducts secret search of ..." has to be worth more than "rain-sodden note found outside 5A on 1st anniversary".

So for this to have happened, it had to clear several hurdles.

[Mr Gray]

DP said he went inside with Kate and Gerry. Those 3 are together again like YW experienced on the morning of the 4th. The same 3 who claim to have seen Madeleine after 5:30 on 3 May. This won't be stopped until they sort this mess out.

We went, you know went to the apartment err you know and I didn't actually enter too much into the room but I walked to the edge and you know there was, you know the twins were in their cots, err they were in you know parallel, there was you know I could see, you know I think they were much further into the room but you know I could see Madeleine's bed and then you know it was just like all hell broke loose.

if SY have said the McCanns are not suspects then logically this has all been sorted out

Doesn't mean nothing in an on-going case. Police can do what they like.

[Mr Gray]

This is what John O'Connor actually said...it's good to see how supportive he is of the McCanns

John O’Connor

This case is unique

It’s clear that the Portuguese got on the wrong track

Just think of the punishment they put the poor parents through

Grange has been re-investigating

They are doing things that the Portuguese Police should have done years ago

They’ve said they’re not doing a running commentary

Their investigation is confidential

It is a matter for the police to decide

If they think there’s a chance of a resolution, then the cost and resources are immaterial

They are doing exactly the right thing

The parents are entitled to all the available resources

They have a huge amount of intelligence and information

The Senior Investigating Officer has the knowledge and is the best person to decide, we should go by her advice

Things seem hopeful to me

There may be a resolution in sight

The husband of a missing Gloucestershire woman is no longer suspected of her murder, police have confirmed.

Acting Det Supt Neil Kelly, the senior investigating officer in the case, said: "The investigation into Mrs.........disappearance and suspected death remains active and is continuing, and will do so for the foreseeable future."

we all realise that should new information come to light things could change...I just don't see it happening based on everything we have seen

They are not going to tell us. What happened about new forensics?

OCT 2014

Scotland Yard detectives secretly met the head of Portugal’s Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences earlier this month.

The centre, near Lisbon, holds crucial Portuguese police evidence linked to the three-year-old British girl’s disappearance in 2007 from the resort of Praia da Luz in the Algarve.

The Metropolitan Police officers have now asked to retest some of the hairs in the hope of finding fresh evidence of what happened to her.

The Ooperation Grange team also want to do tests on curtains that were hanging in the Algarve apartment when Maddie went missing.

They met with the bosses of Portugal’s Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences in Coimbra, two hours drive north of Lisbon, where most of the material, also said to include 25 blood and saliva samples, is held.

Institute president Francisco Brizida, said afterwards: “I have the certainty they went away very happy.”

“The tonic of the meeting was about the possibility of the tests on samples collected in 2007 being re-done.

“The British police wanted clarification on the examinations the institute had carried out during the early stages of the inquiry in the areas of genetics and biology.

“We talked about non-identified material that was collected in Madeleine’s apartment.

“I can’t say for sure new DNA tests that didn’t yield a conclusive result in 2007 could now yield an objective result.

“But technology nowadays allows us to go further than years ago in areas like genetic markers.

“Several possibilities are open. One could be that British police do the tests in Britain with British technology and another that the institute does them.

“But that’s an area in which the institute does not have the last word. There’s a situation of judicial cooperation and a new international letter of request would be necessary."

I think that if the mccanns were suspects Portugal would be giving them all the help they need to bring them to justice...they aren't...they are doing the opposite...that is one of the many reasons why I believe the mccanns are not in the frame

[Lace]

Context of that statement was the 38 people of interest SY had listed at a specific time
You could be right and the statement be a blanket one forever more but you don't know..and I'm not sure how SY know either that there is NO possibility of parental involvement...if they really did they would be lapse in not telling the world then the world might stop speculating

Don't be silly mercury,   do you really think SY telling the public how they know the McCann's and friends are innocent would stop the speculating?

Some of the public are so hell bent on Amaral's theory that they ignore everything SY say,  maybe that's why they have decided to say nothing.

Even the Portuguese police were investigating tractor man,  why would they do that if they thought the McCann's were guilty?

Why haven't the Portuguese police asked the McCann's down for questioning?   Why haven't they arrested them?

Exactly davel,   do they honestly believe the Portuguese and SY would be wasting all this money if all they had to do was arrest the McCann's?    It really is laughable,  but unfortunately there's a child missing in all of this.

[Lace]

You don't act upon it until you can prove it or it's no comment, no comment, no ffin tossin' comment  %£&)**#

What,   you mean they haven't arrested the McCann's because Kate wouldn't answer the questions the Portuguese police put to her?

Don't be ridiculous.    The Portuguese police have been investigating Tractor Man,  now they say they are concentrating on the couple who wanted a child.

All this time all this money,  and all they have to do is get Kate back in for questioning?   You are really talking rubbish.

[pathfinder73]

SY took everything back to zero and they're list is getting smaller all the time. This ain't gonna stop until their work is done.

What's the next number down from zero?

[Mr Gray]

why were SY interested in the australian girl recently if they thought the McCanns were responsible
