Richard Hall's film 'When Madeleine Died?' uploaded to YouTube 19th Feb

[blonk]

If it had been shown to the public - it would have been dismissed as photoshopped by some sceptics - and Mr Edmonds would have been accused of being yet another person who was party to this massive conspiracy.

While it remains undisclosed sceptics can convince themselves that it doesn't exist and Mr Edmonds is lying about it - because he is party to this massive conspiracy. 

So damned if he does and damned if he doesn't imo.

This all beings us back to the question of the paucity of photographs of Madeleine that week.

Leaving aside for a moment the two very controversial photos - the 'Last Photo' and the 'Tennis Balls' photo, which miraculously seems to have been taken on two different days by two different people - what are we left with? - just three, all obviously taken on the late Saturday afternoon just after they arrived in Praia da Luz.

Another matter to put into the mix regarding the photographs is that Gerry and Kate McCann didn't allow the PJ to look at their original photographs.

No, they preferred the route of summoning up their cousin Michael Wright from Skipton and no less a person than the Head of Risk for one of the world's leading - and most controversial and notorious - PR agencies, Alex Woolfall of Bell Pottinger.

To do what?

To view, select, delete, amend, omit and crop all their photographs on their SD card(s), and put what was left of them on to two CDs, handing them into the PJ on Wednesday 9 May. The result was the useless 'grey-scale' images we see in the PJ files.

And why exactly was the Head of Risk for Bell Pottinger out in Praia da Luz on Friday 4 May anyway? Madeleine could have been found alive and well as he was flying out from Gatwick to Faro.   

Undoubtedly there is a very deep mystery about the photographs taken on that holiday

Let's get some accuracy here.

Your statement above should read:

Philip Edmonds was the man who says he gave police a photograph of his children with Madeleine in the background.

Have the police confirmed receipt of this alleged photograph?

NO

Is there any particular reason why they should?

And how many of Kate?

I think you exaggerate the degree of difficulty, but that's OK, it's not my role in life to persuade you otherwise.

Well thank goodness for that because you are not having any success. 

[blonk]

What nonsense. They investigate a lot more than you know. Your theory is madness. You can't make a girl disappear all week when she was seen by many nannies.

We have a statement from a cleaner who saw all members of the McCann family on the Sunday lunchtime. It is a clear, detailed statement.

Leaving aside the testimony of Catriona Baker, you refer to Madeleine 'being seen by many nannies'.

Could you please give a link to a nanny statement that week (apart from Cat Baker) which in your view gives us the clearest possible evidence of Madeleine being alive after Sunday. 

[jassi]

And how many of Kate?

I'm sure I read somewhere that Kate was  more interested in photography than was Gerry, so it is only to be expected that there might be few pictures of her. However, it is passing strange that there appear to be no photo's of her husband displaying his prowess on the tennis court.

They are easy to find - introducing herself as Maddie. Here's the tennis instructor confirming Madeleine alive on Tuesday.

"Madeleine, it being that the child also had a class, on Tuesday, 1 May (10-11h00), that class [in which] she was among a group of children was conducted by the deponent."

That's the day the tennis ball photo was taken. It's not fake. Pamela Fenn heard her crying for daddy that night. Fenn was in on nothing! Barmy conspiracy theories must be whooshed.

Do they have to?

Perhaps there are photos that the family have not published. I can't see how one of Gerry playing tennis would be
helpful to the investigation.

Why would we want to see those?

[xtina]

Why would Kate McCann mention everyone she met on holiday in her book?

Why would Mrs. Boyd lie?   her son was playing with Madeleine and she spoke to Kate,  I think she would remember that somehow after seeing posters of Madeleine everywhere.

Why would all the friends and Dianne Webster lie to the police?

well it was suppose to be such a memorable afternoon

i am not saying she lied ...she could have thought it was maddie .....after all its just a story in a magazine ...not sure if she received payment for it .......not classed as credable ...though is it

how many times have you seen a child who looks like maddie ...even my family members could resemble maddie .,.,.as in supermarkets child groups ...no disrespect to maddie ...but there was nothing striking that you would remember [like jet black/ginger//mass of curls hair dark skinned] ..standing out in a crowd...just a cute pretty little girl ...like most three year olds.

Dr Russell O'Brien.went to the reception to sort out the meals it was said with maddie ....it wasn't ..it was his daughter Elle

it is possible ....all these people thought it was maddie they saw .....after all why at the time should they have defiantly known who maddie was

I doubt few of us would, but think of the PR opportunities

Speculation.

'Perhaps'.

Not evidence

Why would any such photos be relevant?

Not evidence

You have no evidence. Claiming photos are fake without any evidence. Tennis instructor confirmed Madeleine was present on Tuesday when this photo was taken and the documentary claims it fake. You really need to do proper research before looking like the biggest clown in the McCann circus.
