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
There are so many allegations in this post that it's hard to know where to start.
Could you please substantiate them?
- What's controversial about the "last photo"? Do you have a problem that the Sagres weather charts indicating a pleasant sunny day are more likely to represent the local weather than Faro? ETA: Where exactly did that weather chart come from? Not clear.
- The "tennis" photo: various people would have been taking photos. Kate said she took that one: please provide evidence that she didn't. The tennis instructor appears clear which day it was.
- The "paucity" of photos: how do you know how many photos were taken? If some were not useful (e.g., Madeleine seen from behind playing with the twins, or any that may have been out of focus, there would be no reason to publicise those).
- Which are the 3 other photos in question?
- Re Alex Woolfall of Bell Pottinger coming out to PdL: who is the "they" that you refer to?
I'll leave this point for a separate post:
- "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."
