When will the online persecution of the McCanns end?

It can't be closed and unlocked. It locks immediately it is closed.  If someone managed to slide the window open from the outside then it wasn't closed/locked in the first place.

I understand that but it only locks in the last millimeter of travel. So those windows can easily look closed and locked but it is short of that by a couple of millimeters.
I've had windows like this and they need a little force to close them as the last mm is actually compressing the seal.

I accept what you are saying Rob but if someone managed to slide it open from the outside then it was unlocked to begin with.

If someone did open the shutters and window from outside there would appear to be no motive for doing that.

Evidently bit can
Peter mac made a video showing it

He made a video of opening the shutter from the outside not the window. You need to open the window to get inside. There is no evidence of anybody going through that window.

Exactly. Not a scratch, no scuff marks, NOTHING.

OK I think I agree with that.

A burglar might try and do this.

A video I saw a person can lift the shutters enough to push the unlocked window open and reach in to the mechanism to raise the shutters all from the outside.   It may not have been Peter Mac.

The burglar then did what? Wander off into the night?

I think you may be referring to Heriberto the 'pillow abductor'.

Yes.  I thought that was a bit silly too.  But we can't rule out that the window was opened and shutters were raised in an attempted burglary.  Maybe Gerry disturbed him and he left without entering.

That could be a solution!  For how did Gerry see Madeleine if the room was dark?  Gerry didn't turn the lights on did he? So where is the light coming from to admire his kids?  So were the shutters raised but he hadn't clicked that the room was lit up more than it should be if the shutters were down.  Matt had noticed the room brighter than his apartment but he failed to really question why.

The topic of the thread is the online persecution of the McCanns and when it will end.  Please ensure further posts stay on topic.  Thank you
