Kate McCann: I believe kidnapper drugged my twins night Madeleine was taken.

[Mr Gray]

an abduction woud have been very simple....according to the expert on the Disaptches programme

It's strange that the duffers of the PJ, Scotland Yard and the Portuguese prosecutors are the ones who insist on abduction, while the real experts, specifically, the sceptic-community of this board, are the only ones who know!

Odd, that ....

[Alfie]

It's been attempted several times, but I have seen no plausible logical theory of abduction.

you can't have been looking in the right place then.

Even odder that despite this knowledge, they have no culprit

It's not odd is it?  We all know that Claudia Lawrence was abducted and murdered but we don't know who did it. Do you think it's odd that no cuplrit has been found despite £1m being spent trying to find one, or just unfortunate?

No we don't.  Police believe that to be so.

What is odd is your post. Please provide cites showing the PJ, SY and the Portuguese prosecutors insisting on abduction.

What is it that your mythical 'community' know, in your opinion?

[Alfie]

No we don't.  Police believe that to be so.

It is the only plausible, logical theory.  Her family have accepted it, the police have treated it as a murder enquiry, now do you find it odd that  culprit has not been found, if so why?

What it has to do with the alleged abduction of a three year old in Portugal I cannot imagine. Particularly on a thread about alleged sedation of the child's siblings?

I suggest you read it in context then.  Apparently it is "odd" according to Jassi that the Met, though treating Madeleine's disappearance as a case of stranger abduction, have not found the culprit.  There is nothing odd about it, just unfortunate, same as in other cases where, despite spending huge amounts of money and resources no culprit is found.

Is it a fact they are treating the disappearance as a case of stranger abduction? I don't think that's quite as cut and dried as some people like to pretend it is. The only quote containing the word 'abduction' on the Met's website is from the McCanns, the Met refer to her 'disappearance';
http://news.met.police.uk/news/update-on-the-investigation-into-the-disappearance-of-madeleine-mccann-135459

In the final analysis, of course, the case is not theirs, either. They are assisting the Portuguese because it's their case. It's very different from a UK case in that respect, because they don't have full control of the investigation, full access to any suspects, or the final word on anything.

If neither the Met nor the PJ are treating the case as one of stranger abduction perhaps you can explain why the PJ made a number of locals arguidos?  And why Andy Redwood did an appeal as part of Operation Grange concerning sex attacks on young British girls on the Algarve?  Was it just to throw the "real" culprits off the scent?

Are the locals still arguidos? I believe they were given that status almost 3 years ago and very much doubt it still applies. And if OG are following the sex attacks lead why question Robert Murat, his wife and John Hill and his wife?

There are many unanswered questions.

In the scheme of things it would make no difference if the kids were drugged or not, we would never be certain who gave it to them if they did.  I have finished making any investigation into the use of sedatives.
