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

[stephen25000]

How do you know SY have achieved nothing?   You know nothing about the investigation and neither does anyone else.

Very straightforward .

Have they found how Madeleine disappeared from the apartment ?

NO.

Have they determined Madeline's fate ?

NO.

NO.

Are you a detective in the hunt for Madeleine?   NO

Off topic anyway.

I'm just pointing out that you seem to feel the need to misquote DCI Redwood. Why you wish to mislead people if what happened to Madeleine is so clear I can't imagine. Is it because no police force has actually committed itself by stating categorically that she was abducted?

No police force can state it as fact until they have cast iron proof.  That is why the Met have said only that the believe Madeleine was taken in a criminal act by a stranger, and that is the theory they are working on.

You believe they have said that and you believe that's what they are investigating. They have, of course, also mentioned death and murder, which some people prefer to ignore.

What a stupid comment, but one that "sceptics" never tire of making as if the opposite of "taken in a criminal act by a stranger" is "death and murder".  If Madeleine was taken in a criminal act by a stranger, then "death and murder" was (sadly) likely to follow.

Except that's not what Redwood said. He chose his words carefully.

Yawn.  As I've said before, if it comforts you to read things into his words that aren't actually there then that's your choice.

I'll let Redwood illustrate the stupidity or otherwise of what I said;

''Redwood said the assumption that Madeleine was abducted "may not follow with all our thinking" on the case.''

and;

Redwood did say during the same press conference that police were considering the possibility that Madeleine was not alive when taken from the apartment as well as the possibility that she was.

And?
Interesting that you have quoted an article with the headline:
"Madeleine McCann police seek intruder who attacked girls at holiday homes"

[Alfie]

Is it or is it not true that when "sceptics" quote the "abduction may not follow with all our thinking" and the "considering the possibility that she may not have left the apartment alive" they believe this is a coded message from Andy Redwood that he and his team still have parental involvement on the table, and not that he meant that Madeleine may have been killed and removed from the apartment by a stranger?

His statement seems to cover both options quite nicely.

Not really, especially not when you view it in the context of when it was said, and a propos of their appeal for information re: a serial sex attacker.

I was pointing out that davel seems to have got it wrong;

''based on the evidence...we believe Madeleine McCann was removed from the apartment by a stranger....DCI Redwood...Scotland Yard''

Perhaps it's time he replaced it with something accurate.

there is nothing in that quote about whether Madeleine was removed alive or dead so the quote is quite accurate.

Is it acceptable to quote words which were never said? I thought you were a stickler for accuracy Alfie?
