Australian Ch7 documentary claims new lead in search for missing Madeleine McCann.

[Mr Gray]

I watched a few minutes of it and there was definitely a bit of footage showing a female interviewer walking with both McCanns in Portugal recently asking them questions.

I dont think it could be anything else....the mccanns were interviewed for the programme

Part 3 starts with Amaral repeating his claim that Kate was there when something happened to Madeleine. Gerry refutes this claim that a body could be hidden as just nonsense.  Clarence Mitchell adds that claims they hid the body and moved it two weeks later in a rental car are laughable. Forensic investigator Prof Dave Barclay says he is not in favour of cadaver dogs being used as evidence. He agrees that the theory that Madeleine may have got out and been run over by a drunk driver is a distinct possibility  "...that's an incentive for him to pick up the body and conceal it somewhere".

Paul Luckman says Amaral was removed from the investigation because "he was fixated on one single solution when clearly you had to look wider".

Pat Brown repeats the claim that Madeleine may have been over sedated and had a fall. She says there are other cases where parents have tried to move the blame to cover for neglect or abuse. She also claims the friends are complicit in the coverup. It is noticeable that the interviewer has a permanent smirk on her face at Browns claims.  When asked how a body could be hidden on the beach for three weeks Brown suggests it was put in a bag and hidden in a crevice in the rocks. Asked how the McCann knew where to hide the body on the beach Brown replies that they walked on the beach regularly and "...it's possible they just got lucky".

Luckman seems to be unaware of the reason why Amaral was removed.

Of course, but no doubt it met someone's creative need & kept a few people employed for a while.

I suppose a look at the cast list, noting in particular who is not on it, would give a reasonable indication of where it's at.
"Along with the gold mine full of pyrites would you like a bridge and some magic beans?"

He has plenty of company on that score.

how do we know that there isnt some truth in what Luckman said

Carly has read the thread several times and in view of her previous posts praising the australian media for their fairness and openess Id be interested to know what she thought of this australian programme

Part 4 introduces former DCI Andy Redwood and his claim that Madeleine may still be alive. It is pointed out that there are numerous other cases on the Algarve where a man entered children's bedroom's and sexually assaulted other female children. Reference is made to the numerous suspicious men seen around the Ocean Club apartments.  Clarence interjects that there had been a number of breaking on the Algarve where children had been asleep and this intruder had been disturbed in some cases and chad fled.

The more recent article in which a nanny has claimed that it was so unsafe in PdL that they were given rape alarms and told not to go outside alone.

Retired Met DI Colin Sutton states it would be almost impossible without specific information to find a body in the beach areas around PdL. "There are areas there where humans don't go from one decade to the next".

02.32 Channel 7 claims, "In the months before Madeleine disappeared there was a fourfold increase in the number of robberies in the area and just weeks before Madeleine arrived there were two unsolved burglaries in the very block where the McCanns could stay".

05.39 Interviewer still with stupid smirk on her face asks Amaral, "So you think MI5, the British Secret Service helped conceal Madeleine McCann's body?".  To which Amaral replies, "I'm not saying that much but I'm saying for sure they had the involvement in the situation".

Interviewer, "Do you seriously consider the British Government would allow its agents to cover up a crime?". Amaral, "Well I'm not really su...so I can't answer that".

This part ends with Ch7 interviewer pointing out that a Portuguese Court has upheld Amaral's right to express his "preposterous theories".

No bias there, then.  Not even a teeny little bit.

I have still to watch and document Part 5 but it seems very clear that this work by Channel 7 is one giant piss take by their reporter Rahni Sadler!  I bet Amaral is furious he ever gave them the time of day.

its a matter of opinion......I think it was very true to the facts..amarals theory about MI5 covering up a crime is preposterous and it needs to be said

Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long).

When: Wednesday 3rd May on BBC 1 (exactly 10 years after the crime).

Madeleine McCann is the world's most famous missing person. Her disappearance ten years ago has been investigated by police forces in two different countries, but they came up with contradictory conclusions. So what really happened to Madeleine in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz? Reporter Richard Bilton, who has covered the story for the BBC since the first days, examines the evidence and tracks down the men British police have questioned about the case.

No doubt on that.

I wonder what people will make of the McCann's answers to questions, especially at the end of part 3.

Are you saying that government or government agencies never cover up crimes ?
