Was Mark Rowley wrong to claim that Madeleine McCann was abducted?

[Erngath]

The sad thing is that some people seem to be rubbing their hands with glee and anticipation, drooling, almost, with anticipation at the notion that Operation Grange will draw a blank.

You know, hang Madeleine, just rejoice and exalt at the prospect that Kate's and Gerry's anguish may be intensified by simply never knowing what happened to Madeleine; at least, for some people, the runners-up 'prize' if they can't actually look forward to the prospect of Kate and Gerry languishing in a Portuguese jail for the crimes of others against their eldest, and first-born, child ....

Depressing beyond words.

Indeed.

[Mr Gray]

Nothing there that is evidence of abduction.

Yet again, stating it isn't evidence, just an opinion.

redwood has said...based on the evidence......so there is evidence as far as the professionals are concerned

Now when did Redwood disappear into retirement, after finding Zip ?

[stephen25000]

Rowley has stated  that Madeleine was abducted.

Do not tell me what" I need to comprehend"

You do not know what he knows.

And please stop posting your opinions as facts

Stating abduction does not make it a fact.

Rowley on what Redwood had to say.

 

In terms of Andy using the word abduction, she was not old enough to set off and start her own life.
However she left that apartment, she has been abducted

Also worth noting no where as any one stated that this alleged incident is limited to wholly and solely stranger involvement.

[Mr Gray]

Starting abduction does not make it a fact.

with Redwood stating it as fact it makes it highly likely it is a fact

[Erngath]

Starting abduction does not make it a fact.

I am not stating it.
Rowley is.

Redwood destroyed the one piece of evidence which could have pointed to an abduction.  What a clever guy!

You do not  know what he found.
That is your opinion, you cannot possibly know what he found.
Even with the question mark.

I think its safe to say the landscaping produced nothing.

I don't know but I assume it  did produce enough to warrant the further investigation that is/was taking place.

I could be wrong but I thought it was linked to the ridiculous theory of the burglary gone wrong,which lead no where unsurprisingly imo.

[Angelo222]

what is hypocritical of some posters is that amaral has been saying as a fact for almost 10 yeras that maddie died in the apartment....he has said the children were sedated every night with calpol, of that there is no doubt...and those statemnts have been allowed to be expressed by him.
yet when rowley says Maddie was abducted...all hell breaks loose

I think you have your facts and opinion mixed up.  Amaral's claims have never been accepted on this forum as fact unless backed up by evidence.

As for your evidence of abduction, more hot air.
