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

[Brietta]

Perhaps because of that precision,the case remains unsolved.

From start to finish of the interview it seemed to me that AC Mark Rowley was adamant that despite continuing keeping an open mind while following the current leads in Madeleine's case both the SY and PJ investigations are focused on a particular line of inquiry.

Revelation of which would compromise the investigation.

I got the distinct impression that both organisations are working in close cooperation with each other on whatever direction it is their enquiries have taken them.  Sounded to me as if they are now following the same path which I think may be a sound one, particularly as we know they approached it from different directions.

If there had been any suggestion the woke and wandered scenario features anywhere I think he would have found a way of saying that without risk to the "small number of lines of enquiry" they are pursuing.

I don't think 'woke and wandered' is of any interest to them, they are after a specific target.

We shall see on that Brietta.

What will you say, if as I have stated since the beginning, the case is shelved once more, with no resolution ?

I have long held the view it'll end with a simple statement along the lines of person or persons unknown removed Madeleine from 5a leaving no clue as to her whereabouts.

Or perhaps Maddie was abducted by persons unknown

Yep!

I would echo all that.

You are expressing your opinion as fact ... as well as deflecting from the topic which is
'Was Mark Rowley wrong to claim that Madeleine McCann was abducted?'

In case you did not notice it Brietta, it was ferryman who brought up the subject of avarice.

In what way, by the way, was I expressing my opinion as fact ?

[barrier]

Doesn't fit in my scenario,for it do so a point of egress has to be known,three to choose from,not one has been mentioned by SY.

[Brietta]

The topic is: Was Mark Rowley wrong to claim that Madeleine McCann was abducted?

Posts without reference to that will be deleted.
Thank you

He, merely expressed his opinion.

Which other members of the team of 4 remaining officers have expressed their opinions on this ?

[Mr Gray]

An extremely valid point.

Rowley's statement was full of contradictions.

In your opinion
I don't see that

[Mr Gray]

It would be the opinion of the team

Missing persons cases are never shelved in Britain as far as I am aware.  The Portuguese have recently stated that Madeleine's case will not be closed ... perhaps changes in the penal code now circumvent 'shelving' of such cases, as happened first time round?

[Mr Gray]

Steering the post back on topic, Mark Rowley has confirmed the correctness of the (ultimate) conclusion of the shelved enquiry (that Madeleine was abducted) and confirming, further, that significant lines of enquiry are being pursued (to bring Madeleine's abductor(s) to book

Precisely

[stephen25000]

The only way the McCanns had any chance of securing just recompense for the foul calumnies inflicted upon Kate and Gerry, Madeleine and especially the search for Madeleine was if Amaral's assets were seized in preparation for a (just) transfer of his ill-gotten gains to a worthwhile cause, the search for Madeleine.

But then, crooked Supreme-Court lawyers determined a different path.

As another reminder, Rowley was expressing his opinion, that's all.

Is Rowley, by the way, part of the remaining 4 people, on the team, or is he merely the spokesman.

That of course was a rhetorical question.

It is not his job to say an abduction occurred. Surely , that would be determined in court, if anyone was brought to court of course.

Do you have a cite for that Brietta.

Besides, the UK system is irrelevant in this case, as the crime , if any occurred, took place in Portugal.
