Do past events tell their own story?

[Robittybob1]

I thought the Portuguese Police have been quoted as saying the McCann's are not suspects,  so which is it?

SC = supreme court, a different organisation to the PJ.

[Carana]

They agreed to go back to Portugal,   there was nothing stopping the PJ from asking them to return.

Question though,  why did Amaral cancel the first reconstruction?

I could make a guess... and I doubt that it's anything do with disrupting other tourists...

S
I know that,  but if the SC have said they are still suspects  on what grounds are they saying that?  As the Police have said they are not.

Everyone who has followed this case from the start knows what went on.  No doubt those who participated would rather it all go away.

Just another feeble excuse.  If they had really wanted to go back it would have happened.

My comment was in response to Lace's question as to why Amaral didn't organise one.

'to get sympathy and money for their fund'.     One of the things that parents of a missing child want to do is to keep their child in the public eye,   'don't forget about me'  is on the posters isn't it?    So you think it was for money,   yet it took a large amount of money to do it,   unbelievable.

Well the ole business mantra is you gotta spend money to make money, they got paid for their interviews and I see no profit and loss account being produced by the transparent accounts. Unless the McCanns have a different understanding of transparent that the dictionary and the many readers here.

So you know for definite they were paid for interviews do you?

Amaral's civil case against Correia is of little consequence as was his minor lie to the court in what was a misguided effort to protect his officers.  There is a much bigger picture here and it is only a matter of time before it all comes out.

The op asks, do past events tell their own story, I believe they certainly do.

[Mr Gray]

There have been a number of official suspects or arguidos in this case including expat Robert Murat, Russian national Sergey Malinka and Maddie's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. None of them have come out of this smelling of roses for one reason or another. 

Let me say firstly that it is by no means unusual for the parents of a missing child to attract suspicion since most child abduction cases do involve persons known to the child.  In this case however there are other peripheral events which leave many questions still to be answered. Those events include the refusal by Kate McCann to answer the simplest questions when formally interviewed, the voluntary non participation by the parents and their friends in a reconstruction of the events on the night Maddie disappeared, the savage attack on certain Portuguese police officers and the detective who led the original investigation. Then there was the Oakley International debacle involving fraudster Kevin Halligen which saw a secret Report and e-fits withheld from the public. Add to this the murky business involving the Madeleine Fund and the Spanish private detective agency Metodo 3 and a certain pattern begins to develop.

The Archive Report issued back when the original enquiry was shelved for lack of evidence stated that the parents had "failed to demonstrate their non involvement" and the Portuguese Supreme Court has more recently been forced to make the unprecedented declaration that the parents have not been cleared.

The Madeleine Fund itself has attracted much criticism.  Far from being the transparent Company it was initially set up to be to handle donations from the public, it has morphed into something else with accounts and payments shrouded in secrecy.

Are all these events interrelated or is there more to this than meets the eye?

they tell the story the reader decides they tell....kate didnt answer 48 questions because imo she was advised not to because the questions were designed to make her incriminate herself and possibly be wrongfully arrested....thats what it tells me. Much of what you have posted is your opinion but you seem to think its fact

When was the last time the MET or the PJ made a public appeal to find Madeleine?

As far as I know, it was 2013 on Crimewatch.

Apart from that they went digging in the dirt with cadaver dogs.

No doubt they just wanted to leave a few less stones unturned.
