This is interesting from the doctor’s testimony.

“ And do you remember Mr
Mitchell? Would you recognise him? - No, I
don't think so.”

Dr Hiremath’s, I would assume, didn’t see many 14 year olds who needed the kind of samples that she took from Luke taken. She would certainly have been up close and personal with him for a prolonged period of time and yet she admitted that she would not recognise him.

It does make you question the other eyewitness testimony in this case.

I thought the argument was that because Mitchell was all over the media his face was so familiar that it created false memory syndrome.  Odd that she claims she wouldn’t recognise him, given her involvement in such a high profile case.

It’s also interesting that the prosecution went to the length of paying for a fingerprint expert to discredit Mrs Mitchell. They had absolutely no way to discredit her actual alibi evidence so had to resort the desperate act of destroying her credibility wholesale.

I read through Dr. Hiremath's testimony, who indicated that fingernail scrapings were taken from Luke.  Lack of blood or DNA from these samples is mildly exculpatory.  The fact that the samples were taken bolsters the argument that Luke was a suspect as of 6:30 AM on 1 July.

I see no difference other than the number of people investigating has been reduced from four to three.

Stand by for the perennial brickbats...

The Metropolitan Police is understood to be continuing its support for authorities in Germany and Portugal.

Det Ch Insp Mark Cranwell, who is overseeing the British investigation into the disappearance, said: "We continue to support Madeleine's family to understand what happened on the
