Title: What routes are left to investigate re: the McCanns?
Post by: Vertigo Swirl on October 14, 2018, 03:21:22 PM
There is a view that the McCanns are still being investigated by, at the very least, the PJ, if not also the Met, despite repeated assurances from the police that the McCanns are not suspects.  So, assuming these assurances are lies, then what avenues of investigation are open to the police, particuarly the PJ as far as the McCanns are concerned? 
Forensics?  CCTV?  Re-interviews?  What?  And what evidence is there that the McCanns are currently under investigation?

The PJ reopened their case in 2013 and invited Madeleine's parents to a meeting with them and Scotland Yard at the time of making the announcement.
Have they ever sought to question the parents at any time since?

If the PJ considered the McCanns suspects and wanted to question them they would have to present new grounds for suspicion in order to make them arguidos.  Do you think this has happened?

No idea, only that the media found out and it was plastered all over the world’s press.  These were unknowns too, imagine if the McCanns were made arguidos again, that would be a sendational development and certainly would make someone a fair few quid divulging such a piece of news to the media.

Well as yet nothing else has happened either....

SY IMO has done a poor job...trying to find proof of abduction....or an abductor... 

They should have started from the beginning in the first place...

Not as you think where the PJ left off...

They then may have got somewhere IMO......

The weak point in the case is Russell O'Brien (ROB).  IMO if the SY detectives were able to make a plea deal with ROB the issue of parental involvement would be settled.
In fact I tend to think this has already happened based on what I heard Mark Rowley saying some years back.
Words like "However Madeleine left the apartment, she was abducted".

"However" is a word that only makes sense if he knew more than he was letting on.

There is no evidence from the police that they are being investigated but from past cases that doesn't necessarily matter. New forensics were probably included in an ILOR by Nicola Wall in 2015.

Sep 3, 2015

"But top Portuguese sources insist there was no evidence to suggest Operation Grange was going to be shut down at any point in the near future.

And they said they were expecting to receive a new international letter of request shortly from UK authorities - the second since DCI Nicola Wall took over from previous Operation Grange boss Andy Redwood at the end of last year but the first she will have been involved in preparing."

Responding to grumbles about the cost of Scotland Yard's probe and fresh claims it should be wound down, the Portuguese source insisted: "Nothing is going to be shelved.

"Co-operation right now between the British and the Portuguese police is at a moment of great synchronisation."

In May, Portugal's Attorney General's Office revealed: "Since August 2012, the Public Prosecution Service of Portimao has received five British requests for international cooperation in criminal matters, the last of which has been received on January 2015.

"Three of these requests have been already executed and their pieces of execution were returned to the requesting authorities. The execution of two of them is still pending.

The Prosecutor General's Office does not provide information on the content of the requests presented by the British authorities."

Oct 28, 2015

Police are to scale back the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, with the number of officers on the team cut from 29 to four.

The Metropolitan police said Operation Grange would now only focus on a “small number of focused lines of inquiry that have allowed them to reduce the size of the Home Office funded team”.

The four officers who remain on the team will continue to be led by DCI Nicola Wall, the current senior investigating officer, and sit within an existing major investigation team on the homicide and major crime command.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/oct/28/met-reduces-officers-madeleine-mccann-case-29-to-four

Apr 29, 2016

During a radio interview this week, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said he believed there was “one final lead” in the case.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/28/madeleine-mccann-abducted-during-botched-burglary/

Apr 26, 2017

London Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said investigators still hope they can provide answers to what happened.

"I know we have a significant line of inquiry which is worth pursuing,” he said. “Because it's worth pursuing it could provide an answer, but until we've gone through it I won't know whether we are going to get there or not."

"Ourselves and the Portuguese are doing a critical piece of work and we don't want to spoil it by putting titbits of information out publicly."

It makes sense if you take account of his previous words. He said something like 'she wasn't old enough to go off and start a new life'. In other words she didn't leave voluntarily, therefore she was abducted, which means;

the action of forcibly taking someone away against their will.

I suppose he could be allowing for her to have set off on her own with a destination in mind which didn't include starting a new life. As she didn't reach her destination she was abducted along the way. .

There are many things still to be investigated which involved the family or those associated with it and the Maddie Fund. I refer of course to the post disappearance debacle involving Oakley and Metodo 3.

But as I have proven that if she left by the front door the door would have been found unlocked, and there was no official report of the front door being unlocked. 
So "if she left by herself" you have to say by which portal she exited the apartment.

The Met have already established a window of opportunity for Madeleine to be taken, so that would duplicate their work.  After 11 years I think any memories that were going to be jogged have probably faded into the ether.

It would depend upon any forensics found on the body or clothing I would imagine.  I can't imagine a burglar  removing Madeleine's body from 5a and putting it in a bin of course.

Actually the opposite has happened to landfill material. Due to the lack of oxygen within the debris it decomposes more slowly than normal.  I have seen a documentary about it recently where newspapers buried in 1986 were still readable.

Actually the opposite has happened to landfill material. Due to the lack of oxygen within the debris it decomposes more slowly than normal.  I have seen a documentary about it recently where newspapers buried in 1986 were still readable.

No cite forthcoming from davel so I'll help out.
Landfill sites operate at 300C to 550C.
Bone needs about 15000C to be destroyed.
Collagen in bone starts to break down at about 2200C but the "bone" retains its shape.
Landfill sites produce methane which has an autocombust temp around 6000C.
Hmmm something don't hang together with original assertion.

An interesting article that explains that landfills almost mummify items as they decompose very, very, slowly.

Why would a landfill be any different from any other hole in the ground?
There was no trouble with Richard III in his car park.

I expect however there is some odd warp or other that makes Algarve landfill sites exceptions to any known rule.
It seems to be de rigeur.

While there is a chance of an abductor the finger can't be pointed at the McCanns, but if they found a body it comes back to someone that was there that night.  OK not only the McCanns but all the people there that night.

"A body that was discovered in a landfill in Pennsylvania nearly 50 years ago has been identified as a 13-year-old Pittsburgh girl who was last seen in 1967.

DNA tests show that the body, which had been exhumed from an unmarked grave from a cemetery potter's field last fall, is that of Teala Patricia Thompson, Pennsylvania State Police said Thursday."

So most of the time it was in a grave rather than a landfill.  At the landfill it might have only been on the surface and discovered quickly.

At work hand wash water was targeted to be 42 degrees.  If it ever got over 45 degrees it became uncomfortable 49 degrees is too hot you will pull yours hands out of the flow.  Whether 55 degree would denature DNA I'm not sure but I think you could cook meat at 55 degrees.

"Low-temperature cooking is a cooking technique using temperatures of 45 to 85 °C (113 to 185 °F) for a prolonged time to cook food. Low-temperature cooking methods include sous vide cooking, slow cooking using a slow cooker, cooking in a normal oven which has a minimal setting of 70 °C (158 °F), and using a combi steamer providing exact temperature control."

That may be so but it does not negate my comment.
The point goes back to davel's post where he stated, and I paraphrase but the sense does not change, "an enormous amount of heat is generated by landfill enough to destroy etc......"
My points were:
1) Landfill sites are run at 350C to 550C high temperatures ie 900 C and above damage the polymer membranes that are required [Refer EPA and DEFRA].
2) 550C is not enough to burn skin hence protective insulation for pipes carrying a hot medium is fitted at 600C. [Refer ASTM C1055 & BS5970].
3) Collagen requires a temperature of 2000C to break down.
4) Bone is destroyed at a temp of 15000C

Beyond those points speculate away but deal me out.

All of your slow cooler cooking involve water. There would be very little water in the landfill site. That is why landfill sites will mummify matter.  The water leaches out of a landfill site into the local groundwater.   If you watch this link below  will see what happens to things in a landfill.  Near the end (around 1hr 08mins) they excavate a 30 year old landfill and it is amazing what they find.

Sous-vide cooking
Sous-vide (/suːˈviːd/; French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 7 hours, up to 48 or more in some cases) at an accurately regulated temperature. The temperature is much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and to retain moisture.

The point I was originally making was that if flesh is exposed to temperatures of 55 degrees for long enough it will cook.
What I've discovered is that DNA is destroyed by higher temperatures.  It seems like the DNA testing could still be done on Sous Vide cooked meat cooked at temperatures below 70 degrees Celcius.

That the McCanns can get on with their lives.    Why - because they want them to be charged IMO.

That is interesting... care to name these sceptics or are you lobbing everyone into a box?

I couldn't care less what happens to them. I am more inclined to feel the same way about supporters... they never have had any debateand they have no comebacks to justify the 12 mil pounds. it must be disheartening that they pulled out the same as the PJ... not enough evidence to convict.

What does “follow the wheelie bin trail” mean and how would this help amass evidence against the McCanns, or are you just going to refuse to shed any further light on your thought processes as usual?
The wheelie bin trail would apply to anyone with access to a wheelie bin.  That is NOT McCann specific at all.

Who knows what any investigation costs?  The McCann one had a method of tracking it so you know a figure.

I want both the PJ and SY to stop investigating the case.

And the reply to my post from SIL tends to suggest that that is exactly what he meant, unless you can discern another meaning from this:

“The exercise would accurately assess the probability thereof”
That someone used the wheelie bin route.

Someone.

The sceptics must be pissed off with the current situation IMO.

Probably.  But there you go.

This thread is entitled “What routes are left to investigate re: The McCanns”, the post you chose to respond to furthermore asked the question again ie: it was on topic and McCann specific, your reply therefore could only be understood to be McCann specific as you did not make it clear you were posting in answer to a question that wasn’t asked.

Once again, this thread is about what avenues of investigation are left to the PJ with regard to building a case against the McCanns, not any old person.

There is no nice way of putting this so I will not try. Just gimme the points.
Sometimes you talk bollox and this is one of those times.

More projection.  Of course those who believe the McCann hid their child’s body want them charged, why on earth would they not?

In the context of the very specific thread topic it is my opinion that you have got it entirely wrong but it is also my opinion that disagreement should be expressed in a less offensive manner just by the simple expediency of making a case.

As Eleanor has noted ... we are a discussion forum.  Surely we can discuss and agree to differ within the confines of a topic as adults should and without rancour.

If only it were that simple.  But I have had enough.  This will be discussed politely, or not at all.  I am no longer prepared to put up with the insults from either side.

Off Topic is half acceptable to me.  But I will be deleting any nasty comments from anybody. from now on.  And I will no  longer be warning.

Do me a favour if you must.  Report me  to John, which we all know you do anyway, at the drop of a hat.

The simple answer would be to be polite.  It isn't that difficult.

Anyone asking for justice for Madeleine is wanting someone charged for some or rather crime, whether it was child neglect, or something more serious.  I understand the sceptics in general feel the McCanns are to blame.  OK I might be wrong,  but that is my understanding ATM.
