I never suggested victims should be identified, a brief statement of the British Consul or a PJ file or a statement of the LC would be sufficient to establish facts.
Nothing of that exists and this is a fact, not a myth.
You argue that it is a fact because Mrs McCann doesn't and can't lie. She had proved she could and even wrote it. Her unsupported story, spread, becomes a myth.
You better leave Mrs McCann spread alone stories that have by the way nothing to do with Madeleine. Remember the McCanns denied that Madeleine could have been harmed in bed as those British kids allegedly were.
I argue the fact that Kate McCann would not be so stupid as to make massively libellous claims in her book, by falsely attributing statements to other people which could easily be exposed by them as lies.
Anyone who thinks she would do that is seriously deluding themselves IMO - because it makes no sense to deliberately leave herself open to such easily provable instances of libel - and risk her book being dead in the water in record time once it was revealed that substantial parts of her book were downright lies - as well as the added risk of being sued for libel.
IMO The fact that the children of at least 8 British families were targetted by paedaphiles who entered their apartments whilst on holiday in the Algarve - all within a short driving distance of PdL is extremely pertinent to the McCann case.
A further quote from Kate's book:
I cast my mind back to what the British consul had told me in the police station in Portimao that first day about the reports there had been of intruders getting into bed with children. I needed to know more about this.
I got in touch with the retired British consul for the Algarve. He told me that he used to have regular monthly meetings with the British tour operators along the coast in Albufeira, at which crime was invariably one of the topics covered. At one of those meetings in August 2006 he had been informed by the tour operators of the spate of incidents I'd heard about the day after Madeleine was taken, in which an intruder had got into holiday apartments at night climbed into childrens's beds and subjected them to various forms and degrees of molestation. It seemed the attacker would often lock the door to the parents' bedroom before assaulting the child. In one case, the paedophile had put on some of the father's aftershave in an attempt to soothe or deceive the child.
It was believed that this offender (or offenders) watched for patterns and routines in a family's behaviour, established 'weaknesses' in the security of their apartments and determined in advance where the parents and children slept. Cold shivers ran down my spine as it hit home that this might have applied to us. The British tour operators had been keen for this information to remain confidential (and you don't have to be a genius to work out why that might be).

With regard to your last sentence Anne, the McCanns do not know what happened to their daughter, but until there is proof that she is dead, they will carry on searching for her. Just like Kerry Needham. I find it difficult to believe there are people who do not appear to have the ability to understand that.
