Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Unless a cite was provided that was just an opinion.

Try to understand my opinion of that Forum. I find it a useful source of cites and that's all. I have no interest in it's member's opinions or theories.

Keep on playing “cite” games, I really don’t care.  Using my own common sense I can see no reason why either Peter Mac or Jill Havern would lie about Ammaral not having access to his book money, and would expect them to crow from the rafters when he does finally get his hands on his ill gotten gains.  From this I can deduce that there is still some outstanding legal matter as far as Amaral is concerned that has not yet been resolved.  I don’t require further comment from you on this matter, so please don’t trouble yourself.

My, my you are touchy.

I think you’re being disingenuous by suggesting that you don’t know who suspects Gamble of being an ogre but we’ll move on.

I found Gamble very amenable when I met him. He had a good sense of humour and I found him very approachable. His obvious distress, however, at the suffering of children means he is open to having those emotions manipulated. By whom is irrelevant.

Is that a fact?  You seem to be calling into question Mr Gamble’s professionalism.  Now why would that be I wonder...?

[Vertigo Swirl]

As far as I know they have np opnion themselves about the case , so that's not the reason. It was just the way he came across.

Funny that.  I watched it with my daughter who believes the McCanns are hiding something and she thought he was vile and shifty.  Her words.

[Erngath]

So do you agre that someone should be put in prison before being tried ?

I was going to ignore your ridiculous post but have now decided to acknowledge how utterly ridiculous it is.!!

He was also very restrained in comparison to what I have seen of his performances on Portuguese TV.  Also missing was the cohort of like minded pals usually surrounding and supporting him on those occasions with the exception only of the stalwart Cristovao.  Oh dear!  Speaks volumes.

I agree with your grandson.  What Amaral was doing in charge of the case is beyond my comprehension.

He volunteered you know, when he was supposed to go on holiday the next day.  Sofia was not at all impressed.

Was that him? I thought it was another officer who cancelled his leave which was due to begin the next day.

The ECHR will look at the law, and take nothing into account apart from the law.. That's the way it works.
The ECHR will simply look at the balance between articles 10 and 8 and having looked at last cases the mccanns will win... The mccanns di not have to show innocence... The revelation that the PJ didn't bother to read the whole if the FSS report is further evidence that amarals claims are not based in evidence

Amaral's theories are merely that, theories.  But theories based on facts. He is entitled to his opinion about the disappearance just as we are.

He did acknowledge the whole " praying Arabs" scenario was in his words "exaggerated", so perhaps that myth can be laid to rest.

Can you accept that  as the leading detective at the time of Madeleine's disappearance, his "theory" might just have more impact than any of ours??

[Angelo222]

I've finished watching all the episodes.
My over riding feeling at the moment is one of utter sadness.
The only comment for now is one of huge admiration for Jim Gamble for his sincerity, compassion and dedication.
His trying to control his emotions when describing how an abused child had been traced and found was most upsetting.

Strange that Gamble being a seasoned former cop was ok with taking part in the documentary yet the McCanns refused citing that it would interfere with an ongoing police investigation. Maybe the fee was too good to refuse?

Not ridiculous at all. Amaral was made an arguido on the day Madeleine disappeared. I fail to see how you put someone in prison before they are charged with anything.

Rather selective in what you believe. Are you saying Amaral is to be believed now ?

[Angelo222]

Impressed by amaral... How could anyone be impressed by amaral

Impressed is an understatement.  He took the McCanns on at their own game and won.

I have no idea of when he is telling the truth or lying.
