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

[VIXTE]

And after finally seen it all I wanted to add two things:
1. Poor poor guy from Metodo 3. He must have seen lots of awful stuff. I feel for him. He has the same face expression as Kate McCann. I thought he probably worked close to her  when doing some of his delicate investigations. His boss doesn't seem affected at all, I hope Brian Kennedy at least paid the detective if he did not get paid.
2. Re Brian Kennedy, what a wonderful person. And what a nice son he brought up. If you ask me, Brian Kennedy should be a prime minister

But what a bad judge of character. Two absolute chancers pulled the wool firmly over his eyes and the sighting he thought would crack the case has been ruled out by OG.

I wonder if I should offer him this bridge I have to sell

I wonder if he had any other choice!
And another thing. When you look at this case from this new perspective you realise that Portuguese police from a small town had absolutely no chance of solving this case. The approach from the day one should have been a high tech and they did not have this equipment and work force.

I see Summers and wife are now flogging their wares under the banner ‘as seen on Netflix’.

Is there no depth this pair will not stoop to to make a few bob ?

Let’s hope Robbyn (who is apparently a member of this forum) sees your post and responds.

People who are gullible and easily conned don’t tend to become successful millionaire business men or women, IMO.

The moral to this tale is then if you’re going to leave your children alone and vulnerable, do it in a big city.

If he wasn't conned he must have hired them deliberately.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Of course he hired them deliberately and of course he was conned, by Halligen at least.  If you are the victim of a skillful con artist does that necessarily make you naive, gullible and a bad judge of character?  Or does it mean that the con artist was just very good at conning people?  Nuance dear, nuance.  Not everything is black and white.

Due diligence dear, due diligence. It's the difference between those who hire the first builder they speak to (and get conned) and those who get three quotes and speak to the builder's previous customers (and get a good result).

I suppose you can't be too fussy when the job involves breaking the law in Portugal, although to be fair they did tell the PJ what they were up to; well, to a certain extent. 

In February 2008 when ex policeman Antonio Jimenez was arrested on suspicion of helping criminals who stole £25 million of cocaine his links with Metodo 3 and the McCann case were mentioned.

Francisco Marco, the head of Metodo 3 denied Spanish television reports that Jiminez, 53, had worked for Metodo 3 for three years.

Clarence Mitchell agreed;

 "He is nothing to do with us. He collaborated with Metodo 3 on a project, but that was two years before the company was hired to find Madeleine.

"We still have faith in the work of Metodo 3"

Perhaps Brian Kennedy didn't tell the McCanns that he'd been to see the PJ with Jimenez just three months earlier;

 a meeting was held, in this department, with Brian Kennedy, the director of the detective company, Francisco Marco and an advisor of this same company, Antonio Jimenez, ex-chief of the Kidnapping Unit of Catalan.

I think Jimenez was aquitted of the charges; what a sheme his former associates were so quick to deny any  connection with him.

Sorry I’m not quite sure what you are suggesting vis-a-vis Brian Kennedy, perhaps you could explain more clearly what you believe his failings are as a benefactor and businessman.

So what?

How was he supposed to know?

[faithlilly]

So what?

Exchange Summers for Amaral and act so blasé.

[Vertigo Swirl]

So what?

Faithlilly would have you believe that S & S are responsible for all the marketing of their book on their tods, and that any mention of Netflix is nothing whatsoever to do with the marketing department at Headline Books.  Faithlily also seems to believe that promoting your book in any way shape or form is Satan’s work, unless you’re Amaral of course.

The more I learn about Metodo 3 the less I understand why anyone would hire them.

As the alleged ex head of the Kidnapping Unit of Catalan was Jimenez their selling point?
