Report By Former Police Officer - Ian Horrocks - May 2017

[Holly Goodhead]

As usual I'm sure this has been covered previously but often useful to review.  I think the report contains some interesting points from a police officer with 30 years experience who is able and willing to share his views:

I see that Ian Horrocks is a consultant at BGP

Do we know who commissioned this report or was it just done out of the goodness of their hearts?

These experts are quite worrying in my opinion. How can a police officer with 30 years experience not examine the timeline?

"Anyone observing their routine would have known that they had at least 20 minutes between each check." he says.
Wrong!

He’s not wrong, there were at least 20 minutes during which the children were left unattended.  If you want to make out that there was almost always a member of the group i. close proximity to the children throughout the evening you will need to bin the “neglectful parents” angle.

Not between Gerry and Matt’s alleged first check.

I think it was produced when he was employed by the MET?

Which never happened according to you.

Please explain why he is wrong?  If we accept your timeline here:

it pertains to the Thu eve only.  For all we know any perp may have observed a pattern over Sun - Wed incl and decided to execute on the Thu eve.  He/she then struck lucky operating between the small windows of opportunity.

Hows about a timeline for Sun - Wed pleeeeeeze

But it’s part of the narrative...the narrative that Horrocks seems to be having trouble with.

Interesting he thinks MM might still be alive, although he acknowledges he's in the minority in this regard.

Does anyone here think MM might still be alive?  If so on what basis?

It would seem not . Further investigation shows -

"Ian Horrocks, a former chief inspector of the Met, was sent to PDL in Summer 2012 by The Sun in an attempt to discover what happened to Madeleine McCann. He produced a report, dated July 02 2012, which inspired various articles in the UK media."

Makes for interesting reading when taken in conjunction with Horrock's piece

2 sides of the coin.one might say

You've changed your tune. You couldn't fnd 20 minutes between checks in the group's timelime.

His report more or less mirrors what I believe happened.  In which case Madeleine is living within a family, although probably the only child.

I haven't got a timeline from Sun-Wed, but neither has anyone else. Therefore whatever you (or Horrocks) think the timelines were on those evenings has no evidence to support it.
