Is It Possible For A Non Professional Investigator To Solve The Case?

[Mr Gray]

No because to do so I would have to reveal too much.

You have people who you identify as suspects.... You have not solved the case... Until those people, are convicted the case is not solved

[Vertigo Swirl]

Nothing relies on 100% proof, even a full life tariff.  At the end of a trial a defendant is either found not guilty or guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

And do you have any reasonable doubt about your beliefs?

[Holly Goodhead]

How very convenient.

Not for you.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Not for you.

Of course not for me, convenient for you, in that you are able to make ludicrous claims that cannot be tested or debated.  We just have to accept that you have solved the case or shut up.

You don't have to accept anything and I'm sure nothing I say, or don't say, will make you or anyone else here 'shut up'!

You announce to the world that you have solved the case after six weeks of studying it and then shut down any attempt to discuss it further. If your efforts were so important and serious and secrecy absolutely paramount you should have kept quiet about it.

This is the second example on here of what I think of as a 'secret squirrel' theory. These theories can be criticised but not debunked because those proposing them claim to know more, but refuse to share their knowledge. Both theorists claim to have contacted OG, but don't offer any evidence that they have done that.

In my opinion both theorists enjoy the attention they get by being mysterious.

I agree, but some people just can't help themselves

If in doubt, throw in the odd insult.

You could, of course, let sleeping dogs lie, but that does not seem to be in your repertoire.

ZZZ!  ZZZ!  ZZZ!

Fair enough she has presented her theory.  Now it is up to MPS/PJ to investigate.

Or not as the case may be.

[Angelo222]

No personal attacks please.

[Robittybob1]

Or not as the case may be.

I think any theory is worth looking at.

[Angelo222]

Remembering of course that there are no-go areas in this investigation.

IMO the truth of what happened to Maddie is contained within the threads of this forum, the question is which ones.

[barrier]

I think any theory is worth looking at.

If I were to write in and say John Doe from Ecclefechan is holding Madeleine as a housekeeper,do you think OG would investigate or dismiss it for what it is.

Apologies if there is indeed a John Doe residing up in Ecclefechan.
