Vila do Bispo in West Portugal becomes a place of interest for the second time.

[Billy Whizz Fan Club]

Does anyone think they need to?

No he doesn’t need to. I was just curious if he had offered a reason for the detour. After all he was often accounting for all sorts in his blog like which shirt he was wearing and what he was doing on certain days.

Full text from the PJ files.

The newspapers Correio da Manha 24Horas and Diraio de Noticias being consulted on 23 and 24 July, it was found that Gerald travelled alone on this occasion to Washington, USA.

The return to Portugal occurred on 26th. The first activation happened at 16:41:06 on the antenna "Faro Airport". One minute and twenty seconds later the same antenna came to be activated, being followed by the antennae: "Pedra de ?ua"; "Boliqueime"; "Vila do Bispo"; "Budens" and "Praia da Luz" at 17:31:23, 17:32:27, 19:05:21, 19:10:35 and 19:49:38, respectively.

Kate went to the airport to meet her husband.

Given the [above] records it would seem that Gerald McCann will not have gone directly to the village where he resided while he was in our country, having gone to Vila do Bispo, only then he returned to the referred village at, or before 19:49:38.

According to thi link, they made a number of visits around that time.

"Apart from one family outing in June they had never before visited that area and did not visit it after this cluster on 19th, 26th, 27th, 28th July, 1st, 2nd August."

Perhaps there were spectacular sea views

23 July 2007
Insp Paiva told the hearing in Lisbon: “Kate called me, she was alone as Gerry was away and she was crying.
“She said she had dreamt that Madeleine was on a hill and that we should search for her there.”

It might have been in kmc book.

Which had nothing really about maddie all though it was the title.

Just seemed IMO it was written to tie up loose ends.

Don't start another conspiracy.

Excuse ....me.. since when has not believing the abduction theory been a conspiracy.

Were they aware that Harrison was planning to arrive shortly? I tried to read Gerry’s blog but could only find a version of it with only some days highlighted. It doesn’t help that I’m just looking on a phone!!

A formal request for Harrison's services by Encarnacao was made on 20th July. He submitted a report on 23rd of July, so he was working there before 26th July when Vila do Bospo/Budens began to feature in the phone pings.

In view of the current well searching in that area, is there any evidence of Brueckner's phone pinging  there during May/June ?

The Mail has mention of a tip off about his van in the area, which doesn't sound very conclusive.

I talk a load of rubbish on my Blog sometimes.

By jove, I've got it. He went to Lidl straight from the airport to stock up on his  bottle of favourite New Zealand white. Obvious really.

[Vertigo Swirl]

If people aren't suggesting something nefarious then why the sudden interest in the McCanns movements aroung VdB since the latest announcement of well searches for Madeleine's body?  Perhaps you can explain that to me, being as how you're the smart one around here.

Yes, certainly more likely than disposing of a body en route back from the airport, don't you think?

OK, what are we saying now?
I give him the same courtesy I give CB; if he was about to commit a nefarious act he'd at least had the sense to turn his phone off. I don't think either of them are that stupid.
He probably was going to Lidl. Seriously.

[Eleanor]

  I've changed nothing, simply pointing out what's going on here, as if it needed pointing out of course.  The sly inferences, quite nauseating but so predictable sadly.

Quite a few of us saw that coming.  The McCanns have got no chance of passing the buck and getting away with this.

Get away with what? Passing what buck?
