What's The Significance, If Any?

DCI Mark Cranwell didn't come over well in his appeal/interview with Martin Brunt imo.

You would hope so but if it wasn't done until OG kicked in unlikely such data still existed.

I would have thought car rental agencies kept records going back some years, but what do I know.

Sorry but what has this got to do with the link to the news report from early May 2007 of a couple who saw a dark coloured saloon style car parked close to the supermarket and spot where Madeleine's trail went cold as far as the sniffer dogs were concerned?

Bumping in the hope of a response from Holly.

The assumption that the police should be publishing all the information they hold about an active case on the internet reduces me to paroxysms of laughter.

The public appeals 13 years after the event make me hoot.  The Met has received millions of tax payers' money to investigate and then turns to the public on a fishing expedition.

I must have misunderstood I thought you were doubting my claim that you referred to my theory as a fantasy.  Or that was my interpretation anyway.

We're talking 6 years by the time MET started to investigate.

We discussed the article you uploaded fairly recently.  Potentially very relevant imo.

it kind of flies in the face of your earlier observation that no witnesses had come forward with a sighting of one of these distinctive vehicles.  Surely a dark coloured saloon is a potential match for the Jag?

How many years before hire companies destroy their records then?  I have records for my business going back to when I started it over seven years ago for example.

The clue was in the bit where I stipulated “a propos of the link I posted”.

Clueless!

I don't see why records would be retained linking hirers to vehicles 6 years down the road?  6 years assumes OG were on to it straight away.

I think a Brit would refer to such a vehicle as a Jag.

Companies can keep records as long as they wish. I worked for a multi-national oil company and their records went back to when they arrived in the UK in the 1980's to gather North Sea oil. All stored with an archive company at great expense.

Legally financial records should be kept for 6 years in the UK as HMRC can investigate up to 6 years ago. But. If they find a discrepancy within those 6 years resulting in an underpayment of tax they can assume the same discrepancy existed previously and demand the back tax they assume you owe. If you've destroyed your records you can't prove they're wrong.

Hire co's will obviously keep records for a period of time to pursue fines for traffic violations but they will also need to be mindful of data protection ie personal data caputured at point of hire.  There's maintaining records on hire vehicles and maintaining details of hirer and then linking the two.  No reason for hire company to retain the last two indef.  Hire co's usually have a high turnover of vehicles due to high mileage.
