Where is Brietta?

The Met had the entire PJ files properly translated so that they could throw the whole lot in the bin unread presumably

The Portuguese investigated they were happy with that.

The Portuguese, who couldn't rule them out. So you're saying SY were able to rule out the McCanns, because the Portuguese didn't. Have you ever listened to yourself at all?

Well, is there any evidence Scotland Yard investigated the McCanns? Interviewed them? No there isn't. In fact, the head of the MET admitted they didn't.

The very same files that WUMs and trolls and Conspiracy Theorists base their McCanns Dunnit theories on have been properly translated, read and scrutinized for follow up leads but apparently despite the fact that Met read all about the buttons and the PJs and the nipple twiddling they couldn?t immediately go and arrest the McCanns because David Cameron told them not to.  So that?s why they had to invent a stranger abductor.  Stands to reason when you think about it.

I knew there'd be another desperate appeal to authority today. Too too predictable.

Yes, silly me for thinking that the Met would be able to read the same files as the troll and come to a different conclusion about what happened to Madeleine.  Obviously if they had read the files they could only have come to one conclusion and that is that The McCanns dunnit.  This proves that despite claiming they translated and analysed all 35000 pages, the Met obviously lied. and just spent all 13 years and ?14 million on playing golf and stuff instead.

Quick question VS. Is there any evidence at all that Mr Coincidental trousers & his wife have been interviewed by the MET since the start of Operation Grange? Is there any evidence that they have been interviewed by Hans Wolters?
I can't find any. No times or dates. Nothing.

They were ruled out it was Amaral who wrote a book saying the McCann's were guilty.  He was dismissed probably because he was making things up.

It wasn't just him though was it. It was the opinion of the senior detectives working on the case including whats his name Tavares Almeida, I think.

If the questioning of the parents and their friends was as tardy and incompetent as some suggest here surely it would have been imperative on SY to question them again properly?

What do you expect they could have added beyond what they told the police in their witness statements and rogatories that would have taken the case any further forward?  Do you imagine they would have caved in under the pressure of having to revisit it all over again? That said, if the Met police had questioned them about some of the strange anomalies that appeared in their non-verbatim twice translated statements giving the a chance to clarifyand correct any mistakes would you have believed a word?  Doubtful!

The parents didn't take part in the rogatories and Kate didn't answer 42 of her arguido questions.

Flattered as I am to live rent free in your head I'm sure SY wouldn't have cared what I thought of the parent's answers and if there was anomalies in the statements taken by the Portuguese police surely it would have been  prudent for SY to requestion them?

What a very odd response.  If you were living rent free in my head I?d be calling for you to be evicted pdq.  Also I didn?t claim that SY would care what you thought, another odd remark.  None of the anomalies I?m referring to are particularly significant and I expect that if any were, a quick phone call or catch up meeting would soon iron them out, or are you claiming to know that the Met have never discussed any elements of the case with the McCanns in 13 years?

You said

'That said, if the Met police had questioned them about some of the strange anomalies that appeared in their non-verbatim twice translated statements giving the a chance to clarifyand correct any mistakes would you have believed a word?  Doubtful!'

It makes not one jot to the discussion, or to SY, what I think.

If you think that SY would informally discuss anomalies that appeared in the parents statements about Madeleine's disappearance then you are truly ignorant of how police investigations work.


The parents were never questioned about those anomalies as they were never investigated, a disgraceful dereliction of their duty towards a missing child.

I know what I said Faithlilly, I wrote it.  Nowhere did I make the claim that anyone would give a shit what you thought , only that you probably would  find some spurious reasons to keep on doubting the veracity of anything they corrected - comprehension is not your strong point is it.
If you claim to know for a fact that the Met have never discussed any elements of the case with the McCanns then clearly you have insider information on Operation Grange which a mere mortal like me is not privy to.  I bow as always to your superiority.
