If any of the 'facts gathered' were 'valid' the McCanns would have been arrested and charged. There was no evidence whatsoever to support this 'theory'. And the AG's Final report very clearly overruled the flawed Interim report.
If you agree with the 'accident' theory - then feel free to tell us how it was done.
Once again let us see the summary of the JUDGES in the book/libel trial:
What is certain is that since the start of the investigation, there were incongruent and even contradictory situations concerning the witness statements, the telephone records of calls that were made and received on mobile phones that belonged to the couple and to the group of friends that were on holidays with them, the movements of people immediately after the disappearance of the little girl was noticed, concerning the state in which the bedroom from where the child disappeared from was found (closed window? open window? partially open window?), etc., and the mystery would only become even thicker due to the clues that were left by the aforementioned sniffer dogs."
"Where Amaral differs from the Prosecutors who wrote the dispatch, is in the logical, police-work-related and investigative interpretation that he [Amaral] makes of those facts."
"We need, to stress the following: the facts that led to the applicants' constitution as arguidos within the inquiry were later on not sufficiently valued by the Public Ministry's Prosecutors to lead to a criminal accusation, but those very same facts, seen from a different angle, may lead to a different conclusion from that of the prosecutors."
I have stated on here before i do not have all the facts with which to come up with a definitive account of how an accident occured and was subsequently covered up.
That is because the investigation was incomplete at the point of archiving and if i was an investigator on the case my next step would have been to carry out the reconstruction as well, to test the timings and theories of the statements.
What i do know is that the dogs alerted to something ONLY in the McCann's apartment and possessions and nowhere else. If you extrapolate the probability of error correctly on each alert, and on each alert being only related to the Mccann's the chances of false alert probability are slim to none in my view.
So we have uncorrobarated dog alerts (which we saw in the case in the Prout case as well by the way, with the same dogs), we have, as the judges say, incogurant and contradictory statements from the witnesses and last people to see Madeleine alive and well.
We have DNA form ther which whilst inconclusive were never ruled out as not coming from Madeleine.
The chances of coincidence of the alerts coupled with DNA material which could not be ruled out as Madeleine in an apartment where Madeleine was last seen is too high for me personally, and for the PJ as well.
We have strange telephone and creche records.
We have an unconvincing sighting by Jane Tanner.
We have a sighiting identifying clothes we know Gerry had an ID of Gerry by one of the witnesses to 60-80% certainty.
We have a window of abduction of less than two minutes (according to the statements) and no evidence of break in.
So we have at the point of archving a number of factors, based on the released files that I have seen, which warrant further investigation.
