Were the advisers all that they were made out to be?

It's the same old rubbish.

Blame Amaral for everything.

yes why DO people need scapegoats

Well we know the answer to that one, don't we.

Oh yes

Well we know the answer to that one, don't we.

You do? Then please share it with us. If you have proof and know who took that child out of the apartment, I would love to know, as would others, but not a scapegoat for an unsolved crime, please.

I agree, people should not be made scapegoats for a crime that is indetermined by the
Portuguese authorities

Well it's not going to be so easy to blame Scotland Yard, with whom there appears to be some sort of minor rift.

It will be an interesting comparison case.

What  ???

[Silkywhiskers]

My understanding that they were advised to put out every defining feature they could think of .... and afterwards the PJ/ Amaral complained.  Cant think why?  They did want her found, did they?


For the first 4 months, I am unaware of anything but blind obedience to the PJ and Amaral.

They even accepted the lies put about by people who should have known better, saying that they were well over 100 metres away.  Kate in her anxiety to be totally honest even used that distance in her book   
I had been aware that it was only 50 metres, Tapas restaurant to,5A, for a good year before others seemed to catch on.  I even had to tell people how to measure it on Google earth.

That put paid to the lies and distortions about the distance they were away.

Did d you measure how the crow flies, or step it out?

Don't forget the extra 20 metres they all added by inexplicably going the Long Way, through the front door.

Good point

The McCanns have directly questioned Redwood  of the Yard's  'moment of revelation' 

What does that mean  ?  ...  that the McCanns have no faith in Scotland Yard's investigation  ?  ... that they are undermining it ?  ...  that they are  (  as they did with the Portuguese police  )  running a  parallel investigation of their own  ?  ...  that Scotland Yard,  like the Portuguese police before them,  are  being 'unhelpful'  to the  McCanns  ?   

It is,  as you say,  interesting

Time is running out.

The McCann can either stay silent, or speak out.

They've allegedly spoken out, and what they are apparently saying is a repeat of what they've always said.

The Investigators are rubbish.

Now you could ask yourself what YOU would say if all of your lies were about to be revealed...the investigation is going well?

Hardly.

You would continue with the tactic previously proven to be successful - denigrate everyone who comes near the truth.

Keeping Tannerman and going against SY is simple - no.1 priority is survival and saving their own ass.

Well,  whatever their motives,  this desperation to hold on to  Tannerman,  to the point of openly questioning Scotland Yard's  investigative conclusions,  is certainly odd

Who will notice this and wonder ?
People seem to start being saturated. Will public opinion oscillate and all of a sudden be capable to hear heterodox information, one that always existed but wasn't as attractive as the abduction from bed phenomenon, nor looked for because human decency, on such issue as the disappearance of a child, prohibited suspicion ?

Not while the British media are shoving the 3burglars/managers/cleaners down our throats.

The British public have shown they're still stuck in the early 20th century, when Nice White Professionals were beyond reproach, Doctors were the local Authority on Everything, and child abuse was something only the poors did.

They have a bovine like resistance to upsetting the social applecart, hence, the McCann's are Honest Members of the Establishment and always will be until they're proven  otherwise, per Lord Lucan.
