Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[Angelo222]

Why do you think Summers and Swan are of the view that Madeleine was abducted?

This book is a one trick pony for me but have to take your leave for the moment.

[Mr Gray]

Tell me Alfred do you think the authors would have been able to sell a book in this country which suggested complicity by the McCanns in Madeleine's disappearance ?

If they had phrased things carefully they certainly would...they would not be able to tell lies and misrepresent the evidence which is what happens on many web sites

A brief reminder, the nature of the crime is unknown.

Options are therefore open.

[Miss Taken Identity]

Why did they not analyze the accidental death scenario in any quantitative way ?

IMO..

... because they wrongly thought a sea of people were sympathetic to the parents and the abduction story....IF they had a theory of their own and wrote about it- it would worth reading and pondering.

As I Mentioned: band wagon and jumping on it come to mind with these two.

don't need a reminder...they would have to be careful saying anything that wasn't true. They could not say that the dog's alerted to cadaver odour because that has not been confirmed.

[Angelo222]

Oh just remembered before I go, Summers and Swan make no reference to the McCanns losing the libel case on appeal or the fact that they are seeking damages in a trial which is still ongoing.

They dismissed the dogs.

Now since the result of the forensic examinations were inconclusive, it has never discounted that Madeleine died in the apartment. Has it ?

and let's not forget, there's absolutely nothing to prove an abduction at all, but a pair of amateur detectives are quite happy to fall into the mccann line there. &%+((£

Now you are showing your ignorance... the libel case has not been decided...

How can you seek damages after losing a libel case?

[Alfred R Jones]

Well according to you they've only sold 25 books supporting the abduction theory.  If they'd written a scurrilous anti-McCann diatribe full of swinging allegations and Gaspar statement etc they could have sold thousands worldwide, if not in this country.  America would have lapped it up as would Portugal.

Now that's funny, because not that long ago, you were saying it was.

Or has that slipped from your memory ?

[Alfred R Jones]

Now you tell me Faithlilly, is it inconceivable in your view that 2 intelligent people after doing extensive research on the case would come to the view that the McCanns played no part in their child's disappearance?

Have another try Alfred. You never know you might even manage to answer my original question.

If you want to make money from Madeleine's disappearance in this country you have to toe the McCann party line.  The authors being intelligent people would know that.

[Alfred R Jones]

If you re-read what I wrote you will see that I did answer your question.  And as you swerve all my more taxing questions you really have some nerve!
