Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[Mr Gray]

Simple question.

If the book is so good why are the sales so poor. ?


and I have no intention of paying for such a waste of money and time.

because most of the people who are interested in the case know pretty well everything about the case and would learn nothing new from the book...as I predicted before the book was published

Mercy me my dears my old friend Old Mother Shipton strikes again with her amazingly accurate forecasts.

Do you really think dave, that you were the only one who 'predicted' that ?

 

[Mr Gray]

We have confirmation from the authors that at the meeting with Redwood they were advised..

At Scotland Yard, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood met with us at the outset, spoke frankly, but made it clear that he and his colleagues could not favour us – or any part of the media community – over any other parties.

No mention of this in the so called document...looks like a fake...but doubters are easily fooled

Just rehashed material going nowhere,just like the investigation.

A certain irony in that.

The question is..how long will the Portuguese be able to stall the SY investigation before they get a kick up the arse from the uk government..

I will remind you of this when the UK govt intervene to stop the Portuguese judiciary blocking the SY investigation

That we should both live that long Davel !!

[faithlilly]

A half truth is the most cowardly of lies.

A flavour of the dishonesty that runs through Summers book.

About the reconstruction.

'So it went. As the objections continued, ( of The Paynes, Oldfields et al ) the planned date for the reconstruction was put off. When the request changed, as the Paynes put it, 'from informal and friendly to a formal summons', some of those involved sought legal advice. On May 27th word came that the Portuguese prosecutor's office had given up on the notion of a re-enactment after all.'

What the author fails to mention is that by the 22nd of May all the friends of the McCanns had declined to take part in the reconstruction knowing that if they didn't all attend it wouldn't go ahead. The prosecutor's office had no choice but to give up on the diligence.

[faithlilly]

So what do you call suggesting that it was the prosecutor's office who arbitrarily decided not to go ahead with the reconstruction ? What do you call not mentioning that the McCann's friends refused to go back to Portugal and therefore the reconstruction couldn't take place.

It's either ............... or a piece of very bad research. What one do you think it is ?

What Faithlilly is doing with Summers and Swan is the same as she has spent 7 years doing to the McCanns and their friends, ie scouring statements, interviews and books for any slight inconsistency or minor error to use as evidence of deceit.  What she cannot explain in this instance is why these authors would deliberately leave out  a minor and not-very-important detail in the narrative regarding the reconstruction.  It would have made little difference to the overall conclusion of the book if they had made it crystal clear the sequence of events leading up to the dropping of the reconstruction.  However, Faithlilly obviously thinks it a very serious omission so I would advise her to write back to the authors with whom she has corresponded before to ask them.

Cobblers.

The book is nothing new.

Made with the permission of the mccanns, and all apart of a PR exercise, to say what nice parents and people they are.

Unlike 'cuddlecat', that will bever wash.

People have seen through the ACT.

Strange idea of a minor and not-very-important detail.

Strange idea of a minor and not-very-important detail.

Explain why it is such an important detail then.
