What has Redwood achieved in the Mccann case ?

[faithlilly]

Pink on white, not pink on blue. + frills, not horrid orange turn ups.



I think there is plenty of hope for Tannerman still being in the equation

Are SY wrongs then  sadie to eliminate him and couldn't that also be true of the McCanns ?

She couldn't remember the colour of the turn ups but it was different to the rest just like in the photo.

4078    “And when you noticed the detail was it in any colour?”
Reply    “I don’t, I didn’t know, I thought there was sort of a pink flowery bit on, bit on it, but, no, I mean, the actual frill itself or turn-up, as I thought it was, I couldn’t think of the colour, but I thought there was pink sort of flowery and sort of like liney bits on the bottom, so”.
 
4078    “And, overall, what colour would you say the pyjama bottoms were?”
Reply    “Erm, I can’t, I can’t remember, I mean, I, I can’t remember, well I can’t remember now, but I think they were sort of whitey but with this, with this pattern on, but then some pink.  That’s, that’s what I thought at the time.  It’s harder because now I know what the pyjamas were so I can’t”.



(**) About the child whom appeared to be sleeping, she only saw her legs. The child appeared to be older than a baby. She was barefoot and was wearing what appeared to be cotton pyjamas of a light colour (possibly white or light pink). She is not certain, but has the impression a design on the pyjamas, possibly a floral pattern, but she is not certain. (4 May 2007)

SY dont have to tell us why.

The Mccanns are as innocent as the driven snow.  Soz Faith but you have got it wrong about Kate and Gerry.

Now that sadie is a classic.

Unbelievable, but reflects your awareness of the real world.

When someone disappears the last people to see them are automatically suspected and have to be eliminated. The McCanns have not been eliminated. They may be innocent.

The assistant chief constable for Leicestershire police gave this written statement: (in Kate’s words...page 316 of her book): “While one or both of them may be innocent there is no clear evidence that eliminates them from involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.”

That was not a general statement it was said in the context of the McCann's request for information.

They were still arguidos then - so even if the asst. chief constable was sure they were innocent - he would not  have said or done anything to disrespect the PJ's decision to make them arguidos.   It would have caused a diplomatic incident IMO.     

However, I do think the McCanns were naieve to expect the release of information to them while they were still Arguidos.    IMO It was obvious the PJ would object and the Leic. police would have to respect their views - as the PJ did have primacy of the case.

IMO the statement was given with the Arguido status in mind.

Does anyone know how this officer's career has progressed since that unhelpful statement ?

Funny thing is the opinion of Portugal's Attorney General never really gets discussed much; perhaps that's because it was unequivocal.

In what context was it said? Does it form part of the official documentation?
Put it up for us in full then we can have a learned discussion. It might make a change.

I assume that quote from Kate's book would be acceptable as a signature.

If you remember, they were still arguidos at that point.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood admitted that what they have uncovered means Madeleine might not have left the apartment alive.



DCI Andy Redwood said the sighting was crucial. ‘This could be the man that took Madeleine.’

"He did not hold the child in a comfortable position." (Martin Smith)

"The individual's gait was normal, between a fast walk and a run." (Aoife Smith)

"She had blonde hair, of medium shade, not very light. Her skin was white, typically British. He did not notice her eyes as she was asleep, having closed eyelids." (Peter Smith)

"She was sleeping deeply." (Peter Smth)

"Questioned, says that the individual did not speak nor did the child as she was in a deep sleep." (Martin Smith)



Eddie and Keela, found the body of pensioner Attracta Harron in a shallow grave and found her blood in a burnt out car, five months after her murder.

I have seen no evidence which eliminates them of involvement in the disappearance. I have seen no reference to any such evidence either. I have seen a statement by DCI Redwood saying they were not suspects or persons of interest in his investigation. That makes sense as his remit was to investigate an abduction.
