A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.

From day one I have never believed the child was abducted and always believed the McCanns know more than they are telling. Having studied in depth the PJ files, lies were told and there can be no reason for lies to be told unless there is something to hide. Never in our history has so much taxpayers' money and so much government involvement been invested in one missing child and that in itself is suspicious. Why this child and no other? However, the McCanns have made a mistake by pursuing Goncalo Amaral because this man will spend the rest of his life proving his theory. They have left him with nothing better to do and I believe he will uncover the truth.

Unless the poll is restricted to regular posters it may not give an accurate indication of the mix of views. Perhaps weight by number of posts, especially as it is the number of posts that affect the amount of moderation needed.

I look forward to reading Amaral's proof of his theory that Madeleine was disposed of by being hidden in the coffin of a dead stranger. 

The notion that innocence prevails over guilt – when there is no evidence to the contrary – is what separates civilization from barbarism.    Unfortunately, there are remains of barbarism among us.    Until very recently, it headed the PJ in Portimão. I hope he was the last one.

I believe Madeleine was abducted,   reading the files statements,  there is no timeline for disposal of a body.   There are bound to be inconsistencies  between the  memories of different individuals recalling the events of  that week.

The facts lie in the files,  the timeline is the most important thing.

Too many myths are being spread on line,  such as,  Madeleine's blood being found in the car,  there was no DNA found of Madeleine's in the apartment etc.  etc.  unfortunately people who do not read the files believe these myths.

There is also the 'leaving the children alone'   many just turn against the McCann's because of this and whether they are guilty or not of hiding Madeleine's body means nothing as they are fixed in their judgement of them.

No timeline ?

Really ?

Just your opinion.

If there was timeline for an abduction, there was timeline for other possibilities as well.

..and we know there is no evidence to show actually what happened.

if the parents are telling the truth as SY seem to think then on circumstantial evidence abduction can be proved on the balance of probabilities

Was that before, or after, being driven in the Renault Scenic?

I confess, I do lose track ....
