Cuddlecat and those claimed alerts.

[mercury]

John and even Angelo (IIRC) agree that the so called alert to Cuddle cat was NOT to cuddlecat.

Perhaps SY agree with us because they dont seem to be interested in The Mccanns as suspects, do they?

LOL

So now the proof is john and angelo who have only given their opinions, never pretendng to be experts, but you use them as evidence whilst trashng their opinions n other issues, tryharder sadie

As for sy you have NO CLUE what they thnk, none at all

As you say i dont know where they are at the moment, but they have acted twice on things that I have pointed out to them.

That I do know.

Such as Sadie?  I do hope you aren't wasting DCI Walls time with Moroccan or Belgian fantasies?

As for Cuddlecat, the entire thing was a fiasco imo.

I thought the cuddle cat may help to solve the case so why do you call it a fiasco?

Because it was, Robittybob1.  From start to finish, fiasco is an apt description.

For cuddle cat to have had any significance as far as the investigation went ... it should have been put into an evidence bag as soon as the police had photographed the scene.

That part I do agree with.

Yes and the Princess blanket too.  If there was an intruder the chances are he touched both items or may have shed hair or skin cells onto them.  The first law of good policing was broken from the moment of first contact.

In defence of the police however, Luz being such a quiet peaceful resort with no history of abductions or kidnappings, I think they were sold on the woke and wandered theory from the start and never really accepted that stranger abduction could happen.  I also think that this was in part attributable to the nearby Cipriano case which also started out as a missing child case but morphed eventually into a domestic violence killing and then a domestic abduction/murder.

Conceivably, cuddle-cat (forensically examined, long before the British arrived, and yes, I do rate the Portuguese forensic laboratory, so the opportunity was there) might have yielded vital clues.

But the opportunity (to have the toy forensically examined) was missed by the PJ, and its sole (if important!) role thereafter was as a comfort and a prop for Kate.

It might have done so nine years ago had it been treated as evidence instead of being passed around like Fido's favourite toy.

The words Cuddle Cat and fiasco come to mind.

We never completed the purchase.  Once I asked who owned it previously, I never heard back.

Oh, right, I misinterpreted your post "the cat is out of the bag". What did you mean?
