There is not a shred of evidence to back that up.

The efits were in the possession of British and Portuguese police for several years and they chose the moment to release them publicly.

Almost certainly because the context of a live and on-going police enquiry was necessary to release them

Rubbish.

On whose behalf were the e-fits made. ?

Just remind us.

No evidence? It was the McCanns own investigation team that produced them. They are the source of the efits.

There was a breakdown of trust and termination of a contract.

Where is the evidence of when the McCanns were in possession of the efits?

When the contract with Oakley International broke down, how did matters progress?

That is easy to find out. The yard only have to ask their investigators that question.

Easy for certain people to find out, no doubt.

Either way the question is irrelevant, unless you are seriously suggesting that the McCanns should have gainsaid the police by releasing efits also in the police's possession that they (British and Portuguese) chose not to release.

There is also the question of when Martin Smith raised the efit. 

After the end of January 2008, beyond doubt, and almost certainly after the first enquiry was shelved (August 2008) and Martin Smith realised he had been wrong to suppose the man was Gerry.

and correct me if I'm wrong, with evidence of course, that the mccanns weren't given the e-fits.

You produce the evidence that the McCanns were given the efits, together with an explanation of why, if they were, they should have gainsaid the police when the police also had them, but chose to wait until the crimewatch programme to release them.

I don't need to .

I didn't employ them. The mccanns did.

Why do you like to change history ?

Hold on, I know, you are here to defend the mccanns, NO MATTER WHAT.

I have seen reports Murat's questioning has been suspended due to being questioned in past on the same matter.. Didn't I say this before? I remember seeing it somewhere before..

It is strange that Murat avoided this questioning when he claimed he was happy to give evidence..

His wife is to be questioned today.

Where did the order of play come from - anywhere reliable?

I saw a newspaper headline today - possibly Mirror- which  said 'Maddie cops - last chance to solve mystery' ( or words to that effect).
Do they know something that the rest of us don't, or is it just their usual hyperbole?

I think I shall probably wait for an official announcement from SY to find out exactly what is going on as they are most likely to know.

In the interim newspaper headlines are great for us to speculate and squabble over ... and aren't video reports great for showing us the calibre of at least one witness connected to Madeleine's case ... you know the old saying "Birds of a feather flock together" and MSM has told us the interesting thing about these people are that some were known to each other and in contact with each other.

And the least likely to tell us, I imagine. In the meantime we are thrown back on tabloid hacks and 'sources' of dubious reliability.

Joana Morais translated tweets from Marisa, Portuguese TV.

According to them: Murat is not going to be questioned, due to a legal barrier but his wife would be questioned.



Francisco Pagarete, Murat's lawyer, raised a legal issue, Murat might not be able to be questioned again. via @Marisa_TVI_JN  #mccann

Murat's questioning was suspended until legal issue is solved, his wife, Michaela Walczuch is being questioned. via @Marisa_TVI_JN #mccann

As you know ... they can tell us nothing ... as a result of Portuguese secrecy laws which they are certainly taking the greatest care not to breach.
