Might depend upon what she sees enhancing her reputation.

Are you calling her professionalism into question?  What a surprise.

Note the little word 'might', dear

[Brietta]

I don't think gender is the issue.

She will take her own style to the investigation and the timing is probably just about right for a fresh pair of eyes to look at the pertinent evidence which has been separated from all the files which have been amassed over the years.

Hence my use of the word "question".

[jassi]

Yes, I could imagine the whole team is getting a bit jaded by now.

[Brietta]

Hmmm ... I doubt it, but then we really don't know a thing about the team or how many changes there have been already in personnel.

I am very sorry to see DCI Redwood go, but there is no doubt the investigation can only benefit from the skills and expertise of his replacement who by all accounts is not a person to let the grass grow under her feet.

[VIXTE]

I am thinking about what we are having now: 4 new arguidos and 11 new witnesses.

Is there anything that would 'connect' these arguidos and these witnesses, eh?

Amongst the arguidos is one ex OC worked so this would 'connect' the ex OC witnesses with this person but RM and his wife are 'connection' with SM?

I must say it is a puzzling and unusual combination what we have now.. and it is really strange combination of witnesses..

Reputation for solving cases quickly. And yes I can give you a link for that. So quickly that the media get left behind. I am seriously hoping that a female brain will discard the 7 year old brainwashed male obsession with open carrying, also the 7yr-old assumption there is more than one perp. Look at other cases and that is not usually the case.

So the latest news is there is no news. Robert Murat was interviewed for 4 hours. No new aquidos in this 11.

I agree with Robert Murat in what he said lately the only way to solve this mystery is to bring the players back and do a real reconstruction to their timeline. Also bring back the Smiths too.

The key is in the Tapas group. The may have unwillingly seen something, or just by the way they walk etc, might trigger someones memory......who knows.

What have we so far really what are Scotland Yard working on. The bungled burglary....? Well we threw that one out way back on the Mirror forum.

First off its early in the season, so hardly anyone actually on holiday and holiday makers with families i woudlnt expect to be a target unless you were after prams and such like.

And why would a burglar kill a child and take the body away, where too? You would panic. The child wakes up you get out of there. I for one dont think the child did wake up, the twins never did even with all the people in the room afterwards.........

Anyway I hope there is some latest news soon that will close this case, but my heart is heavy....I feel there will never be justice for Madeliene. x

I disagree there is no news.
We are seeing the tip of the iceberg.  There is a lot going on ... and very importantly there is a determination to find out what happened to Madeleine McCann underscoring it.

The fact that there is a very active investigation into the known facts of the case happening ... and all at the behest of her parents ... is the only chance there is to find out what happened to Madeleine. 

I cannot imagine why it is still propounded that the answer lies in a reconstitution involving seven people who neither saw (with the exception of Jane Tanner) nor had anything at all to do with the crime against Madeleine.

HOLMES will have been fed all the information and very possibly has spat out the names of the people who should be looked at as witnesses who can possibly shed more light and suspects who might have been in place to be involved. 

Which is why SY and the PJ are looking at the people they are in Portugal.  These are the ones who may hold the key.

That people who are used to using various means to invade premises illicitly, leaving no trace or as little as possible, whose favoured times of entry are just prior to holidaymakers leaving ... I refer to criminal burglars who if encountered are not very nice people ... are always ruled out of the equation on forums is quite extraordinary.
They have the skills, they have the criminal contacts.
However burglars out ... innocent holidaymakers in.  Didn't make sense in 2007 doesn't make sense today.

Maybe they weren't after prams ... or dead children.  Maybe the intended target was a beautiful blue eyed, blonde little girl.

Rubbish, Her parents could just tell the truth, that's the best way of finding Maddie.

An issue, IMO, is that we're getting scraps of "news", much of which isn't verified.

Unlike a TV drama such as The Missing, there aren't necessarily any links for the public to attempt to connect. Not that that stops speculation.

And, unlike a TV drama, this is a real one, involving real people and a real investigation.

The police may be interviewing these people as nothing more than routine plod work, expanding the circle of ground under their feet, cross-checking, but also hoping that some detail or other may lead somewhere, possibly to someone whose name has never even arisen in connection with the case.

The lack of a proper police/media conduit and articles by the tabloids with dodgy sources are leading to a huge amount of possibly unwarranted speculation.

But the 4 are still arguidos and 11 are still witnesses. This is what I am pointing out.. That there might be something going on behind the screen that we have no clue about due to no media coverage but these are the facts: 4 arguidos and 11 witnesses.

Do we know if the arguidos are of that status as a result of the police making them so or as the result of a  request by themselves for that status?

If this information is being revealed to journalists ... it begs the question, what else is being leached from the heart of the investigation, by whom and to whom? 

Who decides what is to be leaked or what is not to be leaked and who decides what spin is to be put on it for public consumption?
