I wonder how much Edgar is pocketing from this syndication?

Now that would be interesting to know.

Likewise, where does he get his theories from ?

Well he presumably lost his job when OG took over the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance.

Australians have a different story in their papers

Comes complete with useful links to other facets of the McCann story

I know Australia is a long, long way away and a bit behind the times, but really - is this news?

It seems so unlike them to all turn down a free holiday courtesy of the PJ.

Was the 'a bit behind the times' jibe necessary?

It clearly is news.  This chap is clearly doing a series of articles in preparation for the 10th anniversary.  Quite whether anything worthwhile emerges remains to be seen.

Perhaps you would like to highlight the parts of this article that I was referring to that you consider news

Some of it is news to me.  For example ... "It was a reconstruction that the McCanns appeared reluctant to participate in - despite Portugal's police pleading its importance - and it was eventually aborted." is absolute nonsense.

According to the files ...

Public Ministry of Portimao
Case Section
Case 201/07 GALGS


Dear Sir
Public prosecutor

Kate Marie Healy arguida in the case referred to above, having been notified (page 3947) expresses her availability to participate in the reconstruction of the events on the second of the dates suggested, in other words on the 15 and 16th of next May. Her husband, Gerry McCann has also already expressed his availability.

Do you believe for a moment that the tapas friends would have refused to participate had the McCanns encouraged them to do so?  I bet there was plenty of behind the scenes conferring going on.

Quite speculative, but certainly possible.

The writer appears to have been reading the PJ files. Unless the subject discussed has been reported in Australia previously it may well be news to them.

Does your quote come from that article?  How bizarre!  Funny how the UK press is constantly being accused of re-hashing old news but when the Aussies do it, it's "news" - double standards innit.

Hence why I said Australia are a bit behind the times.
