Madeleine McCann: Top officer pledges that hunt for missing girl will continue apace

You can`t tell me that there was no government panic and intrusion. GM must have given them a `help me or else`. CM was sent to monitor them IMO. But the rest is plausible.

@DDL - As regards Smithman, maybe TB is right and he was just made up to get the other arguido off the hook. I personally don`t think TB is right but I keep an open mind.

I`ve always assumed it was to a local lettings property, that only one person had a key to.

Ah yes!

@ PM - never heard of the small chapel built a year later in the triangle - what triangle is that ?
Sorry but you`ve got me wondering.

Birch maybe sort of right.

Not sure if PM means this area?:

How can you say it sounds plausible?what about the preplanned abduction theory and the manipulated photos?

no not sure either -doesnt really seem the place for a small chapel unless its next to the church.

Agreed Mini,it is all to do with the Powers That Be (ptb).I was a big fan of Leonard Nimoy(r.i.p.)He was lovely and half vulcan so we can rule out the alien theory.He was an icon of mine you know and he hated bullies.

dogs don't lie wrote:Sounds plausible, but what about smithman?

Either an invention
or a random bloke carrying his daughter.
Either way NOT Gerry carrying Madeleine..

I hate to disillusion anyone but Leonard Nimoy wasn't half Vulcan; that was his character Mr Spock!

The government assistance / interference (whatever you want to call it) from the very start in this case is unprecedented.

But it was amateurishly handled from the get go,shutters for one,not sure which door we used for another,timelines written on the back of a book.JT saw someone,GM and JW standing directly opposite didn't even see JT.

@PeterMac why are you sure it wasn't GM,if it was indeed any one.

I believe the Government interference was caused by friends of friends in high places. It all got out of hand once the Mcs gave the 'green light' to their family's to contact the TV stations.  I also believe they got so much assistance because they were a group of Dr's and not just GP's - Upstanding citizens and all that.

I do agree with PM on this and would like to ask where the new Chapel was built (Lagos perhaps) or did the church in PDL have an extension built?

Just my thoughts

.........Macs, no friends or contacts in Portugal.

What about John Geraghty, he did a lot more than see them off from the airport when they fled the country.

Just check where Mountsorrel and Rothley are!

Perhaps GM was supposed to sort the shutters out but didn't have time because of Gez. I recall seeing GM putting something in his car with surgical gloves on, but didn't he go outside on that fateful evening and try the shutters? - no finger prints of GM found only KM???
As for when they were questioned no one only the Police can know what questions are to be asked, their minds must have been all over the place. Perhaps such a simple question as 'which door did you enter the apartment' never crossed their minds.

I don't believe it was an invention at all
Or a random bloke with his daughter,

Either way,OG has to corroborate or eliminate.
Defence/Prosecution,what about the alleged sighting by the Smith family? IMO.

If you can accept it was Gerry running into the Smiths ,the timeline will fit M dying in 5A around 6pm on 3 May,the DNA in 5A ,the DNA on Kates clothes but not on Gerry,the DNA in the flowerbed,the pact of silence and several other well worn aspects and that will never do.

And could possibly be the reason why they're trying to ruin Gonçalo Amaral and not the likes of SB.
IMO

Smithman was the alibi to corroborate the abduction (GM with JTDaughter) JTSighting to prod memory of MS. We have a thread on smithman. IMO

Agreed.
