Madeline McCann's mother to be an official suspect

Seems the McCanns are fighting on with the search.

Thats nothing but a PR move after all the bad publicity.

Thats about their only option seeing as a couple of major contributors told them they couldnt use the money for the defence.

So there we go wiget... You are in total denial which is obvious to everyone else here except you.

The only time you give any credibility to forensic evidence in the rental car's boot is when you can manipulate it to suit your belief system.

It is not a case of listening to what the facts say. If the facts say murder you will argue to the grave that either:
(a) The don't say murder,
or;
(b) The facts are wrong



"That I believe" ...well wiget believe anything you want because in a court of law the police will produce witnesses, the actual evidence and spectrographic analysis of the body fluids, DNA test results and blow away all the delusional thinkers who refuse to believe parents kill kids.

Actually wiget had you been at the above mentioned party you would likely have:

(a) denied there was any evidence of Marijuana
(b) questioned if I really saw what I saw

Please people remember the topic of this thread is Madeleine McCann, not each other.

There's an interesting new story on Timesonline.co.uk

Having painted a somewhat sinister portrait of British doctors on holiday, let me even the scales of blind justice by sketching an Algarve resort in the worst possible light.

I’ve never been to Prahia da Luz, but I have hitch-hiked extensively in Europe, particularly along the Cote d’Azur and in other touristy areas.

One thing these places have in common is an army of people whose purpose is to “soak” the tourists. Most of these opportunists are “honest” business people of various sorts. Yes, they are going to charge you an arm and a leg for whatever they provide, but, and it is an important but, they do want your return business. They are not going to kidnap and/or murder one of your children.

Unfortunately, other types abound in these areas. These are the predators and scavengers.

They can be criminal types offering the usual line of illegal goods and services or scavanger types who want to get a slice of the tourist dollar anyway they can. There are also sexual predators of every description. Then there are the “official” scavangers. These are the crooked cops, customs officers, border and immigration officials, etc. At the lowest end of the scale there are youths who will snatch anything they can get their hands on, and I mean anything.

In all of these holiday places the predators have a lot going for them. They have targets with money, who are relaxed, looking to have a good time and who are unfamiliar with their current surroundings. Best of all, the targets stay for a while and then they go. If you do them wrong in any way and can finesse your way around them for a limited period of time, usually a week or two, you are home free without legal consequences and can go on to your next target.

It is important to get a mental picture of a plethora of petty crimes, of victims who don’t speak the local language, of police who are understaffed and overwhelmed by demanding foreigners used to a level of response that the locals simply can’t furnish. An “attitude” develops. The attitude is best described by a physical gesture, a shrug.

One more twist, many of these predator and scavenger types are not from Prahia da Luz either. They could be from anywhere in Europe or North Africa. When I was in France I met a guy from Morocco who frankly told me that he didn’t care what he did in France.

This is the environment that our oh so smart and clever British doctors landed in.

Here are two links to articles concerning the “alleged” actions of one of the lead detectives in the Madeleine investigation. This is the guy referred to by Wigit.

Nothing as yet proven, but it’s a disturbing picture. The similarities to the Madeleine case certainly catch the eye.

Here is a link to comments made by the Australian woman whose child was snatched by dingos. I think she makes a lot of sense.

After looking on google earth at the surrounding areas for possible disposal sites there are a few other places the should be checked out if nothing turns up in the sea......
There are 7 small lakes/water areas between Barao de Sao Joao and Barao de Sao Miguel.
There are 9 small lakes/water areas at the Boavista Golf Course.
There is the harbour at Lagos
& several lakes, irrigation systems and a large estuary coming in from the sea at Meia Praia.
I do hope everyone is wrong and they find her alive and well but this long after her disapearance and with all the evidence coming up of late the outlook for poor Maddie is looking grimmer by the day.

My own bet for a place to dump a body would be somewhere along the coast, in the water, probably toward Burgos rather than Lagos. I think there is a better chance of being unobserved there.

If she's been dumped at sea, it's a good bet that her body has been eaten by sharks by now. Remnants may have floated to shore, but then the problem becomes birds. (Although carrion eating birds could also be a tip-off.)

If bones have made it to shore, the dogs might find them. If you put the dogs in a small boat and ran it along the coast in the evening when the wind is blowing from the land to the sea, you might catch scent of something and be able to zero in on it

I'm interested in whether the police efforts to dig up the fresh paving areas around the church yield any results. The dogs must have sensed something there.

Just on BBC news: Richard Branson has given £100,000 for the costs involved in defending themselves.

the typical mode of that kind of operation revolves around uncertainty, hearsay, sensationalism and a good dose of cynicism, iow. a winning combination - or so it seems.


the problem i see is that we cannot expect to be told the whole story, ie. that any suspicous detail might be resolved easily if we only knew one more detail, they did not tell, because it would hurt the agenda.

let's see, the parents suddenly became suspects months after the fact, may is ask why IF there was evidence of them drugging their own children?

there's a history of pedophile-related crime going on in Portugal.

www.cbsnews.com...

www.cnn.com...

www.prisonplanet.com...

so, strictly imho, the McCanns got the shaft because they became too vocal and because public attention did not fade as expected (projected?), so they only way was to taint the people involved, and to top it off,

these cynical and convenient explanations are gobbled up by an eager crowd that keeps crowing for blood - anyone's blood, no matter what.

ipsedixit's provided an example of such a witch hunt gone wrong (if there is such a thing in witch hunts)

www.abovetopsecret.com...

if you keep insisting that



consider for a moment who stands to gain? it's all too clear that you could find thousands of cases like this to convey the image, so that in cases where relatives put up a fuss, they are silenced by framing.

Two Birds with one Stone, you get a convict (= closed files) while the surviving relatives who might have gone on some sort of vendetta are rotting behind bars.

Read this thread, even only skim through it and then come back and tell me, h*ck, tell the surviving victims that it's usually 'in the family'.


this mentality gives gangs and their leaders all the power in the world, because people will turn on one another at a whim. but i guess once there's a conviction, again, any conviction the dust will quickly settle.

Now the Portuguese investigator is coming under scrutiny and has been accused of wrongdoing in another similar case:

Well, seems they are confident enough to take a lie detector test to clear their names.

As far as i know lie detector results are not used in a court of law?

I just got my ass chewed on Daily Kos Because I attempted discuss my weird connection to this story. I too have a line in my right eye. I've never seen any one else with this eye pattern (I'm 44) - so when I saw her in a flash on tv- I ran to my computer for verification- I really couldn't believe it. So this lead me to research Cat Eye syndome - rare, and assciated with mental & physical retardation. Neither I nor Madelind appear to suffer from. I also had recently hooked up w/ One Great Family. So two thoughts came to me- is it genetic and if so was there a geneological connection between me & madeline?
My mother always said she was all Irish- but I quickly learned theat her fathers side was Scottish and his mothers side originated in France. I found information about the scottish side back to 1206 and possibly Willaim the conquer who they rode with- possibly of Norman descent. That family motto is "Confido" (I trust). My great grandmother 's side is obviously from The French region.- Jardine - Garden in french, motto Cave Adsum (Beware I am Present- or watching). It appears the Jardine name rode with Robert the Bruce ( direct blood lineage yet to be determined). So I delve deeper, Why the migration from Norman territory to Scotland then to Ireland- Religion seems to be the key. It is know that my great,great grands were Convenants, who finally landed in Canada.It is apparent these two families moved together - a daughter ahs a Jardine middle name before the marriage of my ancestors- so the connection goes back at least to ireland, probably scotland and possibley france. I am a spiriual pragmatist- not ususally freaked out by coincidences.I'm finding interestin connection to my fathers heritage, Verona Italy. But it's already too complicated , but I make a mental not. If Luthuanaian figures into these connections they are going to have to take me away in a straight jacket- so far so good. But they have been happening so often and so blatantly I can no longer deny them. For reasons I can not explain I got the compulsion to get tattooed- a personal hieryglyph in Horus fashion w/ perosnal touchs.I've always hated needles and have fainted during blood draws. I finally watched the Da Vinci Code on Cable in May. Which didn't mean much until I visited the cemetery the family is buried in and Noticed my grandfatehr was a 32nd mason-Sargent of Arms it appears- there is a sword with his name engraved on it. I could go on about the little strange thing that have been occuring since I saw Madeline and her eye. I send this out in hopes my Cat Eye Sister can be helped. I've tried to e-mail the parents to use my Eye- there are still people who follow folklores and mythology (even Christians) to their literal ends., perhaps it will scare the crap out of who ever has her or harmed her.
Any other thoughts regarding my quest for personal context in life, would be welcomed. I must though admit, this is the last outpost for out of the box thinking- which appears now to be our only hope to understanding and controlling our world- status quo questions and answers are no longer cutting it.
I've tried to figure out how to add a picture of my eye to support my claim- but like I said, i'm 44 and I don't have a kid around to show me. I'll try to send it through the contact to see if they'll add it or allow it- it's rather the point of the post.

This is completely off topic and adds nothing to the story of this little girls abduction.. I mean seriously, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what point you were trying to make here. So you have a weird looking pupil too? so what, make your own thread about it geez..


On to the real topic at hand here;

I read the story the other day about the police sketch of a possible abductor and this little girl and the first thing that came to my mind is.. Why is this JUST now coming out?

Also, it appears like her parents have used about 1/3 or over 66% of the 2 million dollars of donations for personal expenses, including their mortgage, they act like they hit the powerball or something. They should be ashamed, if anything they should have donated it to some organization or support group for other children who have been kidnapped..
