"Former Child Protection Officer MWT", flashes up in white, with "ABDUCTED GIRL" below in red, every so often.  Why former??  Why was he so important?  Uses 'zoom' to show "path" to Tapas bar, (including the re-enactment of Jesus walking in water, over swimming pool!) Cuts away to walking up steps to 5A.  At no point tries to show actual route from 5A to Tapas, perhaps MWT walking and talking to camera etc etc???  I wonder why not??  Again, a cut away to the Marina.......visually suggesting what I wonder???

People could "read into" what they want, but where "Jesus" comes into play on this video I'm not sure?
 Are you suggesting subtle references to drowning, or of taken away via a boat? 
Not sure exactly what you are suggesting and do not buy into all "hidden" meanings in either words or videos.

Yes, i wouldn't mind an explanation of the how you came to think there was any ref. to walking on water or Jesus please? I have watched the video twice now and I.m baffled as to why that came into mind?

I remember one of the first vids i watched about the case had lots of footage of Pampas Grasses, which is supposed to be a sign of swingers (supposedly they plant them in their front gardens as a sign to other swingers, shame for any innocent gardeners who may do the same!) It really did seem like whoever had edited the film was trying to make an unspoken point. I am not going with the swinging theory though, it may have just been more distraction.
I would love to know where you saw any ref.to walking on water?


Away to try and find the pampas vid

Found this on FB.

Kate McCann has described how her daughter Madeleine "was very much on my mind" throughout a tough 500 mile (805km) charity bike ride to help other families with a missing loved one.

She is going through a charity bike ride for children and others who's missing and make this strange comment:
"I KNOW this want help Madeleine"

Skevlan is a Norwegian/Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skevlan.  This two part interview with the McCanns was televised on 23rd March 2012.  Why this interview ever took place I'm at a loss to know - but it did and can't be ignored.

It's very important to carefully watch and listen to Gerry McCann - then read the following extract from the PJ files, released into the public domain in July/August 2008.  His wife is still swooshing curtains but I'll dismiss that for the moment.  McCann talks of the last photograph and the police investigation.  It's also interesting to observe Skavlan's reaction to the interview.

4592 to 4649 Letter to the Attorney General regarding investigation details

17- Processo 17 Pages 4592 to 4649

I - Introduction

Before actually entering the appreciation of the present inquiry it is useful to take a summarised look at the enormous dimension of the inquiry which is constituted of 17 Volumes, with a global processing of approximately 4500 pages, 9 appendixes that are integrated by 55 Volumes, in which 12000 pages and other relevant pieces were gathered, analysed and treated; further 22 dossiers were constituted, with more than 5000 pages, concerning fanciful or senseless news, yet organised out of mere caution.

Therefore, this inquiry which demonstrates the pertinent commitment of the Polícia Judiciária (PJ) in the resolution of the disappearance of minor Madeleine McCann, demanded from it the performance or coordination of several diligences as described in the various files, namely: the preservation of the location of the fact (although it had already been rummaged by numerous people as we will discuss ahead); several collections and examinations on the existence of eventual traces; a circumstantiated photographic report; the installation, in the first 24 hours of an extensive operational scheme, including the participation of several police and civil protection forces, in a total of over 130 elements; the reinforcement, in the next 24 hours of said operational scheme, with the mobilisation of over 300 members of police forces and public entities; the installation of control posts on roads and on the Southern terrestrial border with Spain; the use of sniffer dog teams; the use of exceptional search and rescue teams (aerial, terrestrial and maritime), alerts and diffusion all over the country and abroad. As a mere example, during the following weeks and on a permanent basis, two helicopters, four vessels and several all-road vehicles, apart from private airplanes and boats, were employed; in the same manner, the investigation operations were coordinated with the specific search operations, with hundreds of diligences performed, like the identification and the formal and informal hearing of citizens, door-to-door searches, in the impressive number of 443, at the residences and tourist resorts of Vila da Luz and its surroundings, the identification and search of vehicles, and searches on the terrain, in an area that started out covering 15 Km2, and progressively grew to 30Km2 (where special attention was paid to locations like wells, passages, tunnels, reservoirs and lakes).

During the following days, more than 700 persons who might possess some relevant information about the disappearance were formally and informally questioned, with the PJ using more than 100 officers from several departments of Portimao, Faro and Lisbon, who worked on a consecutive base of 24 hours per day to accomplish the task.

All the locations where there could be images that might be related to the case (like, for example, restaurants and petrol stations) were equally consulted, and the telephone lines of the permanent services of the Portimao and Faro departments were made available. A mobile police post was installed in Vila da Luz to collect information.

Apart from the already mentioned identifications and door-to-door house searches, the listing, contact and interview with known local suspects with previous connections to sexual criminality against minors, was performed.

The PJ was especially careful to promote regular meetings with the missing child's parents and also designated a Liaison Officer for the family, for permanent support and relationship, with the active following and cooperation of the Royal British Consulate in Portimao.

Shortly after the beginning of the investigation continuous relationships with the Leicestershire Constabulary, which, for the effect, sent several of its officers to Portugal, with the PJ equally sending officers to the United Kingdom, were established, and intense cooperation and understanding was registered between these entities, which were united in the common purpose of searching for the missing child, and for the truth.

In the inquiry it is clear that the PJ never dismissed any information or credible elements that might lead to the revelation of facts, with over 2000 formal and informal diligences carried out over the months, and the PJ having explored, nationally and internationally, all of the information with a higher or lower degree of credibility, with special relevance for tens of supposed sightings or trackings of the child, most of which were widely reported by the press.

As an example, cases of international cooperation can be mentioned, namely with Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which led to the detention or identification of persons that tried to introduce misleading information about the hypothetical destiny or tracking of the child.

In summary, it is notorious that the PJ spared no efforts in the sense of making exceptional technical, human and financial means available to find the child and to discover the truth of facts, having been completely accompanied in this effort by the Leicestershire Constabulary, the police force that is located in the city of Leicester, where most of the people in the holiday group come from.

If you listen carefully to Gerry McCann's words, remember the claims made by the Tapas group in particular during the rogatory interviews  and then read the extract from the PJ Files, there is a strong indication that the McCanns and their group of friends have been rather economical with the truth.

Kate also says a lot of interesting things in the second video above -

She stated that if Madeleine is dead, then there's no search, as if the search is more important than her nit having her daughter back. I would have expected 'if she's dead, then my world falls apart' or something similar.

She stated quite categorically that 'a man' took Madeleine, this is what she tells S and A. Couldn't be a woman or a group of people?

She stated she was 'thrown off' when the twins have recounted events from before May 2007, and looked quite uncomfortable at the question of how much the pair of them remember.

I also don't understand the whole 'if she's dead there's no search'. Portuguese and British police will be looking for her, regardless of whether she's alive or not, arguably more if they have reason to believe she's dead because it becomes a homicide. Anybody else 'looking' doesn't matter. Time to stop the fallacy that Joe public is 'looking' and that will have any positive effect on the investigation. At the time of this interview it had been 5 years. Given that we never had any clear or accurate images of Madeleine in the first place, the chances of a random person spotting her on the street are slim to none, surely?

Strongest memory of Madeleine.......

It's the photograph, the last photograph taken that day   etc blah etc blah


So strange how GM words his strongest memory of his daughter .........not her laugh or sweetness or anything "animated"about her, his memory is a photograph of Madeleine.

I've not seen the two Skandi videos before. 5 years on and they are still lying about the shutters. There is so much detail in their answers it's completely alarming. How on earth have they managed to evade being held accountable for their version of events when another human beings life is at stake?? It defies any logic and reason!

Fine piece of amateur dramatics from Kate McCann. Surely the police in UK and Portugal can see through it?

Devastating that these two are given so much self expression of their version of events and allowed to not formally answer police questions. Come on the world get a grip. This is a circus!

Ambassador for Missing People: "Yeah, I know this won't help Madeleine...."

Crufts on Channel 4 this eve, , use watch again if necessary. Talking about the incredible power of trained scent dogs with examples to boot. If ever there is scepticism about using dogs and their reliability then this dispels it.

Geeez - just clicked on this thread and Kate McCann's voice hit me - thought my laptop was being invaded

It was the above video - phew!

When this was first screened had not the tannerman theory been discounted by op grange? Why would kate mention the person as their cheif suspect when it was proven that he was an english tourist with his own child.

Strictly speaking no - the Skavlan show was broadcast in March 2012, ex-DCI Andy Redwood announced his legendary 'revelation moment' during the Crimewatch Madeleine McCann Special broadcast in October 2013.  What went on previously 'behind the scenes' in this respect I know not.

Having said that, it has been questioned before, as to why the McCanns still feature the Tanner sighting on their official website.  My own observation here is, the Crimewatch production incident room (if that's what it was) also featured the Tanner sighting, along side a gallery of other alleged persons of interest to the inquiry/investigation - also featured on the official Find Madeleine website.

From a McCannite angle, it could be said that it's reason enough to justify inclusion on their website.  After all, Andy Redwood didn't entirely rule out the Tanner sighting - his words were "we are now almost certain...."  Plenty of scope there for manoeuvre should the need be.

A lot of heading shaking (leakage?) going on in the Skavlan interview, when they are trying to assert something, eg at about 4.15 in, Kate says 'absolutely' while shaking her head side to side, implying she / her body doesn't agree with what she is saying, that her first thought was an abductor had taken Maddie.

Because she's a buffoon & a liability & has made gaffes right from the start. Her thought processes cant keep pace with her mouth.

At the completion of this video four further video options appear. The bottom right one is a Hideho McMinute featuring a Sandra Felgueiras interview. I would hazard a guess that this was the same day that Kate McCann would have posed for a professional PR photo shoot. It was the full make-up and cream top with pendant that rang a bell.

I'm unable to bring the two together from my phone for comparison but the stills can be found on the twitter thread.

It just goes to show the extent of the slick PR offensive.
