Retired Dave Edgar insists he handed over all his findings to police
He said the leaked Home Office report claiming Maddie’s parents withheld vital information “may have been referring to previous investigators,” adding: “It wasn’t me.”

Mr Edgar, 60, told The Sun Online: “I gave Scotland Yard and Leicestershire Police everything I got, all my material, there would be no reason not to.”

The ex cop, who stopped working for the McCann’s when the Met Police came on board in May 2011, said he always had a “good relationship” with the Yard and the family’s home force.

It comes after details of a Home Office report were aired on Sky1’s Searching for Madeleine documentary to mark the 10th anniversary of her disappearance.

The gagging of Henri Exton which was critical of the group, and the Smithman e-fits.

I remain convinced Smithman is key!

Don't worry Mr Edgar, I doubt that anyone gave you a second thought. I would take someone with a logical mind and independent thinking, to write such a report.

By the time Edgar was hired the McCanns had learned a painful lesson (imo), and made very sure Edgar only investigated the leads they gave him, hence no problem handing his files over.
