Who is this Mr Anonymous ? Why does he deserve anonymity ?

I am betting he is either MI6 or someone linked to the McCann's.

This is what is so intriguing Stella. They have named every other person who has been arrested except for this one person, whom Sky say they have found out is a Private Detective. It seems unbelievable that they don't know who this person is. Have they been told to keep it quiet, and why? Hmmm...

A very useful diagram Rosa, thank you.

You are welcome lj

The only Surrey detective I can find linked to the McCanns - what do we know about him?

NOEL HOGAN

Kate and Gerry McCann have hired a former Met Police officer to carry out a "cold case" review into Madeleine's disappearance. Noel Hogan, a former CID detective, has spent hundreds of hours interviewing British witnesses in the case. He has also gone through each witness's existing statements line by line. Among those he has interviewed include the so called "Tapas seven" who were on holiday with the McCanns in Praia da Luz last May. He is also thought to have taken Kate and Gerry McCann through their own statements in minute detail. Mr Hogan spent eight years in the Met where he reached the rank of detective superintendent. Since 1986 he has run his own detective agency in Surrey, Hogan International, which claims to have extensive experience dealing with missing-person cases http://www.ehogans.com/News.html (Links to Met and MI5)
