As we know, in cases of conspiracy the defence relies on the weakest link.  Many a weakest link has been known to agree a deal with the prosecution.  Their co-conspirators will have no knowledge of said deal.

The longer this goes on the worse the scenarios we imagine. Someone once asked asked why go to this amount of trouble to cover up a simple accident and the answer is inevitably that they must all have been sedating their children but even then there is the horror of what if there was something more?

But the strange thing about this case is that the more horrible the secret they might be trying to hide, the quicker  you'd think they would have tried to get themselves out of the spotlight, away from awkward police questions and nosy journalists and the rest.

They're not stupid, and they would have known that in order to make an abduction convincing they would have to do a bit of acting for a while, give false statements to the police, make public appeals, issue posters and so on. 
But they would also have had in mind, I'm sure, the fact that the more the case is scrutinized, the more likely they are to be found out...so they would have made a point of keeping everything as low-key as possible, and certainly when the PJ shelved the case you'd think they would have heaved a huge sigh of relief...that we'd have heard no more from them.

But as we all know, they did the exact opposite.

MADDIE COPS PRIME SUSPECT BLUNDER- tomorrows MIRROR 28/12/13 - Page 8 Empty Old news..ground hog day.

Post by columbostogeys 29.12.13 6:50

I just think people are reading far too much into this article.

ITS ALL old news anyway.

Why now?

Just think about it. What has really happened in the last 8 days that could be FRONT PAGE newsworthy. NOTHING. Not that would sell papers anyway.

So at the news desk meeting, they discuss what they have for the front page for Sunday 29th etc and decide they could rehash old news from the Madeliene case which sells papers.

So they rehash and re-print.

Its all been discussed before.

Ground Hog day. They should have titled it Ground Hog Day lol......

Who reads this rubbish anyway?

But as we all know, they did the exact opposite.

I think that most of the 'friends' (some barely knew the McCanns before the holiday) had no idea what they were getting into when they backed up the abduction story. I think there is a remark from one of them, saying somewhat perplexed that they thought it would be all over in a week or so.
That much also seems clear from the changing statements and contradictions.
The paedo angle was initiated by Gerry. Always good for salacious speculation by the tabloids.
The T 7 may well have thought - being in a foreign country - to send signals home asap was a good idea.
If the PR had arrived before the press was alerted, my feeling is that we'd barely know about it at all.
The strings that were pulled in the early stages were pulled in a carefully orchestrated sequence. Imo. winkwink

I think that it is exagerated to give  the PJ the right to make arrests in England. Any Britsh police force can do it for them and deliver the suspects to Portugal. This always happens among other countries.
This exageration has a goal and I again repeat my theory: pressure on the McCanns.
This could mean that they still did not confess the truth. Perhaps they have being offered the possibility to pay for the crime in their own country or to be taken to Algarve.
And I hope that the PJ are already at an airport, leaving to England, to pick them up and that there is a very short time for them to make a decision.

Speaking once more on the said jammies being held up for ex could have been example to be seen , I know I read a long time ago that ,new ones had to be sourced and they were used to convice what type they were. Also even bought out that they were same design,apart some were done up at back and some ,not sure but elsewhere,definatly made sure we knew they were not the said pair used by family.joyce1938

If I recall correctly, the pyjamas Kate and Gerry are holding up in the photo were sent to Portugal (very helpfully) by the store where they'd been bought. I think it was Marks and Spencer. We were told they were an exact copy of the pyjamas Madeleine had been wearing that night.

That is one version
Another Version is that they were Amelie's - identical, but smaller.
There are probably a few more versions knocking around as well.

I love your optimism Marconi!  smilie 

I too feel the end is very near, when the Crimewatch update was broadcast, it felt as though something had changed.

This is pure speculation, but I am wondering about all those phone calls the original program received. How many of them have accepted the game is up, and are now trying to save their own skins? The dismissal of the Jane Tanner suspect and release of the Smith e-fits has thrown the case wide open and may have been a huge signal to all involved that they are closing in.

For those who still think this is a cover up or that it will drag on for years, need only look at the faces of Kate and Gerry, their complete lack of credible support at the libel trial and the closure of the shop. I share your optimism Marconi, I think the end is very near.

I don't buy this version.
As how the hell would M&S have knowledge of style of pjs, or for that matter was Madeleine wearing it when she disappeared?

I wish I had your faith Marconi,but IF any arrest,s are made I don't think it will till after the 7 JAN.
