Madeleine McCann Digging for the TRUTH?



So.............

You make public promises that you will not rest until you find Madeleine. 

You state, categorically, that no stone shall be left unturned. 

You assert that you will never give up looking. Never give up hoping. Never give up believing.


So..............


given that 30 plus police officers clear a large area of waste land, removing shrubs and foliage before using specialised, high-tech equipment, marking out specific, precise areas…………………carefully sifting through soil in a finger-tip forensic search in a prelude to DIGGING………………….where you believe, (according to your own LAWYER), that  "police will come up with some significant news"


HOW can ANY parent, given such circumstances..................

elect to STAY AT HOME in the UK and prefer to be “kept informed of any developments……??”.



PS: Given that you are SUING former Polícia Judiciáriacoordinator Gonçalo Amaral for publishing a book which “harmed the search for Madeleine because it reinforced an uncorroborated assumption that Madeleine is dead”; will you now also be suing Scotland Yard for reinforcing the same assumption?

If not, WHY not? 


PPS: "Ask the dogs, Sandra......." (Gerry McCann, 2009).

Gerry. I think someone just has.









Godbless Madeleine McCann, wherever you may be.

In the vice-grip of Madeleine media circus, seaside village asks “Why now?”




Amaral won a legal round in the ongoing defamation case brought out by Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann against him last week (see story on this page), meantime, police efforts around the little village in the sunshine continue, with another tent being erected around one area of digging mid-morning on Wednesday.

Am I the only one who's noticed this (see above in bold by me)? What does it mean exactly? How do you understand it?

No bother guys and thank you for the thanks. I wonder will there be helicopters at dawn tomorrow.

I can't see the McCanns ever setting foot in Luz again, it's as if a line has been crossed and people can't take any more.

[Mélusine]

Thank you Candyfloss, I have read this, only I wouln't say GA "won", so I got confused, now I see.

THANK YOU

We just want the truth.

[petunia]

Unbelievable isn't it daffodil, if i was Kate and Gerry i would be in Portugal this very moment shaking the hands of the PJ and SY police officers who are working so hard in such hot conditions trying to find out what could have happened to there Daughter.

[Justiceseeker]

Is that a blue sports bag in the wheelbarrow or is it just my eyes playing tricks?

It looks full.

Must smell bad for police to have mask on.

Image beneath soil at Madeleine McCann search site 'worth close attention'

By Martin Geissler, ITV News Correspondent
The British police team knew their work here on the Algarve wouldn't be easy, but it seems it's even tougher than they'd thought.
A search, originally planned for just six days may now take a fortnight.
Read latest updates from the searches in Portugal here
We don't know why they've doubled the timeframe. It could be that the work is simply harder than predicted, they're scouring baked, rocky, scrub covered terrain, after all.
Or it could be that there are more "places of interest" on this wasteground than satellite images suggested.

So far, two specific locations have drawn close attention. Officers uncovered a well concealed hole in the ground on the second day of their search. It had been hidden beneath sheets of corrugated iron and a layer of topsoil. The mouth of the hole is supported by planks of wood, like the entrance to a tunnel.
A tent was erected to preserve the site and police in forensics suits came and went from there yesterday.
Today, they seem less interested in the location. There's a suggestion it may have been a "den" used by local children in the past.
But the second spot they've identified is still keeping officers busy. Ground penetrating radar equipment picked up an image beneath the soil there yesterday. Forensic teams began work on the spot late in the afternoon and even the most senior detectives stayed on into the evening, supervising the operation.

Today, a team is still at work on the spot. Intermittently, they emerge to take buckets back to their vans. Samples, perhaps, for inspection.
Sources inside the investigation tell me the discovery is unlikely to be the "smoking gun" which has eluded police for seven years, but they certainly believe something is worthy of close attention.
Elsewhere on this vast scrubland teams continue to clear undergrowth and rake away at the soil. It's tough work in the baking heat but they're attacking it with just the same commitment they showed on day one.

Sniffer dogs have been out again this morning, scampering in and out of the bushes, looking to pick up a scent.
From their base at the highest point of the site, detectives scour the area with binoculars and Portuguese mounted officers patrol the perimeter on horseback. This is not an operation moving at breakneck speed, more of a slow, determined grind.

Frustratingly, we're receiving no updates from the teams here, no progress reports at all. The British taxpayer would be entitled to expect at least some information, perhaps, given the search is being funded from the public purse, but Scotland Yard insists its hands are tied. This is, officially, a Portuguese police operation and the law here forbids officers from talking about an ongoing inquiry.
So it may be that for another week or more we watch this meticulous search continue, fascinated by the methods the police are employing but unable to tell whether any of this is taking them even a small step closer to finding Madeleine McCann.

That's just a regular bucket Justiceseeker.

When you think of it, it's extraordinary that one couple have managed to do so much damage to so many people simply because they followed their own selfish wish to wine and dine with their friends instead of staying in the apartment to look after their 3 lovely children. I can only imagine what the people of PdL must think every time they hear their names.

[rustyjames]

Is that a blue sports bag in the wheelbarrow or is it just my eyes playing tricks?

It looks like an upturned bucket to me.

[rustyjames]

Oops TTWO got there before me!

[Justiceseeker]

Ah ok.
Just me then lol
Got a bit excited there.

[PeterMac]

Look Guys.
The blanket
AND
the tennis bag were photographed in the apartment on the night of 3 / 4 - 5 - 07
They are therefore irrelevant.

The fact that they have both SUBSEQUENTLY gone missing, is interesting.
And very relevant !

and fibres from them or a Renault Scenic's Upholstery in a hole in the snail would be of interest
