'Childless couple' theory takes lead in Maddie inquiry but resources under threat from Westminster 'Abuse' investigation


● CRIME WORLD.  By Donal MacIntyre



Maddie as she would look today as the 'childless couple' theory takes centre stage in investigation.

Maddie was snatched to satisfy a childless couple one of the lead theories being investigated by Met Police officers in Portugal suggests but the resources dedicated to the search for the missing four year old are likely to crash, as the Westminster 'abuse' investigation takes precedence.


The theory was raised by a number of years ago but now is back in vogue among the officers.
It is also, the one which the McCann’s cling to, as it offers Maddie if she is alive, the safest possible predicament.

The Sunday World reported this before but the relevance of this theory has intensified as their investigation in Portugal enters a new phase. Despite this direction there has been no breakthroughs of any significance in the case, as experienced investigators outside of the inquiry, expected.

With the trail so cold and the case so public, it is highly unlikely that any abductor, however amateur, would not clear up any residual evidence that might link him or her to the crime.

The Scotland Yard team remains in place with 30 officers and an open cheque book, but with such resources in place for a cold case investigation in a foreign country, and only 7 officers are working on the historical abuse allegations involving hundreds of children and ten and tens of abusers around high society and political circles in Westminster, that situation is unlikely to last.

Simply one cannot compare the cases but you can compare the resources and it is too disproportionate to sustain itself now that the Westminster historical allegations, have taken off.

Although centered around the Houses of Parliament, it is shortly to hit the elite in Scottish judicial and political circles as a ex-senior Police officer is due to go public on concerns that dramatic and explosive allegations he found in one house search was sidelined. 

It is also likely that Northern Ireland’s Kincora Boys’ Home scandal will be drawn into the public arena again as the allegations of an establishment cover-up in similar cases gain credence.

After one inquiry failed because of poor cooperation from the RUC, another in 1985 dismissed the main allegations of a sex ring operating there for the rich and powerful in Belfast business and public elite

This looks like a dry run for a possible wind down of the inquiry as predicted by Tony.  This will be the moral justification - "We tried - we gave it our best shot - but our people are needed on other pressing inquiries."  When they didn't even re-interview the Tapas 9!!!

Was it the "Childless couple" themselves who did the abduction ?
If so, when and how ?
What did they use to sedate all three children, how did they get in, how did they get out,  and so on ?

OR
Was M stolen to order by smellybinman, tractorman, whitevan man, mopedman, Smithman, Tannerman, (oh sorry !) red T Shirt targetman, swarthy gypsy men,
and then sold, perhaps at a public auction round the well,
In which case
when and how ?
What did they use to sedate all three children, how did they get in, how did they get out,  and so on ?

And if either of the above is correct
What school is she attending, which doctor does she go to, which dentist, who are her little friends, who are her suspicious neighbours, where are the local police and social workers who notice the sudden appearance of a 3-4 year old in their midst, what does it say on her passport, what does it say on her - forged - birth certificate, what does it say on her - forged - adoption papers,

Just curious !

Oh, and by the way, where did the human cadaverine come from and why is the blue bag missing and whose was all that blood . . . ?

Well you see what happened was,  tramp man and mentally ill man were watching the McCanns all day on the 3rd, and texting each other to update with what they saw. Then, when a 4 or 5 minute window of opportunity presented itself, instead of worrying that someone might disturb them at any minute,  they decided to walk into the apartment and take the oldest child, the one that was most likely to wake up and make a fuss. They were very clever and left no DNA traces, but unfortunately what happened was when they broke in, tramp man had a heart attack and died. Mentally ill man then decided the best thing to do was to run away with Maddie, which he did. The MCs then continued to check without noticing both that Maddie had gone and that there was a dead old man in the corner. Then, around an hour later, realising his mistake, mentally ill man came back with ocean club driver man and the van, to pick up now dead tramp man. Hence the cadaver odour. Oh and the blood traces are explained by Gerry's massive nosebleed the day before. Instead of rushing to the sink he decided to crouch behind the sofa and make the curtains messy.

BY DONAL MacINTYRE

The UK government is to call a halt to millions being spent on the Maddie McCann investigation

Who told him?

as the 30 officers have failed to deliver a single substantial piece of evidence over the last two years and after more than £10m.

Who told him?

The investigation has drawn a blank

Who told him?

despite a series of high profile announcements of imminent breakthroughs and extensive search around the Praia da Luz resort where the four year old went missing in 2007. 

The UK government has directly financed the investigation from the Prime Minister's office but now it is under pressure to put the resources into the historic claims of a child sex abuse ring operating out of Westminster

Who told him?

which currently is under resourced and only has seven full time investigators from the Metropolitan  Police on the case.

The public pressure on the explosive allegations that members of previous UK governments were involved in child sex rings and that their abuse was kept secret and investigations thwarted because of political connections has become the new priority,

Who told him?

casting the McCann investigation into the background.

Who told him?

'It is no longer sustainable for the open cheque book to be kept only for the Maddie investigation, not when there are many more victims and even murder inquiries wrapped up in the new scandal which needs a great deal of work', a Met Police insider

And who was that?

told the Sunday World.

The Maddie investigators had put a huge amount of diplomatic pressure on the Portuguese Police to allow new searches and access to the resort on the promise of fresh results, but having come up empty handed they understand that their time and resources on the case is coming to an end.

Who told him?

The officers came to Praia da Luz with five separate theories

Who told him? (Were these 5: Smelly bin-man, Burglars 1, 2 and 3, and 'Childless Couple'?)

and up to 10 suspects

What, 5 more? Who told him?

and they have left the scene none the wiser.

Local pressure from the businesses and tourist chief means that the Metropolitan Police will not be allowed to conduct more high profile searches because of the damage it has done to the local tourism interests.

Who told him?

'This was their last throw of the dice and it has now failed leaving the team with nowhere to go', a Met insider

The same 'Met insider'?  NO DOUBT AUTHORISED TO SPEAK TO McINTYRE AT THE VERY HIGHEST LEVEL.

Whitewash from Day One

told the Sunday World.
