Re: British police believe they spoke to her attacker

The Express 5 Jan 2014

Madrid-based Heriberto Janosch has written to Scotland Yard’s Operation Grange detectives with details of his findings.

The revelation comes after it was reported that Scotland Yard officers have identified three “prime suspects” in a burglary gang after analysing phone data around the time of the abduction on May 3, 2007, at Praia da Luz in Portugal’s Algarve.

The report claimed there were a high number of calls between the group after Madeleine vanished. It also suggested the gang was responsible for two earlier raids at neighbouring apartments, one of which was foiled when they were disturbed by an elderly resident.

Now Yard chiefs are involved with discussions with counterparts in Portugal on how and when to arrest the trio, one of whom is Portuguese.

Mr Janosch said that the individual he is interested in was not working at the Ocean Club during the evening when Madeleine disappeared. He said: “When I read the information in the Portuguese police files I felt it was important to contact Scotland Yard to make sure they were aware of it.

“Now I understand that the Yard is concentrating on three suspected burglars and I wonder if this man I am interested in is one of them.

“The investigation is reaching a very important stage and hopefully the police are on the verge of a breakthrough.

“I have investigated this case for a long time and it is my belief that Madeleine was taken by burglars and there was no planned kidnapping.

“She just happened to come across them when they were in the apartment.”

He read the Police files but he didn´t noticed all the lies and there was not a single trace of a break in?

NOTES FOR POSSIBLE TIMELINE

16:00 Two men (Ricardo and Jose Carlos?) Ask for money for a nonexistent orphanage ( "1" in the plane based on Google Maps ).

17:26 Call from cell Jose Carlos and Ricardo.

21:05 Gerry, Madeleine's father leaves her sleeping with his brothers 2 years in the apartment 5A ( "2"), to continue the dinner with his wife and his group of friends at the Tapas Bar ( "3 ").

21:25 Message SMS between cell Jose Carlos and Ricardo.

21:35 Matthew Oldfield, who was dining with Madeleine's parents, through the 5A apartment, and sees nothing unusual.

21:38 Call between José Carlos cellular and Ricardo.

21:50 ¿approximate time that Madeleine is kidnapped?

21:51 Jose Carlos makes a call on his mobile phone, about 1 minute long, Ricardo.

22:00 Kate, the mother of Madeleine , arrives at the apartment 5A for children. The bedroom window is open, the blinds raised. Madeleine is no longer.

22:05 The members of the Smith family, see a man carrying a child in her arms, the physical characteristics of Madeleine. The girl goes in pajamas and barefoot, despite the cool night ( "4").

23:00 Jose Carlos "take the air" on one of the balconies of the building where he lives ( "5"). On the street, almost in the same place and at about the same time, a person sees two men talking loudly. When they realize they are being watched, talking away quietly.

So based on three mobile calls and one SMS in the area at the time, Jose Carlos and Ricardo are being accused of kidnapping Madeleine McCann with no knowledge of the content of the mobile calls or SMS message.

I call this COINCIDENCE rather than CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

Presumably the call at 21:38 went along the lines -

'I've killed a girl in the flat that could have witnessed my petty pilfering, you'd better turn up with your forensic deep cleansing kit'

Accomplice disappears into a cupboard & transforms from Penry mild mannered janitor/Ocean Club chauffeur into Hong Kong Phooey. He arrives at the scene in the Phooey mobile. It looks like the the case has been bungled but after a shake of the head, Spot the cat saves the day.

I am interested in the background and experience of this man who has made such outrageous claims with no evidence!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

"- In your bilingual blog Outer Space, you analyse the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Why did you become interested in the case?

Heriberto Janosch González (HJG) - Way back in 2011 I wanted to do a degree in criminology and a co-worker told me, "Look this case, the parents are involved." I was interested and I started searching all official documents, thousands of pages. Only the main file of the Polícia Portuguese Judiciary consists of 5,500 pages. The incident occurred in Portugal, and the English girl, of almost four years, was on holiday with her parents.

- Yes, we have talked a lot about. And the parents were involved?

HJG - Absolutely not. I realised that when I read the first 500 pages, it was physically impossible they were involved. It is true that they have committed a serious mistake, they thought they were in a safe place and left the children alone, asleep, a few dozen meters from where they were dining. Though they checked every half hour to see how they were, it was not enough. It was a mistake, yes, but the crime was committed by the kidnapper.

- Why did the Portuguese judicial police suspected the parents?

HJG - I do not know. The highlight was in September, four months after the abduction, when they were imputed. Until then they had only one suspect, an Englishman, Robert Murat , who lived near the apartment 5A, and proved to be innocent. And as the statistics say that in cases of missing children most often a family member is involved ... But each case is unique. You can not apply a statistic that is a result of many independent population level crimes each other, to a particular case.

This matter has now been almost nine years and is not fully clear. Did you come to any conclusion based on everything that you read?

HJG - From reading and from my travels to the scene, in the Portuguese Algarve. I found it very important to know the physical and social environment where the event occurred. So I went four times, staying about a week on each trip. Luz, Praia da Luz is a village of white houses and few buildings, with a beach on the Atlantic, with four-star hotels and apartments for tourists. Inhabited mainly by English and Portuguese, and tourists, of course, they come from several countries, but mainly from England, Holland and Germany.

To know the environment is important ...

HJG - Yes, and I at that time was doing graduate studies in criminology and I was very interested, and was influenced by the theory of Situational Action of Per-Olof Wikström ... It is a criminological theory of two levels, the individual and the environment, and at the intersection of both levels is the criminal situation.

Maddie case is SO high profile and extensively reported.

Every breathing person in Portugal must have heard of her disappearance.

If Kate truly believes she is in Portugal, alive and findable, why doesn't she ask PJ to issue regular National Alerts to appeal to householders to keep a look out or to report suspicious person. She would even do it herself using Portugal broadcasting channels.
Who or what will stop her?

Could it be her leaking brain is telling us where Maddie's body is?

His background seems not so good as is indicated in other posts. In addition just about all his so called investigation is pretty well undermined by Richard D Halls films and especially the "Dogs don't Lie" section. All this evidence is ignored and I wonder how he would explain this. He says "I at that time was doing graduate studies in criminology" - no doubt run by Metodo 3.
If true SY have sunk even below Hillsborough standards (if thats possible) by putting out this rubbish. I thought the police did not disclose who they were going to arrest/investigate - especially in the press. Cliff Richard investigation excepted.
Imagined scenario -
SY detective on phone: "Is that suspect no 1?"
Suspect No 1 on phone: "Yeah mate"
SY detective: "You read the Papers this mornin' sir?"
Suspect No 1 "Nah mate - only just learnt to read"
SY detective: "Right o sir I'll just fill you in - It says You and 2 of your mates are gonna be arrested by us as soon as Govt. coughs up the £95000 for plane ticket. Where you livin' now?
SY detective: "Oh bugger! he's rung off. You can't trust anyone these days"
As has been said in many posts - if SY were going to investigate - they should have investigated facts, not theories from McCanns or CM etc. and not had a pre-defined remit. Still, no chance of that now.
Dont forget :- THE TRUTH IS STILL OUT THERE (The X Files).

by coati mundi 28.04.16 13:02

Haven't posted in quite a while, but wanted to say that there is no way any patsy (or patsies) will be presented in a court for trial. That would necessitate the McCanns and the Tapas 7 giving evidence. Any half decent advocate would tear them to pieces on their version of events for that night. If they chose not to appear, then the case would collapse.

The prosecution would have to establish the "facts" of what happened not only that night but also on preceding days. It's not going to happen because if it were done in order to clear the McCanns, those behind it would be well aware that they and their friends would be cross examined "up hill and down dale" as barristers I have worked with used to say.

Not going to happen - it's just spin.

By the way, congratulations to Snr Amaral.

Either they will have to take them to court which should be very interesting without any evidence.

Or they will just have to drop the case against them.

And then it will just be assumed by the British that they were responsible but the police cannot prove it?

Will the three have any legal redress against being falsely accused in the newspapers?

I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head. That is exactly what will happen.

As for your question about legal redress. Assuming they stick with the 3 burglars, they have chosen 3 people who have no money and no way to sue in a foreign court. And provided the SY report and MSM stories are factual in terms of calls made / time of txts / criminal records, then there is no claim anyway.

THE HISTORY OF THIS CASE SINCE SCOTLAND YARD REOPENED THE CASE ON 4TH JULY, 2013

Online News.com.au article of 04JUL2013: “[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]”

"We have identified 38 persons of interest from a number of European countries. Twelve of those people are UK nationals who we believe were in Portugal at the time Madeleine disappeared," Insp Redwood said” and “of the 38 suspects, 12 are British and were all in Portugal at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.”

BBC confirms this.

On its online article of the same day, 04JUL2013, “[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]”

SNIPPED TO THIS....

The Daily Mail’s article of 05OCT2013, “[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]” brings up for the first time the theory of a burglary gone wrong:

“Madeleine McCann may have been abducted after disturbing burglars in her family’s holiday apartment, Scotland Yard believes.

Detectives think her disappearance could be linked to a series of break-ins at the Portuguese resort from which she vanished, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The burglaries – thought to be the work of a ‘team’ of thieves – happened in the months leading up to Madeleine’s disappearance from the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz in May 2007.

One theory – now being taken seriously by British police – is that burglars panicked after Madeleine awoke from her sleep.

Sources in the Algarve – where the authorities are working closely with Scotland Yard – confirmed yesterday that detectives are investigating a series of thefts from the Ocean Club and elsewhere in Praia da Luz.”

“Scotland Yard says it has "new evidence and new witnesses" in the Madeleine McCann case and has opened a formal investigation into her disappearance.”

SNIPPED TO THIS....

What's clear is SY have been following the burglary gone wrong scenario SINCE 5TH OCTOBER, 2013 and prior to UK Crimewatch.

A burglary gone wrong means that Maddie was not taken asleep from her bed. She had to be fully awake to make the burglary go wrong. To allow for the burglar(s) to panic.

No one was seen or heard carrying a screaming child. A burglary gone wrong means a Maddie killed inside Apartment 5A.

If so, there would be visible evidence.

No visible evidence logically means parents involved.

"What can we expect with the Madeleine McCann case?

We can expect closure, just not the closure most of us want. We can be happy Gonçalo Amaral has been vindicated in a court of law and that a tremendous amount of information about the case is available online and in printed books and DVDs, so that the facts of the case are not swept entirely under the rug, but we are not going to see an arrest and conviction of the people we think are likely responsible for what happened to Maddie.

What we can't expect, and what has been evident since the day Scotland Yard set foot on Portuguese soil with a remit to investigate an abduction as opposed to all the evidence in the case, is that one day there would be closure of a legitimate type. Scotland Yard is finishing up its one line of investigation "worth pursuing" - and it is most likely the three burglars, not the McCanns. By the end of the year, we should have Scotland Yard explaining how they have thoroughly analyzed the case, followed every lead, and the most likely explanation for the disappearance of Maddie McCann was a botched burglary leading to her demise and removal from the apartment, and, unfortunately, there is not enough evidence to take anyone to court; this is known as solving the case "administratively." Of course, because they cannot 100% prove that this is what happened to Maddie, the door is open for the McCanns to say it is still possible for Madeleine to be alive and out there somewhere and, therefore, the fund can continue.

And the winners are: Scotland Yard, who made the best effort possible to solve the crime, and the McCanns who remain free of being charged with said crime. The added bonus for the McCanns is that if Scotland Yard does indeed shut down the case with the botched burglary explanation, this also "proves" Gonçalo Amaral, the Portuguese police, the Portuguese courts, and anyone who has questioned the abduction theory to be incompetent and dead wrong.

The losers are: everyone else - British citizens, Portuguese citizens, truth seekers, and missing children and their families in every country across the world."

Martin Roberts said...
"Succinct and on the money.

It was back in 2010 that the McCanns started bleating about the need for a review of their case, by whichever agency was most equipped to do it, or words to that effect.

It doesn't take an Ivy League Scholar (or an Oxbridge don) to appreciate there is not a snowball's chance in hell the McCanns would have persistently invited Scotland Yard to 'take another look' if it were remotely possibility the investigation might follow a trail to their front door.

Operation Grange was never any more than perceptual wallpaper."

Add to this that SY will undoubtedly say the case is still open but scaled back/shelved/constantly monitored and actively seeking new evidence.

Add also to this that the Portuguese Police will probably not release files as is their norm - you don't get the head of the Crown Prosecution Service on a jaunt to Portugal for nothing!

If they know who snatched her, they would KNOW if they had spoken to him or them already. Total rubbish and a convenient story to wrap up the past 9 years.

It's claimed they have been identified as suspects by British police, but officers are being blocked from accessing them by Portuguese cops who say no new evidence has been brought forward.

This is outrageous.

It is. So is this, considering how the McCanns phone records were treated, or not:

"They are linked by a series of phone calls they made to each other near the McCanns’ apartment around the time she vanished."

So lets dig into the phone records of 3 people despite no fingerprints, hairs, fibers, or DNA--- NO evidence of a intrusion nor burglary whatsoever much less the involvement of these 3 in the non-existent burglary where 'nothing of value was taken', but treat the McCanns with kid gloves? It beggars belief.
