New video - McCANNS FACED POSSIBLE CHARGES OF MURDER AND CHILD TRAFFICKING

Lisbon Court Jan 12 2010
Jose Magalhaes e Menezes the attorney who was in charge of the original inqury into Madeleine's disappearance,

He says that the decision to make the McCanns 'arguidos' - suspects - was taken by the police and then confirmed by the public attorney.

There were several possible charges that could have been brought against the McCanns: kidnapping and selling a child were among them.

This is intriguing - what evidence would have formed the basis of a child trafficking charge? That would suggest she did indeed leave the apartment alive?!

I believe it was just one possibility considered by the PJ. Standard policing for an investigation to pursue every avenue - even the most unlikely. They also considered the possibility that Madeleine wandered off, as they considered the possibility Madeleine wasn't the biological child of both parents, so could have been abducted by a biological parent.

The possibilities are manifold at the start of any investigation such as this, it's the function of the police to eliminate the possibilities one by one. It's the process of elimination, more pronounced in the absence of evidence as in the case of Madeleine's disappearance.

They certainly considered she had wandered off as did a lot of the local people and those from nearby villages who scoured the area for her, searching drains, empty properties, ditches and any other place where a child could have fallen or hidden......it was a pretty extensive search and no trace was found. They were also stopping people who had fair haired children of a similar age, a couple we spoke to in a cafe had taken to carrying their daughters passport around they had been stopped so often

PJ Final Report - 30th June 2008

The investigation, during more than 13 months, followed all the credible indices related to different hypotheses and, in an impartial manner, continued to analyse, correlate and synthesize them, looking for an explanation for the happenings of the night of 3 May 2007.

Assuming that the minor's disappearance was due to the acts of third parties, the PJ explored various lines of investigation, not excluding any hypothesis considered plausible or hypothetically acceptable.

From the documentation, you will observe that during the investigation various possibilities were contemplated.

As such, consider:

1. abduction, for sexual exploration or other (e.g, later adoption, child trafficking, organ trafficking), without homicide;

2. abduction, followed by homicide with (or without) hiding of the corpse;

3. accidental death, with later hiding of the corpse;

pages 7 and 8

The Hypothesis 1 and 2 were considered in the double notion of the illicit of abduction (if that happened) that could have had occurred due to feelings of revenge by the
Kidnapper(s) towards the parents (intended abduction) or by taking merely the opportunity of the child being at a vulnerable situation (opportunity abduction).

As a remote hypothesis, the possibility of the minor leaving the apartment by her own means was explored – that would be highly unlikely physically – and after, because of an accident or by a third person intervention, she would have disappeared.

Par for the course.
