Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
'Madeleine McCann could not have died from an accident, nor from anything else, after 5.30pm on Thursday 3 May 2007' is an important subject of research, a pivotal evidenced study that has led CMOMM and the MMRG to where we stand today.
Discussion on the subject of 'cremation' can continue here.

by [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Today at 12:22Thanks for that info on crematoria. Looking back on my previous entries I see that it was Goncalo Amaral who brought up the subject of an elderly lady's coffin laying in Luz Church overnight. He indicated that it was going to be sent for cremation the next day - to Ferreira do Alentejo. I assumed that this would be close by but I see that it is actually over 200km due north...
Thank you also for trying to help me find the original source for the Hernâni Carvalho/Paulo Sargento interview. As you've no doubt seen
at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], Verdi's skills were far better than mine. The odd thing with that interview is that they admit that the quoted dates are wrong [in 2nd para and state that the reasons can be found below] but there's nothing below to explain this error! Obviously, "2010" is way out but everything else in the interview still appears relevant to 2007.

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
11,229 Kilometres run up
8,6 Litres per 100 Km
11,229 divided by 100 equals 112.29 times 8,6 equals 965.7 Litres of Fuel
Fuel prices 2007 Super €1.118 /L Diesel €0,86 /L
€1, 079.65 Super
€830.50 Diesel
So my question is;
Did the McCanns actually pay that much for Fuel, or was the Distance run up by some other means?
A full tank in the Scenic has a Capacity of 60 litres.
They would have had to Refuel at least 16 times to cover that distance.
So how many times did they Refuel and where?
Or was the Mileage added by some other mechanical or electrical means?

We know from Crispbee's analysis of the ocean Club room booking sheets in the PJ files that they were falsified (use of OCR, copy n paste) - to mendaciously confuse and create a false evidence trail and hide guests.

I would suggest that a similar scrutiny of the car booking sheets could well also show a form of mendacious falsification.
me thinks it was the work of Mi5.

Gearbox Manual / Automatic?
11,229 Kms
5.1 L / 100 Kms - 572.68 Litres €492.50
7.1 L/ 100 Kms - 797.26 Litres €685.64
60 Litre tank range per Tankful between 845.07 to 1176.47Kms
That would be 9.5 to 13 Tankfuls depending on load and driving style.
Here is the known distances travelled below:

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
Considering the general consensus of opinion, that the mileage clocked-up by the Renault Scenic hired in the name of Gerry McCann with two additional named drivers - Sandy Cameron and Michael Wright, is very high for a period of four months, if any adjustment was to be made to the recorded mileage, wouldn't it have been more sensible to disconnect the speedo (not Gerry McCann's swimwear I hasten to add) rather than MI5 or some other source increasing the recorded mileage count?
I venture to suggest it proves nothing to calculate the cost of fuel, where the vehicle was refuelled or by whom - if it were even possible.
As for manufacturing faults with the particular make and model of car and the particular period of manufacture .
The car hire details, copies of the contract documents, before the McCanns hire and after, are all recorded in the PJ files.

Surely the suggestion here is not that the car rental company 'were in on it'!?!
This subject is in danger of going off the beaten track - let's not go down that cul-de-sac again.
The PJ thoroughly investigated the car hire as can be seen by the documented files.

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
If the Vehicle was used as suspected to transport the body of Madeleine to any location, it must have happened before the Dogs inspection on 06.08.07 at 15:17 or the Cadaver odour would not have been detected.
The Vehicle had then at that point covered not 11,229 Kms but just 2,752 Kms.
The Kilometres driven between the start of the Hire period and the Dogs inspection narrow down the search area for a body considerably.
If Madeleine died in PDL and was transported as suspected in the Hire car, and you wanted to cover your tracks you could hide the distance travelled in several ways. But this did not happen.
They had to add to the Kilometres driven because if they had tried to disconnect or change the Kilometre level it would have left a trace.

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
I have looked at the car rental bookings and analysed the PJ files via simple EXCEL, with a noted PJ page reference. See enclosed jpeg.
As stated earlier, like the hotel booking, the hire of the Renault Scenic does not make logical sense and has a mendacious aspect of falsification, as outlined below, when consideration is made of computerized systems.
General
The Renault Grand Scenic 1.5 Dci 7L/X1, registration 59-DA-27 was rented out from new by Budget Portugal from 10th March 2007 with 11km on the clock. It started life at AS Faro Airport, then moved to location AS Praia da Rocha, then finally AS Lagos. It was returned to Budget on 23rd September 2007 after 213 hire days, showing 11329km on the odometer (aka the clock)
A unique contract ID is issued sequentially, with a 3 part Budget branded contract rental form printed in 3 parts; white original, yellow duplicado and pink triplicado, which are then scanned and recorded in the PJ files.
The renter naming format is; surname then christian name. They also record the driving licence. A 2nd driver is also added, when required.
The renter address is recorded, but is usually redacted, with the UK recorded in the European format (not in Ingalterra, Portuguese)
Various customer names, Budget car reservation class bookings and customer booking codes (assumed to be the rate card) are used on the mainframe booking system, as is the norm for car rentals.
Finally, A car is normally handed over and back with a full tank of fuel, with the time of handover and handback recorded in hours/minutes format (often using a handheld ODB code reader)
My Not OK observations from the simple PJ file analysis are as follows:
1. NOK1 – Ref PJ P.2962. The car had a magic mileage jump from 823km to 4099km on 25th March 2007, when KA Walkden of the UK hired the car at 1018 hrs at Faro airport, after its return at 0832 hrs that day with 823km when returned by JG Patterson. We also note the missing Budget yellow duplicado form. Walkden had it for 7 days, driving 846 km, handing it back with 4945 km on the 1st April at 0832hrs, at the airport. NB Walkden, apart form being a golfer has a Leicestershire based inflatable business.....
This mileage jump should not happen.
2. NOK2 – Ref PJ P.2929- On the 2nd April, the car had 4000km erased from its clock, for when RA Lowes of the UK hired it at 1130hrs with 945km on the clock. He had it for 10 days, running 221km.
This mileage deletion should not have happened and the clocking would be illegal.
3. NOK3 – Ref PJ P.2909. On the 23rd May 2007, McCann Gerald of Inglaterra hired it in AS Lagos at 1230hrs with 3114km, with Michael Wright as 2nd driver and 7/8th tank of fuel. He had it for 7 days and managed a nice ‘round’ mileage of 750km, with 3864km recorded.
The hire was then extended for AS Lagos by Zenith rent a car (Budget UK head office) for McCann and Wright on the 27th May with 3864km on the clock. They managed to drive a perfect ‘round’ 2000km in 30 days until 3rd July with 5864km recorded
· It is noteworthy that his country of origin is now Inglaterra and not UK
Perfect round mileages are not driveable and thus not believable
4. NOK4 – Ref PJ P.2912. McCann Gerald re-hires it in AS Lagos (Ocean club) on 3rd July at 1230hrs with 5864km on the clock. There is no return date or check in
A car hire should have a return check in
He managed zero recorded mileage. An oversight?
A car rental contract must show IN and OUT details
5. NOK5 – Ref PJ P.2915. DR Gerald P. MC Cann of Inglaterra rehires it in AS Lagos on 2nd August with 5865km on the clock and keeps it for 30 days, with a return on 1st September with 5866km – just 1 km magically travelled in a month.
· His name has changed to reverse format. This name reversal cannot happen with mainframe computer coding
· The Budget branding has disappeared on the hire forms
· There is no recognition of white original, yellow duplicado and pink triplicado text on the 3 part forms
Is this a falsified record?
6. NOK6 – Ref PJ P.2918 DR Gerald P. MC Cann of Inglaterra with Michael Wright rehire it in AS Lagos on 1st September with 5866km on the clock. There is no return date or check in. He keeps it for just 22 days, as Renault insist on its return. It’s recorded mileage on the 23rd September is 14443 km. McCann has driven 11329 km in 141 days.
· The McCann name is changed to reverse format. This name reversal cannot happen with mainframe computer coding
· The Budget branding has disappeared on the hire forms
· There is no recognition of white original, yellow duplicado and pink triplicado text on the 3 part forms
· A car hire should have a return check in
Is this a falsified record?
7. NOK7 – The return mileage recorded is 11329km in the 213 days, but analysis of the individual rental sheets shows a total of 15047 km. We have a gap of 3718km
Are there falsified car rental mileage records?
Again I propose that OCR scanning may work some of the time on outputs to present a 'nice' picture , but the main computer database cannot be easily compromised

Readers may wish to critique the methodology and add observations, such as observed landmarks when the car was seen in use on videos

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
Well done indeed!
If it can be proved physically impossible that they did not have either the time, money or range to complete all the “extra” Kilometres after the Dogs inspection remains the question?
The Spanish Police had already told the PJ that they were observed in places where they had no good reason to be. Where these places were, and how far apart is not public knowledge as far as I am aware.
I have done some researching on present day Computer software relating to geography and crime scene mapping. It is entirely possible to calculate with such programs possible routes and destinations.
I have a few other possibilities that I have shared with other Members by PM, they may become even more definitive thanks to your work.
Well done Cammerigal!

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
I don't believe Madeleine was transported in the car weeks after her death. Who in the the name of sanity would transport a dead and decaying child from one place to another in the boot of their car.
What kind of parents could cope with seeing their child dead and wrapped in a plastic bag in their boot.
I believe the signals given by the dogs was proof that the McCann's had been in contact with a dead Madeleine. The signals given by the dogs don't give a date when they had contact with a dead body, they just signal that they detect blood/cadaver.
If Madeleine had been in the boot of the car, the whole floor of the boot would have been a signal instead of one small area.
They also signalled the key that was in the door pocket, not once but 3 times. That key had been handled by numerous people.

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
In regard to the body being transported in the car, I don't think we can pick and choose when and where the dogs got it right, however, unpaletable the very thought might be. If, as you suggest, Crusader the dog's alerts only 'serve as proof that the McCann's had been in contact with a dead Madeleine,' then the alerts would not be confined to the boot, and would be in the cabin of the car on the seats too if this was the case. People do not ordinarily ride around in the boot of cars unless fitted with seats which I don't believe this car was. The alert in the boot was because the dog alerted to the presence of a body having been placed there. I trust the dogs 100% on this.

The double rear seats in the Boot area can either be folded down, but not flat, or removed.
Here is a similar vehicle for comparison.

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
The history of the Renault Scenic hire was thoroughly investigated by the PJ, there was no evidence to suggest any of the previous drivers had any connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Yet here the hire prior to the McCanns taking possession is being scrutinized. For what reason?
Why would the car hire company be complicit in some sort of deception, be it relevant to the police investigation or not? Who really cares? If the hire company was up to some sort of scam then that's an issue for the police but I fail to see how it relates in any way to the case of Madeleine McCann.
As regards the McCanns period of hire, you would need to know how the company operates before embarking on a super sleuth exercise. For example, I know a bloke who manages a 'reputable' car hire firm in a tourist district. He borrows cars on their books for his own personal use. In addition I once hired a car on renewable basis, I wasn't required to take the car back for a mileage check or inspection of any sort, it was just a case of visiting the office to extend the contract.
Of course, if the car is hired on a limited mileage basis then any excess mileage would be charged - I can't say for certain but if hired on unlimited mileage, the company might have something to say about excessive mileage. They ain't in business for fun!
As I say, you need to know about how they manage their agency otherwise it's a wasted effort trying to find something that just ain't there to be found.
If anyone thinks they are going to map out every trip made by the Renault Scenic, who was driving, where they refueled, how many litres they stuck in the tank, I fear you are heading for an epic failure. I can't even see why it matters.
Still, happy hunting!
The thread appears to be going way off topic.

The thread appears to be going way off topic.
The simple rental analysis, under the lens of IT systems practice points to inconsistencies and potential deception, but not by Budget per se, as their business model is highly dependant upon accurate recording of distance travelled and charging for any excess kms.
Specifically, logical data gaps point to the potential of a cover up, which I do believe is part of the exam question, on this very thread.
Verdi, you may kindly wish to consider creating a new car rental thread to support further sleuthing by those who wish to hunt this one down and thus allow this thread to better revert to your preferred topic scope.

You do know that manufacturing specifications differ according to the country of manufacture and the target consumer - don't you?
Not that I see an relevance here.

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
I posted the above Video essentially for the benefit of Miffy8 who had questioned the rear seat arrangement in the boot area.
As well as showing the Instrument panel for the benefit of anyone else.
The Dogs inspection Video was not exactly HD quality.
Of course I knew it is not EXACTLY the same car. It was only for showing how the Instruments and Seats look like.
In view of the amount of information that Cammerigal has uncovered, how could the anyone explain Renting a car for a whole month and driving exactly 1Km in it? Or maybe filling it up 2-3 times?
Let alone the amount of places the car was possibly seen to be in that time?
I think the PJ were hampered in their investigation by the technology in 2007, and it has taken £13m and 13 years to find one telephone call from CB?
Sorting out such a small amount of Data in comparison to a Cell tower dump could be easier with a group effort perhaps?
The Forum could be in a position to assist three Police forces in narrowing down the Areas where they could find a body if that is what the reported discussion in Lisbon is about. There are different Software packages available today that were not around then. But they would need feeding with Data in order to work.
It did not take Cammerigal two days to find out that they probably never physically drove the distance in that vehicle. How long would it take to prove it? All it would take is to find out where it was at different times. There are things in this investigation that cannot lie, Dr. Amaral was rightly upset about the Video camera, most Members agree the Dogs are not liars, I think that the Maths cannot lie either.
That must be relevant to any investigation surely?

Re: Leave No Stone Unturned
And I don't even have to imagine the expression on GM's face when he knows that some people believe there is a body actually waiting to be found. Sneer and scorn. Most of us on this forum do not believe there is a body to be found although we agree that there is a dead child.
The McCanns know how Madeleine died and they know what happened to Madeleine's body. Don't we first need to know how Madeleine died...
There are lots of clues in the forensics - not only the dogs that detected cadaverine and blood (two dogs, one a blood specialist, the other a cadaverine specialist) at multiple sites (apartment, car, clothes in villa) but also the tiny splattering of bodily fluid on the walls and curtains in the apartment and blood under a tile.
I wonder how this would have all played out if the McCanns had not been given access to the police files.
