This cottage was claimed to be the registered office of ALPHAIG, which in turn has been deliberately misrepresented by the McCann Team as Dave Edgar and Arthur Cowley's 'Alpha Investigations Group'.

In 2009, media stories erupted about a new crack team of private investigators whom the McCann Team had employed to further their private investigations into Madeleine's disappearance. It was said to be a company called Alpha Investigations Group, and run its 'Head', former Detective Inspector Dave Edgar. This was all untrue.

Look very closely at the picture and among the six vehicles you see here, is a blue van in the background. It bears the legend: 'RACING PIGEONS', and that is indeed how he is known in his group of nine houses called Pant-y-Gof, located in the hamlet of Halkyn, just a mile above the village of Pentre Halkyn.

They call him 'the man with the pigeon lofts'.

No-one in his village seriously thinks he has ever run or even participated an investigations business run from this 950-foot high remote cottage. He's too busy with his pigeons.

Appropriate that, perhaps, for a stool pigeon.

Remember that...

* ALPHAIG nowhere ever publicised any contact details, neither 'phone number, nor e-mail address, nor website address

* 'Alpha Investigations Group' does not exist, and has never existed

* One of Brian Kennedy's business associates registered the domain name 'alphaig.co.uk' in January 2009, five months before Cowley's ALPHAIG was registered

* ALPHAIG was registered as a company only after the 7 May 2009 documentary in which Dave Edgar and Arthur Cowley first came to public notice, and has no assets to speak of and no employees.

This was hilarious. The McCanns private investigation team who Clarence Mitchell described as "A team of crack detectives, The best that there is".

They even tried to copy the name of an established PI company.
