Interesting. I had more or less concluded that the photo was fake/manipulated.

I'm thinking of buying the book, but wondering when I'll have time to read it.

What was the Mirage?

by crusader 11.06.24 18:06

I'm surprised the FD thinks the makeup photo was taken in Praia da Luz and by all accounts, the owners of the villa must be known to the McCanns.
If true, and I hope it's not, it's sending me somewhere I wasn't prepared to go.

From who was the makeup photo obtained?

Seems that there was another couple who owned a property near the Mirage at the back of the complex. He seems to think that this is where the make up photo was taken.

Blood on the car key? I didn't realise this before. I can understand cadaver odour on the key but blood? unless it was dried blood from carrying her into or out of the car.

by crusader 11.06.24 20:08

It could also have been from a mechanic who had cut himself.

it was first seen (and only, as far as I am aware) on the video which was made by Jon Corner, friend of the McCanns and Godfather to the twins about three years after madeleine disappeared.

Thank you deepeepee. So, it was published by one of the McCanns own as it were.

The blood was analysed, it was G's.
But the car key could also have smelt cadaver scent from having been in K's check pants' pocket or G's beige trousers' one.

Just been reading a thread about the make-up photo where you utterly refute he idea of paedophilia!

Ben Salmon posted where he thought the photo was taken - post #378:

Google translate or DeepL gives this

DeepL.com. and. google translate are free

I suspect the books are batch printed once the orders come in

by Honesty 12.06.24 7:04

Frustrating, but hopefully an indication that it's in high demand.

by Paddingtom 12.06.24 7:14

Thankyou PeterMac for the translation. much appreciated.

Crusader wont like this!!!

by crusader 12.06.24 7:32

I haven't had an email so I'm hoping mine has been sent out.

by Cake Lover 12.06.24 8:48

If the books are being batch published, which I wondered may be the case, it looks as though there are not many orders.

by crusader 12.06.24 8:55

It might just be the English version that's being batch published.
It's just my luck, mine will turn up in Portuguese.

by Cake Lover 12.06.24 9:06

You may be well be right, but I would have thought that the English speaking orders would be the greatest - the McCann's being British. I feel a bit uneasy about it now.

Finally recieved my copy!
I was tempted to go straight to the last section but refrained. I’m reading every word, starting at the very beginning.
I’m about a fifth of the way thru and believe it really is worth reading it cover to cover. There is meaning in everything he chooses to do. The explanation of the front cover is poignant and beautiful. The dedications are moving.
So onto the first section. As we know the Tapas9 statements are crazy and it’s easy to understand why they refused a reenactment, it simply wouldn’t be possible. As we also know the statements were forever changing. Stellander has undertaken to look at each of the statements of the key players and to explore each permutation of the variations. Thus concluding where each route ends and as you can imagine the number of routes are endless. That is one brave man! He is speaking to you, the reader and apologises for how trawling a read it is but encourages you to continue. Indeed he makes it a surprisingly enjoyable read. I am only on that first section, he is just bringing the checking system to a close so I can only share my views up to this point.
