I've been thinking this for a while... 2012 will be McCanns 'Annus Horriblis'...

We need to think positive. Positive thoughts bring positive results (sounds New Age-y and hokum, but it works)

Go Pat!

Search for Madeleine continues
Updated: 09-Feb-2012

British newspapers have reported that the cost of Scotland Yard’s investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is set to reach £2 million, with the bill being picked up by the UK’s Home Office.

The force’s homicide squad is examining the case after Prime Minister David Cameron called them in last May at the request of Madeleine’s parents, Gerry and Kate.

A spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann said: “They have always been very appreciative of the time and resources that the British police and Home Office have committed to the search for Madeleine and they are grateful that the review is ongoing.”

Meanwhile, American crime profiler Pat Brown arrived in the Algarve on February 6 to “search for locations” where missing Madeleine might be.

Writing on her blog, she said: “I plan to survey the area and then reanalyse the crime based on what I learn. Then, I plan to search in locations I believe Maddie may be.

“I can accomplish the first part of the plan within 10 days. The second part is unlikely to be fully accomplished and may require my return to Portugal if I think another search has merit.”

Although Pat Brown does not believe the odds are great in finding Madeleine on her trip, she hopes to increase her knowledge of what exactly did happen on the evening of Madeleine’s disappearance, in order to unearth information that could move the case forward.

She states online that she will be updating her findings as and when she can.

For more information about Pat Brown and what she believes has happened to Madeleine, please see: http://patbrownprofiling.blogspot.com

Thanks jd

How did you do that. I kept getting a box come up saying name of co. that owns the paper I think, and it wouldn't let me copy!

There are various ways Candyfloss, some work some don't depending on the encoding but normally save as a PDF and copy the text into Word...or if this doesn't work there is software which converts the PDF into a Word doc, which from here you can copy and paste the text into websites. An OCR software reader works too but I only use this route as a last resort

Ok, thanks jd, bit too complicated for me Wonder if other Portuguese papers will now pick up on this story, and then maybe the Brit ones will follow - bit of a tall order I know.

Nice....very nice indeed! Tony should be there too

I have to laugh - if Carter Ruck had not had Pat's book pulled from Amazon I suspect that she would not have gone to Portugal and met up with Amaral, or maybe not quite so soon. So I think they have scored something of an own goal there.

What a lovely picture this should make the McCanns :bad:

What a fantastic picture that is.

Two amazing people, side by side. Both dedicated to catching criminals. Both dedicated to helping Madeleine.

There's something very fishy about all of this

Isn't there just. Cod only knows how it will all turn out. Now that Pat has gone to the plaice where it happened, and met Amaral, I'm sure 'eel fill her in on some more detail. I really hope that the locals treat her well and don't kipper waiting for the extra info. Perhaps the lure of meeting a famous Profiler will be just the right bait, and then she can reel in the extra details. She'll Winkle the ruth out as long as they don't all clam up. Dab hand at fishing for facts! The net is closing, they'll all be singing a different tuna soon.

Arrived in Praia da Luz on Saturday. Busy, busy with the crime reconstruction. First results will be posted on my blog tomorrow. #McCann

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words" First crime scene analysis blog post at The Daily Profiler http://patbrownprofiling.blogspot.com/2012/02/criminal-profiling-topic-of-day-picture.html #McCann

“Martha? I’m stepping out on the balcony for a smoke. Hey, Martha, come here! What the hell is that man doing at that window? You see right there? He’s busting in the window? Martha, go call the police! Hey, he’s crawling in flat….must be planning to steal…oh, my god, Martha! Tell the police he’s carrying out a child! I’m running downstairs! Maybe I can stop him!”

Yes, you are looking at Apartment 5A, the very apartment the McCanns were renting on May 3rd, 2007. The time is 10 pm on February 12, 2012. The photo was taken from the third floor of the building across the street. There was some shrubbery along the left wall of the parking lot that has been removed but the view of the McCanns door and window would not have been obscured. The lights on the buildings and in the streets turn the building into a veritable fishbowl. What idiot would think breaking in the window at Apartment 5A or carrying a child out of that window or even the door next to it would be a terribly bright idea? One thing kidnappers know is there are enough human fish in the sea that one doesn’t have to abduct someone under such risky conditions.

The next picture shows the front side of the apartment building with close-up of the window of Apartment 5A. I am standing in the doorway. Can you see how bright it is at night?

This picture shows the corner where Jane Tanner sees a man cross the street coming from the apartment, child in his outstretched hands. If you were an abductor, would you be comfortable choosing to walk out in the open, across the well-light street with three people on it? Would you at least think walking the other direction hugging the wall might be a bit smarter, maybe cut down your chances of being seen?

Robert Murat, the only other Arguido (suspect) in the case, lived on a couple blocks down the way in the direction Jane Tanner claimed the man carrying a child was walking. But, Robert Murat was a known individual in town and many people in Praia da Luz own places here or rent for a long period of time and return year after year. Would someone who knows people might recognize him walk down well-lit streets - his facetotally exposed – straight to his own house? He would have to have an IQ far below 70 to think this would be clever.

If anyone took a child from the apartment, it would be smarter to walk the opposite way of the man Jane Tanner claims to have seen. Here you can see the wall I just mentioned that he could walk very close to and be out of sight of anyone looking down from the tall apartment building across the street. Even more intelligent would be for an abductor to leave the back of the apartment by the sliding glass doors and hurry down the enclosed path which leads up to the parking area at the front of the apartment and go out at the end of the street and onward to the darker end of the road. It is exactly this path that leads to the Smith sighting.

Praia da Luz is a very cozy, brightly lit, off-the-main road very small and charming resort town. No sex ring is going to choose this location to target children. A child sex predator might lurk about here but he would be wiser abducting a child from the outskirts of the town or in pretty much any other nearby village. There are some darker side streets further to the edge of the town that a predator or someone carrying a child would be a bit less visible . Apartment 5A would rank pretty much at the bottom of any abductor’s list of places to grab a kid. The only reason someone would remove a child from 5A would be of necessity. Then he would never take the route Jane Tanner claimed she saw the man carrying a child.

More on the most likely route one would take to carry Madeleine from Apartment 5A in my next blog.

New thread started on the topic of 5a from Pat Brown

Oops wrong thread.

We seem to have a duplicate thread on this now Candyfloss! Think we were both posting at the same time, only you have the advantage being a mod

Sorry jd, couldn't post on this thread and some others earlier on, couldn't even get in to read the latest posts. Apparently it was a problem with forumotion. So I started new thread in case others were having the same problem.

I was feeling excited about the new information from Pat. The view to apartment 5a from the 3rd floor in the lighting!!!

I'm glad that wasn't just my computer then; I couldn't access any topics on which I've previously contributed, I thought somebody was trying to tell me something!
