Madeleine Suspects 'Not Fully Investigated'

Some suspects identified by Scotland Yard in the hunt for Madeleine McCann have been questioned before but not investigated fully.

Madeleine Suspects 'Not Fully Investigated' 15566317-522x293
Madeleine was almost four when she went missing

By Martin Brunt, Crime Correspondent, Praia da Luz, Portugal

Known paedophiles, holidaymakers and Ocean Club staff are thought to be among the dozen suspects identified in a Scotland Yard review of the Madeleine McCann case.

Some of them at least have been questioned in the original Portuguese police investigation, but dismissed without being fully investigated.

A source said: "British detectives on the McCann review have had major problems because the Portuguese police did not record reasons for not pursuing leads.

"They would just record 'no further action' without any explanation or justification."

The apartment building where Madeleine disappeared

Another source said that cell-site analysis of suspects' mobile phones, which is standard practice in all crime cases, was not done fully.

That may have allowed Madeleine's abductor to avoid arrest.

Scotland Yard believes it has unearthed enough clues to justify the Portuguese authorities re-opening their investigation, which was abandoned 15 months after Madeleine vanished.

Portugal's new Attorney-General Joana Marques Vidal has so far refused to do so, but as a lawyer who specialises in child protection, she may eventually be more willing than her predecessor.

Madeleine disappeared from the bedroom of the ground floor apartment she was sharing with her brother and sister Sean and Amelie, who are twins, on the evening of May 3, 2007.

It was just days before her fourth birthday.

Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, had been enjoying a holiday meal with friends at a tapas restaurant just 130 yards away in the resort of Praia da Luz.

Reading between the lines, there is a lot in this report that I agree with.

http://news.sky.com/story/1093048/madeleine-suspects-not-fully-investigated

Known paedophiles
Holidaymakers
Telephone records not fully investigated (not forwarded from UK?)
Suspects questioned but not fully investigated (no reasons given, but we know that much information was withheld)


And, we have a new Attorney General who may be willing to get the case re-opened

Alongside this article we have the timeline below.


Note: The timeline is incorrect in stating that Tony Bennett suggested that the McCanns may be guilty of causing Madeleine's death. Tony has NEVER made such an allegation.

Here is a timeline of the key events since Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

Depending how you interpret Martin Brunt's article - known paedophiles etc - can also mean read to mean MET are looking at abduction theory.

It's hard to discern from that ambiguous piece of reporting which way inclined are the MET.

The Met are really saying very little and we also have an element of media manipulation, as usual.

We must also remember that the case in Portugal remains closed. The McCanns really wanted the PJ to run the investigation to suit their own agenda, this was never going to happen and the case was just closed. If the new AG was able to re-open the case, would she be doing so on behalf of the McCanns? how could she influence the case? Or, would this be a genuine re-opening of the case where the PJ are left alone to investigate the case as they see fit? Will the British authorities now provide the documents that the PJ requested in 2007?

Something is certainly happening here, but what?

Good question. I can imagine the Yard would have such information and use it in their investigation.

I would hope that the PJ would flat out refuse to reopen the case until they receive the documents they requested back in 2007.

Indeed.
The wording in the report I saw in the Times was ambiguous, hopefully deliberately, and I noticed that the word used was 'disappearance' instead of 'abduction'.
I hope the Portugese authorities make tough condition for any re-opening of the case - starting with an insistence that the Tapas lot return for the re-enactment and are rigorously questioned.

Press reports seemed to have calmed down a little bit on the abduction scenario.

We had the "Bring them all back to Portugal" article.

The McCanns seem to have lost their smiles

Kate darted off to Portugal two weeks ago

We have a new Attorney General

Cameron is under pressure and losing power. Theresa May didn't want this review in the first place, it was only down to Rebekah Brooks "persuading" Cameron to start one.

Put all of that together and at least we have hope

Well, without saying too much, some of the holidaymakers who were at the OC could be known paedophiles to the British authorities but not the public.

It omits the Lisbon court showdown where the "Rainbow Report" was made public for the first time. Brunt was there as well.

He has said that in a couple of interviews. To paraphrase, in that context, he has said that he is certain Madeleine died in 5A.

Kate's pre-announcement visit, and Brunt's post announcement visit may indeed have some significance.
Hopefully the MET is playing the blinder and something is happening behind the scenes.

IMO they have the records, but cannot use them in evidence. If true that must be frustrating. However, on the basis of that knowledge, together, hopefully they can unearth other evidence. I still have good hopes for a solution to this case.

I still hope for a good outcome for justice for Madeleine, but I have this nagging doubt.

The apparent protection given to the parents over the past 6 years, linked to political intervention and even Masonic support makes them feel 'untouchable'; when it comes to allowing the truth to be made known openly to the world and a proper trial held to establish guilt (even if it is just for child neglect/abuse) I am still very sceptical.

Still - we must stay positive! Thank goodness for the internet, without which we would never know what we do now.

[As a newbie, may I give a huge thank you to Hi-de-ho for the videos - I think I have seen every one over the years!]

They did seem untouchable, but after Jimmy Savile, I think the 'untouchablility' is breaking down - and particularly now that there have been recent high profile cases of child deaths caused by parents (Philpot) and parents' friends (Tia Sharpe) the public will be less surprised if TM turn out to be implicated.

Yes I am certain he has said something like this. I think around the time of the original banning of the book when he was being slated here, there and everywhere, he had much more to tell.

There was a documentary on BBC1 last night about how the Hillsborough tragedy was covered up for 24 years by police officers, politicians, lawyers and judges...how they all played a part in burying the truth.

This story both confirms kate's words about someone coming in the night before but simultaneously wrecks their version of checking. I can't see how they can respond to this - snookered springs to mind.
