Could we refer to the "E-fit" picture as the "E-fit UP" picture?

I love this little tit bit from that news article : " However, police are currently unsure how the man might be connected to the case and are appealing for more witnesses to come forward ".

Its probably one that's been dismissed already by the Portuguese Investigation ? Don't you just love it !!!

Umm - this is a holiday resort of course there were people seen near the apartment. Unless they were acting suspiciously - ie trying to break in, or seen carrying off a small child I don't see how on earth this makes them 'suspects'!

Madeleine McCann police have new suspect

A NEW image of a potential suspect for the kidnap of Madeleine McCann could provide a dramatic breakthrough in the case.

What I don't understand is this, and sorry if it's already been discussed and I've missed it.

There is - apparently an e-fit of a completely new suspect, witness, somebody hanging about somewhere near 5A at a time which SY think is relevant.

IF (and we don't know yet) the implication is that this person could be (drum roll) THE ABDUCTOR, then where does that leave Jane Tanner's story of a man (or, lest we forget, a woman) carrying a bundle/child/Maddie in the distinctive pyjamas she was definitely wearing that night away from 5A?

And IF Jane Tanner's story has been discounted in favour of e-fit story, then where does that leave Jane Tanner?

She was "mistaken"?

She was hallucinating?

She saw a ghost?

She - (whisper it) lied?

Lot of questions raised, no?

Quite apart, of course, from the ones about how e-fit man climbed out of the window carrying a child. And many others.

SallyPelt, if SY can conclusively prove that the McCanns have/had no knowledge at all of what happened to Madeleine, I'll eat my hat. But unfortunately, unlike Portugal, police files aren't made public in the UK, are they?

And it's very difficult to prove a negative, so they will have to come up with conclusive proof that there was indeed an abduction, if that's the way the wind is blowing.

Based on the many and differing descriptions of suspicious characters hanging around 5a it must have been more like Piccadilly Circus. Cigarette man, creepy man, egg man, George Harrison, this new smart one, the mysterious blond man, the one with the van, Murat or Murat double, the list gets longer all the time.
Is there a little list of people who can easily be missed?

They'll have to come up with a time and location for this individual so we'll be able to check the files to see who else was there at that time and place.

Good post Nobodythere.

I was also thinking that, having read the report from the Daily Express that the SY called it an Appeal could it be possible that the SY have in fact been pretty canny? No shouting at me please - I know, I know:smilie: , but I am trying to be optimistic. I will welcome being "shot down" so to speak as who knows what questions arise from debate.

A Crimewatch prog. with both parents there, giving a direct appeal to the abductor - will they have body language experts watching the parents whilst this is going on?

Maybe this appeal is the only way SY could get the parents in front of a camera with - a new suspect? We read that this was at the request of SY, but who knows?

We did read that the parents turned down a request for them to take part in the reconstruction, but of course this might just be made up report, but if it is the case that would not have gone down well imo.

Until we know for sure whether this is an appeal and not an appeal with reconstruction(not just of man outside building) I will keep my open mind hat on and will soon find out.

If there is another case to be aired on the same show, I can't see how there will be time for an indepth recon. anyway.

It's not at all surprising that the McCanns' have sought to up the ante over the past few weeks and it's going to get a whole worse before it gets better - but, for FFS, what is the Express thinking of by allowing itself to be used to transmit a threat of this nature to the DEFENDANT in a trial which has been initiated and pursued by the McCanns?

So the BBC's 'coverage' of Madeleine's 'case', on 14th October, 2013, will also be, BEYOND doubt, "FAIR, BALANCED and IMPARTIAL"

Won't it?

They've had a long time to perfect their act. As they're always insisting Madeleine is still alive, I'd like to see them speak directly to her which is something they never do.

And offer the 'abductor' directly on TV, EVERYTHING they own, except the twins, and if that's not enough everything their families OWN in exchange for Madeleine.

We've got really good "substantive evidence" but we are going to wait, so that Madeleine can be raped and abused a few more times before 14th
She wil be used to it by now, so she probably won't mind . . .

CAN THIS REALLY BE THE ACTION OF A PROFESSIONAL POLICE OFFICER AND LOVING PARENTS ?

No.....unless the police know that she's no longer alive and also have a good idea of the identity/identities of the culprit(s). That's the only option that makes sense to me.

In common with all right-minded parents, if my child (god forbid) were to be abducted I'd crawl naked on broken glass, walk through a fiery furnace, and give everything I own to get her back - and I'd sacrifice my life for hers any day.

The McCanns could so easily have got away with it scot (no pun intended) free... they aren't as clever as they, and some others, seem to think. It ain't over till the fat lady sings and she still in the dressing room.

Were it not for the inclusion of "loving parents" I would agree that PeteMac is initimating that all might not be as it appears. However as he has bracketed both police and parents I suspect that he is railing against the ineffectiveness of both
