I have to dissent.

Paul certainly had a revelation.

But the difference between Redwood and Paul is that Paul subsequently underwent a conversion.

He changed his name from Saul to Paul to symbolise his conversion.

ETA: There have been at least two (alleged) visions in this case.

One experienced by Dr Gerald McCann after going to church soon after he and his wife reported Madeleine missing.

And one by Marcos Aragao Corriea, the lawyer hired by the McCanns to prosecute Goncalo Amaral and four others on behalf of murderess-of-her-own-daughter Leonor Cipriano. He said he had a vision on Saturday 5 May in Madeira, soon after attending his first-ever Spiritualist Church meeting. It was (he says) of a very big man strangling a young blonde girl - his (second) explanation for how he became interested in the Madeleine McCann case (his first explanation having been shown to be an utter pack of lies).

Tony - your memory is excellent.

I forgot about those other revelations.

Seems Andy has already undergone his conversion on the road to Chief Superintendent

At least that's what the sketches made with her information show. I guess this might be to iron out that little discrepancy of how Madeleine was laying in the bed and how she was carried.

What fascinates me about this case is the extraordinary attempts to misinform I have never seen anything like it - brainwashing comes to mind! What on earth are they trying to hide its simply mind blowing. I have to say though that I am absolutely positive that the truth has to come out this case is too big

Hallelujah I've had a revelation moment [waves hands gospel stylee]

Gezza lent his faux Savile Row suit to Andy so he can look ~~as if he knows what he's doing~~ smart for his appearance on ~~the K&G show~~ Crimwatch and Andy lent his Met issue trousers to Gezza so he can look ~~as if he isn't worried about the libel trial/depleted Fund/prospect of arrest etc~~ unconcernedly casual for his and St K8's cosy chat with Kirsty.

A full length shot of Andy will reveal he's wearing what appear to be St K8's cropped trousers and a pair of her sandals with his regulation navy blue socks. What it won't show is the knotted hanky he often wears on his head during his ~~holiday~~ business trips to Portugal yes

Pink lining, lj? It looks ~~flashy~~ crimson or scarlet on my screen but maybe ultra alpha male Gezza is in touch with his ~~gay~~ feminine side. Shall we settle for cerise?

It will all be inaccurate because firstly it has been reconstructed in another place completely and secondly none of the T9 can remember what part of their statements are true or not now.

Thing is it matters not to the millions of people out there who will watch it and be taken in by the whole thing yet again! Most of these people are already being brainwashed by the little advertising clips these past few days. All I can say is I am still at a loss to work out why the newspapers seem to have gone very very quiet for two days. No reporting at all - unless someone can show me otherwise!

Apart from the headline on the Daily Mail online page today (may be on the print but not got it yet!) re Esther McVey!!

It's exactly the same way products are sold by advertising. I am beginning to wonder if sublimal advertising is being used as well - i.e. a split second shot of the pair surrounded by a halo or just a message:
the McCanns are innocent! Give money! Errrm. Lots.

Sublimal advertising sold a lot of icecreams in cinemas I believe, it's supposed to be illegal now but sarcastic

Cinema advertising was used re Madeleine I believe and was removed as it came on prior to a Shrek film and parents objected as it was inappropriate. I've done so much reading this week!

Exactly.

The parents AND Redwood have left Madeleine in the hands of her favourite predatory Pae*** for 6 MONTHS in her Hellish Lair within 10 miles of PdL
until their television slot comes free.

How many parents in the world would do this ?
How many Senior Police officers in the world would do this ?

Is this not Child Cruelty of the most egregious type ?

Either that...

...OR...

both Redwood and his superiors at Britian's premier police force and the producers, editors and presenters of BBC Crimewatch and their superiors at the BBC (ALL OF WHOM HAVE BY NOW BEEN PUT ON THE CLEAREST POSSIBLE - AND PUBLIC - NOTICE ABOUT THE MANY AND VARIED OBJECTIONS TO THIS BROADCAST) know that the whole Hollywood-style 'Crimewatch Special' on Monday is a huge and very expensive load of pure hogwash and utter baloney

by plebgate 12.10.13 10:38

Up until now the media have printed that Maddie was abducted. IMO many of the general public will have thought maybe somebody took Maddie for money, or that a nice couple took her to look after her.

If on Monday the Crimewatch programme mentions/hints that jigsawman is a known paedophile, I think that the very mention of the word could really turn the tide of general public opinion against them.

Maddie was not taken whilst the parents were in the apartment on any day or night, she was taken whilst there were 3 people alone in the apartment and all 3 of those people were under the age of 4 years old. 3 people who would never be able to defend themselves against anything or anyone and I think this appeal/reconstruction is going to bring that home to many, many more people.

Or the couple have now got everything they asked for, review and a crimewatch style reconstruction and can't argue that any case against them will be prejudiced. The BBC and SY have gone to unprecedented lengths to show their account, but it is baloney.

This is all still at the investigation stage. What are the obligations and strategies of a police force when, because the CPS are involved, some kind of charges might be brought in the future against UK citizens?

Something is going on with the drip feed to the media.

The trailer is being touted like a thriller. BBC totally to blame for that.

Ensuring big viewing figures, but why?

Why is this not being shown in the country where the crime was committed?

The police would not put a child at risk for a minute and would ask for media silence while they worked to find and rescue her.

by Woofer 12.10.13 11:25

I could be wrong but I can`t ever see them being brought to trial by jury. There can`t be any eligible jury members in UK that don`t have a strong opinion on this couple. Not sure if Portugal have the jury system.

However, even if they`re never called to court, they will always have the reputation which, ironically, they`ve striven hard to slough off. They will go down in history alongside the Ramsays and the Anthonys. It will permeate to all their family and associates.IMO.

by Cheshire Cat 12.10.13 11:28

We keep hearing about the appeals to tourists who were in Luz at the time Madeleine vanished but it is obvious from the Ocean Club records that there was some kind of medical conference or business meeting going on at the time. As well as other medical professionals there was Mr Weinberger from Enigma Diagnostics (part owned by DSTL - British Ministry of Defence). Additionally, we have identified a financial modeller, financiers, software specialists, pharmaceutical employees. A cast of people that would populate a project team perhaps at the market development stage of it's life-cycle. Nothing sinister in this suggestion, possibly a piece of high-tech medical diagnostic equipment using Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Enigma Diagnostics.
That may have been the primary reason Gerry was there "not here to enjoy myself" - he may have been there as a subject matter expert in MRI in the context of the medical application. Why is this relevant? Because if there was a network of business people at the Ocean Club then this is a significant fact. SY need to be appealing not only to random tourists but also to this network of people who may have been part of a much bigger group.

And of course SY conveniently forgets about PDL locals, you know, people that actually live there. Those people who went out looking for Madeleine trough the night and day. But of course they wouldn't look good on tabloids covers...

I agree now with all this media exposure there will never be a chance of having a trial in the UK.

I would go further than that: I would say that, for British police and the CPS to be justifiably involved there must be a reasonable possibility of bringing charges against someone in a UK court. Unfortunately, abduction (or kidnapping, or however you want to express it) is not one of the crimes that can be prosecuted in the UK if it was committed abroad. Even if Madeleine was abducted and SY found the abductor and he was an English man living in England they still couldn't prosecute him because they wouldn't have the jurisdiction. All they could do would be to ask the Portuguese to prosecute. All of which begs the question, what, exactly, are SY investigating? What was it they found in the review that allowed them to convince the CPS that there was a realistic prospect of bringing a prosecution in the UK? It is because the answer to this question is unknown that I still retain a small, very dim glimmer of hope that justice will prevail.

As far as the police strategy is concerned, it is entirely possible that, having found some evidence of an offence, SY have started their investigation from scratch and are merely following, step by step, the section of the manual that's entitled "How to investigate a reported abduction of a child". We've now reached the stage where it says to do a televised appeal for information. Its entirely possible that SY have the same concerns that many of us do about the parents but they're merely going through the motions because they don't know what else to do and don't yet have enough evidence to charge them. As Peter Mac has asked several times; would a professional police officer really delay for 6 months if he believed that a child was alive? I guess it all boils down to whether you think the Met are professional or corrupt and I'm afraid their history does not encourage me to believe the former.

A reminder of this clip from 2008 (the eve of the 1st anniversary) when at 2.40 they changed from "grieving parents" to "what a hoot this is" in the blink of an eye.
