I thought that too DonNewbery, until I saw the ST today.@DonNewbery wrote:I don't think you've interpreted this quite correctly. This whole exercise, surely, has been designed by SY (in coordination with PJ) to put maximum pressure on the McCs, in the hopes that one of them will crack, or failing that, they'll make even more foolish and incriminating mistakes. It also puts indirect pressure on T7 etc. iikewise to spill the beans.@Monty Heck wrote:... SY may well want to keep the McCs onside but putting out information on national and European tv that is claimed to be new seems to serve no purpose other than to protect the McC's reputation which is probably stretching keeping them onside quite a bit. Following them around Europe with the same misinformation as part of some clever ruse or long game seems a rather ridiculous waste of effort and resources IMO, but time will tell as always. Thanks to people who posted their agreement with this view, and also to anyone who disagreed for taking time to explain why. What a dull forum it would be if all we did was agree with one another!
I cannot see how SY can claim they turned up new information and used the original e-fits too. There may be another side to the story, but as things stand, my patience with AR is running out. I think the benchmark behaviour was from that Philpott police officer. A professional distance is all that's required.

True, that would be very telling. I don't expect it myself any time soon. But - one can hope. At least the "travel of direction" is right now... :)@notlongnow wrote:I feel once any of this hits any of the red tops then you know the tide has changed.

Weren't the Smiths in the PJ files. Hardly a case for Sherlock Holmes!@suzyjohnson wrote:Possibly SY got the information about the Efits from talking to the Smiths, equally possible SY approached Exton for any information he had in relation to the case, at this point Exton might have told them himself.@Woofer wrote:Can anyone work out the sequence of events of this recent scenario?
1. May 2011 - SY commence review - but the McCanns hold back some information reported by their PIs.
2. SY therefore working for past 2 years in partial ignorance.
3. How did they come to know about the e-fits being missing? Was it by interviewing the Smiths and the Smiths telling them about doing e-fits for Kennedy/Halligen/Exton?
I can`t figure out if this is when SY contacted Exton or Kennedy to get the e-fits.
4. SY do the Crimewatch programme and get Jane Tanner and bundleman off the hook and present the new e-fits.
5. Henri Exton watches Crimewatch and is astounded to see the very same e-fits he reported to the McCanns back in 2008. What can he do - he knows he is bound by threats from the McCanns not to reveal anything, so he decides to contact the Insight Team at Sunday Times.
Am I right here.
Exton may have contacted the Sunday Times, but then they might also have contacted him, there weren't too many PI's working on the case and SY had said that the Efits were recovered from the files of the PI's. Exton probably now has the protection of SY / Sunday Times?

My thoughts exactly, pulch. I know from experience that these things go on. Moreover, the McCann's would have had an idea, way back, which way this case was heading. Tip-offs are extremely common behind the scenes@pulch wrote:Maybe the police fed the story to the paper?? Slowly slowly catchy monkey.....

The evidence, including e-fits of a man seen carrying a child the night the toddler disappeared, was included in an intelligence report produced by a firm of former spies for her parents in 2008.
But the report was sidelined for five years by Gerry and Kate McCann because it was critical of people involved and would have caused a distraction if made public, The Sunday Times reported.
The team of hand-picked former MI5 agents was hired by the McCanns in the spring of 2008, 10 months after their daughter disappeared from the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz.
A report they produced was “hypercritical” of the McCanns and their friends and the authors were threatened with legal action if it were ever published, the paper reported.
Its contents were kept secret until Scotland Yard detectives conducting a fresh review of the case contacted the author for a copy.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard, said: “Where we have been able to make massive steps forward is by drawing together all the material gathered to date, and reviewing it as a whole

Timing is everything. This has come when everything should be going the way of Team McCann. They always said they wanted the investigation reopened. They always claimed others were frustrating the investigation.@iamfreecanigo wrote:I feel like everyone is getting carried away. The McCanns have been in worse press situations than this, its one article a drop in the ocean and they have managed to spin their way out. While its an exciting development, i think to say the whole crimwatch program was a huge elaborate ruse to catch the mccanns lying is madness. Nothing but wishful thinking, why do people think the police do these super over elaborate tricks.
I'm not going to break out the champaigne until they are made suspects or arrested.
This is unspinnable because it involves their own actions and those actions contradict everything they had said and claimed they were standing for. [And those actions are documented by their own ex PI]

That's good but we really need someone to blow on the tinder...before we get the media firestorm. Someone needs to ask some obvious questions. What were the anomalies? are NSY aware of the anomalies? Was Andy Redwood aware that the information had been suppressed for 5 years? Is it legal for lawyer firms to threaten legal action over release of information relevant to criminal investigations? Who did the Smiths originally say the person was?@sallypelt wrote:By Ben Farmer@sallypelt wrote:WOW, the storm has hit with full force@StraightThinking wrote:Well it's in the Telegraph now@notlongnow wrote:I feel once any of this hits any of the red tops then you know the tide has changed.

Telegraph eh? This is gaining momentum. We're in a new ballpark.
I get the impression that smug Gerry McCann pontificating on press behaviour (always someone else's behaviour, isn't it?) really got editors' goats. There was that article in the Sun recently castigating the Mccanns for not mentioning the support and donations when they rounded on the newspaper industry at Leveson.
It's always just a matter of time before the McCanns hack people off. Oh the irony.

I'm normally a lurker, but avid reader of the excellent work documented on this forum. Today's development is marvellous, but it always needed one media outlet to take the plunge before others followed. I would have thought SY would now want to speak urgently to the McCanns to ask their side of today's story, to explain their actions in obstructing the investigations.

Madeleine McCann: critical new evidence is from five-year-old suppressed report
Critical new evidence at the centre of the reinvigorated hunt for Madeleine McCann came from a suppressed report by ex-MI5 investigators.

sorry i could be very wrong here but i thought the Barclay brothers were supporter's of the Mccanns so if ST and now the Telegraph are running with this story,it's not looking good for the fragrant couple is it.
