Re: Breaking News 4 SY Detectives in Portugal Brunt reporting Now

who took the photographs in Faro and how did the photographer know about their arrival?
Warned from England, just to scare around?
My theory is that it was not a coincidence.

And as the SY troops land in Portugal, this story appears on the Daily Mail website:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2547380/Thief-steals-bag-Indian-train-contains-smiling-two-week-old-BABY.html

A good ending to this story thankfully, but perhaps a coal to throw onto the conspiracy fires on SY arrival day?

It seems the 'family source' isn't the only one who can use the press to their advantage, marconi.

I'm curious to know whether the formidable foursome are staying over for a night or two, or whether they've already returned to Blighty.

Is anyone else sick of these anonymous sources of BS like the above?

Maybe a new topic? (Related to others but none more encouraging than the looks and body language of Redwood and NSY officers)

IMO, based on facts:
Clearly the fact that Redwood himself and NSY officers are in Portugal meeting with PJ is major!!! They are there "fighting for Madeleine" (er, er, erm, and they are not even her parents...). As far as G and K, whatever, guilty or not, they have not helped and have not been "fighting" for Madeleine.

"A source close to the couple"=C.M,or?

I'm suprised there wasn't a brass band there to meet them, talk about announcing your arrival and all at the tax payers expence, just becoming more of a farce.

snipped

‘The British are desperate to interview three burglars that were in Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
‘But they are also urging the Portuguese authorities find new evidence against the burglary suspects that could lead to arrests.’

Remember when the PJ came to to England and how excited we all got hoping for a breakthrough,and what happened,Jack sh**.

by sami on 29.01.14 7:23

Well, I thought SY did nothing without checking with Kate and Gerry first, them being so well informed and all.

When locking up time comes in this case I hope they put the source in a cell close to to the couple.

The most refreshing reporting I've seen in years in this case was the ITN report last evening. One line. Impossible to read between. SY on the way to Faro. Nothing more to be said for now.

From Twitter:Police want to have info from 3 persons,1 Britt, 1 Portugees and 1 unknown.
Murat?
Maybe he knows what happend that night?!?

by russiandoll on 29.01.14 8:28

Why did the daft bint of a Sky reporter say that the 4 detectives were in plain clothes? Do they wear uniform at home?

So, wearing plain clothes in order to fly under the radar into Faro....then there was a big photo and tv opportunity for them, including footage taken by the reporter's own new channel !

I guess they're staying at the Hotel Eva then. Very nice, for a hotel built next door to a bus station.

I really hope this is the beginning of the end. My sanity can't take much more. God knows what it must be like to be directly involved....

Wow, so now we have an 'International Consortium of Thieves'.
That's what I call 'classy', 'multi-lingual burglars', that's really going 'up-market'.....but then, would one expect anything less, considering it's the McCs we're talking about here. big grin

I do wonder if Mr Redwood has taken Gerry's advice, and a little obfuscation is good, and everybody is talking about burglars, and the visit is quite unrelated to burglars.

I do hope you are right. It seems nonsensical that the press have been saying this for weeks. Unless the so-called burglars are in jail already for other crimes and unable to go anywhere, it seems totally ridiculous to give them a months head start. Everything uttered from "sources" in this case always sounds like complete rubbish.

C.M = Cell mate, or are we still on C.M. version 1 ?

by russiandoll on 29.01.14 8:39

They have been and gone it would seem, after a 3 hour meeting which took place yesterday.
They went for lunch, how very dare they ! It is ok though for SY to have lunch, they are not Portuguese cops who take 3 hours to eat sardines washed down with lashings of wine.

Unless they had so much to discuss that they needed to stay overnight and meet again with Portuguese detectives.

So all the usual suspect source's stuff about hope that the Portuguese police will co-operate was a lot of crap as usual.

by tiny on 29.01.14 8:51

Been and gone,hmmmm,perhaps the PJ would,nt play ball.

‘But they are also urging the Portuguese authorities find new evidence against the burglary suspects that could lead to arrests.’

by canada12 on 29.01.14 8:57

Wonder if they've secretly met with one or more Tapas members who have also flown to Portugal and are singing like canaries....

A serious subject, the disappearance of a child, but even these find time to smile.

Suggestions, please, for the conversation which could match this photo :

Have the 3 burglars landed in Rio yet? ...they want to thank the 'source' close to the #McCanns

The guy with Andy R " Just how wide was that bedroom window meant to be open? This wide? "

SIX QUESTIONS

Who briefed photographers to be there to take these photographs?

And why?

Cui bono - who benefits from these photographs being published?

How common is it for meetings between officials between two police forces to appear in the press?

Will the publication of these photographs help or hinder the arrest of any genuine criminals?

And finally, was this really all about favourable headlines in the British mainstream press - and a very expensive photo opportunity?
