Pat Brown wrote:Hello everyone!

Yes, I am going to Portugal next week and conduct my search for Madeleine. I was going to postpone the trip due to the Amaral trial being delayed until April, but since I am not sure I can depend on the trial occurring then either and it cost a ridiculous sum to change my airline ticket, I am going to go ahead as planned. I will keep you updated via Twitter @ProfilerPatB and on my Facebook pages - Pat Brown and Criminal Profiler Pat Brown (please like that page and communicate with me there as my friend page is maxed out at 5000).

Still I am sure Pat will have a massive audience from the thousands around the globe who follow the Madeleine case, the case should be good to fill her companies coffers and she will need it, she has one of the top Lawyers in Washington acting for her.

Infact, allegedly her lawyer was the spokeswoman for the Friends of Amanda Knox campaign fund, and we all know how the defence done a good job in getting Amanda Knox off the hook in Italy with the mucked up forensics.

Enyone know which leads Pat will be picking up on while doing her search in Praia, lord knows there are a few good ones. The Krugel mapped out area, The garden in the villa Flores, The beach, hopes she got her rock climbing boots for the cliff search, ha, ha.

Also be interesting if her search morrors SY review findings when they have finished.

No seriously, I wish her well and that it fills her coffers to overflow, no doub like many thousands I will be following her daily, hopefully?

Just one more thing I am really concerned about, that is the interference of US law officials into SY case reviews, could it not be the case, Pat who is not officially hired by SY to help out in this case , She could do more harm then good, such as a miss-trial because of influence of public oppinion on a mass scale, I am worried,it could be deemed an unfair fair trial, if Madeleine's case is ever brought to a trial?

And why at such a late date has Pat stepped in, would she not have been better off trying to solve the Jonbennet case back in her own country first?

Why would that be? Do you think she might uncover something? Hopefully, she will, because after all we want the truth of whatever happened don't we?

Everyone who ever touches this case in a search for the truth is risking their livelihoods and careers. I have profiled and commented on this case since early on, so I don't have a recent interest. Speaking up on this case has not done me any favors; but I have always refused to keep quiet just because it was safer.

I have never in my life been interested in becoming rich. I am satisfied with a roof over my head, my family, good friends, and pets that amuse me. I like traveling but I don't need to be wealthy to do it. I tend to prefer staying with friends or in youth hostels, taking local transportation and eating street food; I like to visit the culture, not a fancy hotel chain and hang with tourists. My life is my work and my work is changing profiling methodology, getting killers behind bars, saving people from becoming victims of psychopaths (especially children), and justice for victims of violent crime (most especially children).

I am not expecting an exorbitant amount of taxpayer money to fund questionable reviews and I am not begging money off of naive and kindhearted people to fund worthless PIs to track down worthless leads.

Whether I can do any good or not in Portugal, I cannot say. I am simply going to try and it is not going to cost anyone money but me.

IIRC, Pat has ALWAYS said that if she turns up evidence pointing to an abductor and the McCanns innocence she will happily follow it (and I believe her) yet STILL the Pro's are terrified by the prospect of Pat in PdL. Why would they be if they are so SURE the McCanns are innocent?

Given that it won't cost team Mccann anything out of their precious fund, you think they'd be overjoyed that rather than have a group of keystone-cops amateur PIs runn
ing around the lawless hills and paying them a small fortune for the effort, here is someone with a wealth of experience and expertise doing it for nowt!

So I think the phrase " no stone unturned" depends for them on who it is that is doing the turning...
