The case of Madeleine McCann

[Alias]

Correct me if I am wrong, but is it not true that at least one of the suspects seen to be loitering around apartment 5A, was described as wearing a navy blue kaghool type jacket and blue jeans?

Well, my discovery of clothing in the grounds of the derelict building, fit into that criteria, found in an isolated location where there was ample time to dig a hole in the ground in which to dispose of a child's body...

I trust you have informed police.

Hi Alias,

I contacted the Portuguese police by email upon my return to the UK, but I have not yet been in direct contact with Scotland Yard officers, although as a matter of course I do know that our forum is continually being monitored, and rightly so...

Maybe a clue to what actually happenned to Mad's that night will be found in the reasons why Sergey Malinka deleted one of his computers hard drives, whilst at the same time, Gerry McCANN, deleted his mobile phone record relating to calls he made from it that same night...

Is this the link between the pair that will prove the undoing of Mad's disappearance?

I'm not anti McCann,but I (along with thousands of others) would like an answer to following questions - What happened to GM's tennis holdall? Why have the 'tapas' friends become the 'silent' seven? Why did the McCann's lie about the shutters having been 'jemmied' open? and why did they not physically search for their daughter?

Hi tyler, I don't believe the McCanns had anything to do with their daughters disappearance but I do remember wondering at the time why they weren't out tearing Portugal apart with their bare hands searching for her.  I concluded that they were possibly told to leave it to the police?  They had two other children to look after and keep in their sight, they believed they would achieve more with tv exposure?  Seeing Kate on tv recently I notice how her heartbreak is now permanently etched on her face.  So sad.

Nugs,,it's a South African businessman who put a request in to the Portuguese police,as he believes that Madeleine is buried under the driveway. He used a machine one night under cover of darkness and actually trespassed on Murats' property to do his experiment.
Murat had had the driveway re-surfaced with concrete,and apparently,,the graph from the machine showed a dip underneath the surface as if the original surface had been dug by hand,,and beneath that,it shows a space,,where Stephen Birch reckons is where the remains of Madeleine is.
The police were reluctant to allow Stephen to carry out this investigation for some unknown reason,,,and if indeed there's any objection from Murat,,then you have to question why.

well if i was being accused of a crime like that i would happily sacrifice my driveway to prove my innocence.

he does not really need the permission of the police he just needs murrets permission.

The problem that I have with this is at the very beginning,,this wouldn't have taken place when police were swarming all over the area,,and a sniffer dog would have immediately found the child. Murat knew that too,,but although her body was pretty well disposed of soon after she was taken,,and Murat re-surfaced the driveway soon after so that dogs wouldn't dig up the remains,,,it still wouldn't have deterred a cadaver dog from finding a corpse underneath concrete.
I'm almost certain that sniffer dogs were taken to Murats house,,though I can't swear to it.
However,,if this guy Stephen wants to go ahead with his experiment/theory,,then there's no harm done,,and if Murat's in agreeance with it,,then that's fine also.
The time to worry is if and when Murat objects.

well it dosent like this guy is going to shut up about it.

so if murrets got nothing to hide he might as well let him do it.

 May as well,nugs.Nothing ventured,nothing gained.Nothing to lose if Stephen's proved to be wrong,,but everything to begin again with if he's right,,as there'd have to be an inquest,,then questions of how the body got there and by whom,,so we'll wait and see how far this guy gets.

[nugnug]

i dont think theres a body under there ethere but it would be helpfull if its proved that there isnt.

I agree,nugs.

Cost shouldn't be an issue either, as the Madeleine fund would be able to cover it. At least that would put this particular line of enquiry to bed.

The way I see it Sandra,,is that anything's worth a try,regardless of cost or inconvenience,and if both these are met,,then I see no problem. Those who have a problem with it remain questionable.
