Madeleine McCann: Bedroom Pictures, DNA And Kate McCann Questions
THE hacks are going over the police reports on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Are we looking for clues? Or are we just looking? Come one voyeur, come all:
A British scientist warned DNA tests on a sample from Kate and Gerry McCanns’ hire car were inconclusive just days before the couple were made suspects, official police files have revealed.
In an email dated September 3 2007 John Lowe, from the major incidents team at the Birmingham-based Forensic Science Service (FSS), said it was impossible to conclude whether the material came from their daughter Madeleine.
In an email dated September 3 2007 John Lowe, from the major incidents team at the Birmingham-based Forensic Science Service (FSS), said it was impossible to conclude whether the material definitely came from their daughter Madeleine.
Four days later Portuguese detectives named the McCanns “arguidos”, or formal suspects, in the child’s disappearance, citing DNA evidence as grounds for their suspicions.
Such are the sort of facts and opinions:
THE 48 QUESTIONS KATE DIDN’T ANSWER
1. On May 3 2007, around 22:00, when you entered the apartment, what did you see? What did you do? Where did you look? What did you touch?
2. Did you search inside the bedroom wardrobe? (she replied that she wouldn’t answer)
3. (shown 2 photographs of her bedroom wardrobe) Can you describe its contents?
4. Why had the curtain behind the sofa in front of the side window (whose photo was shown to her) been tampered with? Did somebody go behind that sofa?
5. How long did your search of the apartment take after you detected your daughter Madeleine’s disappearance?
6. Why did you say from the start that Madeleine had been abducted?
7. Assuming Madeleine had been abducted, why did you leave the twins home alone to go to the ‘Tapas’ and raise the alarm? Because the supposed abductor could still be in the apartment.
8. Why didn’t you ask the twins, at that moment, what had happened to their sister or why didn’t you ask them later on?
9. When you raised the alarm at the ‘Tapas’ what exactly did you say and what were your exact words?
10. What happened after you raised the alarm in the ‘Tapas’?
11. Why did you go and warn your friends instead of shouting from the verandah?
12. Who contacted the authorities?
13. Who took place in the searches?
14. Did anyone outside of the group learn of Madeleine’s disappearance in those following minutes?
15. Did any neighbour offer you help after the disappearance?
16. What does ‘we let her down’ mean?
17. Did Jane tell you that night that she’d seen a man with a child?
18. How were the authorities contacted and which police force was alerted?
19. During the searches, with the police already there, where did you search for Maddie, how and in what way?
20. Why did the twins not wake up during that search or when they were taken upstairs?
21. Who did you phone after the occurrence?
22. Did you call Sky News?
23. Did you know the danger of calling the media, because it could influence the abductor?
24. Did you ask for a priest?
25. By what means did you divulge Madeleine’s features, by photographs or by any other means?
26. Is it true that during the searches you remained seated on Maddie’s bed without moving?
27. What was your behaviour that night?
28. Did you manage to sleep?
29. Before travelling to Portugal did you make any comment about a foreboding or a bad feeling?
30. What was Madeleine’s behaviour like?
31. Did Maddie suffer from any illness or take any medication?
32. What was Madeleine’s relationship like with her brother and sister?
33. What was Madeleine’s relationship like with her brother and sister, friends and school mates?
34. As for your professional life, in how many and which hospitals have you worked?
35. What is your medical specialty?
36. Have you ever done shift work in any emergency services or other services?
37. Did you work every day?
38. At a certain point you stopped working, why?
39. Are the twins difficult to get to sleep? Are they restless and does that cause you uneasiness?
40. Is it true that sometimes you despaired with your children’s behaviour and that left you feeling very uneasy?
41. Is it true that in England you even considered handing over Madeleine’s custody to a relative?
42. In England, did you medicate your children? What type of medication?
43. In the case files you were SHOWN CANINE forensic testing films, where you can see them marking due to detection of the scent of human corpse and blood traces, also human, and only human, as well as all the comments of the technician in charge of them. After watching and after the marking of the scent of corpse in your bedroom beside the wardrobe and behind the sofa, pushed up against the sofa wall, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
44. When the sniffer dog also marked human blood behind the sofa, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
45. When the sniffer dog marked the scent of corpse coming from the vehicle you hired a month after the disappearance, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
46. When human blood was marked in the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
47. When confronted with the results of Maddie’s DNA, whose analysis was carried out in a British laboratory, collected from behind the sofa and the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
48. Did you have any responsibility or intervention in your daughter’s disappearance?
A QUESTION SHE DID ANSWER
Q. Are you aware that in not answering the questions you are jeopardising the investigation, which seeks to discover what happened to your daughter?
A. ‘Yes, if that’s what the investigation thinks.’
Wanna see the pictures of the bedroom? What good can it do? What harm..?

In Jornal de Notícias this morning:
Recourse to the dogs was advised by British expert
The British [man] was determinant for the turnaround in the Maddie case. He walked around in the Algarve for several days, looking for evidence
An English expert who counsels the police in cases of missing persons, abduction and homicides was determinant for the turnaround in the Maddie case, dictating the call for the dogs that detect cadaver and blood odour.
Mark Harrison was called into the Algarve by the Portuguese investigators in mid-July, and according to his report, in his investigation he only had to consider the possibility of Maddie “having been murdered and her body hidden in the areas that were searched by the police and located near Praia da Luz.
The request for help appeared on the 20th of July, and for days Mark Harrison carried out recognition trips, walked through various areas of Praia da Luz, at night and during the day, consulted with several colleagues and experts and rode a helicopter.
Throughout 13 pages, the English expert advises the use of the dogs that detect cadaver and blood odour, namely inside the apartment that had been used by the McCanns and in Robert Murat’s house. Facing the possibility that the little girl might have been buried in that area, after being killed, Mark even suggest that the investigators consult with a forensic anthropologist, as well as a careful investigation about the natural necrophagous predators of the area.
The report, which has now been made public, reports on the change of direction of the investigation line into the disappearance of Madeleine. “Other opportunities are now being considered, of new searches into locations, given the possibility of her (Maddie) having been murdered and hidden in the surroundings”, Mark Harrison refers, stressing that this “would be the proportional and appropriate response, given the period of time that elapsed since her disappearance, and the former experiences in similar cases”.
This document, which was accepted by the Public Ministry of Portimão, allowed for the dogs that detect cadaver odour (Eddie) and blood (Keela) to come to Portugal for two weeks. Despite the requests from the investigators, the Public Ministry ended up not finding it useful for the dogs to carry out tests in the McCanns’s house in England, and in the residences of some of the friends that were in Praia da Luz on holidays.
The media exposure that surrounded the so-called Maddie case disturbed “the course of the investigations, directly and indirectly”.
This is assumed by the prosecutor of the Public Ministry in Portimão, who in the closure dispatch assures that the “verdicts” that were prompted by the so-called “trail by newspapers”, which never represent a “fair trial” had an effect of “diverting attentions”.
In some sectors, the Public Ministry adds, they even assumed “aspects of a global media orgy and a feast of anticipated guilt over the participants in the process that have arguido status, with a disrespect for the dignity of the person, including that of the missing child herself”.

Morning all
thought this was interesting and the last sentence very true.
By the way, I have seen a photo of the apartment with two proper cots and no extra
bed and think these in the photo are definately playpens which make sense because
the apartment is too small for the twins to run around. wish I could remember where
I saw the other photo.
This looks like a daytime photo anyway, not to me one taken at the scene on the night.
August 5th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Are we sure that the bedding did not go with the twins to wherever they were taken to sleep for the rest of that night ?
Just a thought before we start jumping to conclusions.
August 5th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Anyhow,to cheer you up…there is some parts of the files which have not been released and important ot the investigation.What does this mean?
It means the case is far from being closed and the investigation is still going on
Nobody has been charged,everybody is “happily busy”….the PJ can continue and get on with it

Brandon
Lots of talks and I am afraid NOTHING done.
YOU,people in the UK are the only ones who can do something about it,about making justice to Madeleine.If you iniciate it,you will have full support from many,many others
….but this case is far from being over,in my miserable opinion
August 5th, 2008 at 8:25 am
So Madeleine is being badly let down by her parents,the cops,the british government,her LEGAL GUARDIAN etc….
I hope you are all delighted to read through the files and wondering how comes they have not been arrested
Have the mccanns started looking for her again?
What is stopping them?
Why not taking them to court for NOT looking for Madeleine after they said over and over again their arguido atatus was preventing them to do it?
Poor,sad people really
Madeleleine,they did NOT deserve you.They did not deserve 2 more kids and they could NOT have you naturally in ther first place……the gods will strike

Despite discarding the involvement of the couple, the PM laments that it has not been possible to carry out the reconstitution of what happened on the evening of May 3, stating that the surveillance system from the group concerning the children that slept in the apartment block needed to be tested.
The PM also recognizes that there are doubts concerning the contents of the depositions that were given by the group – including the McCann couple – that dined at the Tapas restaurant, and points out the existence of details that were not justified.
Concerning the homicide theory in abstract, the PM defends that the possibility cannot be discarded, but notes that it cannot be more than a mere supposition due to the lack of elements to sustain it in the police files.
Furthermore, the dispatch observes that the process is not definitely closed and that, in theory, all the crime scenarios – abduction, homicide, accidental death with concealment of the cadaver – are maintained, albeit with no credible factual support.
Among several considerations, the PM guarantees that the behaviour of the media during the days that followed the disappearance of the British child disturbed the investigations, and criticizes the anticipated judgment of the arguidos, which, in its understanding, denote little respect for the human person.
The process was delivered today, at around 4.30 p.m., to the dozens of Portuguese and British journalists who required it, in DVD format.

Morning all
How is the democracy in the UK today? good?
August 5th, 2008 at 7:37 am
You can tell all that from looking at a photograph?
I’m impressed !!!
August 5th, 2008 at 7:27 am
A quick glance at the photos is all anyone needs to extablish that:-
1. There was no abduction and no intruder.
2. Madeleine had had trouble sleeping throughout the holiday and was known to be crying when her parents weren’t there.
3. So Madeleine woke up - it was still light outside.
4. She called for her mother but there was no answer,
5. She then threw back the bedclothes - the “foldback” is just the size it would have been for a small child - and goes to her parents’ bedroom
6. Her parents’ bedroom is empty. Madeleine is worried
7. The outside door of the apartment is unlocked - she opens the door to see if there’s any sign of her parents.
8. She decides to go along the patio and down the steps to where her parents collected her before she was put to bed
9. ….And then….?
August 5th, 2008 at 6:53 am
And a very good morning to you, Gandolf
Des O 24/7 ?
Bloody hell, surely no-one deserves that !!!
August 5th, 2008 at 6:47 am
What a shower of fukwits the denial brigade are, if it were not the fate of a little girl at stake, it would be comical as the said fukwits squirm and disappear up their own arses trying to crucify the McCanns, they obviously have an agenda that is far from any justice except lynch mobs.Personally I would string each and every one up by the twiddly bits and play Des O 24/7 to the pikey fukwits, you know who you are get a job and a life you idle shower of SS oberfuhrers.

Error 403 never ever a problem to the Lord of the night, seeker of truth and justice, all round good guy and podgerer of fukwit pikey lowlifes, and denial in house care in the community ingratiates. GIRFUY, must be orf soon the saw dude awaits………..

August 5th, 2008 at 5:31 am
The police always base their questions on the information they have. Who is to say what it is, however this Spider and Fly keeps cropping up.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:28 am
Quote from Glasgow Herald article cited by agw
‘It would appear they were seeking to apply pressure by overstating the evidence that they had ‘
Common police tactic employed worldwide, is it not ?
August 5th, 2008 at 5:26 am
You ready for a Raki night. Might even crank up the Karaoke?
August 5th, 2008 at 5:25 am
He’s always listening.

How’d you know he was listening ?
August 5th, 2008 at 5:20 am
Always hedge your bets Duncan.
August 5th, 2008 at 5:19 am
‘nice Mr agw’ ???
We talking about the same person ?
August 5th, 2008 at 5:17 am
The Glasgow Herald’s take on the information release from the Portuguese is well down the order of news items but worth a look:

August 5th, 2008 at 5:14 am
I see that nice Mr agw has been toying with the multis. Some people never learn, still in the present climate, you have to keep on your toes.
