We don’t know that Madeleine was abducted. Just as there is a lack of evidence that the parents and/or their friends were involved, there is a equal lack of evidence that the child was abducted. I only hope that the review team explore all avenues, and not just the story sold to us by the McCanns and bulk of the media.

Jolie is spot on. At first the UK media mentioned that Eddie the cadaver dog deployed so successfully in the Prout case is the same dog who marked death scent in the McCann apartment, boot of hire car and clothes. Then all references were wiped, due to threats from Carter Ruck, no doubt. A similar case of a child going missing in America has a news blackout in the UK so the similarities cannot be observed. WHAT IS GOING ON?

Criminal profiler Pat Brown wrote “Profile of the Disappearance of Madeleine McCann” and published it as an ebook for sale on Amazon. The McCanns libel lawyers Carter-Ruck wrote to Amazon and insisted her book was libellous and that it be removed from their inventory, which Amazon did, without notifying Pat Brown, until she asked why it was no longer listed. She states her book is NOT libelous and is now suing the McCanns for interference with her business. Her book has been listed with both Barnes & Noble and Smashwords, for a small sum to download. She is using 50% of the sale proceeds to fund her search in Portugal next February, looking for Madeleine McCann.

You can read more about this on FB on the pages titled:

- Profile of the Disappearance of Madeleine McCann
- Criminal Profiler Pat Brown’s Maddie Search Fund
- Free Speech and the Case of Missing Madeleine McCann (about the McCanns’ attempts to suppress free speech and facts of the case that disagree with their purported abduction theory)

If you believe this lot below (excluding Sandra) you will believe anything. Poor deluded people!

Precisely so Claudia. There is a lack of evidence to say what happened in Praia da Luz but there may be a glimmer of hope now that New Scotland Yard are reviewing the case and have been to Portugal/Spain in order to get gain familiarity with what happened (or didn’t) in May 2007.

The whole of that investigation was botched and although I have no doubt the local police do have their good points, equally they were well out of their depth with such an investigation and headed by someone who later was removed from post.

Good luck to NSY. Let us hope for a good outcome now and that this whole sorry story can be put to bed with Madeleine’s return hopefully.

I do not believe the McCanns have sold us any stories by the way?!

I am confident that the right decision was made to re-open this case. There has been no evidence to suggest that Madeleine has been harmed. She is likely still alive and surely needs everyone’s help in returning her to her parents. This story is incredibly heartbreaking. Madeleine’s parents are good people who made a regrettable choice and are sadly paying the ultimate price for it. Picture one of your children being stolen away from you and not being returned for over 4 years. There is no worse pain a person could experience. Thankfully, the authorities are doing the right thing in trying to find Madeleine. Hooray to the authorities for putting the value of a precious human life before the value of money.

It’s extremely unlikely that the Met officers were in Barcelona checking up on the “Posh Spice” sighting – one of the more laughably irrelevant (amidst stiff competition). Far more probable they were there to dig up precisely what persuaded the McCanns to take on the Barcelona-based detective firm Metodo 3 – a struggling and rather shambolic outfit with zero relevant experience, who were nonetheless paid over £500,000 from the Find Madeleine Fund for doing almost nothing.

Metodo 3′s boss was a posturing showman (“I know who abducted Madeleine and I will have her home by Christmas”), and his lead investigator on the case was later charged with stealing 400kg of cocaine from a police warehouse. The firm has also (perhaps pertinently) been accused of money laundering. When the McCanns finally cut the cord with Metodo 3, all they’d received in return for the half-million-pound fee was a handful of bogus sightings in Morocco.

Yet in her recent book, Kate McCann praised Metodo 3 at length and says they maintain a good relationship with
the firm.

I reckon the Met are hoping to find out more about this very odd state of affairs.

Jolie, you need to get off your soap box and actually say something helpful. You must feel terribly clever with your expert opinions and false facts. The SY investigation is a very worthwhile act and come to think of it, if it took every penny and every working hour we had to find a poor little girl that needs help, it would be worth it.

You are simply copying statements on blogs and no ideas of your own. You have skimmed over facts without researching them. Shame on you. Get out there and help. You have convinced me to donate some more

Well said anon

I am so pleased that at long last something is being done for this little girl. She is a British citizen, and we should have done what we are doing now a long time ago. I think there is a very good chance of finding her, and our British police are the best people to do this. My heart goes out to the McCanns, and they have my admiration for their determination to find her. Lets all get behind them, think of Madeleine, and support whatever is necessary to bring her home.

NO credible hope!
Parents refused to do a reconstruction with the police PLUS Madeleine McCanns mother Kate refused to answer 49 police questions.

Portugal never received Madeleines medical records or the financial records of her parents.
So the parents are at least suspects.

Conclusions of a report in police files: From everything that we have discovered, our files result in the following conclusions: A. the minor Madeleine McCann DIED in Apartment 5A B. a simulation – a staged hoax – of an abduction took place C. in order to render the child’s death impossible before 10.00pm, a situation of checking of the McCann couple’s children while they slept was concocted D. Dr Gerald McCann and Dr Kate McCann are involved in the concealment of the corpse of their daughter, Madeleine McCann E. at this moment, there seems to be no strong indications that the child’s death was other than the result of a tragic accident, yet

And:
(Final report from Attorney General) We believe that the main damaged party were the McCann arguidos, who missed the possibility to prove what they have protested since they were made arguidos: their innocence towards the fateful event; the investigation was also hindered, because said facts remain unclear (…)”.

I do hope this review gets to the truth of this tragic case. I’m afraid the parents version of events, and refusal to attend a reconstruction, leaves a giant question mark over their heads, as do the expert British crimes scene cadaver and blood dogs that marked blood and death in the McCanns holiday apartment.

Something is very fishy about this case.

such blinkered thinking. Its always wise to look at all sides to a story otherwise how can you weigh up the facts. I dont think you can go far wrong if you read the PJ police files that is what Scotland Yard is doing amongst other things as they must investigate all the facts not just what the negligent parents have said.
