Posts: 1296  I'm starting this thread yet again - well, first time I've started it since joining 3A's, but there you go.
The last two threads obviously became beasts of monstrous, and due to certain posters, monotonous proportions.
I don't actually agree that I should have a thread where my posts alone are viewable - that is not really the point of a forum and I think the input from everyone is important and useful. However, I would ask certain posters, and you know who you are, to cut down on the shotgun postings and the repetition. It clearly annoys most people and serves very little purpose.
I will also say again that I encourage debate and will answer all the questions I can. This should in no way be seen as a thread where only Anti's are welcome. That is NOT how it should be. But I would ask that ALL posters respect each other here and if you read something you disagree with, then please respond sensibly and courteously.
To kick things off I will repost as much of the stuff I have contributed to these threads as I can find, but it is a big task and any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Quote:
Hello everybody.
I've been dabbling with my sources again and thought you might all like to hear the distilled information they have imparted to me - (that which I can reveal, obviously).
Firstly I think it important to say that this investigation is nowhere near closure. As many will know, charges will only arrive when the investigation is officially at an end and not before.
Right now the investigation is focusing on May 2nd 10.00pm through to around 10.00pm May 3rd - a 24hr period in which it is now considered several crimes were committed.
The shift in emphasis to May 2nd is primarily due to the significant lack of independent evidence to support Maddy being seen alive during May 3rd by anyone outside of the TAPAS 9 - and even then only Oldfield actually 'saw' her. Maddy was not present at the creche or children's club. She did not eat with the others and there is NO CCTV footage of her anywhere in the complex or PDL at large beyond the afternoon of May 2nd.
It is also deemed of interest that Gerry missed his afternoon tennis session on May 3rd due to an 'Achilles' injury. It was his unannounced absence which actually drew Oldfield to the apartment and not Gerry asking him to check on Kate. Gerry was not present at the tennis courts and Oldfield went looking for him. Gerry was elsewhere entirely. It is now believed that Oldfield did NOT see Maddy during this brief visit.
The theory is now that Maddy died around midnight May 2nd and that her body was concealed in a bag - Gerry's lost/missing/never had one hold all, sports bag no less. It is believed that this bag was stored in another apartment during some part of May 3rd before initial disposal around the mid to late afternoon of May 3rd. The scent of death was well established and the clean up completed during this time frame. The apartment's cleaner was turned away on May 3rd by Kate McCann I am told.
The forensic material examined and the results are strong in places and weak in others. None are conclusive but highly indicative and along with other evidence form a persuasive case. It is no longer considered that Maddy's body was relocated using the Renault Scenic, but that items pertaining to her and taken from her body were removed, hidden in the tyre well and dumped elsewhere.
As previously reported the PJ have the bag Gerry is so keen now to deny all knowledge of. It is a damning piece of the jigsaw, but not the only one and not the best.
CCTV footage from MW's reception proves that the TAPAS 9 were, for the most part, lying about the frequency of their checks. This is considered an attempt by ALL TAPAS 9 to stall any charges of negligence. The investigation team are also aware of the attempt within the May 3rd confusion to blur the actual time and circumstances of Maddy's disappearance.
They all did eat at Chaplin's on May 2nd and they were contacted at Chaplin's by an employee of MW's with regard to the children - specifically the McCann children. This was followed up immediately upon their return to the MW complex.
Further questioning is to take place shortly and will encompass ALL TAPAS 9 elements, plus others. It is now expected that two others will be made or allowed to request Arguido/Arguida status. These two others are seen as complicit in the aftermath of events surrounding Maddy.
Again, as far as my information allows, I can say that there is NO suggestion of pedophile involvement in any way. The DNA of a North European does not mean that this came from semen or that there is any suggestion of sexual abuse. I think we should all sigh with relief over that. There have been errors in translation and information which may have lead some down this murky pathway.
This case is not finished yet and has a way to run. The culprits will not be found in Spain, Portugal or Morocco.
The above has been gleaned and distilled over Christmas from my three friends and sources. I can elucidate on some points but not others.
 
Quote:
I think we are all just going to have to be patient and hold on to the positives of last week.
The FACT that statements have changed, despite what Clarrie might think, is very important. His words, 'substantially the same' speaks volumes. He knows that things have shifted and the outcry over Kate's words last week might have completely erased their Brussles debut, but it also wiped out coverage of the interviews and talk of what might have occurred.
 
Quote:
For instance the CCTV thing rumbles on. I am told that the PJ are in possession of a number of recordings, some of which are from the night of May 3rd. These do not ALL come from what you would traditionally think of as CCTV. They are 'installed' systems of varying quality. They also had something last week which proved to the Tapas 7 that they were not being very accurate about their movements, or lack of, on the night of May 3rd. I assume that this must be some sort of recorded video evidence.
Oldfield. The Oldfield's have provided some good information, so I am told. I was also told a while ago, and have mentioned it before, that he was the last person outside of Gerry, Kate and the twins, to see Madeleine alive. This was on the evening of May 2nd. I await any definitive proof which shows she was alive on May 3rd. The investigation is spanning a 24hr period from 10pm May 2nd to 10pm May 3rd. I also am lead to believe that Oldfield and Kate are, or have been very close indeed
 
Quote:
I have no inside information about how devout the McCanns are. From my own personal observations I would say they used the Catholic fervour in Portugal to remove themselves from any link to the disappearance of their daughter. It was calculated and cold, as was the trip to the Vatican.
Family comments here in the UK seem to cast doubt on just how committed this couple are to the Catholic cause!!
The reaction and mood of the local Catholic priest says much. I think he carries something of a burden. I'm not sure he has heard their confession. He may have of course, but I doubt it. However, I think he knows he has been used and abused - as have all Catholics who offered the McCanns succor based on their faith alone.
 

Quote:
The information I have is that her end was violent, but whether by pure accident or design I have never been told.
I cannot imagine an accident is the key, there would be little need to cover up an accident. It would be embarrassing and potentially fraught with issues of neglect, but I do not feel these would have been pressing enough to warrant such a massive deflection campaign. They seem even now ready and able to embrace the neglect issue if the need arises.
So my opinion that it is something more sinister.
I cannot accept that it was premeditated at this moment. Perhaps I will eventually be proven wrong.
 
Quote:
That pesky abductor, waiting for the cadaver scent to settle. Placing blood beneath a tile and a foot print by the bathroom door. Tidying and cleaning the apartment. Placing hair and DNA samples in more than one car. Changing Maddy's PJ's for her. TXTing Gerry. Leaving stuff in a barn that one of the Tapas 9 was close to.
 
Quote:
It wasn't a blanket. I understand it was on a large sheet of cold metal - forensic evidence was left behind.
 
Quote:
I should just say that, although it is not believe Maddy's body was moved in the scenic, her corpse was moved after initial storage.
The PJ know where and on what her body was kept.
This was a holding measure until a good enough disposal plan was finalised.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sites identified will yield something.
 
Quote:
Fake or botched abduction does NOT tie in with the fluids and cadaver odour - sorry folks.
They specifically dismissed the 'booked at MW's insistence' baby sitter for the evening of May 3rd BECAUSE Maddy was already dead. This babysitter was NOT present May 2nd late evening or May 1st. Hence the crying May 2nd and the report to MW's.
 
There is obviously a lot more and stuff in the other archived thread too - but that is enough to be going on with.

Posts: 273  Thanks for started this again. I was very interested in:
'It is also deemed of interest that Gerry missed his afternoon tennis session on May 3rd due to an 'Achilles' injury. It was his unannounced absence which actually drew Oldfield to the apartment and not Gerry asking him to check on Kate. Gerry was not present at the tennis courts and Oldfield went looking for him. Gerry was elsewhere entirely. It is now believed that Oldfield did NOT see Maddy during this brief visit.'
So it looks like Gerry could have been moving the body on the afternoon on May 3rd? Do we know what the other couples were doing on that day?

Posts: 1296  joepublic - it is my understanding that the theory is just that - Gerry moved her at some point during the day of May 3rd. Hence the need for the last photo, the discussion they had with Maddy on the morning of her disappearance, May 3rd - which put the crying, Chaplin's incident at May 2nd.
sprat - there is a very strong UK side to the investigation which supports the PJ's work. There is also work being done on other matters which are more specific to the UK and certain activities here.
I mean, if it were the case that charges relating to Maddy's death were leveled and upheld, then I guess it would follow that a number of crimes have been perpetrated here. Fraud being one of them.

.

I thought perhaps the church in a stone crypt, she's being kept cool, perhaps the sheet of metal you mentioned and that's why the priest now feels deceived. But maybe not..

Despite forum speculation I don't think it has been proven that it has been altered.
Have you any information regrading the PJ's thoughts on this last photo and what they make of it?
Thanks

Thanks Coldwater, an excellent idea to start this new thread
I was really worried about the outcry here to the Leics Constabulary last week regarding the McCann's new anonymous phoneline and anonymous (hahahahaha) email address. I believe this was mainly McCann-spin to disrupt and demoralise. According to posters here, desk staff at LC sounded really peed off with all the phone calls, emails they were getting on one particular day. Did you get any feedback from your friend regarding this? Also, do you know why LC still have a link to the McCann's official website on their own?
Not trying to derail your thread already, it's just that you're a captive audience here

Thanks for that Coldwater, I assume the PJ know if he had use of a car that afternoon? Hopefully they have cctv of him in that car at that time and that is how they found the initial burial site? I am intrigued with the blue sports bag though, because I am assuming gerry put it in the boot of a car and nearly had a nervous breakdown when he found out someone had taken it out of the car (the PJ)!!

Starlight, l can answer the second part. Robert cannot have his arguido status lifted because parts of the case need to be archived and those parts are still needed for the case against K & G.
He will have his status lifted the day the McCanns are charged.

Posts: 913  COLDWATER! HOW WONDERFUL!
THANKS!!
one thing about the blue sports bag - is there any particular reason why we are so sure it was in another flat? i know that its got perhaps the "death clothes" in it but surely they could have just tucked it under a bed or in a cupboard??
could kate have taken the bag and stashed it elsewhere and gerry really did not know it was missing? (and then is told by kate afterwards)
it would not be unusual to "leave behind" some of your belongings in a friends flat - i mean like you drop in for a coffee and leave behind your swimming gear etc?

a date change is all that is necessary

Posts: 913  in view of the evidence that shows the tapas mob were not doing regular checks on kids does anyone think that it is possible that they will have admitted this now to police?
maybe most of them did nothing more than not do checks? they are not likely to get done with neglect are they - not for leaving your kids for an hour or something and with no witnesses other than your own statement.
so the point is now - if they tell the truth in some ways they will help the abduction theory as the time window will be much longer but in other ways it would help to prove a neglect case is kate and gerry are charged with this

Posts: 262  Many thanks Coldwater. Your work is greatly appreciated !
Having just read the Enfants kidnappes thread I was beginning to feel a bit down. The McCann's do not act like people close to losing everything. I find this disconcerting, and cannot understand how they can eat and sleep. I know there are drugs that make you feel very calm and happy in dire circumstances, perhaps that is their secret?

Coldwater can you say if the McCanns knew Robert Murat before going to PDL or if his Arguido status will be lifted in the near future ?

Starlight, l can answer the second part. Robert cannot have his arguido status lifted because parts of the case need to be archived and those parts are still needed for the case against K & G.
He will have his status lifted the day the McCanns are charged.

Thank you Margaret

Posts: 913  regarding a violent end to madeleines life - shame!
this could have been something like one or two slaps or being dragged by the hair? this would be classed as violent even though not prolonged
like being dragged soaking from a shower or something?
or would it be more like a beating like lots of slaps and hits?
we are not suggesting kicking or punching to mean violent are we?

I was really worried about the outcry here to the Leics Constabulary last week regarding the McCann's new anonymous phoneline and anonymous (hahahahaha) email address. I believe this was mainly McCann-spin to disrupt and demoralise. According to posters here, desk staff at LC sounded really peed off with all the phone calls, emails they were getting on one particular day.

I missed that. What happened?

Have you any information regrading the PJ's thoughts on this last photo and what they make of it?

a date change is all that is necessary
 
dates on cameras are often wrong and you would not surely be able to change the date after a photo was taken?

it was on a large sheet of cold metal - forensic evidence was left behind.
 
Does this involve a fridge or freezer, perchance?

Sorry, change of date is classed as faked.

Posts: 913  coldwater - do you believe that madeleine was meant to be found when they first moved her body?
was the first location outside or inside?
if on a metal sheet and i cant quite work out the details of this does this mean inside a fridge?
would you really stuff your dead child inside a fridge to hide if the death was accidental?
but i dont for a minute think that this was premeditated

Posts: 150  I would like to ask this question again
"Just another question:
The reward is only suspended for the safe return of the girl? Right?
Not for references to the discovery of the presumably dead girl. Or what was really happened with the child? " 
And I would like to take this question included:
Is the reward in the hands of the parents or on an account X or the fund ?

Posts: 913  can the police anywhere establish if any of madeleine's clothes were missing?
maybe some pretty dress or something as i still think that when they finally disposed of her they would have used as much dignity as possible??
also could the final resting place be somewhere the mccans had already been and could come back to later - i mean over the years - like a proper grave?

Very true that dates and times are often wrong.
It would not usually be very difficult to change the date on a photo - using Photoshop but that is probably not necessary as most people don't have that on the photo.
It is very easy to change the EXIF (hidden) information about a photo and that includes the time and date. I often do it when I forget to move my camera clock forward or back when travelling. I simply change the time on a whole batch of photos using a piece of software.

Back to Almeida Rodrigues
PROFILE
Reserved but with a capacity of work above the average. This is how Almeida Rodrigues is defined, a man with 49 years who reaches the leadership of the Judiciary Police.
A born communicator and also someone who in many moments removed himself consciently away from the spotlights. Almeida Rodrigues knew how to wait for the right timing and left a place of leadership in the National Direction of the PJ in 2005, exchanging the post for the sub-director of the PJ in Coimbra, where his family was. In terms of curriculum he is certainly one of the most qualified officers of the institution. He already led the PJ’s department of Aveiro, he was the national joint director in the PJ’s National Direction, and he took the role sub-director in the Directorship of Coimbra.
One of his last works in the field is outstanding. In the prison of António Costa, the officer of the GNR who was accused of killing three young persons in Santa Comba Dão, Almeida Rodrigues became involved personally. He went out from the office and with Pedro do Carmo they ‘walked the roads�? On the day of the detention they had very little, but Almeida Rodrigues bet everything. Rodrigues was able to get the serial killer to show him where he had put the bodies; he recovered the mortal remains of the last young person to be killed. Then, he rested, relieved. António Costa was condemned to 25 years.

I think it is the right man now.

Can we prove they did this though?
If the PJ put all this evidence to the McCanns they can easily say well look at the photo, proof she was alive on the 3rd.

I suggest that it is a photo from a different day - simple as that.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful!

Posts: 361  Did they need to change the date, Portugal being on the same time as the U.K.? The whole thing stank of over egging anyway. Why have a last photo? The total vagueness about times and dates that characterizes most people, especially when on holiday, would have been a lot more convincing to my mind.

Posts: 1296  I don't know if she was meant to be found - you'd have to ask the McCanns. I suppose if I were in their shoes and pretty certain that nothing could be linked back to me, then that would have been a good option (if such things can be called good).
Hunger4 - just saw your post about changing Exif data as meaning FAKED - OK, I can accept you definition.

Posts: 101  If the "last photo" was taken on the 3rd, someone will have seen it being taken/them in the location. They were at a public poolside. As far as we are aware nobody saw Maddy on May 3 - not there, not anywhere.

Takes all the fun out of the months of photo analysis though doesn't it?
