Looking through news reports at the time, here is a female witness, maybe this is the lead? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-453015/Sniffer-dogs-tracked-Maddy-supermarket.html A key witness has told police she saw two people in a car acting suspiciously near to the supermarket...

English Police say that Maddie McCann assassins are Portuguese and are involved in drug trafficking by Tânia Laranjo/Rui Pando Gomes They are Portuguese and have a criminal record for drug trafficking. The English police states that they assaulted the apartment at the Ocean Club resort, in...

As detectives began searching the underground sewerage network in Praia da Luz, the McCanns responded on Facebook. "We would like to ask people to refrain from spreading rumours and speculation based on inaccurate press reporting," they wrote. "We are kept updated on the ongoing work in...

Are links allowed to the official find Madeline facebook page? They just posted that the McCann's were asked not to travel to Portugal. It is unclear who exactly asked them not to go.

Here's the link referring to the planned hotel http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2649523/Madeleine-McCann-police-start-searching-sewers-near-holiday-apartments-officers-ask-second-week-scouring-scrubland.html Scotland Yard detectives working in the Algarve resort have pulled up...

I just can't pinpoint the source, but I'll keep looking. The area they are searching had sewers etc built as there was supposed to be a hotel developed on the site.

It was reported that the tank was 3/4 full, I'm just looking for sources

Why wow, am I missing something? It's sounds like a fairly standard description of a managers duties.

I came to the conclusion all maintenance work was all looked after in-house by employees. Eventually, the hotel maintenance department investigated the water problem, sending a worker to look into the tank, police said...................................... The results of the testing showed no...

I've had been googling that info yesterday, even examined pictures to see if I could see some sort of 'serviced by x company' or even the suppliers name on the side of the tank in pictures. I came up with nothing, hopefully you'll be more successful.

Yes, I had forgotten about the chlorine. I think that would make an important difference. Thanks

The lack of contamination in the water supply puzzles me. Would it indicate that her body in the tank was perhaps sealed in a plastic bag (or something else) and not in direct contact with the water and this is why the dogs didn't alert to her scent?? JMO

Yes, you are correct my phrase of 'near the top' was wrong, perhaps 'higher up than the inlet point' might have been a better phrase. :blushing:

It's pulled out near the top, but where does it enter the tank? From these pictures of the outside of the other tank, you can see a pipe feeding in near the bottom http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9011799&postcount=44

Yes, I'm finding it difficult to see the pipes near the bottom of the tank also. I've been trying to find a clear picture of the outside of the tank to try and see how many and where the pipes should be, but it is difficult to get a clear picture of that particular tank. Here's 3...

The only thing I can find thus far is this picture, where someone estimates the size of the opening by comparing it to the size of a 2"x4" length of wood beside it. Heres a picture of the inside of the tank ETA: I found this in the Huffington Post The opening at the top of the...

I have conflicting thoughts about the pressing of the buttons in the elevator. The first time she presses them - On one hand I think she is doing so as a safety precaution so someone following her will not know what floor she gets out on. However, if this did not work the first time, why...

My guess on the necessity to cut a hole would be similar to yours. If water is being removed from the tank by guests using it, her body would go be drawn towards the outlet hole, hence the water pressure issues being reported by guests, as part of her body was blocking/stuck in the pipe...

FD accessed the tank from near the bottom, side through a hole they cut themselves
