I agree that it was not the perfect crime. The perp or perps may have already confessed to a close and trusted confidante. It is only a matter of time before that person, conscience-stricken, comes forward with the truth. Meanwhile, we are treated to daily contradictions. There have been...

Faith and begorrah! Maddie has been spotted at Medjugorje by an Irish pilgrim. Was she wearing her angel wings?

Right, Trino. I'm surprised that Gerry (according to the blog) is leaving Kate alone these days while he's at work. He says family and friends have departed. So, Kate has no "keepers" present to check on her care of the twins? Hope she doesn't pop out and leave them alone when she goes on...

It is guilt by association. But now the Tapas Seven have a chance to exonerate themselves.

Jane does look better. Nice sweater, too! I have a feeling things are going to get interesting in the next few days. Clarence had better watch his step, and not go around intimidating witnesses. See y'all tomorrow.

Thanks for all the research you do and for sharing with us. May I ask if you are planning to write a book about this case?

I guess that leaves David and Fiona Payne as the two who are about to break with the gang. No more Pacto de Silencio?

It's not Russell and Jane, according to them :doh: At her home in Exeter, Devon, she denied that she or her partner Russell O'Brien were about to change their statements. She said: "We've had no contact with the police." Two other members of the Tapas Nine, Matthew and Rachael...

Wow! Barnaby--it would be good to know which two did not show up at the memorial. Tuba, thanks for the clarification. The REPORT was not released for three weeks. I had misunderstood that.

Barnaby, my guess is that Jane is about to reveal that she made up the whole story about Bundle Man after prompting by Russell, who was collaborating with Gerry. After all, she didn't even remember seeing Bundle Man until a couple of weeks after the event. Her story always sounded fishy to me.

Well, it all sounds a bit sinister to me. Are there no laws in the UK that forbid the intimidation of witnesses?

Thanks for a very interesting discussion about where and when the body was removed; where it may have been concealed (or not); and all the intuitions, hunches, and conjectures. This is what we do here...we analyze; we make educated guesses; we use both logic and intuition to put together the...

Why are the Tapas Seven so afraid of the McCanns? What kind of pressures can Gerry's gang exert upon them? These articles make it sound like the McCanns and retinue are the Brit version of the Sopranos. "These two members of the group have asked for their identities to be kept secret...

Thanks for the review of the maps. I have looked at them before, and conjectured how Gerry could smuggle her body up there and hide her in the scrub brush. First of all, in his nearly regularly intoxicated state, how on earth could he remember which bush he buried her under? Besides the...

Maddie and her siblings have always been appropriately dressed, in every photo I have seen. I would not read anything into this photo.

Things certainly do move slowly in this case. The Tapas Seven should have been re-interviewed early and often, IMHO.

Frankly I never understood the visit to the pope, in so far as really what was it going to achieve only more publicity? The pope could pray for Madeleines return but they didnt have to visit him for that, he would have done it anyway! He certainly couldn't contribute to looking for her in any...

It looks to me like a folding umbrella that has come apart. Maddie has the top part over her shoulder. These photos of her make me so sad. She was a lovely, vibrant child, innocent and full of fun. Such an active, inquisitive child needs a very patient mother.

Premeditation...that's hard to believe, that the entire Tapas Nine could have been in on the premeditated murder of a young child. Unless, of course, they are a Satanic cabal.
