What's the news?

I think a couple of posts have been deleted !

There hasn't been ANY news in MSN (which in itself is strangely suspicious)

Not really if you consider there was no *new* "news" to begin.

New appeal following the disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Officers from Operation Grange investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have today issued a further appeal for information.

During the course of their enquiries, officers have identified a potential linked series of twelve crimes which occurred between 2004 and 2010, mostly in low season, whereby a male intruder has gained access to mainly holiday villas occupied by UK families on holiday in the Western Algarve......

Madeleine McCann Lead? Predator Assaulted Girls in Area, Police Say

By Henry Austin

LONDON -- Detectives searching for new leads in the case of missing British girl Madeleine McCann have "identified a potential linked series of 12 crimes" that may be related to her 2007 disappearance.

London's Metropolitan Police revealed on Wednesday that a male intruder had sexually assaulted five girls in their beds between 2004 and 2006 near Portugal's Praia da Luz resort, where McCann was staying when she vanished...

Madeleine McCann police seek intruder who attacked girls at holiday homes

"Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, in charge of the hunt for Madeleine, accepted there were differences between these cases and that of Madeleine's disappearance but added that * there was a possibility that Madeleine had not left her family's holiday apartment alive"

The appeal will also be made via BBC's Crimewatch on Wednesday night

* Hmmm !

1. The man, whom witnesses describe as being tanned with short, dark, unkempt hair, is suspected of breaking in to 12 vacation homes where British families were staying in the Algarve between 2004 and 2010.

:waitasec:

2. In four of the incidents, girls between 7 and 10 years of age were sexually assaulted in their beds. On one of these occasions, he assaulted two girls in the same villa, police said. These attacks happened between 2004 and 2006.


:waitasec: Madeleine was 4

3. "Whilst not identical, there are many similar aspects to each of the incidents in that in most cases there were no signs of forced entry to the property, nothing was taken, and the intruder appeared in the early hours of the morning," between 2 and 5 a.m., police said in a statement

:waitasec: Madeleine was allegedly abducted at approximately 10 PM.


:banghead:

So this is another potential suspect?

 

[Morag]

This article seems to conflate the "new" suspect with the sighting by the Smiths.


http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wor...young-white-female-children-article-1.1726554

The suspect depicted in the images is described as clean-shaven white man in his 30s with short brown hair, and a medium build and height.
He was spotted by Irish tourists — around the time that Maddy went missing — carrying a pajama-clad child towards the beach near the Algarve Resort in Praia de Luz where the McCanns had been staying.

"We still need to establish the identity of a man seen by three witnesses, carrying a child fitting Madeleine's description towards the beach or town areas at about 10 p.m. on the night Madeleine disappeared,” Redwood told reporters on Wednesday.
Investigators are rifling through 530 known sex offenders who they can’t currently locate. From that large sum, 59 have been labeled high priority, The Mirror reported.

The description of the perp in this article contradicts the other one posted above.

The other one says dark, unkempt hair, tanned. What happened to the secret dossier and the 3 burglars? :banghead:

The other one says dark, unkempt hair, tanned. *What happened to the secret dossier and the 3 burglars? :banghead:

" In six of those incidents, the man, said to be dark-haired and tanned, sat on the victims' beds.

The man, said to be unshaven with unkempt hair, spoke English slowly, with a foreign accent, possibly with slurred speech.

Some witnesses suggested he had a pot belly (??) while three victims suggested he had a distinctive smell, one involving aftershave, another tobacco while a third just described "a funny smell".

However, no children were abducted."

* Sir Bernie announced only last month they had the names ?!!

" “We still need to establish the identity of a man seen by three witnesses, carrying a child fitting Madeleine's description towards the beach or town areas at about 2200 on the night Madeleine disappeared. The witnesses have described the man in the e-fits as being white, aged in his 30s, with short brown hair, of medium build, medium height and clean shaven."


" On two occasions the noise of a bin collection lorry could be heard nearby." ( Back to the Bin Men ? )

" On two occasions in Vale de Parra and Praia da Gale he was wearing a distinctive burgundy long sleeve top, on one of those occasions it was described as having a white circle on the back."

Scotland Yard also revealed it was looking at 38 "people of interest" in relation to her disappearance, having dismissed 22 others from that category. They were also trying to find out more about 530 known sex offenders – 59 regarded as of high interest – across Europe.

530? :thud:

 

[~n/t~]

Efits of two fair-haired men seen near the McCanns' apartment were also released and police in the UK and Portugal have also been investigating break-ins around the resort, one of which occurred the same week a year before Madeleine disappeared and involved a man who entered a flat where young children were sleeping.



Have we seen these efits? :waitasec:

 

[Little Jedi]

Adding to the statement issued earlier today, DCI Andy Redwood said at the subsequent media briefing:

(snipped)

"There will be further ILORs to come to ensure that we bring our complete investigation to the Portuguese and they include our multiple priority lines of inquiry....

We have also submitted 30 ILORs to other countries to assist our inquiries.
The team has taken over 500 statements and the process itself has raised 5569 actions.
Within the investigation we have identified 60 persons of interest, of which we have been able to discount 22. We are still working on the remaining 38, which are at various stages of completion.....

*In addition to persons of interest we are aware of 530 sex offenders from the UK and elsewhere whose whereabouts are unaccounted for. *"

*What ??
Are they checking all S.O.'s to see IF they were in Portugal ??

Didn't he say ;
" spoke English slowly, with a foreign accent "

?????

Even if this person isn't responsible for Madeleine's disappearance, it would be a positive thing if he could be brought to justice for the other attacks.
