...best I could find at the moment)
Tomorrow it promises to be one day decisive to uncurl it of the inquiry to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. The results of the analyses to the blood found in the apartment of the Ocean Club of where Madeleine disappeared are waited this thursday for the Judiciary Policy.
This day will be able to show determinative for the couple, Kate and Gerry, and to the friends who had been of vacation in Lakes, therefore will be able to again come to be interrogated by the investigators of the PJ.
After the English dogs - two to springer spaniel -, specialists in detecting blood, having joined a spot suspicion in the apartment, the Judiciary Policy sent the vestiges for a laboratory in Birmingham, in England. The Forensics Science Service, organism that carries through the scientific analyses for the English policies, is specialized in determining the ADN in samples very spoiled. The vestiges had been sent during last week for England and the results are give to arrive.
The English couple, Kate and Gerry McCann, have, however, passed the days more collected, looking for to anticipate the habitual meeting with the policy, of form to see clarified some questions on uncurling of the inquiry. One of the subjects that they intend to see explained is the reason of Olegário Sousa, spokesman of the Judiciary Policy, to have given an interview to televisions BBC and ITN, in which assumed, for the first time, the hypothesis of Madeleine McCann, of four years, to be deceased. Friends next to the couple, had given account of the enormous insatisfação of the parents, for not having been informed before the Social Communication, also accusing the Portuguese policy with insensibilidade and delicacy lack.
The policy, however, as selected the cm, does not intend to satisfy the pretension of the parents. To that everything indicates, the investigators intend to have in its ownership the results of the analyses to the blood found in the detected apartment and other biológios vestiges in the inspeccionadas viaturas already before speaking with the McCann. In case that if it confirms the delivery of the same ones, already tomorrow, the Judiciary Policy will be able to call Kate and Gerry to be questioned officially.
It has been remembered that in the last meeting, carried through in the installations of the PJ, the couple it was interrogated separately by the investigators. The objectivo age to confirm the existence of contradictions in the couple in that it says respect to the hour where Madeleine disappeared e, over all, to clarify who was the last person to see the child with life and the one that hours. This meeting, in contrast of that it happened until then, was not become fullfilled in the English consulate in Portimão, but before in the installations the PJ. The director of the PJ of the Algarve, Guilhermino Incarnation, supervised these meeting.
Madeleine McCann disappeared more than has one hundred days of an apartment in the Beach of the Light, close to Lakes, where it passed vacation with the parents, who in the height had supper in a restaurant the 50 meters of the lodging. With the child they were two new gémeos brothers, Sean and Amélie, that slept when the parents had given for the lack of Maddie.
PJ POINTS BATTERIES WITH RESPECT TO DEATH OF MADELEINE MCCANN
The Judiciary Policy still did not discard the other hypotheses, but the thesis of that Madeleine McCann can be deceased, gains more force to each day that passes.
The spokesman of the PJ, Olegário Sousa, affirmed yesterday, in interview to the SIC, that the "possible death of the girl is the line that has more attention of the Judiciary Policy", underlining, however, that "none of the other hypotheses if finds locked up
Questioned on the reasons now to only give importance to this line of inquiry, the chief-inspector enhanced the sensitivity of this case: "Beyond the delicacy, because we are to say of a life human being, of a child. The time plays, clearly, against the Judiciary Policy. The inquiry goes collecting elements, goes working these elements, trying to get test. The determined height this hypothesis, face to the lack of indications in the other hypotheses, started to gain more consistency ".
m relation to the possibility of the parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, to be suspicious in the disappearance, the chief-inspector of the Judiciary Policy came back to move away this hypothesis. "Until the o moment", he related Olegário Sousa, the parents and friends are not suspected. For already, the only one arguido and suspecting in the case is Rober Murat, a neighboring British of the aldeamento where she was the McCann family.
Another one of the questions answered for Olegário Sousa said respect to the delay in the discovery of blood in the room of the apartment of the Ocean Club. The spokesman of the Judiciary Policy guaranteed not to have existed imperfections, clarifying some details: "nothing did not fail. It is normal in ours and other countries. Although the death was one of the hypotheses, it was the one that was more far. My colleagues of the laboratory had carried through its work and, passed this time, the death started to gain force. In England these dogs exist, identified some places and them they had made its work ".
"TO THE FIRST SIGHT AN IMPERFECTION WILL HAVE EXISTED"
Jose Manuel Anes, Former-director of the scientific Laboratory of the judiciary policy, recognizes, while observing external, that the inquiry will be able to present imperfections Post office of the Morning
- the blood vestiges alone had been found reason now?
Jose Manuel Anes - It has some hypotheses, but seen for who it is in the exterior is a strange bit the vestiges not to have before been joined. But attention, we do not dominate the details of this inquiry. It has, of fact, a queerness on the part of the people and observers, but if they cannot make negative judgments. The Judiciary Policy has given tests of its ability and after more concrete data if only can make value judgments.
- This can spot the procedures of the inquiry and the proper PJ?
- This examination is of the responsibility of the laboratory of the scientific policy. We still do not know had an imperfection. To the first sight it seems to have had.
- One knows that the joined blood already very would be penetrated in the wall. This harms the resulted quality of the sample and consequentes?
- it is not by chance that the samples had been for the laboratory of Birmingham, in England. We have excellent analysts, but it has experience, devices and protocols of analysis for samples that more are spoiled. They, in this particular one, have this ' know-how '.
- But she continues to be possible to determine the ADN and to have unquestioned conclusions of this sample?
- She makes it difficult, but she can not harm. She continues to be possible to determine the ADN. She will be able to delay more time, because more adequate devices and protocols for spoiled samples exist. - But if she was more early... -... it would be simpler and the analyses could have here been done. But it is necessarily here that doubts are arisen. It has some queerness where the apartment has been freed of this safekeeping of conservation. I do not know if, the certain height, was abandoned the hypothesis of crime in the place.
- What it can happen if the ADN will not be of Madeleine?
- one will be of an English, will be more easy there, because they have a database of ADN. If it will not be of none of the familiar ones or friends and one will be of an English is possible that there if it arrives. - It is possible to say itself since when that blood is in the room? - I am not specialist in biology, but I think to be difficult. It is not impossible to determine the ADN, exactly with spoiled samples of blood. To say that it is has years one or two or if is contemporary, already I cannot say if it is possible.
- Already it will be known if the blood resulted of a aggression?
- Yes clearly. This is part of the ABC of the criminology. If the blood indicated haul, if it has direcção or if it is a circular spot. To this height already they know as the blood appeared there.
- the investigators must not have looked for soon for blood?
- I do not obtain to say as the inquiry of the scene of the crime was made. I do not know what it was made. Now, cause queerness that only appears now. Without knowing details we cannot make judgments, but that he is strange it is.
- How it analyzes this inquiry?
- we do not know if it had imperfections, but it has a bigger problem related with the procedures and organization. It is in the height to reflectirmos in the necessity to form Technician of the Scene of Crime and to think better about the coordination between the police forces.
- Which the importance of these technician?
- the preservation and examination of the crime scene ' Only ' make. They have great experience and they follow protocols of exhausting examination of research. That they keep the tests, that send them for the laboratories and prevent its contamination. They are basic in an inquiry.
