April4sky, IIRC, there was a white van belonging to a known pedophile that had been seen in the area. He later died. I can't remember his name.
He was NOT in the area at the time of her "abduction" if you mean the guy who killed Yeleni
I hope that's true, Isabella! I've always believed that Madeleine is still alive! So, I definitely hope that is the case. Thanks!
This is the one I was thinking of, April4sky. Von Aesch committed suicide, so if he was involved in Madeleine's case, we will probably never know.

Thanks Texana for the info. This evidence could indicate that Madeleine had been dead in the apartment for some time (hidden behind the sofa) before the body was removed. Couple this with the cadaver scent found on Kate McCann's clothes (and also on cuddle cat?) - this is prettty incriminating evidence.Eddie is the "cadaver dog" and is specially trained to detect the presence of cadaverine and only that of humans. Keela is specially trained to detect the presence of blood.
Eddie alerted to the scent of cadaverine (from a human, again, he does not alert to animal or other decomposed organic material) in the living room, behind the sofa.
Keela alerted to the scent of blood in the same spot, behind the sofa, in the living room, close to the outside window.
Blood was found when the tiles behind the sofa were removed and tested. However, the sample was degraded, probably due cleaning chemicals.
The FSS lab was able to check only five markers from that site but all five of those markers matched Madeleine's DNA. There were no markers that could not have come from Madeleine.

At what time exactly did the McCanns show up at the tapas bar on that night?
At what time was the children's room checked for the first time?
Which of the Tapas Nine did the checking and what did he/she state?
Respectfully snipped from "April4sky"
It wasn't only the FSS who did the forensics. Some things were sent for testing to a Portuguese Lab and they came up with nothing.
IMO there is no way such a highly respected Lab as the FSS would be part of a conspiracy.
FSS are not above reproach as proven here;

I am not a conspiracy theorist but the UK Govt. stinks to high heaven, in my work I see cover ups and spin all the time.
There are so may odd things about this case. I would not want to see innocent parents persecuted on forums and elsewhere but IMO there is something very fishy going on here.
How can a couple go on holiday with three children, return with two and it is all just dropped, no proper searches, investigation, mickey mouse PIs, fundraising activities, the only thing that seems to be done is putting up posters and the MCanns were even making people pay for them at first
Hi Claycat,This is the one I was thinking of, April4sky. Von Aesch committed suicide, so if he was involved in Madeleine's case, we will probably never know.

Hi Salem,Tanner drew a map, which is part of the final report, that clearly shows there is no way she walked by GM and JW and they didn't see her. According to that map, she would have had to be invisible.
I wish Maddie would be found, where ever she is and would come home.

Thanks Texana for the info. Do you or others happen to have a link to the FSS statement?If you look at the FSS statement about the results of testing on the DNA material found in the blood found in the Renault, it is very significant. They stated that the material could not be conclusively identified as Madeleine.
That was the phrasing. However, what was left out was the significant and incredibly incriminating fact that it could not be ruled out that the DNA was Madeleine's. In fact, 15 out of 19 markers were identified as Madeleine's and the twins were ruled out.
The FSS statement was very bland and general but it cleverly left of the reverse logic that is obvious to anyone--It could not be identified conclusively because of the degraded material but nor could Madeleine be ruled out.
And the chances of the blood coming from anyone else? Less than 1 in 1000.
The McCanns and the Tapas 9 had access to the car. The DNA material was not found in the seat, but in the wheel well where it simply cannot be explained by normal circumstances.
Respectfully snipped...Hi Salem,
Regarding the Lane and the conspiracy theory.
I think we have been caught up in the would they - wouldn't they - have seen each other saga, and lost sight of the "why" as to their statements.
If as you think they conspired together wouldn't they have agreed to say they saw each other in the lane. That's the only thing that would make sense if they were conspiring! An easy conspiracy to get right.
The fact is they said they didn't all see each other - and the only reason that makes sense is they told the truth. IMO
I agree regarding Madeleine - I wish it too, and the sooner the better.
