Searches: Death possibility considered by the McCanns
Parents suggested PJ to search for cadaver

The first people who put the theory of Madeleine’s death on the table were the McCanns themselves. They contacted Policia Judiciaria in July, informing that they intended to use the services of a South-African radiesthesist, who presented great credits in the search for cadavers. Maddie’s parents just requested that the Policia Judiciaria would accept the knowledge of his advances, and, if they would think it was convenient, to include these in their investigation.

The McCanns were immediately confronted with the obvious. PJ said they would accept that, if the parents were also aware that they, themselves, stopped believing that Madeleine was alive. So it happened, and the professor, who came to Portugal with varied equipment, did several mediations around the Ocean Club apartment. The radius that was likely for the hiding of the body included the beach, which is located south of the resort where the girl disappeared from.

His conclusions met the elements that had already been collected by Policia Judiciaria, and his ‘credibility’ was also evaluated by the way he presented himself. The professor paid for all of his travel and lodging expenses and explicitly instructed that he wanted no publicity around his discoveries.

It was only after that episode that the English dogs came over. They were suggested by British police, as everything pointed to a death scenario. And they also validated the same path, which indicates that the child’s body can be hidden nearby, or even on the beach. Less than 1 kilometer from the location where she was last seen alive.

Speech changed over the last weeks

After it became public that the PJ had stopped looking for a child, and was concentrating on the recovery of a cadaver, the McCanns evidenced some discomfort. Through various means, they made public that they did not know that was the possibility that was being considered by the authorities, and never revealed that they had advanced this possibility themselves.

Then, they made believe they were going to demand explanations from the Judiciaria – a meeting that has been successively postponed because the samples from the collected residues were not finished yet – but now they show a complete inversion in their speech. In an interview that was given yesterday to Spanish daily newspaper ‘El Mundo’, Kate again mentions kidnapping and even says that her daughter could be living in Spain.

Another thing that has been perplexing authorities is the possibility that the couple might return to England, at a time when the investigation seems to have found a solid course. CM knows that possibility was never equated to investigators, although they accept it as highly likely to happen over the next few weeks.

CM could also find out that the delay in the arrival of results of the exams that were requested from the Birmingham lab, is confusing the investigation. Seventeen days after the first samples were sent to England, the lab still gives no information, either official or officiously. Nobody knows whether there are any preliminary results, if the samples have any quality to extract any genetic profile, or even if it was detected to be a human residue.

And if PJ believes they do not depend on those exams to proceed with the investigation, the truth is that the confirmation that those are Maddie’s residues is fundamental to define what are the next steps to be taken.

Madeleine: Police in Cartagena investigates witness information that say they saw the girl

Múrcia, Espanha, 23 Ago (Lusa) – Agents of Guardia Civil in Cartagena, close to Murcia (Spain), are investigating the claim of two women who, last Tuesday, said they had seen Madeleine McCann, a police source told Lusa today.

The source explained that two women presented themselves to Guardia Civil at the early evening of Tuesday and assured they had seen the British child at a gas station close to Tentegorra, in the municipal district of Cartagena.

According to the witnesses, the girl was accompanied by a man who, after realizing that the women were observing him, hurried the child into the car, a Citroen ZX model.

The parents of Madeleine McCann had manifested their confidence that their daughter would be alive and in Spain, in interviews that were printed on Wednesday by three Spanish newspapers.

Madeleine McCann, 4, disappeared on May 3, from an apartment at Praia da Luz, Lagos.

PJ finds delay in Birmingham analyzes strange

After two weeks waiting for results from analyzes performed in the lab in Birmingham, England, to blood samples that were detected in the apartment where Madeleine McCann disappeared from, as well as from residues that were collected from several vehicles, Policia Judiciaria (PJ) is starting to “find the delay strange”, especially after the information leak to a British newspaper, which guaranteed that the blood is not from Maddie, but from a man of northern origin, who had been there before the McCanns’ holidays.

This is because the Forensic Science Service, which is specialized in determining DNA from very deteriorated samples, could have the results in 48 hours if they had given the case maximum priority, as DN could discover. The only plausible explanation is related to the “confusion” that exists with the trash from a vacuum-cleaner bag, which contains all sorts of material, like fibers, hair, dust, textile samples, as DN had mentioned. The lab experts, who refuse to indicate a deadline for the conclusion of the work, is having difficulties in separating the material and finding out what is important to analyze.

Madeleine McCann case
Judiciaria investigates crematoria


Policia Judiciaria is investigating the crematoria that exist in the Algarve region. The purpose is to eliminate any possibilities of finding residues of Madeleine's body, thus concluding the investigations and presenting an accusation in the process of the disappearance of the British girl.

Sources that were contacted by CM refused to say which crematoria had been contacted, although everything indicates that those are private crematoria and not licensed ones.

CM contacted one of them, the Creon Starlight, which has been operating for two years in Castelo de Nave, in the middle of the Monchique mountain area. The Dutch couple that owns it, offers services to cremate pets, from birds to larger animals. CM was on location yesterday to find out whether Hendrik and Jeanette Hoos had been visited by the Judiciaria, but nobody opened the door.

As CM could further find out, the authorities are also checking the possibility of the child's body having been taken to Sapin. Crematoria in that country were equally investigated, but for now nothing relevant seems to have been discovered.

Kate questioned

Meanwhile, Kate McCann, who will be questioned again by police, will probably be inquired in England and not required to return to our contry. The Policia Judiciaria will have to send all the elements into that country and will have to list the questions that are to be made exactly. At that time, Kate McCann will also know all the evidence that are falling on her, so she can respond to the police questioning.

Our newspaper could further discover that searches will soon restart. It is not known exactly when, but everything indicates that the PJ will return onto the terrain in the coming days, searching for the body in exact location, with as much precision as possible.

Judge Pedro Frias has also authorized authorities to apprehend Kate's diary, which will also have to happen via an international diligence.

The new press advisor to the McCanns, Nathalie Orange, clarified yesterday that Kate and Gerry will only return to Portugal to be heard, if and when they are formally notified to do so.

CM also knows that a psychologist who works for the British police was contacted by PJ in order to counsel on the interrogation techniques, based on the scientific evidence that has already been collected.

One of the things that were suggested was that authorities, when speaking with Kate, should never mention the child's name, referring to her as "daughter".

The senior officer in the Policia Judiciaria admitted that the McCanns’ stance could destroy the case because detectives have “nothing concrete”. He admitted officers were still struggling to piece together events on the afternoon and evening of May 3. In particular, detectives have so far been unable to uncover the chain of events from 2pm until 10.41pm when the police were eventually called after Kate McCann said her daughter was missing.

Maddie McCann cops in torture claim


HE senior detective jointly in charge of the investigation into the Madeleine McCann disappearance is to face a criminal hearing into an alleged cover-up involving another missing girl.

Snip:

'I'm thinking the unthinkable'


By OLIVER HARVEY
Chief Feature Writer
September 15, 2007

MY misgivings began with the lack of emotion shown by the McCanns in those first few days after Madeleine went missing.

No streaming tears, no trembling lips, no sobs of despair.
Now that unease has become an awful gnawing doubt.
It hurts me to say this, but I now fear something is amiss with Kate and Gerry’s story.

Diligences – Parents’ interrogation halted by Judge

The Policia Judiciaria wanted to interrogate the McCanns in Portugal again. The instruction judge didn’t accept this, and deferred the request to the English authorities. The decision will force the PJ to wait for the British policemen to inquire Maddie’s parents within the timings that they find necessary. (article available after 1 p.m. local time)
 

City scientist dismisses Maddie drugs claim

http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/edinburgh.cfm?id=1487562007

A CITY forensic scientist has dismissed reports that Portuguese police in the Madeleine McCann case could have found evidence of sedatives in strands of hair.

Asked if there was any way of telling from a sample if a person had died from taking the drug, he said: "No I don't think so. The effect of the drug is much quicker than its metabolism into the hair."
And when asked if it is possible to tell whether a hair sample has come from a living person, he said: "I am not aware of any way that you could tell that, so, in my opinion, it would be nonsensical to say that you can tell that."

Madeleine: Hair in McCann Renault: 'It could be anyone's'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

Hair found in the car hired by Madeleine McCann's parents cannot be matched to the missing four-year-old, it was revealed last night.



British forensic experts have concluded the fragments said to be Madeleine's could belong to any number of people who had come into contact with the silver Renault Scenic.
This demolishes earlier claims that the hairs would prove the McCanns had hidden Madeleine's body in the car after killing her in their holiday apartment. The fragments found did not even allow the scientists to establish the sex or age of the individual.

We need to keep in mind it's "sources" again.
If true what does this tell us about what is going on regarding "smearing"
 
Now police are probing if Kate McCann had been depressed

Police are trawling through Kate McCann's confidential medical records amid suspicions in Portugal she may have a history of depression, sources close to the investigation revealed today.


The detailed analysis of her medical notes could provide them with significant evidence against the doctor, now being treated as a suspect in the disappearance of her daughter Madeleine.


News of the development comes as a judge blocked a request from the Portuguese police to re-interview the McCanns in Portugal. Judge Pedro Daniel Dos Anjos Frios said they could be questioned by British authorities in the UK.

...
Gerry, he said, was frantically searching a patch of wasteland by the Praia da Luz beach, screaming hysterically: "Madeleine, Madeleine, Madeleine. Where are you?"

...Last night police sources said they were "suspicious" because cardiologist Gerry was left to search the resort alone for most of the time, while his friends stayed shut away in their apartments.

"That is what made us suspicious. Why didn't they all spend the night and day searching instead of being hidden away in their rooms?" the source asked.

"Kate stayed in the apartment with the twins and a few others, watching from the balcony. It just didn't make sense to me."
 
Have McCann Cops Gone Out On A Limb?

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...284525,00.html

Portuguese police may have "gone out on a limb" by accusing Madeleine McCann's parents over her alleged death, Portuguese newspapers are speculating.

"There are suggestions, hint perhaps, in Portuguese media that, if the Portuguese police are wrong, they are going to be made to look very foolish."
