I'm not sure why you think the Portuguese police are so incompetent Ayers when the UK police have made just as much progress.


Amaral and his colleagues face countless unanswered questions about mistakes in the original police investigation into Maddie's disappearance, such as failing to ensure the McCanns' apartment was sealed off for forensics. (This did not happen until the next day, by which time the McCanns, their friends, resort staff and detectives had traipsed through, destroying potentially vital evidence.)
They also failed to seal off the Mark Warner Ocean Club resort. No roadblocks were set up and police on the Spanish border - two hours' drive away - were not alerted for 12 hours. Staff were only quizzed 60 hours later. And the CCTV footage from a busy main road was never studied. The list of mistakes goes on.




well the Portuguese didn't exactly lay a smooth path leaving the British police with an easier task to pick up on anything they may have missed or to provide extra backup  - the early stages are crucial and the the Portuguese police incompetence in dealing with simple basic procedures was a joke, the Brits not being able to get to the bottom of it is a direct consequence of the ineptitude of the decisions made by the criminal agencies over there in the original investigations.

Not saying British police are perfect or honest but in this instance, the incompetence of the Portuguese means threads like this still exist 6 years on

the portugese translation on screen puts it differently and you dont see him storming out there, reminds of when the bbc showed the queen aparently storming out of a room in buckingham palace, they later admitted she was actually walking into the correct room

it says he is upset/worreid give him a minute, hes going to get some air

So why remove it?

I don't find it surprising that the apartment block wasn't sealed off straight away given the little evidence that any crime had actually taken place initially. If you phoned the police in the UK and said to them my 3 year old year old is missing, I left her sleeping with the door unlocked whilst I was over at the neighbours and when they arrived your other two kids were lying sound a sleep I would be surprised if their first reaction was to lock down your house, prevent anyone from going in and for them to just stand outside waiting for the forensic science team to arrive.

Alternatively I would expect people to be traipsing through looking for the child, to get photos and such like for identification  and to look after the other children as without any indication of a crime the apartment at that stage wouldn't have been considered a crime scene.

Again with almost no evidence of a crime having taken place other than a child having gone missing from an unlocked unsupervised room I wouldn't expect one of the first things for the police to do be to contact the borders and set up roadblocks.

They may have been slower than they should have but the idea that the first thing the police should have been doing in such a situation is locking down the apartment, putting up roadblocks and sending details to border controls only really comes about with hindsight given there was no evidence to suggest a crime had taken place and in all likelihood a 3 year old had left an unsupervised unlocked room and wandered off.

Good logic SD and hard to argue against.

and comes from minds that have watched too much television. The Portuguese police did a perfectly good job. And the McCanns have no right to criticise when it was their refusal to come back for a reconstruction that ended the case.

The Mccann's agenda has always been to promote the idea of an abduction - not too find out what happened to Madeleine. Two potentially different things.

Let's remind ourselves that there is now only one piece of evidence that indicates abduction: the man carrying a child sighted by the Smith family. And Martin Smith himself said he was 60-80% sure it was Gerry McCann.

Oh yes it's very true. Strangely not mentioned by a single UK news outlet during this week's coverage.

even now a recording of that call was shown, with no mention of the claim.

whitewash, must be an injunction its so complete

when did he come forward with this?was it early in the investigation or much later

3 weeks later he gavve witness statement and then later after seeing GErry walking down from an easyjet plane carrying another of his kids something click in his head and he phone police again with the 60-80% statement, credible witness ex unilever exec apparently. But uk media say old man in seventies without his glass. Its unbelievable the spin that goes on

what if the portuguese were on the right lines when they asked the question about them saying they wanted to give madeline to a relative to bring up?

Wouldn't you call that a leading question? I'm not surprised they didn't respond. I wouldn't, either.
