Once you've giveñ the examples to back up your claims, I think it's about time I ask you a question.

What evidence is there that Madeline did not die in that apartment?

Apparently no body = no death

you've already been told nobody said this, the fact you're now bare faced lying further discredits anything you say. Unless you want to go and find the post where I said that, what I said was the nobody will ever know unless a body is found. These kind of knock and run tactics in a debate is childish but we've come to  expect it from you.

tober the psychological explanation is conspiracists is obviously relevant, because they are not just doubting an event, they are insisting something happend with zero conclusive evidence, they want to believe what they're sating.

Not  at all, and given what you and shrewd have come out with, believe me when i say that you saying I am discredited is ignored based on the crap you have written here.
Your BS unfounded allegations against Amaral, which was straight out of the Sun further confirms that you are a waste of time.

You have certainly implied that no body means she's unlikely to have died in that apartment, when all the evidence and the belief of the Portuguese police (who know much more than us) suggest that is what happened.

Believe me when I say the only person discredited here is you..and the very fact that you think her death is a conspiracy, when all the evidence supports this theory further discredits you.

Hopefully you can do some research away from the sun and actually find some evidence to support your beliefs.

Either way, you are a waste of time, and very very childish.

lol it's obvious that you are just a petty troll who is more interested in scoring cheap points and trying to get one over people rather than actually talking about the point in hand, you said that I said that if there was no body then there was no abduction and you said that twice, I never did say that and not only did I explain what I said you then repeated the lie, and still can't go and quote me where I said it, what is the point in debating with someone of your type when you do juvenile things like that, so who or what you discredit is completely irrelevant.

Goncarlo Amaral said that a body had been buried in a coffin and burnt yet he cannot prove it, why do you think he was thrown off of the case, he was damaging the investigation and the fact he made a lot of money from a missing child speaks volumns about the sort of character he is and what he is really interested in.

Again, disagree and I've had to respond alot to yourself and Shrewd, and feel I've done very well despite not being àn expert.

It's been explained to you the reason Amaral was taken off the case, for political reasons because he would not deviate away from the evidence!

You have certainly implied that no body means death is inconclusive despite all the evidence and absolutely 0 evidence of an abduction, and what I'm telling you that this is not only wrong, but it is not how the law works.

You seem to think that calling me childish, for trying to refute what you say is a good way forward. If I was you, I'd read the thread and see who is the childish one.

What makes you think that you know more than the Portuguese Police? What evidence have you supplied that she was abducted (seeing as death and abduction are the only plausible possibilities)?

What evidence do you have that Amaral theory that the body wasn't cremated? Given that the body has not been found, is incorrect?

My understanding is that the McCanns had access to a church, where a cremation took place, and given that there is no evidence of abduction and no body, he has tried to offer an explanation as to what happened to the body based on the evidence available to him.

The Portuguese Police have shelved the case due to involvement of the British Government/services, their belief is that she likely died in that apartment because that's what all the evidence says!

So it is quite amusing that you seem to think that it's a conspiracy that she died in the apartment, when the conspiracy theory is that she was abducted.

The reason why this is the conspiracy is because there is ZERO evidence she was abducted.

Amaral lost his job, his family because he wouldn't sell out, he was attacked by the British media for doing his job, and you think publishing a book to essentially share the evidence of the case which the McCanns spent alot trying to hide means he was out for money!!

Funny thing is the McCans have made many millions from donations and a book themselves!!, yet you seem to have no issue with this.

You are justify not worth it.

The truth of the matter is this, until there is a body found, everything else will just be either circumstantial or inconclusive, there is no hard evidence whatsoever.


scandanavian_haven 17 Mar 19 16:24
I don't remember saying that she did not die there, I haven't got a clue whether she is dead or alive and if she is dead where she died, what I've said is that unless a body is found, nobody will ever really know what happened, there is nothing conclusive.


No mention whatsoever that I said conclusively there was no body no death OR that I said it was unlikely she died there because there was no body, there above you can clearly see I said nobody knows either way and I haven't called it either way.

I'm willing to accept that, however this goes back to the main point that if everyone took your opinion then nobody would ever be charged with murder! You have discredited Amaral and the Portuguese police, you have tried to discredit Martin Grimes and his 200/200 dogs

So please answer, how can anybody be charged with murder/manslaughter if the body isn't found? Correct me if I am wrong but you are essentially saying that as long as the body hasn't been found then no one can be found guilty of murder.

In this case there is plenty of evidence that she died in that apartment and ZERO evidence she didn't (correct me if I'm wrong)..

So you say that no body means she was unlikely to have died there? Really? And you are using this statement to defend yourself?

So you are claiming that it is LIKELY she didn't die in the apartment!! Despite the evidence!

Please provide evidence, apart from your opinion that it is unlikely she died in that apartment.

Please provide evidence that she may have been abducted, or is this just a conspiracy theory of yours?

Latest short video from Bogart:

So Madeleine crept behind the sofa (must have had a serious wound that neither parent noticed/reported), and her blood dripped under the tiles behind this sofa (no blood found on it, so it either all dripped down! or someone cleaned the blood on the tiles behind the sofa). 19/19 markers, so 100% her blood. At this exact spot, Eddie detected cadaver (amazingly bad coincidence)

For Shrewd_dude. 15/19 markers of the DNA/Blood found in the boot of the hire car (after her disappearance) matched Madeleines, which to the USA/FBI would be a match.

I'm far from an expert, but I don't think it works that way. I'd be quite confident in saying that it is millions to one that it isn't McCann blood. We also need to take into account that Eddie detected cadaver in the boot too.

In your example you are talking of 1000 people blood. Why on earth would there be (anywhere near) that amount of different peoples blood in a car boot? Especially when it is specs we are talking about.

I'm clearly not saying saying their was a 1000 people's blood there. But the DNA found was a dna mixture which means it came from more than one person. So they can't even say whether all 15 components come from the same contributer. That's why they were unable to draw a meaningful conclusion that it was actually her blood.

You on the other hand are saying that if a sample has 15 of 19 components from a particular person regardless of how many contributors there are that the FBI would consider that as conclusive proof that it was from that person.

Shrewd I am not an expert and clearly, neither are you.

If I recall, the blood matches DNA from the McCanns. If you could supply me with a source that says the blood (in the boot) was or was partially from anyone else, then I can educate myself.

At risk of sounding silly (without a source), my understanding was that the DNA partially matched Gerry and Kate (Madeleine's DNA is 50% of each so makes sense), which was why your expert stated it could come from more than one person (ie all five of the McCanns).

If you can educate me that the blood could be non McCann, then it will give me food for thought.

Report Shrewd_dude March 22, 2019 11:33 PM GMT
Firstly, here are the last three results you are expecting

An incomplete DNA result was obtained from cellular material on the swab 3a. The swab contained very little information and showed low level indications of DNA from more than one person. However, all of the confirmed DNA components within this result match the corresponding components in the DNA profile of Madeline McCann. LCN DNA profiling is highly sensitive it is not possible to attribute this DNA profile to a particular body fluid.

There is no evidence to support the view that Madeline MCCann contributed DNA to the swab 3B.

A complex LCN DNA result which appeared to have originated from at least three people was obtained from cellular material recovered from the luggage compartment section 286C 2007 CRL10 (2) area 2. Within the DNA profile of Madeline McCann there are 20 DNA components represented by 19 peaks on a chart. At one of the areas of DNA we routinely examine Madeleine has inherited the same DNA component from both parents; this appears therefore as 1 peak rather than 2, hence 19 rather than 20. Of these 19 components 15 are present within the result from this item; there are 37 components in total. There are 37 components because there are at least 3 contributors; but there could be up to five contributors. In my opinion therefore this result is too complex for meaningful interpretation/inclusion.

Why - ...

Well lets look at the question that is being asked

"Is there DNA from Madeline on the swab "

It would be very simple to say "yes" simply because of the number of components within the result that are also in her reference sample.

What we need to consider, as scientists, is whether the match is genuine and legitimate; because Madeline has deposited DNA as a result of being in the car or whether Madeline merely appears to match the result by chance. The individual components in Madeline's profile are not unique to her, it is the specific combination of 19 components that makes her profile unique above all others. Elements of Madeline's profile are also present within the the profiles of many of the scientists here in Birmingham, myself included. it's important to stress that 50% of Madeline's profile will be shared with each parent. It is not possible in a mixture of more than two people, to determine or evaluate which specific DNA components pair with each other. Namely, we cannot separate the components out into 3 individual DNA profiles.

Therefore, we cannot answer the question: is the match genuine or is it a chance match.

The same applies to any result that is quoted as being too complex for meaningful inclusion/interpretation

What questions will we never be able to answer with LCN DNA profiling -

When was the DNA deposited -
How was the DNA deposited -
What body fluid(s) does the DIVA originate from -
Was a crime committed -

These, along with all other results, will be formalised in a final report

He says it's not possible to separate the DNA into 3 in order to match individual DNA.

He has been very careful with his words (something I should do more often), but, unless I've misread, he offers no actual evidence that the DNA is non McCann.

The 3 people DNA he is talking about is Gerry and Kate (possibly the twins) that is why he is saying it comes from more than one person . His words were carefully chosen not to suggest that anyone elses DNA was in the mix.

15/19 makes it millions to one it wasn't McCann blood.

He says that he can't conclude whether it is a genuine match or a chance match(with Madeline) and the reason for that is because it is probably mixed with any 2 of the other 4 McCanns DNA) and therefore not accepted as evidence.

Dude, you really need to read that report again because you are clearly confused and embarrassing yourself! He has said 15 out of the 19 markers match her. What part of this do you not understand?
So you are saying that he's saying it's not her DNA?

Dumbo, he said the markers match but cannot be conclusive (in his opinion) because the DNA came from more than 1 person, and this cannot be separated and analysed!! And so is incomplete!!

Read between the lines!

There is no suggestion that the blood/DNA came from a non McCann, which is what you inferred!

No source needed to find out about DNA admissibility! that's what Google's there for.

Hopefully someone else comments on what you are trying to argue here, because it just doesn't make any sense to me.

I have said the DNA expert never reached that conclusion conitnually over numerous posts. I have now provided his quotes that he cannot say it is her DNA.

This is like talking to a brick wall Do your own research into the markers and how significant 15 is. (The FBI part is for comparison).

Read between the lines!! He is saying the blood (which was known to be detected by Keela), matches 15 markers to Madeleine.

He is saying that he cannot conclude it is her DNA because it is mixed with others (probably Kate and Gerry, both of which have 50% of her DNA.

I am not being selective, but his conclusion isn't exactly straight, and he claims it is inconclusive. he has not ruled it out as being hers!!

What I am telling you is that in his opinion he can't conclude it was solely Madeleines blood because it was mixed with 2 people who she shares her DNA with.

He has not said it isn't hers, just that it is inconclusive for him to draw an opinion. what he doesn't conveniently tell us is if non McCann blood is involved.

What is so hard for you to understand?

I say "because the FBI said so", now you are getting childish. All I have pointed out is that in the USA  15 markers are needed, whereas in the UK and Portugal (I believe it's) 19.

Disappointed with this comment SH.

Shrewd is stating that first I said her DNA has been found, now I am saying it might be hers?

As far as I recall I haven't changed my mind on anything, and all we have been doing in the last few posts is try to establish what the expert has written, and in his report he states that in his opinion the results of the DNA are inconclusive, therefore it might be (partially) hers and he does not discount this.

So to now say I've changed my mind I very very wrong.

In fact it was Shrewd who was implying that the boot DNA came from a non McCann source. He had posted the DNA report, which (correct me if I am wrong) doesn't state this.

I accept that I was wrong in that exchange SH, as I was being barraged by yourself and Shrewd, but I apologise for getting it wrong. I am really just wanting any evidence that might factually suggest that she did not die in that apartment.

Lol!!! Where have I agreed with him!!! Please quote. It is my understanding that 15/19 markers indicate that it is many millions to one that the blood/DNA is not McCann. I will continue with that assumption until shown otherwise!

If you can supply me with anything to say otherwise then I will be grateful!

The expert says there is more than one person's blood in the sample, whilst acknowledging 15/19 markers match. He does not even state how many of these markers match his colleagues' blood for reference.

He states that his findings are inconclusive, however you seem to have drawn more information from this report than I have and I cannot see where you are getting this from.

He does not not say this is or isn't Madeleine's blood, nor does he suggest that it comes from any persons other than the 5 McCanns, which is what you were implying.

The DNA was taken from the spot in the boot where the dogs indicated. So it would have to be blood or 'the scent of death' as that is all they were trained to indicate for.

Of course the dogs don't indicate only for Madeliene.

No, paedo abductions are to get the - live  - child away from where adults can intervene. The sexual attacks are (sometimes) followed by murder, never the other way around from anything I have heard. And the murder is usually to cover up the sexual attack which is the motive (victim can't talk)

The Isle of Bute psycho wanted to get the girl far away to carry out his rape as he feared adults waking up etc

In Apartment 5A there were no adults there. So the paedo can do what he likes there and then. He can then leave. Worst case scenario an adult comes in before he is done. Even then he still has good odds of getting away, as he can push his way out and run off into the night. Even if he is restrained he could still claim he was just a burglar and quite difficult to get a 4 year old giving evidence in court.

If he takes her out - alive - then he is greatly reducing his chance of molesting her AND increasing his chance of being caught. Also being caught outside with her he no longer has the 'just a burglar' mitigation.

I have just never heard of a stranger murder in the victims home where the stranger took the body away. It just gives the killer a whole new level of hurdles to avoid capture.

Abducting dead bodies from their homes is extraordinarily rare to the point of I don't think there is a single case of it on record.

If the person has no connection to the place then why is anyone going to link them to the murder if the body is left there ? The only thing I can think of is the perpertrator may figure his DNA is on the body. But why would he assume his DNA is not left in the apartment from where he has got in or what he has done there.

So he is introducing multiple new ways of getting caught (being seen carrying the body and challenged right there, being seen carrying the body and remembered or seen on CCTV, being seen digging a hole to bury it etc ) all to prevent his DNA (which may not be on record anyway) being found on the body, when he may have left DNA in the apartment anyway.

I have some ideas as to how they could have done it but yes, I get how people find it hard to see. But they are usually using as the starting point the information they get from the McCanns, who are obviously going to present a timeline that makes it very difficult to envisage their being able to do this. What people don't stop and think about is how difficult the abduction is with the MCann timeline, or how implausible it is and how wildly different from all other well known child abduction cases. Children being abducted from the place they lived is very,very rare, and the few cases it did happen it was clear the abductor took the child to get them away from the parents, which was not necessary here. 'Stole to order' theories are just fantasy. But most people just figure 'children do get abducted' and are not seeing how unlikely this one is. The case is fascinating because it is a kind of locked room mystery where it is easy to tear down the case for an abduction or a staged crime. The Ben Needham case is less discussed because it is less complex. The McCann case is like The Wallace Murder... ''It was impossible for Wallace to commit the murder and it was impossible for anyone else to have done either'' . So it will be one that always comes around.

The reason they 'keep it in the limelight' is because the press are their biggest allies. Relentless stories about abductors churned out.

Operation Grange was created by The Sun, and is under no circumstances to look at anything but an abduction. That is why it is such a farce. instead of following evidence and seeing where it leads, they start off with the notion that there is an abductor, find someone who was around at the time and try and theorize evidence against the person being the abductor. So obviously there is nothing and they move on to another 'suspect'

Egg Man, Bundle Man, George Harrison Man, Posh Spice Woman and so on into infinity

The 'taking her there to kill her' is actually a theory some of the nuttier members of the dedicated forums propose. It is obviously silly for the reasons you give. The criminals involved (in any crime) whatever the motive, will have not done things in such a difficult way if there were obviously easier options.


I think it's pretty naive to think that criminals are people who apply rational logic constantly to everything they do and always select the easier most logical course of action.

On any given day their are examples of people doing the exact opposite where they carry out actions which it is nigh on impossible not for them to get caught given their actions are either so incredibly stupid or are committed in front of multiple witnesses.

One would think a 'crim' wouldn't snapchat a video of themselves to mates saying "I found the guy who did it' then show a video of themselves in a mirror given the easier and safer option of not doing it. However criminals are also capable of doing stupid ****.

I don't think anyone is saying they intended to kill Madeleine.
Any theories I've seen were based on accidental death caused by drugs given to her to make her sleep.
Could be true albeit I think abduction the far more likely reason. (Whilst alive in case anyone queries)


Well the last few pages have been discussions on Allins suggestion that their was enough blood found under the sofa, under the floor and on the walls to conclude that she definately died in the apartment. I've never said I agreed with that but if he is saying their is enough blood to suggest she died it's unlikely to be caused from an overdose or bump to the head or most accidental deaths unless they accidentally stabbed her.

Toby you keep pointing out how rare child abduction cases are. The same applies to cases where children are killed by their parents and they dispose of their bodies. Extremely rare. Killing their child and managing to JImmy Hoffa them in a foreign country is completely unheard of and as you suggested earlier about taking away a childs dead body away has probably never happened before.

Whatever happened was completely implausible but one of them must be true. You can't discount one potential theory because it's implausible then ignore how implausible the alternatives are.

Perhaps the blood in these areas alone are not telling, but when you add the detection of cadaver in the same spot, no known death in the apartment and no reports of Madeleine having a wound, it's very difficult to assume hat she did not die there. As far as I am aware Keela did not detect blood elsewhere in the apartment, all of which is very unfortunate for the McCanns.

its like one of these modern day tv series,gradualy a series of what look like random characters introduced,tapas 7,murat,uk government,mitchel,clement freud,priest etc introduced to the viewer and eventually certain connections between one or more them are revealed,
imagine yourself joe bloggs on holiday on a sun bed and inventing a one off event where so many random characters are introduced 1000,s of miles from home who eventually no matter how tenuous can be somehow ,somewhere be linked, even vera,baptiste would have their work cut out
