Why does SH post a c&p of some psychological explanation of conspiracy theorists, referencing 9/11 etc in the middle of a thread about the Mccanns So people who doubt the solution to the mystery that has zero evidence to support it - abduction - are nutters

Apparently no body = no death. What a world we would love in if the law worked this way.

Firstly - let's look at how quickly you shift the goal postsAllinR1Apparently no body = no deathThenAllinR1You 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.So you've quickly went from saying that I said there was no body so no death to that I implied that no body means she's unlikely to have died in that apartmentLet's look at what I actually said.scandanavian_haven 17 Mar 19 00:26 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 16:24I 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?

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. So if I get a mixture of a 1000's people's blood and 15 components within that are the same as 15 of the components in your blood then you think the FBI would conclude it is your blood? John Lowe said"In my opinion ... this result is too complex for meaningful interpretation or inclusion."What would he know though? He's only the DNA expert who carried out the DNA analysis.
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.

Far from an expert? Quite clearly. Not an expert in something then why not rely on the opinion of the actual DNA expert who did the analysis.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.

Read the DNA report ffs. 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.I never said this. Again this is a complete misunderstanding of DNA. They may have taken the sample from blood but in a DNA mixture that doesn't mean all contributions are from blood. It could be sweat, skin particles, Semen etc. you can educate me that the blood could be non McCann, then it will give me food for thought. Well the expert that I quoted said some of his colleagues would also be matches so I think that sums it up. Not suprising that it may also partially match their parents as well.
Source please. Not he said she said

Look forward to the link, and not just what you've told us his colleagues said.
Then we can take it from there, and then we can try and work out why Eddie also detected cadaver where these specs of blood were found in a boot of a hire car.

That's not what his colleagues said it's what he said. Ahh, so when you ask for a source you don't mean a source you mean a link to the source. As I've said before I'm not providing you with that. You are the one relying on this DNA report to substantiate your conclusion. Yet you haven't read it and want me to provide you with the link to it when I've told you what is in it. You do realise all the evidence the Portuguese police accumulated has been put on one website? I can't believe someone would come to their conclusion based solely on youtube videos and not ever have visited that site?
Lol nice try...
So in other words you don't have a link to back up what you are saying?
You either have a source to back up your claims or you don't.

The source of which must be the DNA analysis carried out by John Lowe. I have then told you what is in the report to dispute your argument. You then say that because I am not giving a link to this source I have nothing to back up my claim. You admit you haven't read it and don't know where it is and are now implying it may not exist. You are the one seeking to rely primarily on this report to reach your conclusion that her DNA was found in the boot. If anyone should be providing a source it's you otherwise even your opening argument is completely ****g redundant.
Nice try again,
I have certainly read the PJ files, but if you want me to claim I have read and memorised all 30,000+ pages then I won't.
If you thought for a second, what do you think would come up if I type in John Lowe Madeleine McCann into Google?
Err. Maybe look in the mirror to see who is stupid?
I have told you that my understanding is that it is McCann blood (even if more than one). You are suggesting there is more to it, Bogart tells me it matches 15/19 markers of a person who wasn't around, and who do you think I'll believe?
Come on shrewd.. prove your point and don't make yourself look sillier!!

No source, it's just my understanding and I am waiting for an expert to correct me As I said earlier, you can help educate me.
(Off the record, I may have done the Google search above and read said document,but am to silly to relate it to what you claimed above, So a quick copy and paste and you cannot only confirm what you are claiming but educate us also!!)

I'm not sure whether you are now trolling or you are just a complete idiot. You have admitted you have no idea how DNA works but are still trying to draw conclusions from a DNA analysis which a DNA forensic expert has categorically said are not the conclusions that can be drawn from it.I still await your source (it doesn't have to be a link as I am able to find sources) about the law on the admissability of DNA evidence in USA, UK and Portugal. It seems to be a particular expertise of yours. I'm beginning to think you are on some other forum/Youtube comment section in between our replies trying to find responses as your replies don't seem to address what has been said.
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.

We are now at the stage where you have previously said her DNA has been found and now you are saying it might be hers. he has a habit of shifting the goalposts, kept accusing me of saying that I said no body meant there was no abduction - when I said no such thing and asked him to prove it he couldn't so instead changed it to I definitely implied that was the case - then posted my own quotes only for him to finally admit it, makes stuff up as he goes along as he has convinced himself the case has been solved.
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.

You have continually said her blood was found in the car and on more than one occasion that it is a million to one not to be hers.The DNA expert who analysed the blood says he is unable to conclude it is her DNA never mind her blood. You now appear to be agreeing with him.These are two entirely different positions. Banging on about the FBI and Portuguese law which you refuse to provide a source for doesn't change that.Even if it was conclusive that she died in the flat that doesn't take us any further in terms of how she died or who killed her.
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.
So I am really struggling to understand what your point is.

When he is claiming I changed my mind ,when I was simply trying to explain that his expert did not confirm what he was suggesting, he just twists everything around and refuses to accept things even when he has quoted the evidence, I think you should feel lucky that he hasn't responded to you.

Sorry, you are saying they would kill the child in the apartment and run through the streets with the corpse wtf would they do that for Has that ever happened in the whole of criminal history ?It is when these kind of theories start being put forward that you start to realize how outlandish the whole abduction case is.
Not just this, but they killed her behind the sofa.

Well the whole point of an abduction is to get away with the body. If you are abducting kids then it's generally to **** them. If you are the sort of person who **** 3 year olds your not going be particuarly fussy about whether they are breathing or not.

Okay Tobey they are maybe fair points. But if we are going to apply rarity of the crime and rational logic of the killer to the abduction theory then surely that applies to to any other theory.Taking your child on holiday to kill them is extraordinarily rare to the point of I don't think there is a single case of it on record.Why would a person kill their child? Why would they decide to do it abroad? Why not do it at home where you have more time on your hands and know the locality. Why do it in a country where you will be investigated by a foreign police force. Why if it was an accident would you compound matters by trying to to dispose of the body? Especially in a foreign country.They are introducing multiple new ways of getting caught being seen carrying the body away or cctv, seen digging a hole etc. etc.
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.

What I have always struggled with, is the how part if true, if it were accidental death by overdosing on whatever drugs they gave her to try to sleep, how could they have successfully of disposed of the body without any trace or any witness or any discovery since and then step outside the next morning in front of the world's cameras pleaing for help, doesn't make any sense. Not only that, but for years and years after they tried to keep the story in the limelight, books, interviews, court cases etc, you'd think they'd want to get on with their lives if they were guilty, you obviously could say it's a pretence, but that much of a pretence? constantly drawing attention to the disappearance 12 years later? The sheer ease of anyone gaining access to that apartment shouldn't be underestimated either, it was a rented accomodation, I never really heard of past occupants being interviewed/investigated, any one of them could have had a cut key, then there is also the fact it was a ground floor flat, if you were an abductor, you'd not want to be targeting upper levels with an increased chance of being seen/more time to abduct, and it was also right on the outskirts of the complex, easier and quicker to get in and out.If it was an abduction, then they obviously knew full well the parents werent there, as they're were unlikely to go in at that time knowing there's a half decent chance the parents would be there/awake looking after the children. Would be chilling to think they were being watched, any one that worked or frequented the Tapas Bar would also know they'd left their kids alone at night, as they'd seen them around during the day, know how big their group is and how many of their entourage there were, could have worked out nobody was home looking after them. The Casa Pia scandal highlights why pa3do's target Portgual, laxer laws and generally one of the poorer European countries with a police force not well equipped enough to handle such a large scale investigation, look at the pure amateurish operation they initially carried out, did not seal off the complex, did not seal of the apartment, not for a whole 24 hours and let all and sundry walk in and out. They wouldn't even script that in a film it's so daft.There's no doubt however they are an odd couple, I don't think Gerry ever explained why he said on the bus "I'm not here to f****** enjoy myself?" what was that about? They showed little emotion in the aftermath too, no tears or hysterical behaviour, very unanimated, very robotic even, that's what makes it doubly strange, regarless of whether they were involved or were not involed, they had just lost a 3 year old child, unless you're not human you'd show emotion. The only possible explanation for no emotion would be that they knew for some time they were going to lose her, which would play into the hands of the freemason conspiracies.Doubt anyone will ever know. Same as Ben Needham.
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.
