Now "the abductor" takes Madeleine for a walk ... LOL

Old news, anyway ...

Why do they not keep these sighting secret until they have looked into it? .If I were an abductor I would perhaps say look they still can't find you. What are we saying to Madeleine through all this nasty propaganda.
Clear Kate and Gerry if they were sure they PJ would have been able to find out by now. No-one could keep that pretence this long.
Perhaps I am furious they just have not got her back and this dreaded nightmare over.

This whole case just seems a mess and Madeleine is let down time after time. It's a disgrace. She would have been found by now if the PJ had looked properly in the first place.

In stating that "forensic examinations failed to find any evidence that Madeleine had died or that her corpse had been carried in her parent’s hire car", The Times should make it clear that they are referring to the unofficial tests carried out for and on behalf of the McCanns, and not the official examinations carried out by the PJ and the FSS, the results of which have never been made public.

What most people have failed to grasp is that this investigation is led by the Portuguese who are collaborating with the Leicestershire force. The forensic material was gathered by the British who have also spent the last six months collecting and cross checking witness statements. The decision to reinterview the McCanns and their friends is a joint decision between both forces. We will have to wait to see what evidence the police have and how powerful it is. But one thing is clear: this is a joint Portuguese-British investigation and accusations of incompetence should not be laid against the Iberian force without also pointing the finger at Leicestershire.

it was a failure they acted to late in the beggining and now are trying to wrap up the vague results by shunitng the blame towards someone else, whilst runnig for the trees.

Oliver, London,

The article quotes the results of the forensic examinations when were they made public?

jackiew, london,

Let's home that 'nearing conclusion' means the Police have gathered enough evidence to know what action to take. Haven't the rogatory letters been sent again to the UK for permission for the Portuguese Police to question Kate, Gerry and their friends on British soil. The forty question Kate and Gerry left unanswered when they left Portugal will hopefully be answered soon. That should help the Police inquiry.
