The software of the English will be used to supply further clues to the investigation

by Nuno Miguel Maia and Óscar Queirós

The Scotland Yard possesses software designed to reconstitute, in a virtual way, the facts that have been reported by the various witnesses who have intervened in the process of Maddie’s disappearance.

The existence of this tool may be important to find new leads, in order to solve the case. The versions of those involved may be crossed referenced, and after the data is processed by the software, one can understand what adds up – and what does not.

In this software, one can insert photos and the description of the apartment, including Maddie’s bedroom, drawings or photos of the entries, routes to the restaurant – and a description thereof – where the parents and friends were dining, their table and the localization and position of each person.

The software will also receive the statements that everyone has made and will be making (the English will hear the McCann couple’s friends again), as these people may recall facts, as small as they may be, and even add objects that may give their descriptions more veracity.

From there on, the investigators may reach more precise conclusions, which, very often, belies the testimonies that have been described in their statements.

Connection chronogram

It should be recalled that, during the 14 months of the investigation, a diligence for the reconstitution of the facts with the participation of Kate and Gerry McCann and their friends was not performed1 due to the lack of agreement and “availability” concerning the date that was set by the PJ. The Public Ministry eventually forgo the execution of that step. This is considered by many to be the major lapse in the investigation.

The reconstruction without the presence or the cooperation of arguidos or witnesses has been performed by the Judiciary Police for several years. However, in a more “handmade” approach. In Portugal, and due to the lack of more sophisticated means, like the software used by the English, the PJ uses what is described as a “connection chronogram” [timeline], creating frames with photographs, drawings and witness statements and statements from the arguidos.

Recently, an official of the British police declared that the time has not yet come to speak again with the McCanns and friends and that they are “breeding the ground” to achieve that.

Citing police sources, the British press reports that “rigorous translations” of the Portuguese process are underway, with a particular zeal regarding the statements of the friends of the couple, “so there is an absolutely certainty of what was stated (by them) and its significance.”

The Cancelled Re-enactment http://themaddiecasefiles.com/topic24-10.html in Volume XVI of the process - The emails exchange between the Tapas 7 and the Judiciary Police declining participation in the reconstruction of the day when Madeleine McCann disappeared.

So sy will do a virtual reconstruction via a computer software programme...mmm

at least the translation should be relatively easy...i could help them a little...err translates as...well...err

then when these two tasks have been achieved...time to talk tapas

To be honest, I suspect the modelling software will be far more productive than having a physical reconstruction with the culprits most closely involved witnesses.

There should be no obfuscation and although the outcome itself is probably not Evidence, it most certainly would be Intelligence that could and should help the investigation Review make inexorable strides towards a Just conclusion.

Bloody hell, that must be some piece of software. If it can make sense of those statements and do a reconstruction based on what the Tapas said happened it will surely explode

The algorithms will be relentlessly logical and be devoid of the human frailty of being unable to cope reliably with large amounts of conflicting data.

If they go by the Tapas interviews, this reconstruction via software will be hilarious, bet the PJ and SY will be in stitches

Does it have Yakety Sax playing when it does its calculations?

Streuth!

Not heard of a clever piece of equipment that can discern when some has written a lie!

It will blow up since none of it makes any sense.

If SY are only focussing on what happened after 8.30pm, then they're allowing the McC's theory to take precedence over any other theory, ie. that Madeleine died in 5a before 8.30pm with the entire evening being staged to provide an alibi.

I don't recall that there are many (if any) huge discrepancies in their accounts of what took place after 8.30pm are there? They all agree that Gerry, Matthew, Jane and Russell did a certain amount of too-ing and fro-ing to check on various children, Gerry says he saw Madeleine at 9.05pm, Matthew says he can't be sure if he did at 9.35pm and no-one was gone from the table for any length of time apart from Russell, who was looking after a sick child. At 10pm they all ran around like headless chickens searching for the missing and abducted Madeleine. If there are discrepancies, they can be put down to forgetfulness or the trauma of the 'abduction'.

What the police surely need to be doing is looking more closely at what was going on in 5a before 8.30pm, talking to the Smiths, looking at cctv footage of the area from 5.30pm onwards, talking to witnesses who may have seen anyone carrying anything odd, scrabbling around on the rocks, chucking anything into the sea, etc. leaning on the Tapas 7 about their reasons for the gathering at the Paraiso without inviting the McCanns, cross referencing the creche records with the Tapas 9's versions, interviewing the McCanns about their activities in 5a after 5.30pm on May 3rd, ditto the Paynes, pressing Gerry about his stolen wallet, his claim that he didn't think they'd get a table in the Tapas restaurant despite having already booked one, pressing Kate about why she claims they thought no more about Madeleine's protest over breakfast, when her friend Fi says the opposite and why she signed herself as McCann when her name was Healy?

Are you listening police??
