The Inquisitr, 16 November - Are Madeleine McCann Detectives Quizzing The Right Suspects?

"Are Madeleine McCann Detectives Quizzing The Right Suspects?

Madeleine McCann vanished over seven years ago, but the investigation surrounding what happened to her is an ongoing endeavor that has cost British taxpayers at least £10 Million (which is more than $15.6 Million in USD). Over the course of the past several years, Scotland Yard detectives have interrogated a seemingly countless number of suspects, and the number just keeps growing. The Sunday Express reports that a British gardener is among the expats that detectives have recently quizzed, but he has “strongly denied” any presumed connection to the missing child’s disappearance. The Daily Mail also confirms that the self employed gardener has been questioned by police, but his identity isn’t being revealed through any media reports.


The gardener is one of at least five new potential suspects Scotland Yard has intended to question in regards to Madeleine’s 2007 disappearance. However, he was already questioned in the past, and even cooperated with being DNA swabbed the same year the child vanished. The only DNA ever found in the Algarve apartment where Madeleine disappeared belonged to her and her family members. With SY detectives focusing on so many potential suspects — including a high number of British expats — could they suspect that multiple people are involved with the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann? If multiple people orchestrated and executed the abduction of the little girl, then how have they managed to do so without leaving behind any forensic evidence at the scene of the alleged crime, or anywhere else? It seems that officials believe that forensic evidence has been left behind, but up until recently the technology needed to detect it did not exist.

The Mirror reported earlier in October that there are renewed hopes that a presumed captor’s DNA will be found at the source of Madeleine’s disappearance. Forensic experts with Scotland Yard want to use a “new technique” to look for DNA in the curtains that were hanging in the room where the McCann children slept. The curtains have been in sterile storage for the past few years, and agents believe that they are preserved well enough to extract any forensic evidence. They hope that at least traces of a captor’s DNA will be found, but the window itself never showed evidence of an intrusion — just Kate McCann’s fingerprints. This fact was once widely reported by the mainstream media, but is documented on the McCann Files website.

The disappearance of Madeleine McCann has drawn mixed feelings from the public, which can be clearly seen by taking a look on social media. The hashtag #McCann on Twitter is active 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with conversation and debate about the case — some of which gets extremely heated. In fact, social media has played a huge role in showing the polarity between those who believe a stranger kidnapped the child versus those who believe that there is evidence against the parents. There are also people who simply believe that Kate and Gerry McCann were negligent in leaving the little girl alone, and they believe this facilitated the final outcome, whether a stranger kidnapped the girl or not.

While members of the public debate the case, Scotland Yard has apparently cut back on the number of detectives used in Operation Grange. This was announced at the same time that agents declared that they would be interviewing more potential suspects. If the latest developments are connected, what is the strategy? Perhaps investigators believe they are getting closer to the right suspects in the search for Madeleine McCann.

interesting last line.

Either that, or they are beginning to run out of ideas and options and can no longer justify the staff.
They have spent an awful lot of time and money with absolutely zilch to show in the way of results.

I do not believe the Met are daft. They have had access to Holmes 11 and Anacapa all the time. They have had access to all the files. They must know where to look! They may even have had access to phone data that was disallowed in the original investigation. EITHER they well know that they are on an expensive wild goose chase looking for the halt and the lame and any old oddball around in PDL who made a phone call on the night that they have decided is the appropriate one, OR they are eliminating everyone else in PDL at the time, OR seeing them as possible witnesses, including Uncle Tom Cobbley and his horse, before homing in on the most likely people to know what happened. I do hope it is the latter or we are merely paying for them to go round and round in circles. Can you really ask a big team of gumptionful policemen to fart about fruitlessly without one or two of them eventually electing to spill the beans. I think not... so fingers crossed.

I think they re going through a process of elimination and I hope I'm right.

I agree with both of the above posts - but I do not believe they already know who has done this or at least still can't 100% prove it - but elimination of suspects should eventually narrow it down to such an extent that their job either becomes easier or they cannot pin this on anyone - either way these scenarios would not be to the advantage of those who we all think have done it.

Whatever they think is the case there needs to be sufficient evidence to prove it. It can be done without a body, but that is very difficult. There simply may not be enough evidence to take anybody to court, even when they do think they have got the tale sorted. Best chance is witnesses, or someone involved on the periphery who is willing to tell what they know. I don't know for sure what happened, and nor does anybody else on here, though we may have reasonble suspicions. The Met may be pretty sure, but they will only get ONE chance to go to court... if that...

and that's why it was shelved in the first place.

Quite true, Marky... and we may return to that state again... BUT if someone like Mr Murat, who may not have been involved at all, but who may well know what happened talks....

I hope so too "chrissie".....back to the original arguidos.

"They hope that at least traces of a captor’s DNA will be found, but the window itself never showed evidence of an intrusion — just Kate McCann’s fingerprints. This fact was once widely reported by the mainstream media, but is documented on the McCann Files website."

Kate's fingerprints indicating that she had opened the window along with her statement that her and Gerry had NEVER opened the window, are two of the biggest indications of a staged abduction.

From Kate's 6 Sep witness statement:

"The window to Madeleine’s bedroom remained closed, but she doesn’t know if it was locked, shutters and curtains drawn, and that was how it remained since the first day, night and day. She never opened it. If somebody saw the window shutters in Madeleine’s room open, it was not the deponent who opened them, and she never saw them open."
