Merci beaucoup Frencheuropean

Thank you, Frencheuropean

Nothing really new in this broadcast today: summary of the case/adverts/old interviews/songs/2/3 invited people speaking briefly/adverts and irritating "we will see about that later in the broadcast" ( = never).Disapointing but not surprising. Apparently Jacques Pradel knew very few about the new developpements and rely on the others to comment further.

Invited : Timothée Boutry (journalist, newspaper Le Parisien), Daniel Carron, (journalist RTL in London), Alain Boulet ( president of a missing children association) and a specialist from IRCGN ( institut de recherche criminelle de la gendarmerie nationale ) for the age developped pictures of missing children. No phone calls from listeners as promises in the beginning ( I tried to phone but gave up, completly lost in the adverts and the recorded messages).

They speak about the age progressed pictures, how it's made, if it's reliable (IRCGN). Boulet say that there is always an hope and parents are often suspected and not enough helped.

Pradel asks T.Boutry what's his intimate conviction about the case. Journalist rather embarrassed, say it's difficult for a journaliste to answer. At the end he says that he can only say he would like to know the truth.

Pradel say that SY asked the Portuguese to reopen the case but they didn't receive any answer (!). Later in the Boadcast, he will receive a message from D.Carron ( who is at the McCann's conference) and corrects that, saying that the answer was negative.

Boutry speak about Amaral's book, the blood in the car...the blood and cadaver dogs. He explain the analyses were made in UK. At the beginning 15 identical elements but after inconclusive, not enough. The crime place not very well preserved. A lot of pressure on the police.Surprising the case was closed so early ( 20 years in France)

Extract from an interview given byAmaral to RTL some years ago, summarized translation by the journalist Anne Claire Danel: Amaral had the conviction Madeleine is dead ( death scent/blood/dogs) Sample not 100/100 recognized.AN IRISH COUPLE SPOTTED GERRY MCCANN THE NIGHT OF THE DISAPPEARANCE WITH A CHILD IN THE ARMS.The McCann are protected. He understood what happened but can't prove it.

Boutry: private detective for the McCans, a lot of money involved, very fast, a lot of suspects with faces horrible and horrible. "With the time, one don't believe anymore in it. They already caught us six month ago. Like saying the wolf is in the town when it's not true=crier au loup-"

Pradel: but last week SY said she could be alive and they are respected?

Boutry:Yes but It's very political ( public opinion).They have 195 leads but which ones? Boutry phoned SY to ask but they didn't want to give an answer to him.They have to translate all the files. Costs a lot of money.Boutry thinks the new aged picture is not very useful because thousands little 9 years old girls look like this one .


D.Carron ( recorded previous day): The Mccann are very popular among the media, each intervention is a succes. It's surprising but sympathie from the public because they represent a typical image what the English do during their holidays. People think : it could have been us. Some condemn them because they left the children alone.But it's a clash between working classe and privileged ones who can afford such holidays.British are pleased SY study the case.



End .

Thanks Frenchie. I will listen to it sometime. Didn't Pradel use to present a programme about true crimes ?

Hello Fedrules,Pradel has apparently a daily programme on RTL about crimes "l'Heure du crime" . But I don't like this radio with a lot of adverts .
