Dave Edgar Testimony

I was just checking mccann files to find the next Trial date , Tuesday, 19th November and started reading David Edgars' testimony, this bit is interesting :
 
 
 
b) Guerra & Paz's lawyer's questions
 
GP - Did you have access to the criminal process?
DE - answers that he read parts of the files in the translation that the McCanns asked to be done.
 
GP - How did you manage to conduct an investigation without analysing all the process? Whom did you contact in Portugal?
DE - says he contacted an informant who passed information to both the UK and Portuguese authorities. He doesn't want to say to whom he spoke, but says he spoke to someone from the PJ.
 
GP - Do you know that the McCanns initiated a private investigation?
DE -  knows.
 
GP - Was there private investigators before you?
DE - says yes but adds he was the first professional one.
 
Neither the Valentim de Carvalho lawyer nor Gonçalo Amaral lawyer had questions

======================

Didn't come across very well did he:haha:

Came across as sleazy as the pair who hired him!

I believe DE also said he only looked into the random bits given to him by the McCanns

So all of the private investigators hired before him and being paid for by the fund were all unprofessional? What a waste of fund money! The McCanns can't be too pleased with this comment.

Of all the McCanns friends and Professional people, they must have been seething that Dave put up such a poor show. 

Of course the likes of Brian Kennedy who recruited the Detectives didn't want to get involved. Me thinks the testimonies of the Witnesses will do little to prove the McCanns used the Fund to engage the best Detectives.....Metodo 3 and Alpha . 

That's what happens when you have been stuck in a lair for all those years looking for a 'missing' child....fries your brain.

Morning kitti, another thing, the McCanns did not "ask for the translation", Kate says they paid £100,000 for a translation . It really makes my blood boil at the way they have squandered the Fund donated by so many people , including children baking cakes, race night etc, buying Merchandise .

In December 2003 there was £2 million , add £660,000 compensation from The Express , £200,000 from The Sun for serialisation of Kate's first book, T.V. appearances "royalties" (if they ever went into the Fund) sales of Merchandise , a few £1000 donated by various Newspapers for reproducing the "swingers" story, yet they employ , at the behest of Brian Kennedy i suspect , Investigators with absolutely no experience in finding missing children.
