Madeleine McCann

[Arthurgray50@blu]

See no one believes me, l have said from the beginning, about this stranger, and it hinges on this person on the disappearance of Maddie, you see IF people look into the facts of what hppened, the whole question hinges on this guy, and as the retired police officers have said, there are still some unanswered on the Island.

I said at the time, that it was known that Phedo's were in the area, there was a known sex offender killed the day after she went missing, and then it went quiet on the matter and it was all hinging on the main suspect,. Therefore the main culprit was riding off into the sunset with Maddie.

With all due respect Arthur you can say paedo's are about anytime you like in relation to anywhere in the world so that statement while accurate doesn't really prove a point beyond doubt. I will admit i might have missed it but i certainly don't remember any mention of this guy before recently and given this description of him i find it hard to believe it was completely missed wile so many others were dragged into the suspects arena.

It seems as it was reported before.

The couple have carried out their own six-month trawl of the 30,000-page Portuguese police files, which were released last year when the investigation was shelved.

This uncovered the four witness statements about the prowler buried in the dossier.

Thanks Garry. It makes a bit more sense now. Maybe the distinctive features of this man will now work in Madeleine's favour. Let's hope so.

Well lets hope it leads somewhere positive and not where many of us fear this is all going to end.

Hi Rizzyking, Although, the stranger, who is now the prime target, doesn't have to be a phedo, It was said at the time of the kidnapping, that there area was known to the police, that they were in the area, at the time.

It appears very strange, that the police did not take up this stranger situation, as this is where it all hinges. I must confess, it saddens me, when Gerry McCann was walking down the road, to the apartment, the locals were shouting 'go home' which is sick too me, we have a child that has gone missing, HOW do we know if more children have not gone missing in the area, and no one has bothered talking about it.

Extremely inappropriate use of a smiley face there, Arthur (imho).

In your last statement, you are asking a non-provable question.

btw, re your post last night - the Algarve is in Portugal, which is part of the Iberian Peninsula, which is part of mainland Europe; not an island.

Hi Foreverwar, the smiley face, was my sign of friendship between forum members, it was not placed in an appropriate manner.

I for one, really feel for this family, their child has been snatched, and someone, somewhere must know where she is, my saying of ' there could be more children gone missing' you never know, children go missing everyday, all over the world, the Maddie affair has higlighted this, although there are organisations, that look for these poor kids or the vulnerable, adults etc, what we should have in this big TV world, is a Tv Station that should show 24 hours a day, when these people go missing, we have a series on BBC, that is for this purpose, that is long enough.

I would be suprised if the police didn't have a list of people's know to be capable of this and in the area.

Admin edit (Chris): If you want to place yourself at risk of a libel claim, please go and do it elsewhere. Comments removed.

Potentially libellous comments are NOT WELCOME at Cable Forum, as has been made abundantly clear in this thread many times. They may be your genuinely held opinion but that DOES NOT give you an absolute right to air them here.

Posters who cannot respect this simple rule will find they start getting infractions. Infractions mean points. Points means suspension. Too many points means a ban. There will be no more warnings.

My apologies.

Whatever anyone's views on other aspects of this affair are i hope this is a genuine new suspect and one that leads somewhere. Although i sadly don't think maddie is alive would dearly love to be proved wrong i do think closure in some form on this matter is needed for all concerned.

But to be fair, it's not for the money, it's because he is stating they were involved in some form of cover up in her death (imho).
"Mr Amaral must show he had good reason to believe his allegations were true and he made them in good faith.

Unlike in the UK, the McCanns would be eligible for only nominal compensation."
