What do you think of the fact that two suspects were kept under wraps by the police during the McCann case?

Question

It seems like the police had photofits of 2 suspects and we are only being told now?And what about the Sun story today,a woman in Holland reckons she saw Maddie in a shop?Do you think this is true?

Answer 1

I'm really confused.  One of the suspects was seen near a chemist on several occasions.  Why does that make him a suspect?  The other was seen staring towards the area of the McCanns apartment one day.  Yep, that's definitely suspicious.  Don't dare daydream or relax in the sun on holiday because someone will think you're planning an abduction.

And as for the woman in Holland, she mentions a girl with a ponytail but the CCTV doesn't show any ponytail.  And she waited 4 weeks before even reporting it to the Dutch police.

Sorry, but all that comes to mind is the name Clarence and the words "spin spin spin spin".

Answer 2

As Shady say`s. Next question

Answer 3

Rubbish......why do you think nothing was done about it?....

The priest know's all....oh and Kate.

Answer 4

When you consider this case was handled by detective Amaral, whose past is anything but perfect, you can expect anything to happen. Would anyone feel comfortable being interviewed by this man ? Even more surprising is that many anti McCanns are queueing up to buy his book written in Portuguese. Or is it so surprising ?

Answer 5

these 'policemen' do not come out of this smelling of roses......they hounded the parents (even though they knew they were innocent), their drunken boss even has the audacity to write a book on the back of this whole sorry and sorrdid affair.  Poor Maddy.

Answer 6

They look like Hugh Grant and Joey Barton. No wonder those 2 have been so on edge lately.

Answer 7

What do you mean "we are only being told now?" the police don't have to tell you anything, you are not involved.

No idea if the woman is telling the truth or not, how could we know?

Answer 8

Hard to say the investigation seemed so muddled.

Perhpas if the fotofits had been put out at the time something may have come of them - but there is no evidence wirtten that these fotofits were suspects that had been discounted by the portuguese police - which is why there is the controversy that there is over them.  And even if the police had dismissed them - who is to say they had not made a mistake and the public, having witnessed them, may have come forward with more information.

Its difficult to see that the lady in the shop could be correct - for surely if someone turned up in their village with a little girl they didnt have before who spoke english, with a distinctive fleck in the eye, and considering the worldwide coverage about Maddy - someone somewhere would surely have sent a tip off to the police?

Its worrying that she said she had been taken from her holiday and her mummy - but I dont know - hard to believe really.  If it is true then it is gross negligence on the part of the police in portugal not to have done anything about it.

This will rage on for years to come.  The Mystery of Madeleine and I dont think it will ever be solved now.

Answer 9

because they probably thought that they had a possible lead!

Answer 10

I believe that the mother accidentally killed that little girl,and has hidden it from not only the people, but her sub-concious.She has blocked all memory of the incident that happened that evening.That is just my opinion.I just don't see how no one has seen that little girl anywhere.

Answer 11

Where is your link to this please?

In many police cases some of the leads are kept under wraps and known to the police only. I would suspect that it is quite normal for them not to reveal all especially if a child is involved. If a fotofit was published and was a real likeness etc the chances of them killing her must surely double.

As for the woman in Holland, she was plainly mistaken, for if she was right...why did she not do anything????

The photos of this girl in Amsterdam were shown to the McCanns and they dismissed it saying it wasn't her, that is probably why mothing was done.

Answer 12

Spin, spin, spin, courtesy of Mr Mitchell as for this new sighting just goes to show the absolute contempt the Macs and their spokesman have for the British public, their wickedness is boundless.
