    The body could have been removed and concealed by the parents before they raised the alarm. This could have been accomplished with the help of somebody local, already known to the couple who perhaps had access to a vacant property which contained a freezer. It's not clear whether their entire movements were being monitored by police during the period beginning three weeks after the disappearance when they were driving the hired car and staying in a rented villa. They were no longer formal suspects at that stage so it's unlikely. An opportunity to finally dispose of the corpse could have arisen.

    So how would that pan out, call up the local body disposal company when you're on holidays???

    The McCann's must be great at networking. Arrive on evening of 28th April - check - Local with freezer equipped vacant property located and suborned within 4 days - check; holiday sorted.

    Is this really what you are going to hinge on for why they didn't do it? The body would have been so dam hard to find hide for 9 adults. They simply couldn't not have pulled this off. Eh really?

    it's got nothing to do with hinges and everything to do with complexity and Occam's Razor favouring the abduction scenario.

    9 adults engaged in a conspiracy, none of whom have come forward after 12 years?

    Accident happened, parents hid body

    By their own admission, they engaged in a "pact of silence".

    I'm not sure you know too much about Occam's razor tbh - as detailed earlier this theorises that simpler solutions are more likely to be correct than complex ones.

    However Occam's razor would normally only be used to adjudicate between theories that have already passed theoretical scrutiny tests and are equally well-supported by evidence.

    So far in this case neither of those criteria have been met in respect of any of the listed scenarios (abduction included) imo.

    With regard to the postulated use of a freezer / fridge to help dispose of a body. Really cant understand how some are so completely focused on only this to the exclusion of everything else as if it proves definitely and shows that somehow an abduction happened - wtf?

    Is such a scenario as incredible as the possibility that some abductor was able to run in between all the alleged checks by the parents etc grab the child and run out and not be seen and leave no trace? Yes it is. Are both still possible? Yes they are.

    Not ruling out any possibilities and that's the point. At the present time the paucity of real information as to what happened that night means that they are all more or less unlikley and / or plausible imo.

    Hiding a body is not the impossible task that people on here seem to make out.
    People were looking for a lost or abducted girl.
    The McCanns were out on their own in the early hours of the morning on 4th May,
    It’s not like there was absolutely no opportunity.

    I do admit that it would be difficult to do.
    It’s also difficult to abduct a child from an apartment that 3 adults had been inside in the space of 50 minutes, as well as several people on the street. And they left absolutely no evidence and nobody in the underworld knows a thing about it.

    You have a funny idea of 'alone': The friends they were dining with, the nannys, several other staff from MW resort, then 9 GNR showed up, then the PJ. They were not just looking for a live girl, they searched through rubbish in bins and looked in drains for the possibility of a body.

    Who said they are all involved? I'd suggest 4 or them know and 5 have suspicions.

    Like what if all 9 were involved. What would you expect? Inaccuracies in statements? Rejecting doing a reconstruction? Contradictions? Obvious lies?

    We have all those things. It smacks of a cover up to the high heavens. The writing is so firmly on the wall. At this point it would be more outrageous if it wasn't a cover up.

    The McCanns kept saying "We'll leave no stone unturned" but their group kept their pact of silence and took no part in a re-construction.

    "Pact of silence" - a 4 year old has disappeared, presumed abducted and her parents and friends chose to remain silent. Crazy.

    When did they admit that? I'd be interested to see that.

    Exactly,

    Judicial secrecy laws forbade them from divulging anything about the case to the general public.

    It didn't however stop Goanco leaking info to the media.

    Did the judicial secrecy laws prevent them doing a reconstruction? No they didn't and under huge pressure from the public they did one. Not with the PJ as requested but with a UK based TV station. Then the inevitable happened and Jane contradicted the story, and hung Gerry out twice as a liar. She clearly didn't go over the notes well enough.

    Its the same point repeated over and over which isnt a fact. They announced she was missing. That could be well off from when she died. So the idea of refusing a theory based off a non fact is ludicrous. The only way to advance everyones understanding is to stay to the facts. Most especially when shutting someone else down.

    This whole thread is endless repetition, from both sides.
    She was undisputedly alive and well up until 6pm. They sat down to dinner at 8:30pm.
    If we are to believe they killed her, its reasonable to assume she died between 6pm and 8:30pm.
    Now of course, they also could have killed her during their sporadic checks of the apartment between 8:30-10pm, but that requires even more mental gymnastics to rationalise.
    Not impossible, but not very likely at all.

    It isn't wild speculation to assume its most likely she died between 6-8:30pm if indeed her parents were responsible for her death.
    I don't understand why you are trying to shut down the idea so fiercely.

    So how would that pan out, call up the local body disposal company when you're on holidays???

    It was David Payne who recommended Praia Da Luz and made arrangements for the entire group so he would have a good knowledge of the area and, presumably, would know English speaking locals. I think it may have been the McCann's first visit but, anyway, finding a burial location that could remain unearthed for ever might not be that difficult in this part of southern Portugal.
    It would not require the skillset or techniques employed by the Sicilian mafia "disposal" units, for example.

    So they did a reconstruction that would be viewed by the General Public on TV.

    The are always contradictions in peoples memories of events.

    If they were conspiring together, they would have rehearsed it, but they didn't.

    Occam's Razor says they weren't in cahoots.



    McCanns did appeal on TV to ask for help in their missing child, as people usually do in missing people cases

    Doctor Groanco did reveal privileged and confidential info in an ongoing investigation to the Press

    Gerry had holidayed in the area previously on a 'golfing holiday afaik'. Plus the couple and others of the group went out running when there. It doesn't take a bunch of rocket scientists to figure out the geography of a relatively low density small seaside town tbh. Plus whoever was responsible for the disappearance of the child may just have been lucky and have got away with it to this day...

    The McCanns et al ran to the media even when they were told not to do so.

    Only Gerry and Jane Tanner got together for a TV programme to revisit the Tanner sighting. They couldnt agree on anything. Looks like the other party of that incident - Jez doesn't agree either. The group never returned to Portugal to do a proper reconstruction to help with the investigation.

    There are so many contradictions and inconsistencies in their accounts - you could drive a bus through them. And it's not just some posters here saying that - the initial investigation also came to the same conclusion.

    I reckon you need to study a bit more about occams razor before using it as some type of defence tbh

    "Goanco"? I presume you mean Goncalo Amaral

    Where does Goncalo Amaral admit that? I'd be interested to see that.

    Explain why the PJ didn't do a reconstruction while all relevant parties were still in PDL? Why did they wait almost a full year and after everyone relevant had returned to the UK before suggesting one? Why did they let the resort ship the two nannies off to Greece the next day?

    Haven't looked in this thread in a while because it just goes round in circles, but are people actually saying that because the McCanns allegedly aired their car boot out, that that is a sign they killed their daughter? Or that they just happened to have some unknown local accomplice that they gave a call to help conceal and dispose of the body? And this local accomplice has never ever been traced? That is just outrageous.

    That amongst other things. Some of the suggestions are farcical i.e.
    They had local help to dispose of the body

    That Gerry McCann disposed of the body at sea and swam/rowed back in time for dinner at 8:30;

    That there has been a pact of silence between the Tapas 7 for the past 12
    years and not one has since come forward or caved under police questioning, leaving aside that it's extremely difficult for two people to keep a secret and virtually impossible for seven;

    That the body was kept in a fridge for three weeks undetected;

    That the McCann's moved the refrigerated body in a rental car while the world was watching them;

    The point I'm making is that Madeline may have died much earlier in the night. Madeline last seen at 5.30. Could easily have been dead by 7 allowing loads of time to hide the body. There might even have enough time left over to reconvene in the apt and write out a version of events!

    Can you honestly imagine your little girl goes missing so you sit down and write out an exact timeline of events on a colouring book? If it's the truth. Why does it need to be written down?

    It needs to be written down because they needed a hard written version of events to reherse from. A version of events that didnt make them look like neglectful parents. They needed a script to regale to their friends and PR team during the night instead of going out looking. The exact thing you would do if you thought for a moment you had actually lost your daughter.

    Perhaps mainly because the police investigation was hampered by a subsequent lack of co-operation from members of the group. Plus most of them had returned to the UK by Mid May. The McCanns scampered back to the UK by September after being made arguidos ...

    When it was asked that members of the group should return to take part in a reconstruction - they prevaricated and then didnt cooperate.

    If they were conspiring together, they would have rehearsed it, but they didn't.

    They wrote out the timeline of events on the night in question. Then when they agreed to do the reconstruction under media pressure a year later Jane gets it wrong and Gerry gets very annoyed with her to the point she that she starts crying. If someone genuinely couldn't remember and got it wrong. You wouldn't chew her out of.it. She got chewed by Gerry because she claimed to know exactly what she saw but contradicted Gerry twice over. He knew how serious that was.

    Your trying to say if there was an abduction you might not remember what side of a narrow road someone you know was on even though you susposidely walked right by them?

    I'm totally up for allowing for some inaccuracies but the problem here is unlikely Gerry, Jane is a terrible liar. This reconstruction was one of the single most revealing episodes of the lie.

    You forgot the scenario of an adult sneaking into a holiday apartment while parents were randomly checking on the children and kidnap the eldest child out of 3 and left zero evidence. I mean, you go on about this theory like it happens every week ! Do you suggest there should be a notice on every holiday apt door stating not to leave your kids out of your sight as kidnappers will nick them ?
    Can you point me to other tourist children that were snatched and never heard off again ?

    Read about reconstructions and why they are done. Conflicting accounts expose liars and normally land you in jail.

    proof - evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth
    evidence - the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid

    So proof is evidence which allow allows truth to be established and evidence is information or facts which allows us to establish the truth.

    While there isn't much physical evidence there's tones of other evidence collected by the PJ. Every single piece of information collected related to the case is evidence. Which each individual can decide if they believe there is proof that any conclusions can be drawn.

    It is bizarre indeed.

    Especially when the two timelines were both written down on the night (on pieces of the torn cover of the missing childs activity book) and then seized by the police.

    The groups initial accounts before police interviews of what they claimed happened plus these two timelines

    Sand - head - sticking is not useful imo

    Sounds like a group of people making best efforts to document their movements in a frantic effort to find their missing child on any available piece of paper within arms reach. There is nothing unreasonable about that at all.

    Read about reconstructions and why they are done. Conflicting accounts expose liars and normally land you in jail.

    Conflicting accounts completely normal and to be expected, especially when multiple people are involved.

    A frantic effort to find a missing child would likely include actually searching. Spinning a yarn on the other hand....

    These are the same 7 people who are such criminal masterminds that they've been able to maintain this cover story for 12 years, but they write down that cover story on a piece of paper on the night of the disappearance for the police to find? Or is that also part of the master plan, to make you think their dumb and throw the cops off the scent, mess with their head?

    Regardless of the parents, but why would the Tapas 7 cover up the disappearance of their friends child for 12 years, what motivation would they have to do that?
    (Cue further wild conspiracy theories...)

    Who said they are all involved? I'd suggest 4 or them know and 5 have suspicions.

    Seriously? lol

    Two different timelines produced at the same time on the activity book of the missing child??? Handwriting appears to be the same. All this raises more questions than it answers tbh.

    That is unless you wish to inexplicabley excuse those who automatically need to be first excluded from further investigation.

    Very odd imo.

    Hyperbole is not usefull. Bizarrely the timeline was written down twice and neither are the same. Btw It's just as possible that just a couple of people were involved. As for motivation - Loss of licence to practice and or children taken into care. Doesn't take a rocket scientist or 'conspiracy' (sic) to consider either of these possibilities...

    Lying in statements is normal. Conflicts in eyewitness accounts is normal. Not actually searching for your missing child is normal. Cadaver/blood sensing dogs alerting in your property, in your car, on your clothes is normal. Intimidating witnesses is normal. Refusing to answer the questions of police is normal. Refusing to attend reconstructions is normal. Refusing to statistically test the DNA evidence using better methods is normal.

    This is just a normal case of a young child abducted by a normal gang of gentlemen. Absolutely nothing to see here. Yikes.

    Ben Needham?

    The same Ben Needham that investigating officers believe he was killed in an accident at his grandparents house during renovations ? They believe he died the same day he disappeared and was moved and buried shortly thereafter .... sounds similar alright !!

    People who think the McCanns were the cause of her death and disappearance, or that it was some combination of the tapas group. Do you think they are absolute criminal masterminds who got away with it? Or is it that there is some huge political cover up to prevent them being brought to justice? Or did the police mess up that much that it's obvious they did it but can't be prosecuted?
