UK LE request permission to interview 3 suspected burglars!?!

princesspjs said:

I wonder how exactly they expect the Portuguese police to track the three men down. Did they hand them almost 7 year old phone records and say "Please find the 3 people who were talking on these phones at these times."

Now I'm starting to wonder how they could possibly be tracked after all this time just by those phone records. :dunno:

Is it really a smart idea for the British media to claim that an arrest is imminent? Surely, if you were a burglar in the area and you have a vested interest in this case, as soon as you realized the media could be discussing your arrest, you'd flee as fast as you could. It's not really in the best interests of law enforcement to publish things like this, is it?

There is NOTHING in the letter about suspects or arrests, it is a formal request that his been sent to 31 countries.

It is an ordinary request for cooperation between two Governments.

According to the video at the link, the UK have identified the "band of Portugese thieves" who kidnapped little Maddie but international law prevents them from making an arrest.

The reporters are also stunned and at the end of the video even ask each other why wouldn't the UK give the Portugal authorities the information and have them go and arrest them. One reporter says that the problem is that the Portugal police do not want to discuss anything with the UK. (Even the identity of the alleged kidnappers??)

Call me cynical but this just looks so contrived. I don't believe a word of it.

Don't know how to copy paste on this thing but The Telegraph Jan 10 carried the news about the letters and said "Police refused to give details" which has now morphed itself into the burglar fantasy.

Also it was only 2 months ago the prime suspect was alleged to be a black man who had lost a fight with his tractor therefore wasn't able to contradict.

Before that it was child stealing gypsies, a van of cleaners, Posh Spice, Dying Pedophile Raymond Hewlett.

Read the articles carefully. Its called Spin. Take a fact, in this instance the Request Letter, and massage it into something else...self serving mistruths.

This isn't a case that I've followed closely so I don't know all of the details like some of you probably do.

May I ask those of you that are so adamant that burglars didn't have anything to do with this please post who they think is responsible?

From the little information that I have (and it's been a while since I've looked deeply into this case) I originally thought the parents may have accidentally killed her

Oh I get that. I Wondered what happened to tractor man. Is he no longer a suspect?


I was referring to your statement that the letter was sent to 31 countries. What was in the letter? Check phone records?

It's all speculation from McCann spokesman.

(who, by the way, only announced on the official site last week that they wouldn't be giving anymore statements during SY investigation.)

"A spokesman for Madeleine's parents told the Daily Mirror that police were ready to arrest and interview "key suspects".

If these parents are indeed innocent, i hope people stop and think before making accusations, especially against a victims family. I am shocked at how many are disregarding this because it doesn't fit their theory. At what point does a person say "maybe I was wrong"?
