Ray of hope? Five years on police in Portugal will pore over thousands of case files in new search for Madeleine McCann

My friends, I received this through google alert:

Many thanks, Pedro.

This is good, Pedro, and I actually trust these people. Poor old Gonc.

There's an awful lot of smoke and noise coming out of Portugal right now, mainly from unknown Sauces via Morais, which means it can be ignored.

However, this is a proper, sourced quote:

The McCanns’ Portuguese lawyer, Rogerio Alves, described the police case review as a ‘very positive sign’.
He said: ‘More than anything Kate and Gerry want to discover what happened to their daughter, whilst of course harbouring the hope of finding her alive.
‘For that to happen, the police need to carry on looking for her and carry on following the leads at their disposal.’

He also told a Portuguese TV station: ‘It’s not absolutely certain but what’s happening at the moment is that some of the information passed to the authorities could lead to a reopening of the case.

Good news: McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell, pictured, said Kate and Gerry welcome the work being done by the Policia Judiciaria in Oporto alongside that of the Met investigative team
'I can’t go into any sort of detail and I hope people will understand me, but at this moment in time there is something that aroused enough interest from the Portuguese and British police to warrant this review in search of new clues.
‘This is all I can say but obviously the most plausible explanation for what’s happening is this one, that information passed to or acquired by the Judicial Police in Oporto has put them on the trail of something specific.’

There is, of course, an elephant in the room which the forkers are studiously ignoring....

Think we should give the forkers a clue? They didn't come forward for three weeks, and then it was only to stress it WASN'T someone.....

And the rest of his large family didn't agree with him. I am discounting his wife since she refused to give another statement. This has got to be the worst I have ever seen in female subjugation.

Ah yes...

The missus won't give another statement, but she agrees with me, honest, guv.

You welcome bb1, I agree with you Sabot.

Yes, Rogério Alves is a proper, reliable source, I truly agree with him.

Well, honestly, Bonny. Would you do that in such circumstances? I certainly wouldn't if I wished to retain any credibility for my own sake. So we can forget about her. Mr. Smith was the only one of nine people who thought it might be Gerry McCann, and after five months of seeing him in photographs and newspapers.

At least Dr. Arul Gaspar had the balls to gainsay his wife. But that doesn't count with The Forkers. Shit, they make me want to spit.
