Madeleine McCann: Did the camera hold vital clue?
THE detective who led the initial investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance believes her abductor was caught on camera – but revealed that the film was wiped before detectives saw it.
By: James MurrayPublished: Sun, November 7, 2010
Yesterday controversial figure Goncalo Amaral backed Kate and Gerry McCann’s demand for a review and reopening of the investigation.
The Sunday Express took Mr Amaral, whose book Maddy: The Truth Of The Lie was banned briefly from bookstores, to Praia da Luz to ask him to reveal where mistakes were made.
He walked the route he believes the person who snatched Madeleine took. It begins at apartment 5A of the Ocean Club, from where the three-year-old disappeared on May 3, 2007.
Mr Amaral believes the person would have crossed a road leading to a poorly lit road alongside waste ground.
Standing at an entrance to the waste ground, Mr Amaral said: “This area was thoroughly searched.”
He walked a few steps and looked up at a CCTV camera and sighed loudly. The camera belongs to the Estrela da Luz resort hotel. “I believe that the person carrying a child in his arms was captured on film from that very camera,” he said.
“I asked my officers to gather all the CCTV footage in Luz but, by the time they got to this hotel, the film from this camera had been wiped over. It was a mistake and I will always regret it. I do feel Madeleine was let down.”
Walking alongside the waste ground, he enters a narrow street called Rua da Escola Primaria. “This is where there was a significant sighting of a man carrying a child in his arms,” he said. “He was seen by a witness, Martin Smith from Ireland.”
The man with the child continued down the hill and would have come to a crossroads. Opposite the junction is an empty villa with a large garden. The wooden door leading to the garden is open.
“It was open at the time and the villa is still empty,” Mr Amaral said. “My officers spent a lot of time here.”
Mr Amaral concludes that any new investigation should fully consider the statement of Mr Smith. “I hope this is seriously examined because it is an important aspect of the case,” he said.

What a nice piccie of Gonc under the CCTV he didn't bother looking at!
Oh, and would his fan Montclair care to explain this remark?
What CCTV? In Portugal CCTV in the streets is illegal because of privacy laws.
Looks like she's just told another Giant Porkie.

How very strange. CCTV footage that is lost and/or not checked. etc.....
A cynical person may ask if that was done on purpose? If so, to protect whom?
Regarding Montclair, isn't she is girlfriend or something? Of course she will lie.

The new prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann was probably caught on CCTV - but the film was wiped.
A man seen carrying a child around the time Madeleine vanished would have walked directly through a section of road that was covered by a camera.
But by the time Portuguese detectives spoke to the owners of the CCTV at the hotel Estrela da Luz, the film had been wiped.
The spot is a few hundred yards from the apartment where Madeleine vanished in Praia da Luz, Portugal, and is on the route that the suspect would have taken before being spotted by Irishman Martin Smith.
Goncalo Amaral, the controversial Portuguese detective who led the original investigation, said he is convinced the suspect was captured on the camera.
Mr Amaral said: “I believe that the person carrying a child in his arms was captured on film from that very camera.
“I asked my officers to gather all the CCTV footage in Luz but, by the time they got to this hotel, the film from this camera had been wiped over.
"It was a mistake and I will always regret it. I do feel Madeleine was let down.”
Recorded CCTV footage is only retained for a limited time period normally ranging between 48 hours and 30 days.
It is unclear how long it took Amaral’s team to get to the hotel after Madeleine went missing.

It's a rerun of the Express piece, but it's always good to see Gonzo blaming other people for his own innumerable failings.
Is there anyone the Great Co-Ordinator hasn't blamed for the clusterf*ck he created? Apart from himself, of course?
