Hope for Madeleine McCann case as cops are given vital clues

A SECRET dossier on burglars who operate near where Madeleine McCann vanished has been handed to police.

The file is understood to catalogue a spate of break-ins in and around the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.

Portuguese police believe it may hold the clue that will provide a breakthrough in the case.

And they have handed the file to Met investigators in the hope their new inquiry may finally crack the case.

The dossier is full of details about burglaries and break-ins just before the three-year-old disappeared in 2007.

Many were committed by gypsies, according to locals.

One 30-year-old Brit mum claims a scruffy migrant from the former Soviet Union tried to snatch her one-year-old blonde daughter from her holiday apartment 30 miles away in Montechoro six weeks before Madeleine vanished.

She has given a statement to Scotland Yard detectives and is waiting to be interviewed again.

"I'll do anything I can to help," she said.

“Locals claim the burglary file had been kept confidential to avoid scaring off tourists”
"I can't be the only mum who has had a near-miss."

Locals claim the burglary file had been kept confidential to avoid scaring off tourists.

But Portuguese detectives are now said to have shared it with Met officers who are convinced Madeleine was kidnapped after disturbing raiders.

Last week Met Police commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said his officers know the names of their prime suspects.

Mobile phone data analysis has placed three possible intruders near the apartment around the key time.

Sir Bernard, 56, admitted the probe was being hampered because Portuguese police were pursuing a different line of inquiry.

But the handover of the burglary file to their UK counterparts may be seen as a breakthrough in cooperation between the two forces.

Here is a link to an article I posted yesterday (UK time).

Jo Wilson Yes what a shame we don't get to hear about the line of enquiry being followed by the PJ instead of all the nonsense spouted by Bernard Hogan Haye.

Hasn't it sunk in yet with the haters that they HAVE heard what line the PJ are following?

And that it's Tractorman? Maybe their tiny little hater 'minds' can't process that?

thank you bb1, lily.

My friends, this was taken from The Portugal Resident newspaper:

Relations between the Polícia Judiciária (PJ) and Metropolitan Police forces, both of them investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, are once again at a delicate stage.

According to Correio da Manhã newspaper, “the relationship between the British police and the PJ began to become tense when Scotland Yard sent its third letter of request, at a time when work on the second had still not been completed”.

Feeling pressured, the PJ have been further ruffled by remarks in the British press by the McCanns, who say they are “frustrated” by the lack of cooperation between the two forces and wish they “would start working together”.

This story, published last weekend, comes just days after the Daily Mail carried a report on Scotland Yard boss Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe talking to BBC Radio 5 Live about the fact that his officers “have the names of suspects” that they want to interview, but are waiting for the say-so of the PJ before they can do this.

“We have sent three letters of request for international assistance to the Portuguese judiciary, because that is the way their system works,” he told presenter Nicky Campbell, admitting that the Met has “lines of inquiry which are different to the Portuguese Police’s and we are working with them to try and resolve that. We are making some progress.”

Correio da Manhã suggests the progress is tempered. Writing under the headline “McCanns want to give orders to the PJ”, the paper claims that it “knows that many of the steps requested” by the Met, “among them interviews, searches and bank account analysis, cannot be authorised by the prosecutor for the Public Ministry”.

It confirms: “The Porto PJ, which leads the investigation reopened in Portugal, is following a different line to that that the parents of the missing child would like” - thus the parents’ frustration that the investigation is “not going as it should”.

The Met’s latest theories appear to be centred on three former workers at the complex in Praia da Luz from which Madeleine disappeared on May 3, 2007

Meanwhile, tongue-in-cheek Newsbiscuit online service remarked last week that there had been a dearth of “Missing Madeleine” stories on the front page of the Daily Express recently - but this has not stopped the Daily Mail from its regular updates.

Newsbiscuit carries a quote from what it calls “an Express spokesman”: “We’ve got a bet on about how long we can keep a story going with no news content in it whatsoever, and we’ll be damned if it’s going to fall before seven years is up”.

The seventh anniversary of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz is just over two months away.

Rather a nasty little piece, all round.

I am fascinated by CdM's ongoing attempts to sh*t-stir; I don't think there can be too much doubt what's behind that, considering the editior is such a good friend of, and defence witness for, one G. Amaral, disgraced ex-cop.

Incidentally, if there's one person who really is out of the loop, it's G. Amaral, disgraced ex-cop. His former employers wouldn't give the oaf the time of day.

It's very obvious what their agenda is. It only heightens Amoral's desire to not help Madeleine. He never wanted to and it shows.
