A team of British forensic analysts are expected to join DCI Andy Redwood and his team of detectives in Portugal this week in a renewed bid to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Portuguese police sources told the Guardian that the scientists have asked to revisit some of the evidence retrieved from the holiday apartment from which the British toddler went missing on 3 May 2007. The forensic evidence gathered at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance has been stored at the National Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences in Coimbra in central Portugal.

Detectives and forensic technicians from the Metropolitan police are scheduled to visit the laboratory on Wednesday.

Detectives led by Redwood will meet with their Polícia Judiciária counterparts in Faro on Tuesday to discuss the request.

Police said they had not yet received any official orders from the public prosecutor’s office and that the next phase of the investigation was unlikely to commence for at least a fortnight.

A source close to the case told the Guardian that the request appeared “to focus primarily on the further questioning of some of the suspects brought in by Faro police in the summer”.

In July, Portuguese police quizzed four Portuguese nationals who were declared arguidos, or formal suspects. They also spoke to 11 witnesses.

The questioning of these suspects followed the end of major ground-level searches in Praia da Luz in early June, when Scotland Yard detectives scoured a large patch of scrubland.
The force described the operation as the largest overseas deployment ever undertaken by British police, and said it was the “first phase of this investigation” into Madeleine’s disappearance.

Although the searches turned up no fresh evidence, the Met said detectives had gained an “essential understanding of the activity for which people have used this piece of land” and alluded to “substantial work which is yet to be done in the coming months”.


Mayhap some of the DNA and the fingerprints that were never identified matches that of the Portuguese suspects?

I agree with: "Mayhap some of the DNA and the fingerprints that were never identified matches that of the Portuguese suspects?".

If the haters ever bothered to actually read the police files, instead of just pretending to, then they would know about the unidentified material.

Not sure why people are quoting @guardian article when the facts are different

Sane, sensible people will trust the Guardian over a hateblogger, or some Portuguese rag that can't even tell the difference between 'British' and 'English'.

LOL, the woman who hosts a site which contains tens of thousands of copyright articles from newspapers (including The Guardian), so that people can refer to them, is telling everyone not to trust the papers. She is so focused on defending the indefensible that she doesn't even notice the contradictions in her own statements and actions. Why should anyone believe her when she has told so many lies either openly or by omission? We all know she has zero ability to judge what is true and what is not true. She told everybody that herself.

This tells you all anyone needs to know about Morais:



That's her, publicly grovelling to Isabel Duarte for inventing a pack of malicious lies about the lawyer.

FORGIVE ME FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED LIE ~ Morais begging for mercy.

A hounder asks:

Can anyone remind me what was the innocent explanation for Mrs Mcc's fingerprint[s]? being found on the shutters?



The most innocent explanation of all.

THEY WEREN'T.

Do these fools NEVER bother to read the police files?

Outside of the external blinds to the children's bedroom: three inadequate prints were recovered.

Curious, is it not, that not one of the McCann-haters EVER condemns the scumbag/s that abducted Madeleine McCann? Are we to assume that they all think it's OK to abduct sleeping children from their beds?

Have they started their typical posting to display how sorry they are for this pervert being placed in the Madeleine case?

Naturally, Lily.

What with child abuse being the haters' second-favourite topic of conversation (lying, smearing and denigrating the McCann family coming first) it's odd that they seem unaware that perverts speak to other perverts about their sickening activities.

Never mind, the real police know.

Was not some hater idiot claiming earlier today that the Mirror was trying to 'hide' the story about the Yard and the forensics?

What's this, then?

Madeleine McCann: Mystery DNA tested to locate her kidnapper
Oct 14, 2014 20:20 By Gerard Couzens
Metropolitan Police proposing DNA tests on key samples that have been stored for seven years

Scotland Yard detectives probing Madeleine McCann’s disappearance are to propose new tests on mystery DNA that could belong to her kidnapper.

The Operation Grange team have been invited into the bunker where key samples collected from the holiday flat she vanished from are being held.

The Met Police officers plan to discuss new ways of analysing evidence held on file for the past seven years at a forensic science HQ in Coimbra north of Lisbon.

They are expected to focus on DNA found in Madeleine’s bedroom that does not belong to any of her family or workers at the Ocean Club holiday resort where she was staying who were tested at the time.

They hope modern-day technology could help them match the samples, described as “vague”, with DNA taken from three new suspects who were questioned in July.

Their visit to the National Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences comes 24 hours after they met Portuguese police chiefs in the Algarve capital Faro a four-hour drive away.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood and two colleagues pressed for an quick response to their bid to do more background work on the three suspects during talks with local police chiefs Luis Mota Carmo and Ana Paula Rito.

New prosecutor Ines Sequeira, who has the final say about Scotland Yard’s fifth international of request, is expected to answer detectives in the next fortnight.

Mr Redwood declined to comment before being driven away from Faro police station in the back seat of a BMW hire car.

Asked about the new prosecutor and his hopes from the trip to Coimbra, he said: “I’m sorry but I’ve nothing to say.”

They are expected to focus on DNA found in Madeleine’s bedroom that does not belong to any of her family or workers at the Ocean Club holiday resort where she was staying who were tested at the time.



Of course, if the haters spent as much time reading the forensic reports in the police files as they do inventing conspiracies, stalking people, obsessing about the McCanns, fighting with each other and being generally horrible, then they would have known all along about the unidentified material in 5A.

But oh no, they either ignored all that, or didn't bother reading anything that didn't suit their twisted agenda.

Fortunately, the REAL police are a bit more thorough.

It never ceases to amaze me how the assorted numpties seem to imagine themselves as somehow knowing more about any aspect of this investigation than the police themselves.

Oh my.  Stand by for even more anger.   

I doubt if this vile old perv was directly involved, Lily, but there seem to have been rather a lot of them in Portugal at the time Madeleine was abducted. I wonder if he ever bumped into Hewlett?

Hounder:

Call me old fashioned,but shouldn't forensics have been the first or 2nd thing checked at the start of this 3 years ago?

Er, against whom was UNKNOWN DNA supposed to be checked, before the Yard did the work Gonzo should have done seven years ago?

Bonny......*cough* you will be getting them all upset again by even writing about Amoral not doing the work he was supposed to have done or ordered done, 7 years ago.

One never ceases to be amazed by their stupidity.

It's amazing how many of the haters don't know - or pretend they don't know - about the unidentified material. Odd, with them all claiming to have read the police files.
