Maddy police 'following eight major new leads'

14 Dec 2011


Scotland Yard detectives searching for Madeleine McCann are examining up to eight "very important" new leads after meeting Spanish private investigators, it was claimed today.

Four officers yesterday visited the Barcelona HQ of Metodo 3, the agency employed to look for her by Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry for six months after she vanished.

The British officers, from a 30-strong Met team reviewing the case, took away 30 boxes of documents compiled by the private detectives.
The agency's director, Francisco Marco, said there were "six, seven or eight very important leads" within the files which he claimed could help police to solve the case.
Madeleine, of Rothley in Leicestershire, disappeared from her parents' holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve in Portugal in May 2007. She was days short of her fourth birthday.
It is the second visit by British officers, who were in Barcelona last month. Mr Marco said on Spanish TV today: "We have provided them with all the documents and information we have collated worldwide about Madeleine's disappearance so they can continue the investigations we carried out in Spain, Morocco and the rest of the world.
"I think there are six, seven or eight very important leads in there."
He claimed Portuguese police ignored the leads for political reasons, and that when his investigators visited Portugal, "we were never allowed to do a proper job. The English police are now continuing with an investigation which should never have been closed".
Asked if he believed Madeleine is still alive, Mr Marco said: "When we were investigating we were always trying to find a living child. Hopefully for the parents she will be found alive."
Madeleine's parents, who have younger twins, a boy and a girl, hired Metodo 3 to find Madeleine four months after she vanished, for a reported £50,000 a month.
The agency, which it was claimed had 40 staff working on the case, sent a team to Morocco to chase up leads that she might have been smuggled out of Portugal.
Today Mr Marco said he still believed that was "very possibly" what happened to her but he refused to give more details on the leads.

Excellent, find her, bring her home safely found, safely returned.

Well done Metodo 3, keep up the good work Scotland Yard.

MADELEINE McCANN IS A REAL, LIVING, FINDABLE CHILD.

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth in hateland:

New Searches in the case of the missing child




Agents from the Scotland Yard and from the Spanish National Police carry boxes with documents given by the detectives agency, yesterday in Barcelona


by Makya Navarro (Madrid)

Police from the Scotland Yard search for clues about the mysterious disappearance of the little girl, Madeleine McCann, which occurred in May 3, 2007 at the Portuguese Algarve, where she was on holidays with her parents. The little girl disappeared a few days before her fourth birthday.

The British agents collected yesterday from the investigative agency Método 3 various boxes with copies of all the documentation that this private detectives accumulated during the six months they have worked for the parents of the girl. The London Metropolitan police reopened last May the review by order of the prime minister, David Cameron, and due to the request made by the parents.

Since then, Scotland Yard, reviews the investigations that were carried out accordingly.
They also have available a copy of the Portuguese police investigations, that archived the case in July of 2008 due to lack of evidence.

Scotland Yard has allocated thirty people to this new investigation.
In the night of her disappearance, Madeleine slept in a bungalow in Praia da Luz with her two siblings whilst her parents dined at the near by bar.

Neither the police investigation, nor the private searches supported by the parents, nor the noisy media circus created around the dozens of alleged clues of the most varied kind have been able to explain what happened.

I'll check the translation with Mr Google later, we all know what Morais is like for altering things.

But - how do the 8rs like them apples?

All that potential evidence the PJ ignored - good job the Yard can go places private detectives can't, isn't it?

I wonder if it is sinking in yet that the Yard know Madeleine was abducted?

Metodo 3 always were hampered, but they were there on the ground. Tick Tock.

And they never did say that they would have Madeleine home for Christmas. They actually said that they HOPED they would. And who knows, they might have done if Gonc had been even remotely interested in what Metodo discovered.

But I will never get my head around the careers that could have been made if the investigation had been run by honourable men.


I am currently in the middle of accusations against me that I cannot prove to be false since I have no real idea or proof of who is responsible. I only know that something very odd was going on for quite some time., but I did nothing about it at the time because there didn't appear to be any purpose. I just got on with the job.
It is nothing very serious except for accusations against my integrity. But it isn't at all amusing.

So much for Metodo 3 being crooks
Seems Scotland Yard would rather talk to them than the lying fat, good for nothing Gonc.
Him and Cristovao must be the biggest crooks in Portugal.

That is a real bummer, Maggs. What a Effing insult. Scotland yard don't want to know what Gonc has got to say about how he bungled the investigation and tried to stitch up The McCanns.
And of course Metodo 3 aren't crooks. I never thought they were. But I wouldn't mind betting that they got some really interesting stuff. Oh, Glory Be. Tick Tock and all that. The PJ are about to be exposed for continuing to employ a corrupt Detective when they full well knew what he was.

Eight strong leads in Madeleine McCann's disappearance were ignored by Portuguese police, says private detective

International investigation: Francisco Marco, head of the Metodo 3 agency, said his team followed leads worldwide

Scotland Yard detectives searching for Madeleine McCann are examining up to eight 'very important' new leads after meeting private investigators in Spain, it emerged today.
Yesterday four detectives visited the Barcelona headquarters of Metodo 3 - a Spanish agency that spent six months working for Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry.
The British officers - from a 30-strong Metropolitan Police team carrying out a review of the case - took away around 30 boxes of documents compiled by the private investigators.
Afterwards the agency's director, Francisco Marco, said there were 'six, seven or eight very important leads' within the files that could help police locate Madeleine.
Mr Marco also criticised Portuguese police for failing to follow up those leads, and for shelving the Madeleine investigation.
He was a guest on the Spanish TV show The Ana Rosa Programme this morning, and said: 'We have provided (Scotland Yard) with all the documents and information we have collated worldwide about Madeleine's disappearance so they can continue the investigations we carried out in Spain, Morocco and the rest of the world.
'I think there are six, seven or eight very important leads in there.



'They were passed at the time to Portuguese police who ignored them because it was a very politicised issue and they didn't want to look into anything that didn't come from their own sources... because of Portuguese chauvinism in this case, because they didn't want the English (police) or private detectives to discover more than they did.
'Every time anyone from Metodo 3 went to Portugal they were continually followed and monitored to see what they were doing.
'We were never allowed to do a proper job. Scotland Yard can now continue with all the work we did outside of Portugal and inside Portugal as well.

'The English police are now continuing with an investigation which should never have been closed.'
Asked if he believed Madeleine was still alive, Mr Marco said: 'When we were investigating we were always trying to find a living child.
'I'm not going to answer your question because I don't want to offend the parents.
'Hopefully for the parents she will be found alive.
'I am a father, and to lose a child and not know where he or she is is the worst thing in the world.'

Today Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico de Catalunya published photographs of the Scotland Yard detectives, wearing suits, leaving the offices of Metodo 3, in the plush Eixample district of the city.
Metodo 3 were hired by the McCanns to look for their daughter in September 2007 - four months after Madeleine, days short of her fourth birthday, went missing during a family holiday in Praia da Luz, on the Algarve.
Metodo 3 were reportedly paid £50,000 a month to search for Madeleine and sent a team to Morocco to chase up leads that she might have been smuggled out of Portugal to north Africa.
Mr Marco was in daily contact with the McCanns, both doctors, from Rothley, Leicestershire, and claimed he had 40 staff working on the case.
In December 2007 he was criticised after claiming in a newspaper interview that he knew who had abducted Madeleine and would have her home for Christmas.


Metodo 3 continued to work part-time on the search for Madeleine after their six-month contract - funded by the McCanns' backer Brian Kennedy and the Find Madeleine Fund - expired.
Today Mr Marco said he still believed it was 'very possible' Madeleine had been smuggled out of Portugal to Morocco. He refused to go into further detail about the nature of the fresh leads.
Also included in the files taken by Scotland Yard are investigations the agency carried out into Raymond Hewlett, a convicted British paedophile who was in Portugal when Madeleine went missing and left for Morocco three weeks later.

Hewlett, an ex-soldier and convicted child rapist, died of throat cancer at the age of 64 in Germany last year having refused to talk to detectives about Madeleine's disappearance.
David Cameron asked the Met to examine all the evidence connected to the Madeleine case in July.
Scotland Yard detectives travelled to Spain last month to meet officers from the National Police and Civil Guard force.
They were also reportedly interested in chasing up a suspicious incident in Barcelona three days after Madeleine went missing.
A well-dressed woman with an Australian or New Zealand accent, described as looking like Victoria Beckham, is said to have approached a British tourist in the city's port area and asked him: 'Are you here to deliver my new daughter?'

It makes you wonder what The PJ were up to once they had finished following all and sundry. They certainly won't have had time to look for Madeleine. No wonder they didn't find her.

Let's not forget that odd business of Amoral vetoing the early reconstruction because it would have meant closing airspace..

What's that all about?

Erm, Too much like hard work? He would have needed to turn to of an evening, and that was his Me Time.

I agree with this:

"Scotland yard don't want to know what Gonc has got to say about how he bungled the investigation and tried to stitch up The McCanns.
And of course Metodo 3 aren't crooks. I never thought they were. But I wouldn't mind betting that they got some really interesting stuff. Oh, Glory Be. Tick Tock and all that. The PJ are about to be exposed for continuing to employ a corrupt Detective when they full well knew what he was."

"Scotland Yard would rather talk to them than the lying fat, good for nothing Gonc.

Thank you, Pedro. Not a good day for Morais, is it? Scotland Yard are talking to M3 rather than Gonc, and it's confirmed that it was the PJ who passed Kate McCann's diary to a 'Portuguese reporter'.

Who sold it to NOTW for 3,000 pieces of silver. I hope it choked her.

You welcome bb1, I agree.

My friends, I received this through google alert:

Thank you, Pedro, news is coming in very fast today!

Indeed, the more the better. You welcome bb1.

Do the Amaral team realize what an injustice they served to little Madeleine?

Best you read Pedro's update on the Rui Pedro case, Tony:

https://jatyk2.forumotion.co.uk/t901-rui-pedros-case-update

The PJ treated the little boy's family with total contempt.

You know, I try not to get upset or angry, but this has been a black, black day, from that pervert on FB, to the PJ selling Kate's diary, and now what the PJ did to Rui Pedro's family....it's just awful.

I can quite see why Scotland Yard have gone to M3 for information, and bypassed that shower.
