EXCLUSIVE - 195 Leads revealed
An independent investigation team consisting of an undisclosed number
of case file analysts and interpreters, working for a pat on the back,
have compiled what must surely be resembling much of the as yet
undisclosed list of 195 leads painstakingly produced from a mass of
evidence by the Scotland Yard investigation team.
After a careful review of all the evidence from the Portuguese police files and of course omitting spurious sightings, reports from mediums and clairvoyants, we finally came to the same conclusion as the highly paid SY team in that there is a 110% probability that Madeleine is either dead or alive, each possibility ranging around the 50% marker. We can also confirm that the theory of the parents' involvement is as much a conspiracy theory as the following list. We are convinced that the person who took Madeleine from the apartment, as seen by an Irish family of 7, is a criminal and should be treated as such. ASAP!
We therefore demand that the Portuguese plods pick up the investigation again where they dropped it in 2008 and start to investigate each of the 195 leads as regards to their possible significance. Or else campaigns will be started to urge people to refrain from ever listening to Fado again.

A couple of minutes for opening the shutters, window and curtain, taking Madeleine, leaving the apartment, crossing the carpark and walking towards the street where he was seen. | ||||
28 | Gerry changed his statement re point of entry at 21:04 from front door to patio door | ||||

SMITH SIGHTING | |||||
31 | A family of 7 encounter a man carrying a child while going home from a pub at 22:00 on May 3rd. | ||||
32 | The child is of Madeleine's age and height and resembles Madeleine | ||||
33 | The man is of the same height, has the same hair and general appearance of Gerry McCann | ||||
34 | Mr Smith is 60-80 % certain that the person they saw was Gerry McCann | ||||
35 | Aoife Smith describes the pants of the man as having buttons as ornaments | ||||
36 | Gerry McCann is photographed once as owning such pants | ||||
37 | The time of the encounter is the exact same time as the alleged detection of the disappearance although latter is not corroborated by independent witnesses | ||||
38 | The sighting - although reported once in an irish paper - is never picked up by british media or the McCanns although it would have been the best confirmation for an abduction. | ||||
39 | Only two years later the Smith sighting becomes part of their "documentary" although the key points get changed to fit the Tanner sighting | ||||
40 | Pressure put on the PJ to highlight the Tanner sighting came at exactly the same time as the Smith family were being brought back to Portugal to go over the sighting in more detail | ||||
41 | The sighting was in a different part of town from the Tanner sighting | ||||
42 | The carrying style was completely different to that of the Tanner sighting | ||||
43 | The man was heading in a completely different direction from the Tanner sighting | ||||
44 | There was a time difference of 45 minutes between both sightings | ||||
45 | Goncalo Amaral was removed from the case just when he tried to get the Smiths to Portugal again | ||||
46 | Brian Kennedy contacted the Smiths to get them to take part in creating a photofit. | ||||
47 | No innocent person ever came forward regarding the sighting | ||||
48 | The child was carried without a blanket despite the cold night | ||||
JANE TANNER SIGHTING |
|||||
49 | Regarding the sighting by Jane Tanner of the abductor none of the scent tracking dogs followed the trail indicated by Jane, but different routes | ||||
50 | Jeremy Wilkins (independent witness) failed to spot the abductor, despite being only yards away, while chatting to Gerry | ||||
51 | Jeremy Wilkins (independent witness) failed to see Jane Tanner walking by, despite being on the same narrow sidewalk at the same time | ||||
52 | Gerry McCann failed to spot the abductor, despite being only yards away, while chatting to Jeremy | ||||
53 | Gerry contradicted Jeremy by stating that their chat was on the opposite side of and about 30 yards down the road from that as described, and drawn on a map, by Mr Wilkins | ||||
54 | Gerry also contradicted Tanner, by stating that his chat with Jeremy was on the opposite side of and about 30 yards down the road from that mentioned by Jane | ||||
55 | Jane failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking to her apartment at ~21.15 | ||||
56 | Jane failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking from her apartment at ~21.20 | ||||
57 | Jane never bumped into Jeremy Wilkins (who had walked back to his apartment after the chat with Gerry) while walking back from her apartment at ~21.20 | ||||
58 | Russell O'Brien failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking to his apartment at ~21.30 | ||||
59 | Matthew Oldfield failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking to his apartment, which was right next door, at ~21.30 | ||||
60 | Matthew failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking back from his apartment back to check on the McCann children | ||||
61 | Matthew failed to spot the open window and shutters while checking on Madeleine and the twins | ||||
62 | Jane failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking to her apartment at ~21.45 | ||||
63 | Russell failed to spot the open window and shutters at Madeleine's bedroom while walking back from his apartment at ~21.50 | ||||
64 | Tanner's description of the abductor has changed several times | ||||
65 | Tanner's description of the pyjama's worn by the child has improved with time | ||||
66 | Gerry did not hear the raising of the shutters by the abductor while standing in the street with Wilkins | ||||
67 | Jeremy Wilkins did not hear the raising of the shutters by the abductor while standing in the street with Gerry | ||||
68 | The abductor failed to hear either Tanner, Gerry or Wilkins, and continued on the path that would put him in the full vision of all three | ||||
69 | If the abductor had lifted Madeleine out of the bed, then he would be carrying her with her head to his right hand side, not on the left as in Tanner's claimed sighting | ||||
70 | Although Gerry checked all rooms in the apartment during his check he did not spot the hiding abductor | ||||
71 | The abductor did not raise the shutters while Gerry was inside the apartment | ||||
72 | Jane was not only not seen by Gerry and Jeremy but also not heard although she was wearing flip-flops | ||||
73 | Nobody ever mentioned the cars in the road but independent witnesses spoke of at least 2 cars parked close to the pavement where Gerry and Jez were standing, narrowing Jane's path so much that it was impossible she was not noticed by the two men. | ||||
74 | Jane does not inform the parents of her sighting immediately. Only some of the friends | ||||
75 | Although the friends know of her sighting their searches are directed in the opposite direction of where the abductor headed to. | ||||
GEORGE BROOKS SIGHTING |
|||||
76 | A George Brooks saw a couple at 5:55 on the morning of May 4th on his way between Lagos and Praia da Luz | ||||
77 | The man was carrying a child | ||||
78 | At this time the McCanns had left the apartment and were somewhere in the vicinity of Praia da Luz | ||||
79 | They had left the apartment around 5:00 when the police and all search groups had left the area | ||||
80 | They were never asked where exactly they had gone | ||||
81 | Kate claimed in her book they "resumed" their search that early morning although they never went searching the night before | ||||
82 | The night before Gerry was overheard on his mobile talking about a gang of paedophiles having abducted Madeleine | ||||
83 | The next day around 9:30 Kate claimed in a conversation with Yvonne Martin, a social worker, that Madeleine had been abducted by a childless couple | ||||
LAST TIME SEEN |
|||||
84 | In their statements the friends of the McCanns have difficulty to pinpoint the last time they saw Madeleine | ||||
85 | Dianne Webster, whose statements are the only consistent ones, states she saw Madeleine on the 2nd May for the last time. | ||||
86 | Kate McCann claims in her book that the 2nd May was the last happy day as a family of four. What about the 3rd? | ||||
87 | The creche sheets are a mess, partly filled out by the nannies in retrospect, partly not at all. No credible evidence for the whereabouts of Madeleine | ||||
88 | There are no reports about the creche activity in Madeleine's group for the afternoon of May 3rd | ||||
89 | There are strong discrepancies regarding the morning activity of sailing undertaken by the creche | ||||
90 | The nanny does not remember if she accompanied 5 (without Madeleine) or 6 (with Madeleine) children to the beach that morning | ||||
91 | Whereas her first recollections are vague they improve one year later when she recollects an incident on one of the boats where Madeleine was crying. | ||||
92 | The nanny could only have entered a boat with Madeleine by leaving 3 remaining children alone on the beach | ||||
93 | Initially some of the friends claimed that Madeleine had taken part in the children's tennis on the morning of the 3rd | ||||
94 | Madeleine and Ella were allegedly sailing while their parents and friends watched unknown children playing tennis on the court | ||||
95 | Kate went back to the apartment on Tuesday to fetch her camera for the tennis court photo of Madeleine but never bothered to even watch her sailing | ||||
96 | Even in 2008 Rachael Oldfield still claimed that Madeleine had been at the tennis on the morning of the 3rd | ||||
97 | While Jane claims to have seen Madeleine at the sailing, Kate now states in her book that Fiona was unsure wether Madeleine had been at the sailing | ||||
CHANGES IN ROUTINE | |||||
98 | Changes in the holiday routine mark May 3rd as a special day | ||||
99 | While the McCanns claimed they had only ever attended breakfast once on the Sunday, six employees of the Millenium restaurant stated that they had attended regularly. Did they skip breakfast only on the 3rd? | ||||
100 | Lunch was usually taken in the Payne's apartment with the whole group, but not on May 3rd | ||||
101 | The whole group apart from the McCanns went to the beach that afternoon - and did not see Madeleine | ||||
102 | The whole group apart from the McCanns did not attend the usual children's dinner on May 3rd - and did not see Madeleine there | ||||
103 | The McCanns did not take part in the get together on the children's playground on May 3rd - so Madeleine was not seen by the rest of the group | ||||
104 | Russell O'Brien collected his daughter from the creche before the children's dinner - but failed to notice if Madeleine was there or not | ||||
STATEMENTS |
|||||
105 | Russell O'Brien was allowed to make at least 34 amendments to his original statement given to Leicestershire police | ||||
106 | Russell O'Brien changed his statement regarding when and where he collected his daughter from the afternoon creche on May 3rd | ||||
107 | Russell O'Brien claimed that Matthew had been ill on Saturday and had not taken part in the dinner and later changed it to Matt started feeling unwell during that dinner | ||||
108 | Russell O'Brien claimed that the Paynes were the only ones to have used a baby monitor and changed this into the Paynes had used a baby-monitor | ||||
109 | Russell O'Brien claimed that they only checked on their own rooms possibly listening for the other's children and changed this into OFTEN listened at other windows and made checks on some visits | ||||
110 | Russell O'Brien claimed to have checked the McCann's apartment with the help of their key on the Sunday and changed it into checking via the patio doors | ||||
111 | Russell O'Brien claimed to have checked the Oldfield's apartment with the help of their key on the Sunday but Matthew Oldfield claims to have been inside sick. | ||||
112 | Russell O'Brien changed this statement "I believe I saw Madeleine at lunchtime" into "I saw Madeleine at lunchtime" although there was no chance to see her at lunchtime since they did not have lunch together. | ||||
113 | Russell O'Brien claimed that Gerry had left the table between "twenty-one zero five to twenty-one twenty" and changed it into "Gerry was only away for a little while" | ||||
114 | Matthew Oldfield described the curtains in 5A as being yellow and green when in fact they were pink/mauve | ||||
115 | Matthew Oldfield described the little table with a lamp as being round when in fact it was square | ||||
116 | Matthew Oldfield claimed the children's bedroom had two windows when in fact it had only one. | ||||
117 | Matthew Oldfield desribed a bookshelf in 5A that he looked along during his check when in fact there was no bookshelf to look along | ||||
118 | Yellow/green curtains, a lamp on a round table and a bookshelf were part of apartment 5D and not 5A | ||||
119 | Matthew Oldfield initially stated that Kate and the children had been at the tennis court Thursday afternoon contradicting everybody else | ||||
120 | Matthew Oldfield claimed he met the Paynes and Dianne Webster on Thursday night near the top of the road, David Payne states he met him at the pool area and Fiona Payne states she met him outside of 5A. Dianne Webster never saw him at all and thinks he was not at the restaurant when they arrived. | ||||
121 | Jane Tanner claimed she had done a listening check on the Oldfield window on May 2nd although Rachael Oldfield was allegedly sick inside the apartment | ||||
122 | Jane Tanner claimed that each apartment was checked every 15 minutes whereas the McCanns insist on checks every 30 minutes | ||||
123 | Jane Tanner claimed that she knew Gerry had already been in the apartment when she encountered him talking to Jeremy Wilkins. How did she know that? | ||||
124 | Neither Jane Tanner nor Russell O'Brien ever mentioned to portuguese police that they took a baby monitor to Portugal. Only one year later this baby monitor suddenly appeared in her rogatory statement | ||||
125 | Jane Tanner never mentioned cars on the road while she saw the abductor | ||||
126 | David Payne claimed that during his visit at 5A the patio door was open and he entered the apartment while Kate claims the door was closed and he remained outside | ||||
MISC. |
|||||
127 | Kate claimed that Madeleine slept under the covers during her last night because of the cold, Gerry claimed she slept on top of the covers because of the heat | ||||
128 | The cleaner stated that there had been one cot placed in the parent's bedroom during the week, while the McCanns vehemently deny this | ||||
129 | The McCanns both deleted their mobile phone history | ||||
130 | Michael Wright confirmed an unpleasant smell in the hired car during the month of July | ||||
131 | A police witness stated that the boot of the hired car had been left open for a number of consecutive days | ||||
132 | Metodo 3 hired as their private investigators although they had no experience in missing people cases | ||||
133 | The blue/black bag seen in the pictures taken during the night of May 3rd is allegedly missing when police search the villa | ||||
134 | The McCanns NEVER question their friends in spite of the Gaspar statement and lots of changes in their statements | ||||
135 | Gerry McCann planned special events to commemorate her disappearance months in advance | ||||
136 | The FUND (a whole field to investigate - good for at least 10 leads) | ||||
147 | The tacky online store | ||||
148 | No physical search by Kate on the evening of May 3rd, no physical searches by both parents the following days | ||||
149 | They NEVER went anywhere near a country a sighting happened, instead went to different countries to promote the SEARCH | ||||
150 | The India sighting was never confirmed by police | ||||
151 | In fact most sightings were never really followed up by their investigators, the media attention seemed enough | ||||
152 | Shortly after Gerry McCann had visited the Netherlands a letter arrived at a dutch newpaper pinpointing Madeleine's body | ||||
153 | All friends of the McCanns refused a reconstruction in Portugal | ||||
154 | Gerry caught on camera laughing his head off only a few days after his daughter had been 'abducted by paedophiles' as claimed by the parents | ||||
155 | Kate refused to answer 48 questions | ||||
156 | Despite the possibility that Madeleine's disappearance could have been an inside job the twins were placed in the creche the next day | ||||
157 | Despite the proximity of the apartment to the Tapas restaurant Kate left the twins alone to alert the friends and Gerry instead of shouting from the balcony | ||||
158 | As soon as Mark Harrison organised the search with the british dogs the McCanns started trips to a triangle between Budens, Raposeira and Sagres | ||||
159 | Kate checked the breathing of the twins during the night of May 3rd | ||||
160 | The twins never woke up during the police search despite many people entering their bedroom | ||||
161 | The only people having allegedly seen Murat around the apartment on the night of May 3rd were Fiona Payne, Russell O'Brien, Rachael Oldfield and possibly Jane Tanner | ||||
162 | Nobody who knew Robert Murat saw him that night around the apartment | ||||
163 | Robert Murat translated the statements of the nannies and of Dianne Webster, most crucial statements regarding the whereabouts of Madeleine on May 3rd | ||||
164 | Mrs Fenn heard Madeleine crying for 1 hour and 15 minutes on May 1st | ||||
165 | One child threw a tantrum on May 2nd on the playground and had to be carried home. At the same time the McCanns claim Madeleine claimed to have cried. | ||||
166 | The crying stopped abruptly. | ||||
167 | Kate McCann was alone in the apartment at 20:15 on May 2nd getting the children to sleep while her husband was already at the Tapas restaurant | ||||
168 | Kate McCann left the restaurant 5 minutes after Gerry on May 2nd | ||||
169 | Gerry uttered in a spanish interview that their persecution had been bad, but not as bad as the "night we found her" | ||||
170 | Madeleine's bed, that had been made on Wednesday morning for the last time, looked very neat Thursday night | ||||
171 | Although they claimed that they had no buggy for the trip to the Millenium breakfast they had buggies for the trip to the beach on Tuesday | ||||
172 | Although they claimed that the trip to the beach happened on Tuesday, the creche records clearly suggest it happened on Monday | ||||
173 | If there had been a 1 nanny for 3 children ratio as the McCanns claimed, why did Catriona Baker lead 5 OR 6 children alone to the beach? | ||||
174 | Why had Madeleine a "sunburn" on her right arm as shown in the tennis picture? | ||||
175 | Russell O'Brien claimed to have collected his daughter from the creche before 16:45 but also stated that he finished sailing at 16:30 and then went for a swim | ||||
176 | Where was Russell O'Brien between 16:45 and 17:52 when he arrived at the beach restaurant Paraiso? | ||||
177 | Why did he not sign his daughter out from the creche that afternoon? | ||||
178 | The sailing instructors Alice and Chris were not formally interviewed but could have possibly confirmed wether Madeleine had taken part in the sailing on the morning of the 3rd | ||||
179 | Gerry McCann stated that David Payne had entered their apartment to check on Maddie and the twins on the evening of May 2nd | ||||
180 | The above statement was never repeated nor followed up | ||||
181 | Gerry McCann was not in the apartment when Dianne Webster entered it for the first time after the abduction possibly at the time of the Smith sighting | ||||
182 | Kate McCann claims in her book that Gerry was searching together with David Payne at that time but their witness statements say otherwise | ||||
183 | The time of the first alarm given by Kate was never confirmed by independent witnesses. Statements suggest the alarm had been raised around 21:45 | ||||
184 | There was a Junior Group (6-10 year olds) in the same room above the reception that never got a mention | ||||
185 | This explains the statement by one nanny that Madeleine had mainly played with the older children. | ||||
186 | The nannies were transfered to Greece on May 13th and were no longer available to the police | ||||
187 | One nanny was invited by the McCanns into their home before the rogatory interviews | ||||
188 | The same nanny got a new job afterwards and her whereabouts were withheld on the request of the McCanns according to the media | ||||
189 | Research shows that this nanny is now working for a multimillionaire in Manhattan | ||||
190 | The McCanns used the media to introduce changes in their story | ||||
191 | e.g. the additional baby monitor of Jane Tanner entered the story through a briefing by Gerry McCann given David James Smith of The Times | ||||
192 | Charlotte Pennington allegedly remembered Robert Murat being in the vicinity of 5A after a visit by Metodo3 7 months after the disappearance | ||||
193 | Two other witnesses remember Murat as well after 7 months | ||||
194 | Brian Kennedy and Antonio Jimenez from Metodo 3 visited the PJ in November 2007 with alleged evidence incriminating Robert Murat and two other people | ||||
195 Antonio Jimenez was later jailed for stealing drugs from a police storage. |
