For
those whom have spent seven years
demonising the Portuguese investigation
into Maddie’s disappearance, the
investigations carried out by the
English police in Praia da Luz are
eloquent. Everyone is free to think
whatever they want, but these
excavations give rise to an undeniable
fact: Scotland Yard has gone around the
world and back but is now looking for
Maddie’s body. From now on it becomes
almost impossible to fantasise about the
search for a girl who “appeared” in
thousands of sites around the world and
could be alive.
The only difference between the two
investigations lies in the question of
who was the author of the crime. The
English point to burglers, drug
traffickers, whatever, and exclude the
possibility that anything bad could have
happened within that so united group,
which was accompanying the McCann family
during their Algarve holiday.
On the other hand, the Portuguese
investigation, admits that the latter is
an inevitable object of investigation.
Seven years later, it can be agreed, not
only that the PJ was right when they
searched for a dead person, but also
that all those who dismissed the
Portuguese effort on the basis of a
horrible snobbish conviction, that it
would be impossible to for such a
perverse thing to happen within that
high class English group, were wrong.
There is no need to resort to quoting
Malraux in order to know that the human
condition involves all kinds of
anomalies… |
