AM- The parents of Maddie McCann, who disappeared from the Algarve nearly six years ago, took the opportunity of Christmas celebrations to ask the Portuguese authorities to reopen the process and to resume the search. Gerry and Kate's appeal has been published on their internet page on which they also state that the case still has many stones to turn. What does this mean?

 

CA- We don't know, maybe they don't know it either. It's symptomatic...they didn't ask anything, because there's a way to ask for something, in this case, of the reopening of the process we have to, there's the need to, as we talked a short while ago, whether there is new evidence, whether there's something that may create the expectation in the authorities, that there's the possibility of a positive outcome.

 

What they did was...they've put on their internet page “ We asked the authorities”, but they didn't, because to ask means to send a request to the Prosecutor's Office or to the Judiaciary Police, and that didn't happen. I think what we have here it's some sort of deception.

 

Although inconclusive, I believe this investigation to have been one of the best police investigations in the last years. And why? It's the most world-wide publicised investigation. Three hundred, nearly four hundred Cds with the process have been distributed....

 

AM- We can see the McCann's page now...

 

CA-....Distributed to Media outlets, to lawyers, and the English Police has six investigators analysing the work of the Portuguese Police since the process's been closed in order to find new leads.. They've found zilch. Till now. They found nothing that we could have done that might have led us to a different result, or diligences that we...

 

AM- The McCanns imply that the English Police are looking at the investigation from another perspective, is that so?...

 

CA- Maybe there is a different look, but they haven't seen anything, or, if they did they haven't talked about it yet. What's been done until now; in Portugal we received information from other Police forces, in that way, under those diligences....here we go, the exchange of information is done immediately and the result was always negative. And the English Police, as well as the McCanns start with a serious mistake which is the photofit portrait, that we've talked about already (another case); they keep searching for Maddie with the face she had six years ago...Ana, you know, you are a mother of young children as I am, six years in a child's life it's an enormity.

 

AM- She's not a four year old anymore and she's today, eventually, a ten year old girl, a preadolescent...

 

CA- Ten years old, a different hair-cut, different features....When there is a sighting of Maddie, the child seen in Morocco or in the USA, it is similar to the child who's disappeared...

 

AM- Now we are looking at a progression image that the MCCanns have done...not this one, but that one with the blue dress.

 

CA- This is a progression image that an investigation's agency has done but the McCanns don't accept it...

 

AM- It might be far from reality...

 

CA- The question is that their daughter wouldn't have those features today, and that's the difficulty here; it is not a photo fit but an aging progression photo, let's say...who invented this programme tells us to be possible, from a photo since the moment we are born, to age that photo and see how we will look like ten, twenty, thirty years later...this is totally outdated. We've done already several experiments such as; to age a photo from when we were fifteen to nowadays age...

 

AM- And you'll always get different...

 

CA- There was an aging progression that I couldn't accept; I'm much more handsome now than on that aged photo...

 

AM- That's good!

 

CA- It shows us how this can be misleading. We are talking about technical advances, but sometimes technical doesn't advance as much as we would like, and doesn't achieve what we would like it to achieve, so we must have a certain kind of sensitivity...I think what we have here is that the McCanns and the English authorities are spending an awesome amount of money and the results are nil. The investigation has already cost eight times more than the Portuguese Investigation, with many fewer less results...Look, when they say on their internet page that “We have in Portugal an investigation team” and that means a Communication Agency and a spokesperson, this is a mistake. The investigation's processes, the criminal investigation won't be solved in public fora, nor in newspapers or on television.

 

AM- Do you think the McCanns are ….

 

CA- I think there is a strategy...

 

AM- There's a strategy for public opinion?

 

CA- They abandoned the process in a clearly fragile position, clearly fragile.. because there's the question, looked at before, of the reconstruction of the night, something they refused to do, and the reconstruction, as we've seen before, would tell us where they were at the moment of the crime to see if what they are saying... and this has nothing to do with suspicion...look, to know if from the place where they were, if they could control the apartment, the window. According to what they say...we've done the reconstruction it's impossible from that place to see the apartment from where the little girl disappeared.

 

As the other one who said not to have seen the GNR's officers, and then it was proved that he saw them (another case)... So, a reconstruction would be needed and they refused to do it. More than that, they refused to give any kind of statement to the Portuguese authorities from the moment they were considered suspects.

 

I would act differently; if the Police would find him, my son, they could even arrest me as far as they would bring me back my boy. When one keeps in silence, which is usually the arguido last resort not to be caught... but if it is our son, we'll get slightly more shocked about the situation.

 

So, I think the McCanns left Portugal in a very fragile state in the eyes of Portugal and the world, everybody understood that, and there's another situation, too; the fact that they are in a certain way suspects of something that might have happened, so they want forcefully to open or reopen the process in order to demonstrate that the child is alive, that Maddie is alive. I'm convinced that if the process will ever be reopened we'll never hear of the McCanns again, but this is just my opinion...

 

AM- Very well, let's wait. The McCanns won't stop this process for sure, at least this internet page.
