The BBC revelation moment that fizzled out

For those who are not up to speed with the Madeleine McCann case, the three year old girl who went missing in Portugal, a BBC Crimewatch programme in 2013 - sticking to the abduction theory - blew the McCann story wide apart. The original abduction theory had rested on Jane Tanner`s testimony that she had seen the `abductor` crossing the road in front of her.

No she hadn`t - because the innocent father carrying his child from the creche at that particular time and in that particular place had been traced and his testimony had been corroborated.

In the programme Kate and Gerry McCann can be seen in the Crimewatch studio like two frozen rabbits caught in the headlights.

Why?  Since their friend Jane Tanner had not seen the abductor, the whole story that the McCann`s and the Tapas seven had built around this evidence had fallen to pieces.





When I watched the BBC programme and their dramatisation of Gerry visiting his children in the apartment, I noticed that the door was hinged on the wrong side of the door frame and therefore opened in the wrong direction. (I mean, why would you design a door to swing only 90 degrees to hit the wall) I was not the only person who noticed that, and it does not tally with the evidence from the Portuguese police.

You see, the direction in which the door swings determines what the witness can see and is absolutely crucial in determining the validity of witness testimony. No small matter.

Did the BBC just make a simple mistake? You bet they didn`t.

Whatever the BBC and Redwood were up to - and the UK taxpayers have had to pay for - it has had nothing to do with solving a crime.

All of this is in preparation to my introduction to the recent post from Blackwood which is excellent, and begins:
Impossible Consistency
Those who so unwisely put their names to the written statement of events provided to the Portuguese police committed themselves without reservation to the existence of a single abductor seen fleeing with a child in his arms.

I would say that the Government is committed  to the view that these parents are innocent, no matter what the evidence shows.

And I ask why ?
