So much for the imminent arrest that was talked about. :roll:

I gather from the papers that a possible sighting in Spain is now being investigated.

I see now the father is complaining about the amount of media coverage :roll:

They have courted the media for weeks to help, and now that there have been suggestions that the Portuguese police are having a closer look at the parents, they're asking for the media to stop reporting it :shock:

He allegedly said that it was not necessary for the media to "bombard people on a daily basis with Madeleine's image". He seemingly said this at the Edinburgh festival...odd place to go when you want to return to a low key existence :roll:

looks like the mother might be prime suspect.

The report I just saw clearly says she's being interviewed as a 'witness', not a suspect, at this time. Personally, I think the Portugese Police haven't a clue.

Now a suspect......

Not a suspect, but has asked that she be subject to a more rigid and intense line of questioning to quell media speculation that she has had anything to do with the abduction of her daughter.

where did you see that? The AP wire has it that she is to be named as a suspect, so does the BBC. They report that under Portuguese law an individual can declare themselves "arguidos" (a formal suspect) in order to receive certain rights, such as access to a lawyer and the right to remain silent, witnesses don't have this protection. However I saw no mention that she requested it, the BBC says "she is to be declared a suspect" which implies that this is a police move. I 'm guessing her husband will be next....

i said at the start i didn't like him, something in the way he even pronounced her name? never thought the wife would be involved but she's had that haunted look for months which i'd gladly put down to the trauma she is suffering, theres been nothing further about the syringe that was found or the woman upstairs saying she heard the kids crying every night while the parents were out, fo a whole week, the papers originally tried to imply that the night in question had been a one off!!!!

we've seen it many times before, a family member making a public plea only for them to be found out as the culprit, the parents also seem to be coming round to the idea that she is dead, tho complained when the local papers implied the same?

i somehow suspect we will never know, if they are responsible then their friends must have been party to the cover up, if that was the case somebody would eventually crack so that they could get a lighter sentence, four months later, tho i don't like them, i think the fact no friend has admitted anything must mean they are innocent, or theres more to the friends involvement than has been noted.

Im trying to get my head around blood found in a car rented 25 days after the child went missing: Im with the gen.parents know more than they are saying

I remember when this first happened I saw an interview with the uncle. He implied that the little girl could be a handful. I remember at the time I figured they wanted to go out and the little girl wasn't cooperating. On the other hand, even if the parents weren't involved, are they just assuming someone would have seen her if she slipped out the front door? People don't pay attention sometimes when there is other movement going on.

Blood in the rental car? I also heard there was blood on the wall.
