Home Secretary Jacqui Smith will have to give permission for the Portuguese police to get a re-interview with parents of missing Madeleine McCann.
If Gerry and Kate McCann or in fact any of their friends are to be interviewed by Portuguese police, it has been reported that an application to a British court would have to be filed and agreed on first, this is apparently what the Portuguese detectives are doing right now.
Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman has said that Kate and Gerry are very happy to be re-interviewed by Portuguese police if it is necessary.
This news comes after the Portuguese investigation team came to the UK and met with forensic experts to discuss DNA samples, they flew home yesterday.

Previously the Portuguese public prosecutor would not agree to the McCanns being interviewed without
more evidence. Now there is obviously more evidence!!!

SYNTHESIS OF CHLOROFORM
Required: Calcium Hypochlorite 100g (bleaching powder), acetone 44ml
Sodium hypochlorite solution is sold as liquid pool chlorine.
Chloroform, if stored for more than a few months, decomposes to Phosgene, which was a WW1 era chemical weapon.
Acetone is readily available as nail varnish remover.

Ms Tanner said she saw a man carrying a girl and believes this man was the abductor of Madeleine McCann. Nobody holds a child like that for any length of time. The normal stance would be to keep the child’s body upright with the head resting upon the adult’s shoulder, which would be more comfortable for both.
If this man is the abductor, the only way to remove the child from her bed without waking the twins, would be to use chloroform laden handkerchief in order to keep her asleep. The man that Tanner spotted could be holding the handkerchief against the child’s face, along with a pink blanket or her own pyjama top to keep it in place.
Chloroform decomposes to Phosgene, which is toxic, and would be lethal to a young child.

A Lurking Stranger
“I saw stranger lurking near Madeleine flat” – An unnamed nanny tells police she saw a man “lurking” close to the McCanns’ holiday flat. Her initials are MH. In the summer of 2006, she was babysitting a six-year-old boy in the same apartment used by the McCanns in 2007. She “discovered the suspicious man lurking in bushes”. It was a Thursday. Madeleine disappeared on a Thursday. The Daily Express says there are “marked similarities to the Madeleine case”

Robert Murat is a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. His girlfriend is divorcee Michaela Walczuch. Murat was dating Walczuch while she was still living in her marital home with Portuguese husband Luis Antonio.
All these people have direct links to the Ocean Club territory. Luis Antonio was the pool cleaner and had access to pool cleaning chemicals. According to Portuguese Police, all their alibis have been checked. Miss Walczuch told police she was at a Jehovah\’s Witness meeting in nearby Lagos on 3rd May. But Tiofilo Castelo, a member of the Algarve Regional Association of the Jehovah’s Witnesses said she had been “thrown out” of the church over 12 months ago.

WELL OF COURSE IT IS NECESSARY - SILLY MAN. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY AT SOME POINT BE IT NOW OR NEXT YEAR GOING TO BE INTERVIEWED AGAIN, WHETHER THEY ARE INVOLVED DIRECTLY OR NOT. I DOUBT THAT THE WORD “HAPPY” IS A TRUE STATEMENT, BUT IT BEATS “LUDICROUS” I SUPPOSE
If I was a parent of a missing child, who had been left unattended regularly at night whilst we socialised, not only would we from the outset be deeply regretful, and ashamed that the child(ren) were left alone, and one of them had gone missing- for whatever reason. We could never give up looking for our child, whether this required staying in Portugal, knocking on doors, talking to everyone over again who came into contact with her- looking at photographs in the media, tracing anyone who might have connected with her no matter how slender the chance; looking for any tiny detail or sign as to what might have occured between the time I or my spouse last saw her.
Certainly there would not be the assumption she had been abducted unless we had grave doubts, or proof that we had been followed, and by whom, in which case, would share with the the police every slight encounter, suspicion about a person, no matter how irrational, or absurd. If we truely suspected a predator, then who possibly could it be and why did one of us sense this- racking our brains constantly to think when and where, if more than on one occasion this might have happen?
We would then be in constant touch with the Portuguese police and do whatever we could to facilitate their enquiries and be eternally grateful for whatever assistance and information they could offer uncover or deduce from their enquiries.
Does this sound subjective, judgemental, paraniod?
Rather, it is what we and many parents have discussed since hearing of this case. We agree that we could no sooner start up a campaign, blogsite, smile for the cameras, call up the media, meet any celebrity of religious figure, or receive any funds, no matter how well intentioned such motives were.
It is with utter despair that we feel in this instance, the child’s welfare came second to these parents own welfare- always about their pain, agony loss, but what of the child? What did or is she still suffering and at whose hands? Where is her voice to tell the world her side of the story?
Perhaps it is time for the the parents to show some honest humility and regret, in causing such grief, to so many, for such a reckless decision - rather than trying to reassure themselves that they acted responsibly.
For they have not. No matter how much blame their campaign places upon others, it was theirs and other’s choice- not out of need or necessity, but of abandoning their children for other pleasures, and in doing so taking a risk that could possibly have cost the trauma and life of an innocent and helpless child.

Very, very well said!
