Vermisstenfall Madeleine McCann
17.12.2013 um 16:00Auch wenn es vielleicht kurios ist aber ich bin gespannt ob er was findet.
During the night of Saturday into Sunday, our dog does not stop barking. I go out but I see nothing and nobody that could get him so worked up. He then howls by the door. I don't know what's going on, but being on my own with Inès, I decide to stay close to her indoors and not let my anxiety show. The next day, I still don't understand what could have upset the dog so much. Inès, anxious, wants at all costs to see the neighbours, but they haven't returned.Senhor Dr. Gonçalo Amaral lässt uns zunächst, wie so häufig, teilhaben an seinen privaten Schicksalstagen. Am Wochenende vor dem 1.10.2007 wird er demnach von seinem Hund (Ersatz?) um seinen wohlverdienten Schlaf gebracht. Die Einleitung soll wohl suggerieren, dass Senhor Dr. Gonçalo Amaral einen äußerst unschönen Wochenstart hat.
On Monday October 1st, I go back to work at DIC in Portimão, where two pieces of news are waiting for me: officials at Buckingham Palace have received an email informing them that a little girl - Madeleine - has disappeared from a hotel complex situated....in Lisbon! The second was brought to us by an English tourist - Kate - on holiday in Praia da Luz: she allegedly saw a stranger hanging about near the Baptista supermarket in the vicinity of the Ocean Club.
This is where we're at: reduced to receiving that type of tip-off and chasing a phantom, that of the imaginary abductor. This Monday gets off to a bad start, with its load of irritation and preoccupations.
In the evening, while driving, I receive an unidentified phone call, the last straw...A journalist asks me if I want to comment on the subject of the email. Whether due to the difficult day, the raging storm or the fact of driving through rain...I lose my cool. I reply, irritably, without thinking, that the message is of no interest and that it would be better for the English police to occupy themselves with the Portuguese investigation. Even as I am hanging up, I realise that I have not only made a blunder, but I have been unfair towards the majority of the British police who have helped us throughout these difficult months. I drive on, certain that I have triggered a diplomatic incident with predictable consequences: as soon as these simple words are made public, I risk not being able to continue to direct the Portimão Department of Criminal Investigation.Ein Journalist meldete sich demnach telefonisch bei Senhor Dr. Gonçalo Amaral - und wollte etwas über die besagte E-Mail wissen. He loses his cool? Hm? "Die Mail sei also nicht weiter von Interesse - und für die englische Polizei wäre es besser, wenn sie sich mit den portugiesischen Ermittlungen beschäftigen würden"
According to a British correspondent, the Prime Minister personally called Stuart Prior to ask for confirmation of my dismissal.ein (namenloser) Korrespondent (noch dazu ein britischer!) will ihm zugeflüstert haben, dass er zufällig gerade in der Nähe war, als sich der Premierminister höchstpersönlich telefonisch beim Leiter der Leicester Polizei Stuart Prior erkundigt hat, ob Senhor Dr. Gonçalo Amaral nun tatsächlich abgesetzt wurde.
At last, I get home. It's when I visit my neighbours that I finally understand the reason for my dog's agitation the previous night. Their house has been burgled. The thieves left behind lots of valuable objects but snatched a briefcase containing personal documents. Deep down, I can't help thinking that perhaps they mistook their target.Apropos "verlorengegangen". Hochinteressant finde ich bei dieser ganzen Story, dass ausgerechnet die erwähnte Mail mit der Madeleine-Sichtung in Lissabon nirgends zu finden ist. Ich habe die wahrlich unzähligen Sichtungs-Hinweise in den McCannfiles nun mehrmals durchgeblättert. Jede kleinste Kleinigkeit - jeder noch so sinnlose Hinweis ist fein säuberlich archiviert. Komischerweise aber ist speziell diese Mail einfach nicht auffindbar. Sehr sehr seltsam - wo diese spezielle Nachricht doch so eine außergewöhnliche Konsequenz nach sich gezogen haben soll.
Senhor Tavares de Almeida ist am 25.01.2013 vom Strafgericht in Lissabon zu 2,5 Jahren Haft verurteilt worden. Erneut geht es um schwere Folter- und Misshandlungsvorwürfe - diesmal gegen einen Dieb...Daneben bin ich auf eine weitere, sehr seltsame Begebenheit gestossen.

“Kate called me, she was alone as Gerry was away and she was crying,” he said. “She said she had dreamt that Madeleine was on a hill and that we should search for her there.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/portugal/6974917/Madeleine-McCanns-death-covered-up-by-parents-who-faked-kidnap-court-hears.html
“She gave the impression that she thought she was dead – it was a turning point for us.”
The senior detective said the land was searched but nothing was found.
“That is when we decided to send the specialist dogs in. British police informed us about how they could detect the scent of death.”
