"moita flores
police in pt & uk noticed that the face without mustache matches the child's mother's face
man walks considerable distance carrying a child
abductor would make getaway in a car
photofit is invented and a lie
not possible to see colour of shoes
impossible to see face from profile
it's not possible to recognize face 30 mts in the dark
impossible to see details in shoes, color of the coat
child in fotofit is not 4 years old, it's older
the detail of pyjamas is impossible
mf doubts the theory of abduction because it is impossible,
not reasonable story badly told
multiple falsehoods
photofit comes from false memories
6 months later it is a product from someone's imaginary
take moustache off and it is the mother's face
photofit is completely false
dr sargento clarifies that news in UK media is false, this is not a new photofit
it's a study no photofit was made "

Dr Sargento's video of the impossibility of an abduction.
Basically the photofit is an archetypal image and an abductor would have used a car since the window through which Madeleine was thought to have been abducted overlooks a small car park.
News on Sky News is that the case is drawing to a close. More this evening apparently!

A Portuguese minister has said the investigation into the disappearance of British four-year-old Madeleine McCann is nearing a conclusion.
"We are at a stage now where we are approaching the conclusion of the process," Justice Minister Alberto Costa told a parliamentary committee hearing."
Closing and shelving? Closing and charging someone with involvement in Madeleine's disappearance?
