The simple fact is we simply do not know.

i agree fully, its just sad that our police seemed so "experianced" at everything, and then we get people telling us that the prisons are full, sounds like a cant win, cant win situation.

Ah right.The papers are saying it is blood:confused:.Anyway,if it is found to be blood I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean it is Madeleine's blood.The Portugese police have been so lax in their treatment of that apartment,not sealing off the area,not searching thoroughly for evidence,they've even allowed other families to stay in that apartment since Madeleine's abduction,so the blood or whatever it is could have come from one of these other people and be nothing to do with Madeleine.What a mess.:(
