    Yes...I find it puzzling

    What “puzzles” you Steve F? You’re clearly someone who has experienced a traumatic incident similar to the disappeance of M McCann or your a qualified clinical expert of some kind into human reactions, so tell us what you find puzzling as compared to another similar case that you can quote, or maybe your own experience...

    Lol. That's a heluva hyperbole there. The poster simply asked for other's opinions. If someone can't come up with an opinion there's absolutely no need to introduce amateur psycho-analysis ....

    To stay on track that particular video clip linked has given rise to a lot of comment tbh.

    I'm not great at analysing these type of videos myself tbh but afaik it's normal for people to make decisions about others in a fairly short period of time. Much of human interaction and the reading of body language is intuitive afaik

    Body language anslysis is used by many police forces around the world during questioning etc. I wouldn't mind seeing a professional analyse that clip and some of the others which were broadcast at the time.

    So you never make any involuntary head movements at all when your under pressure. Unimaginable, horrific pressure?

    Forensic Test Results

    Samples collected in the living room of the apartment 5A, block A, Ocean Club, tourist resort - Praia da Luz, Lagos, on August 1st, 2007, following the examination carried out by a British specialist dog team. Delivery note no. 286/2007 - CR/L):

    Objects attributed to the Apartment 5A of the Ocean Club


    86/2007-CRL (1) Pieces of floor-tile identified as number 1
    A DNA result by LCN, that appeared to be from at least three persons and that was too complex for a meaningful interpretation, was obtained from the cellular material collected from these floor tiles.

    286/2007-CRL (2) Pieces of floor-tile identified as number 2
    An inconclusive, incomplete DNA result, consisting of only some unconfirmed DNA components, was obtained from the cellular material recovered from the edges of floor-tile 2 from the apartment floor. The attempt to obtain a DNA profile from any cellular material recovered from the larger area of floor-tile 2 was unfruitful, given that it was not possible to obtain any DNA profile. These samples were then subjected to LCN analysis.

    An incomplete, low-level DNA result was obtained through LCN from cellular material in an area of floor-tile 2. In my opinion, there is not any positive proof that supports the theory of any of the members of the McCann family to have contributed DNA to this result. A DNA result was obtained through LCN consistent with only one DNA component from a second area of floor-tile 2. In my opinion, this component leaves no room for any other interpretation.

    286/2007-CRL (3) Pieces of floor-tile identified as number 3
    The attempts to a DNA profile from any cellular material in two areas of this floor-tile were unfruitful, given that no DNA profile was obtained. These samples were submitted for LCN analysis.

    FSS-GF-679 Emissao 2, Pagina 10

    A DNA result that consisted of only some DNA components was obtained through LCN analysis of cellular material recovered from one area of floor-tile 3. In my opinion, this result left no room for any other interpretation. The attempt made the obtain a DNA profile through LCN from a second area of floor-tile 3 was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained.

    286/2007-CRL (4) Pieces of floor-tile identified as number 4
    Low-level DNA results were obtained through LCN from cellular material present in swabs collected from these floor-tiles. In my opinion, this resuly contained information too meagre [scanty/poor] to permit a meaningful comparison.

    286/2007-CRL (5) Pieces of floor-tile identified close to number 1
    The attempt to obtain a DNA result through the LCN technique from some cellular material present in swabs collected from the marks [spots] 1, 2 and 3 were unfruitful, given that no DNA profile was obtained.

    286/2007-CRL (6) Pieces of skirting board identified as number 1
    A DNA result that appeared to be from at least three persons and that was too complex to permit a meaningful interpretation was obtained through LCN from these objects.

    FSS-GF-679 Emissao 2, Pagina 11

    286/2007-CRL (7) Pieces of skirting board identified as number 2
    A DNA result that appeared to be from at least three persons and that was too complex to permit a meaningful interpretation was obtained through LCN from cellular material recovered from these objects.

    286/2007-CRL (8) Pieces of skirting board identified as numbers 2 and 3
    A DNA result that appeared to be from at least three persons and that was too complex to permit a meaningful interpretation was obtained through LCN from cellular material recovered from these objects.

    286/2007-CRL (9) Pieces of skirting board identified as number 3
    A DNA result that contained information too meagre to permit a meaningful interpretation was obtained through LCN from cellular material present in swabs collected from these objects.

    286/2007-CRL (10) Pieces of skirting board identified as number 4
    A DNA result that appeared to be from at least three persons and that was too complex to permit a meaningful interpretation was obtained through LCN from cellular material recovered from these objects.

    286/2007-CRL (11) Pieces of skirting board identified close to number 1
    A DNA result that appeared to be from at least three persons and that was too complex to permit a meaningful interpretation was obtained through LCN from cellular material recovered from these objects.

    286/2007-CRL (12) Pieces of skirting board identified close to number 4
    Low-level DNA results were obtained through LCN from cellular material present in swabs collected from these objects.
    In my opinion, there exists no proof that supports the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to these results.

    286/2007-CRL (13) Residual/small fragments in the area of the skirting board.
    The attempt to obtain a result through LCN from any cellular material that may have been in these fragments was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

    286/2007-CRL (14) Dust/small fragments in the area of the floor tiles
    This object was not adequate to perform DNA profile tests.

    FSS-GF-679 Emissao 2, Pagina 13

    286/2007-CRL (15) Cement-glue [grouting] between the floor tiles
    The attempt to obtain a result through LCN from any cellular material that may have been in these fragments was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

    286/2007-CRL (16) Cement-glue [grouting] between the floor tiles identified as number 1
    A DNA profile that did not match any [of the five members] of the McCann family was obtained through LCN from cellular material recovered in that area.

    286/2007-CRL (17) Cement-glue [grouting] between the floor tiles identified as number 2
    A DNA profile that appeared to be from at least two sources was obtained through LCN from cellular material recovered in that area. In my opinion, the major part of the profile matched that of Lino Henriques. Breaking [departing] from the principle, for it to have had a DNA contribution from Lino Henriques then the remaining information in the smaller part of the result is too meagre to permit a meaningful interpretation.

    286/2007-CRL (18) Cement-glue [grouting] between the floor tiles identified as number 3
    The attempt to obtain a result through LCN from any cellular material that may have been in these fragments was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

    286/2007-CRL (19) Cement-glue [grouting] between the floor tiles identified as number 4
    The attempt to obtain a result through LCN from any cellular material that may have been in these fragments was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

    286/2007-CRL (20) Fragments of floor tile and grouting
    The attempt to obtain a result through LCN from any cellular material that may have been in these fragments was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

    286/2007-CRL (21) Fragments of bush/shrubbery
    Insofar as it relates to this sample, the examination performed was aimed at the detection of the possible presence of blood, no trace thereof having been found. Particles from the superficial surface layer were recovered and preserved in a way similar to that of hairs and fibres. In my opinion, the capillary roots were not good quality as they were not adequate to perform DNA profile tests.

    286/2007-CRL (22, 23 e 24) Oral swabs for elimination
    A new deposition to report the examination of these objects will be presented at a future time along with the DNA profiles obtained to date from all the DNA results relating to this case.

    286A/2007-CRL 1A & B Swabs collected from the floor of the apartment
    An incomplete DNA result, apparently originating from a male individual but not matching any other profile obtained in this case, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.

    286A/2007-CRL 2A & B Swabs collected from the floor of the apartment
    A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two people, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.
    In my opinion, there are no indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result.

    286A/2007-CRL 3A& B Swabs collected from the floor of the apartment
    An incomplete and weak DNA result comprising only some unconfirmed DNA components was obtained from the cellular material present in the dry swab (3A). The attempt to obtain a result from any cellular material that may have been in the same area and present in the wet swab (3B) was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained. These samples were submitted for LCN tests.

    An incomplete DNA result was obtained through LCN from cellular material present in the swab (286A/2007 CRL 3A). The low-level DNA result showed very meagre information indicating more than one person. Departing from the principle that all confirmed DNA components within the scope of this result originated from a single source, then these pointed to corresponding components in the profile of Madeleine McCann; however, if the DNA within the scope of this result originated from more than one person then the result could be explained as being DNA originating from [a mixture of DNA from both] Kate Healy and Gerald McCann, for example. DNA profiles established through LCN are extremely sensitive; it is not possible to attribute this DNA profile to a particular body fluid. nor to determine how or when that DNA was transferred to that area.

    286A/2007-CRL 4A & B Swabs collected from the wall of the apartment
    An incomplete DNA result, apparently originating from a female individual, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.
    In my opinion, there are no indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result.

    286A/2007-CRL 5A & B Swabs collected from the wall of the apartment
    A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two persons, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.
    In my opinion, there are no indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result. In my opinion, Fernando Viegas could have contributed DNA to this result.

    286A/2007-CRL 11A & B Swabs collected from the wall of the apartment
    The attempt to obtain a DNA result through LCN from all and any cellular material recovered from these combined swabs was unfruitful, given that no profile was obtained, possibly due to the absence of sufficient good quality DNA.

    286A/2007-CRL 12A & B Swabs collected from the wall of the apartment
    A mixed DNA result, apparently originating from at least two persons, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the combined swabs.

    Weak and incomplete DNA results consisting only of some unconfirmed DNA components were obtained from the cellular material present in these wet and dry swabs. In my opinion the results are not adequate for comparison purposes. These samples were submitted for LCN analysis.

    A mixed, low-level DNA result was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in each of the swabs.
    In my opinion, there are no conclusive indications that justify [confirm/prove] the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to these results.

    286A/2007-CRL 15A & B Swabs collected from the rear of the sofa
    A weak and incomplete DNA result showing indications as having come from more than one person was obtained from the cellular material present in dry swab (15A) effected on the rear of the sofa. In my opinion the result is not adequate for comparison purposes. These samples were submitted for LCN analysis.

    A DNA result, apparently originating from at least three persons of whom at least two were male and contributed the majority of the DNA, was obtained from the cellular material present in the wet swab (15B) effected on the rear of the sofa.
    In my opinion, there are no conclusive indications that justify the theory that any member of the McCann family had contributed DNA to this result.

    An incomplete, low-level DNA result, comprising only some DNA components, was obtained through LCN from the cellular material present in the dry swab (15A).

    Forensic Evidence from the McCann hire car.
    Objects attributed to the motor vehicle Renault 'Scenic' (matricula 59-DA-27)

    286C/2007-CRL1 D Nail ([human] hand)
    From this fragment of a nail from the finger of a [human] hand, a DNA result was obtained through the LCN technique which corresponded to Gerald McCann. In the same result an additional DNA component, unique and unconfirmed, was found that left no room for any other interpretation.

    FSS-GF-679 Emissao 2, Pagina 7

    286C/2007-CRL2E Nail (hand)
    From this fragment ... a DNA result was obtained through the LCN technique which corresponded to Kate Healy. In the same DNA result were found two more DNA components, one of which was not confirmed; these DNA components left no room for any other interpretation.

    286C/2007-CRL10 Baggage compartment
    This object comprised two sections of the baggage compartment of the Renault Scenic, the first being a baggage compartment lined with fabric with ventilation holes (designated in the UK laboratory as CRL/10(1)) and, the second a moulded plastic extension (designated in the laboratory as CRL/10(2)).

    A mixed, low-level DNA result, appearing to be from at least three people, was obtained from the cellular material collected (harvested) from the baggage compartment lined with fabric (286C/2007-CRL/10(1)) of the motor vehicle. That sample was submitted to tests to obtain DNA profiles through the LCN technique.

    A DNA result through the LCN technique, which appeared to be from at least three persons, was obtained from the cellular material collected (harvested) from the baggage compartment lined with fabric (286C/2007-CRL/10(1)). In my opinion, this result is too complex to make a meaningful interpretation.

    FSS-GF-679 Emissao 2, Pagina 8

    The attempt to obtain a DNA profile from any cellular material collected from the plastic area on the baggage compartment (286C/2007-CRL /10(2)) was unfruitful [fruitless, in vain, useless, unproductive, unsuccessful], because no DNA profile was obtained.

    A mixed, low-level DNA result, that appeared to be from at least two persons, was obtained from a second area of the baggage compartment plastic (286C/2007-CRL /10(2)). This sample was submitted for tests to obtain DNA profiles through LCN.

    A DNA result by complex LCN that appeared to be from at least three persons, was obtained from cellular material collected on the section of the baggage compartment 286C 2007 CRL10 (2) area 2. In my opinion, that result is too complex for a meaningful interpretation.

    An incomplete, low-level DNA profile that matched corresponding components in the profile of Gerald McCann was obtained from cellular material present on the card key - (286C/2007-CRL (12)). I guess this is the fob of the car-keys

    My colleague, Andrew Palmer, submitted various hair collected from the Renault Scenic for tests, using ... LCN.
    Those hairs were designated as 7B hair 1 and 7C hairs 7, 13 e 15. Attempts to obtain a DNA profile of each hair by LCN was unfruitful, because no DNA profile was obtained by LCN, possibly due to there being an insufficient quantity of good quality DNA.


    An attempt to obtain a DNA profile from any cellular material recovered from one area of the plastic luggage component (286C/2007-CRL(10(2))) from the motor vehicle was unsuccessful in that no DNA profiles were obtained.

    A low level mixed DNA result which appeared to have originated from at least two people was obtained from a second area of the plastic luggage component (286C/2007-CRL(10(2))) from the motor vehicle. In my opinion this result is too complex to interpret at this stage.

    A low level mixed DNA result which appeared to have originated from at least three people was obtained from cellular material recovered from the fibre coated luggage component (286C/2007-CRL(10(1))) from the motor vehicle. In my opinion this result is too complex to interpret at this stage.

    A low level incomplete DNA profile which matched the corresponding components in the DNA profile of Gerald McCann was obtained from cellular material on the key card (286C/2007-CRL(12)). This sample has not been sent for further testing using LCN DNA profiling tests.

    An attempt to obtain an LCN DNA result from any cellular material on the swab from area one of the luggage compartment section (286C/2007 CRL 10) was unsuccesful in that no profile was obtained.

    An incomplete LCN DNA result which appeared to have originated from a male was obtained from cellular material from the swab (286A/2007 CRL 1a & b). The profile did not match any of those previously tested in this case.

    An incomplete LCN DNA result which appeared to have originated from a female was obtained from cellular material from the swab (286A/2007 CRL 4a & b). The profile did not match any of those previously tested in this case.

    An incomplete LCN DNA result which appeared to have originated from a male was obtained from cellular material from the swab (286A12007 CRL 9a & b). The profile did not match any of those previously tested in this case. Furthermore, it did not match the profile obtained from the swab, 286A/2007 CRL 1a & b.

    Mixed LCN DNA results which appeared to have originated from at least two people were obtained from cellular material recovered from the swabs (286A/2007 CRL 2a & b, 5a 7 b, 7a & b, 10a & b and 12a & b). in my opinion there is not evidence to support the view that any of the McCann family contributed DNA to this result.

    Conclusion
    In my opinion, the laboratory results that were attained did not help to clarify whether or not the DNA results obtained within the scope of this case were from Madeleine McCann.

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    I’m just asking Steve what’s puzzling him. Expecting people to control their facial expressions, their eye movements etc even in normal life is ludicrous never mind those who have been plunged into trauma.
    “Puzzled”. “ I can know for certain that if I were G McCann that I wouldn’t have blinked or turned my head in that way were it me. And I don’t think anyone else would either. It’s soo strange to me. No, my eyes would not blink nor would my face turn away were I in the same situation because I’m always in total control irregardless of the levels of stress. Thus I do think that G McCanns facial twitch here should be investigated further as evidence of his guilt in the disappeance of his daughter. It’s not as if people ever physically react involuntarily at all..”.
    Is that a correct summing up Steve if your puzzlement?

    Yes. That’s what I see Steve. Lots of people spend a lot of time on a normal day out in the real world making involuntary physical reactions. Crank up the stress and it get worse. Mourners laugh inappropriately at funerals or deathbed scenes. Unwitting witnesses at house fires and car accidents get angry with first responders. You must know this.

    What makes it so noticeable is prior to the 4 second mark and after he is virtually motionless
    Watch with the sound off makes it even more puzzling what he is "reacting" too :confused:

    I don’t think you get it Steve. People are humans not robots. They are not programmed to react a certain way. Everybody is an individual. Forensic investigative police are trained to watch potential suspects at these press conferences . They are trained to spot give away signs of lying and guilt etc.
    The forensic investigative police from 2 different police forces including the Met of London will have pored over all this footage for hours.
    Do you honestly think they missed something?

    I don’t think you get it Steve. People are humans not robots. They are not programmed to react a certain way. Everybody is an individual. Forensic investigative police are trained to watch potential suspects at these press conferences . They are trained to spot give away signs of lying and guilt etc.

    It looks like I am the only one that is seeing something off by the looks of it :(

    2 Different police forces? Were they cleared by the PJ? What is the conclusion of the PJ? Can anyone inform me please?

    Bar the one news report detailing some joint UK and Portuguese cooperation early on in the investigation and their use and analysis of body language (detailed previously) - there appears to be little if any official comment released or published online or in the usual repertoire- the Mccann PJ files website

    That article indicated that it was issues with observed body language which led to further interviews being undertaken. Though that appears as much detail as there is. Take it as you will.

    There are lots of discussion out there on this and other contemporary video clips - with similar comments to your own.

    The problem with such analysis is that while it may be telling of someone being evasive or other behaviour- afaik it is generally used to point investigators towards further investigations.

    They weren’t arrested by either police force Steve despite all the many many hours of experts perusing all of the evidence including all the press conferences.The Portuguese made them arguidos and subsequently lifted their arguido status.
    12 years on you can keep a candle lighting for that EAW that is never going to happen or you can just accept that there’s no evidence of wrongdoing of any kind on behalf of the McCanns.
    Many forensic detectives, the finest I’m sure from 2 different countries have studied what your staring suspiciously at and clearly see NOTHING that would amount to evidence of wrong doing or they’d have been arrested, no?
    But you don’t agree . That’s fine but you’ll excuse me if I take the word of the experts...
    I wasn’t cleared of suspicion of causing the disappearance of M McCann either Steve. Were you? Does that make us both suspects too?

    Being a place that depend on tourist for living, the only source of income, It does not surprise me that they would blame the parents,
    giving the impression that there are no child snatchers on their patch,
    they don't want to lose customers, as these places depend a lot on families, they want to make people think it is a safe place,
    But then again, no place is safe

    The Portuguese police are the conspires!



    How many kids were snatched on the patch?


    How many of them were blamed on the parents of british kids to bring in a few extra brits on hols?



    Like some of the stuff that gets called far fetched on this thread yet we have this stuff been thrown about.

    Millions still go on holiday to America despite there been terrorist attacks and mass shootings as well as lots of other crime.

    I don't think 1 child getting abducted would put too many people off.

    When journalists research the topic of pedophiles in Portugal and can come up with articles like this - it's worth keeping an open mind about what goes down in Portugal sometimes. I don't think Robeiro - who took over from Amaral - was trying to do anything other than uncover the truth. Amaral was trying to fit up the McCanns in the Public eye to suit his one and only thesis. It's largely thanks to his leaks from the investigation that so much public ire aganst the McCanns exists. Why he remained in his job and wasn't fired after being found guilty of perjury and trying to cover up for his officers beating a confession out of Leonor Cipriano, I don't know. The public attention wouldn't let him have a confession beaten out of Kate McCann so he smeared her via the media. A very nasty piece of work.

    How very dare you try to slander and defame the sainted DR Goncarlo Amaral!!
    An odious piece of work who came a cropper because he was too thick and lazy to realize that he wasn’t going to get his way while the world watched.

    I disagree. The family directly approached and made use of mass media from the very start -
    even where they were advised not to. The case had not even left the ground on the night when the parents started contacting the media and oddly involving public relation professionals.

    The whole thing rapidly descended into a complete farce of their own making and when less than complimentary information was made public by the same media - they didn't like it and started crying how it was all the 'nasty' media's fault. Much of the negartive comments are directly traced back to these shenanigans .

    Admissions from some of their friends within the Tapas 9 - that as least one of their members had an alleged / suspected history with children didn't help their case either *. Then the parents subsequently met with and had dinner with of all people - Clement Freud doesn't even deserve comment for it's stupidity.**

    Amaral from day one had to deal and unravel the unholy mess created by the refusal and reluctance of the parents and their friends to fully cooperate with the investigation.

    That as a superior officer- he was accused of covering up what others had done is on public record. He was certainly had no hand in that beating. Claiming that he wanted a "confession beaten out of Kate McCann" is not only innaccurate but borders on an obvious attempt to smear the investigator because he dared to ask relevant qestions. Questions that were never answer by the relevant people and which ultimately led to the investigations been shut down after the parents fled the country.

    In the end Amaral became a scapegoat of the mess created by the mccann led media machine. That they in turn got burned by this was not really surprising. That Amaral stood up to them and won in court is a matter of public record.

    I thought this was odd, given the officers were acquited. How was he guilty for covering up something that didn't happen?

    The other thing here was the timing - he was charged with a cover up the day after he had been assigned to the Madeleine McCann case. His superiors should really known that this was only going to make the investigation more difficult. He really didn't have a chance without the risk of being hung out to dry as far as I can see.

    What is of interest that despite the tabloid press making out that the investigation was been run by Amaral alone - the UK and Portuguese police were working together in these early stages of the investigation

    In June British criminal profiler Lee Rainbow of the of the British National Policing Improvement Agency recommended that the Polícia Judiciária investigate the McCanns because of 'contradictions' in Gerry McCann's statement.

    In July - a report written by Mark Harrison whose role it was to advise aUK police agencies in cases of missing people, homicides and abductions reportedly focused on the possibility that Madeleine had been killed in the McCann's apartment and that her body was hidden in the local area.

    Harrison was the person who advised that specialist British sniffer dogs (Eddie, a cadaver "enhanced victim recovery" dog and Keela, a blood "crime scene" dog) should be used to examine key sites, such as the McCann's apartment and Robert Murat's home.
