"20/20" co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas recently spoke with former FBI Special Agent and profiler Brad Garrett, an ABC News consultant, who discussed the details surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.


Elizabeth Vargas talks to Brad Garrett about the McCann case on 11.14.2007.

Reports said the Portuguese police arrived on the scene soon after Madeleine vanished, and left soon after, a fact Garrett called "unusual." Garrett, who has worked on several high-profile missing persons cases, including that of Chandra Levy in Washington, D.C., said investigators would typically form a "command post right inside the resort. You start collecting information, and everything comes back to a lead detective in a room, and that's how you go through the information. You prioritize what needs to be done. ... You want to be right in the middle of the action so you can make snap decisions as to what should be done at any given time."
Garrett added, "You put people in places like airports, ports for boats" and you secure the scene as well as the resort so that everyone coming in and out is vetted.

From his experience, Garrett said that typically, in an investigation like this, the police would obtain and review surveillance tapes from the resort and any surrounding areas. And police would generally have a set team of law enforcement in place from the very beginning.

"Every case that I've worked like this you usually have a case agent, an FBI case agent and a lead detective," he said. "They sit right next to each other, and they work from that location, and everything comes back to them to make decisions on what should be done."

It would have been helpful in the McCann case, Garrett said, to know which cabs arrived at the resort. Additionally, he said police should have spoken with the entire staff at the resort to figure out if there were any people working there who had a history with missing children. "People get hired and there's limited background done on them," he said.

At times, the McCanns expressed little emotion during public appearances related to the case. Reports emerged that they had been advised by law enforcement not to break down in public. Garrett confirmed that "there is a belief in the world of criminal profiling that by keeping a very steady pace and talking in an authoritative but not condescending manner that you're sending a message out" to whoever may have abducted the child.

"You want to keep calm," he said. "The last thing you want is for them to get excited. They see this hysteria, that's one side of it. The other is some of these guys get kicks out of watching parents suffer on camera."

Garrett said Madeleine could have been taken by someone looking to adopt a blond 4-year-old attractive child. In these types of scenarios, "they actually have somebody go out and look for the child," Garrett said. Adoptive parents also might go to an agency that's unscrupulous and abducts children, he said.

But how could someone take Madeleine from her room without anyone hearing her cry or making noise?


Garrett said there are a few explanations. The McCanns have said that their children sleep quite soundly and that the twins apparently slept through the abduction. They even slept through the police coming into the room, the couple said.
Another theory?

Madeleine might have known her abductor, Garrett said. Somebody might have independently befriended her, possibly someone who works at the resort, he said.

"Mum21,

I am convinced that Viv will eventually destroy and dismantle her own blog.Her and I have chatted since the DE days and I have always been openly friendly toward her and supportive of her views. However, if she can alienate me (as she most certainly did tonight), then she can probably alienate anyone. I can honestly say I have lost all respect for her now, and see her as little more than a jumped up conspiracy nut! (this is after over a year, mind you, of seeing her as free-thinking and analytical type of person). I resent being conned, and wish I'd never posted at her site. And I'm sure that others will soon enough come to the same conclusions". By Bianca

I sincere hope they do Bianca, but I am not holding my breath. If they can stay ensconced there when the comments have been designed to invent and see appalling abuse that just isn't there, then I have no hope for them at all.

The aim of today's story is to open as many eyes as possible to the vile tactics of that hell hole blog.
http://justiceformaddie.blogspot.com/2008/05/murder-case-mccanns-would-now-like-to.html

To replicate the relevant posts showing the sort of behaviour one can expect if they go against the vile grain.

To warn decent people who take the time and trouble to visit this blog, what they may have in store for them.

For those that have been maligned on that site today's story is to give you a right to reply and as we cannot go over there and do so, we are asking that we and others be able to do so here.

"I always knew that she was a bully and a resentful woman, but it was the day she gloated to an anonymous troll (me) thinking I was a McCann:

'But my children are alive and well'

That was the day that she showed how absolutely evil she is. Losing a child is the worse pain a person can experience, and she was gloating about that to someone she thought was the person who had lost a child.

She has since murdered that little girl a thousand times over with her and her perverted friend's sick theories which she knows that are lies, but that are allowed because they may cause damage to the McCanns.

There are really no words to describe such an empty vicious human being.

I am off, but will be back tomorrow. Good night everyone."

This is a one off only as a special request, for those that have been utterly appalled at the depravity and the depths to which this person and her ugly perverted followers have sunk and because this blog in particular has come under a sustained and vitriolic attack for months.
