In the Madeleine McCann case, the UK police attended 'secret' Portugal meeting to work out where she could be buried ?

Let's suppose that the Smiths are not mistaken and that they did see Gerry carry the body the beach... let's further suppose that Gerry was carrying out  instruction from England to take Madeleine to the beach where presumably there were 2 or 3 guys with a small motorboat to take the body to sea for burial/disposal.  Let's further supose that if this really happened, that the boat would have to be back on land BEFORE sunrise so it would not be seen.

Where could the boat have taken Madeleine ?   It could not have sailed East or West because that would be routes along the coast. They could only go SOUTH. That would be the fastest way to reach a distance as far away as possible from Praia Da Luz.   Now Katie found Madeleine missing at around 10 pm and the Smiths, I believe, 'saw' Gerry running and carrying Maddie to the beach at about 11:00 PM.  A small motor boat cruises at about 9, 10 or 11 knots (20 km/h or 13 mph). The boat would have had 6 hours to dispose of the body before sunrise and that means a distance of about 2 hours sail from Praia da Luz beach or about 15 kilometers/10 miles out at sea.  They will never find Madeleine!  She would have been buried and weighed down to a depth of 2,000 feet according to Google Earth.

Finally and like many people, I suspect that, yes, they are trying to lumber the German pedophile/murderer with the death of Madeleine.    Please somebody try to prove that I am wrong.   I would be very interested to read your answers.  Thank you

    lol...and people are still talking about that case! I think Gerry and his wife buried Maddy after Gerry quickly hid  her body on the beach after he realized that he and his wife would face prosecution for not watching her and drugging her up to make her go to sleep. The German guy is just more nonsense to keep the money making scheme going

    My reply to 'snafu'

    Difficult to prove anything when they won't go near a court of Law and when our English police officers were told to investigate the case and look for leads that the child was abducted and to ignore anything that pointed to the McCanns. And don't tell me about 'burdens of proof'  I am an English lawyer, sunshine !   With my question I meant to explore another aspect of the case based on the news that Portugal, Germany and England got together to try and work out where the body might be buried when the evidence of the Smith family was totally ignored.   Perhaps you'd care to answer why 13 MILLION Pounds have been spent on this case when thousands of other cases of child disappearances have not had a penny spent on them. Who is the moron here, then ?!

    Let’s just make stuff up, great game.  The onus is on you to prove it.  That’s why we have a legal system and a court of law.  And one of the major pillars of that legal system is “innocent until proven guilty”. So if you have solid evidence instead of supposition, hand it over to the police.

    Edit:  you’re a lawyer, seriously? I would change your profession if I were you.  You haven’t got a leg to stand on.  Resorting to personal insult confirms it. 

    I don’t know if that German suspect was responsible or not.  I’m not in a position to judge that.  Nobody is going to or has to prove you wrong, because quite frankly your opinion is irrelevant.  Trial by social media is dangerous, misguided and irresponsible. Opinion and hearsay isn’t evidence. That won’t swing it.
