Strong theory that Madeleine’s dead, says senior officer
Alipio Ribeiro, national director of the Portuguese judicial police, said forensic test results on blood traces from the holiday flat were due “imminently”.
But he said the quality of the traces found was “not very good” and it was possible they would be inconclusive. He told Spanish newspaper El Mundo: “Even though it’s a strong theory and there is always a possibility, we cannot say that she has died. It is the theory that we have to work with. It is on the table and is precisely what we are analysing.”
