The Podesta Group did have a company that was located in Portugal the same year she disapeered. I forgot the companies name, it is still up on opensecrets.org though.

the podestas were invited to stay there whilst clem was gone

This needs to be verified! best lead to investigate.

I might have some contacts there. Let me see what I can dig up.

Would help if you guys could find information regarding the people who lived there at the time.

Clem befriended the McCann parents AFTER the abduction. Per Daily Mail story.
