Kate McCann releasing a book...

[Georgie90]

That’s exactly the point – her story is too set in stone and she seems to know too much about the ‘abduction’ for it to seem real to me xx

If they refused to answer 40 questions then they are definately covering something up ... fair enough if they genuinely couldnt remember but refuseing to answer thats dodgy as well as the abduction thing you wouldnt just assume that surely you would report them as missing first not just 'abducted' straight away???

I still dont know why the other children werent taken off them becasue thats the first thing i wouldve done if i were the authorities especially as till now no-one knows what happened i doubt shes still alive tho ...

Gerry said they didn't give them anything at all. Then changed it to say he wasn't going to comment. Then Maddie's grandad said that the children WERE given Calpol that night to help them sleep. I don't think you can really accidentally OD on Calpol though. Who knows

I dont get why he said they werent going to omment, and then did I imagine you can OD on calop as its paracetamol xx

They said they would always co-operate with the police in any queries they had, yet when they were interrogated they refused to comment on over 40 questions that they were asked. And you could OD on Calpol but not by accident surely? It only contains a small amount of paracetemol so I would guess you'd have to take quite a lot of it.

Plus paracetamol overdose doesn't cause immediate death ... it's a rather nasty, long drawn out, death by liver failure.

Personally I think it's more likely that she met with an accident whilst alone in the apartment and was found some time later (too much later to allow for pretending it had just happened and calling for an ambulance and when the fact that her parents had been absent was obvious).

If that happened then either her parents panicked and stupidly hid her body or there was some other reason why they didn't want her to undergo a post mortem - if the latter, then a lot of people point to a statement made by Dr Gasper, which makes for very disturbing reading https://thegaspersstatement.blogspot.com/

Dr Gasper's statement gives me the chills.

 

[Georgie90]

I dont really understand that statement

 

[cupcakekate]

I dont really understand that statement

i must admit, alot of what they say is irrelevant to the case of what happened when maddie disappeared etc. but it still disturbs me that a man would make such sexual innuendos about a little girl (if this is indeed true).. as she doesn't seem very clear on what they were actually talking about, and this ccould have just developed in her head after hearing maddie had gone xx

Dr Gasper's statement gives me the chills.

Me too .... especially as a British Social Worker - Yvonne Martin - who was in Portugal when Madeleine vanished thought she recognised him in relation to her work in child protection

Her statement is on this page - just scan past the Gaspers' statements https://www.mccannfiles.com/id236.html

In my case it doesn't help that he (David Payne) looks like my ex husband - who was a paedophile

 

[Georgie90]

I don’t think that had anything to do with Maddie or the case at all personally, they don’t really seem to be clear about anything, or say why or how they knew they were talking about Maddie xx

Out of all the adults on that holiday, including the McCann's, none of them can be clear on what happened that night. Some say the children were checked ever hour, others say every half hour, others say every 15 minutes, for example. It seems odd that they were all in the same place yet all their statements are all so conflicting

 

[TattiesMum]

I think it's more a case that this conversation (and Yvonne Martin's statement) might provide a reason as to why someone might not want a child who had accidentally died being examined too closely?

Do you think that there was some sort of sexual abuse?

Could be, maybe...I dont agree with them being paeodaphiles, but you never know x

To be honest Hon I don't know what I think on that score - but I know from personal experience that anyone can be a sexual abuser ... abusers sadly don't have neon signs over their heads and wear dirty raincoats

My ex husband is University educated, wealthy, well spoken and was married with 3 children

I think thats mainly bbecause people were shocked that the children were left alone so they tried to make it sound better by saying they were checked on regularly hence the different times

I doubt that there was sexual abuse but then i spose you dont kow what goes on behind closed doors ...

 

[Blah11]

the gasper statement makes me feel

 

[indy and lara]

I do not believe that the outrage people feel surrounding this case has to do with them thinking that they are 'perfect' parents and looking down their noses at the McCanns.

As has been said time and time again, a mistake is not choosing to leave your 3 young children alone in an apartment while you have dinner somewhere else. It is especially not a mistake when you knew that doing this before had caused the children great upset. It was a reckless thing to do and, even without what subsequently happened to Madeleine, it was child endangerment. The McCanns are educated and intelligent people. They planned and thought out their actions regarding leaving the children alone in that apartment. I cannot and will not excuse what they did as a lapse of judgement. They were on holiday at a Mark Warner Complex for goodness sake. They offer babysitting, childminding and a creche. You cannot say you do not want your child left with a stranger yet put them into a creche.

However, whether or not the McCanns were involved I don't know. I do think it is feasible that their confused initial reportswere because they paniced as they had left her alone and knew full well that was neglect. Also, not making eye contact etc does not automatically make them guilty in my books. There are many adults who don't make good eye contact.

One thing that annoys me about a lot of them sites, is the fact they point out they were laughing ten days after, well what ever happened that night, ten days after the would of been in shock so laughing at some point would be normal.

 

[LoraLoo]

I know its a bit off topic, but reading Dr Gaspers statement, am I right thinking that the parents allowed other parents- men, to bath their children?

Yes, they would take it turns. As in tonight you would bath all the children, tomorrow night I would bath all the children. Or at least that is what I understood from it

Why not just bath your own kids? I find that odd, personally. I would never allow any of my male friends to bath my children. Sorry to go off topic there
