Kate McCann releasing a book...

[Jem_x3]

It also occured to me not much time had passed since Jane saw the alleged kidnapper and Kate "discovering" Maddie was gone. Why did noone run in the direction of the man? Why didn't Jane say immediately "he went that way!". No way would you keep that to yourself. I'd be running like hell to try and find him.

Makes a hell of a lot of sense

That's a good documentary - the McCanns tried to have it banned alongside the detective's book but they eventually lost the case in January of this year.

Just seems odd that when he mentioned his theory, he was suddenly dropped from the investigation...

I don't understand how 2 "normal" people can have so much power to silence people, the press, the police... I realise they have the money from the "fund" that the general public contributed to to find Maddie. I'd be VERY pissed off if I had donated (I didn't because I don't believe them basically) money contributing towards their mortgage payments and legal fee's.

I can't watch all that docu, I will try to though

Surely in the British courts all of these discoveries would be enough to charge them?? It's basically solid. Especially the dogs. I don't understand!

 

[AppleBlossom]

Top lawyers and spokesmen with links to powerful people is a very handy thing to have. Clarence Mitchell was their spokesperson at the time of the media hype. It just so happens that he had very strong links with the former PM Tony Blair and also Rupert Murdoch, who controls a massive proportion of British Media including papers like The Sun (who have always backed the McCanns) and Sky News. Coincidence?

I haven't read this whole thread but wanted to comment anyway

I've said all along they know full well what happened to her, they just didn't/don't act like parents who's child has gone missing.

The sad thing is I'm not sure we will ever know the truth, because they are doctors a lot of people seem to take their word as gospel. Not once have they admitted they were wrong to leave them and at times I wanted to punch the tv to get rid of his smirking face, who the hell smirks when their poor child is missing?? I think I cried over the whole thing than they did and that says something!

If the theory is she fell and died behind the couch perhaps she was still sedated, meaning if she had tests done on her, they would have found it in her system and the McCann's would be in one hell of a lot of trouble. Hence hiding her was the "easiest and safest" option. If she was buried in the sand (I think the beach was an extremely short walk from the apartments and most of the Tapas 9 believe Gerry was gone for around 30 minutes) then her body would have been quite well preserved. It's possible they could have gone back with their new hire car, taken Gerry's holdall, dug her up, put her in the holdall and into the boot of the car without being noticed had they done it at night. Where they eventually buried her is a mystery. They could have moved her to another beach and dumped the holdall in the sea. I'm sure there is a number of places. It doesn't bear thinking about but desperate people do desperate things. They are only human, although what they did was far from human to us

The only thing about this is if Gerry was to bury her with his bare hands, I'm suprised she wasn't discovered, cos you wouldn't think he could dig that deep. And if he disposed of a body at sea - unless he went on a boat out to sea which was weighted down - it would wash up somewhere.

BUT - if the sand would preserve her body I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it would become kind of mummified which would explain the traces of bodily fluids in the hire car/cavader dog being alerted to the boot.

I keep thinking NO PARENT COULD DO THIS, but then I think this is a couple who refuse to acknowledge guilt & who left Madeline when she asked 'why didn't you come when Sean & I cried last night?' - I find that SO interesting....not necessarily the comment itself but WHY the McCanns would choose to make it public?

When Gerry McCann went to check the children, he only stood in the doorway. He said that although he didn't enter the room, he felt as though there was someone in there that shouldn't be. First thing wrong with that is that he has mentioned in previous interviews how he went into the room and stood by Maddie's bed looking at her and thinking how beautiful she was. Second of all, if you went into your child's room and sensed there was a possible stranger in there, would you leave without checking it out? Not a chance, I'd be putting the light on and searching to make sure.

 

[Samemka]

Am I right in thinking the last person to check on Maddie before the 'abduction' was someone 'O'Brien' who is the partner of Jane Tanner? I wonder if she is covering for him with her 'sighting' story?

My god, you have no idea how long it has taken me to read this thread!!

I think they did it

Last night I was thinking this. I'd been reading this thread for most of the night & I nipped upstairs to the loo, not turning lights on cos Katie is the lightest sleeper ever. I got a bit freaked out with all this talk of abductions/cover ups, with it being pitch black upstairs. I thought then, are you telling me you walk into an apartment, find your child missing & don't turn every single light & shout for them repeatedly? My point is, it scared me being in the dark yet Kate leaves without waking her twins......or if she did wake them.....she leaves them awake in a room where her daughter has been stolen from?!

O'Brian was after Gerry I think. He also only stood in the doorway and said that he couldn't actually see Madeleine's bed from where he was, only the twin's cots. When I contemplate any other possibilities, I just keep thinking back to the Smith's sighting. The father claims he didn't sleep for two nights after realising the person he saw was Gerry McCann because he was so haunted by it. Seems he had a bit more than just a hunch that it was him

 

[purpledahlia]

I started reading this thread at 9pm last night, I went and picked A out of bed and brought her into mine at midnight when i put the laptop down because i was freaked out by all this, I wanted her near me!

Kate and Gerry are not acting like normal people who have had their child ''taken'' at all, IMO. I used to think she was still alive, But i just dont now!

 

[AppleBlossom]

Another point made in that documentary is, that if there was an intruder, aside from the fact that Gerry has made a number of points about Maddie being a light sleeper yet she didn't wake and scream nor did the twins wake, but a single intruder could not have succesfully climbed out of the apartment window, carrying a child, without using the bed and wall for leverage and without leaving drag marks on the window itself. There were no marks on the wall or the bed. Either Superman flew in and took her or there was no such intruder

All very good, especially the bit about if the shutters were forced open NO ONE had even noticed despite constantly walking past it & how Kate said way too much.....

 

[Jem_x3]

Absolutely. Aside from the fact the window was so small. How could they squeeze themself through a window whilst holding a child? And they couldn't possibly have said they went through the unlocked doors as they apparently could see them and were watching them most of the night. The theory that she heard Gerry talking outside and went to look makes sense as the window facing the road was the one behind the sofa. I can't fathom why your first reaction to find your child dead would be to pick them up and go hide them but there you go. They obviously cared too much about their image and the fact they'd go to jail for neglect and leave their twins behind. It's sick and Gerry makes me the most sick as the Smiths were absolutely certain it was him. I have no doubt that they saw that stupid man walking toward the beach that night. What are the chances?

I don't understand the actions of the other adults that night but obviously they all want to cover their own backs while believing the Mccans had nothing to do with it. Maybe Jane Tanner did see a man but it was dark and he could of been holding anything. The dark does funny things to your eyesight. I see plenty of things in the dark that aren't actually there, lol. Also the fact Fiona Payne's mother hasn't said a word makes me believe she knew that nothing added up but she didn't want to get involved.

Sorry hun, so it would have been Gerry, O'Brian THEN Kate who checked on her? Her story changed so much there must be a reason for her trying to make out she saw more than she did & I wonder why that is.

Where's the info about the Smith's sighting????

 

[LoraLoo]

I'd be suprised if anyone checked on those children for the whole duration I couldnt sleep last night thinking about poor Maddie xx
