Wasn't it just some sort of sleeping tablet for kids?

 

 

Good post, this whole idea the Portuguese police were completely incompetent is utterly lame and tpical of xenophobic moronic Brits! Sure they never solved it, but neither has anyone else and sadly I too keep coming back to that 'no reply' interview.... it is a weird set of responses from someone 'desperate' to find their missing child!

I really hope the McCanns had nothing to do with it, but truth is often stranger than fiction!

Ignore Martin ... he seems unable to understand what people write these days and often extracts completely the wrong meaning from posts then labels them as **** or some such nonsense!

 

I would be fairly certain that they were fully investigated in this case by police forces in both Portugal and the UK. Yet it's still OK to accuse them of lying, murdering or accidentally killing their child and covering it up.

Can you even imagine the impact of reading something like that would have on them.

Why do we even need to go there?

 

Unfamiliar place... didn't they have a family friend who owned a villa close by....? There was someone local on the news who they knew from the early stages... I think the papers thought he was a suspect at first.

I still can’t understand why she didn’t answer those 48 questions though – they were straight forward – such as “Who do you tell when you discovered your daughter missing”. My answer would have been ‘everybody and everyone in the hotel’ but for some reason she couldn’t answer it that way....???

My theory is that they have self medicated her so that she would sleep through and they have given her too much (perhaps she was dehydrated) and the effects were fatal. Her two brothers also never woke up whilst the police searched the room and whilst they were carried upstairs to another room. She also raised the alarm by going back to the Tapas bar, leaving the two boys alone in the room – which doesn’t make sense if you believe that you daughter has just been kidnapped. Then there is all the evidence from the sniffer dogs and the DNA.........

Just my thoughts anyway.....



here are those questions...

1. On May 3 2007, around 22:00, when you entered the apartment, what did you see? What did you do? Where did you look? What did you touch?
2. Did you search inside the bedroom wardrobe? (she replied that she wouldn’t answer)
3. (shown 2 photographs of her bedroom wardrobe) Can you describe its contents?
4. Why had the curtain behind the sofa in front of the side window (whose photo was shown to her) been tampered with? Did somebody go behind that sofa?
5. How long did your search of the apartment take after you detected your daughter Madeleine’s disappearance?
6. Why did you say from the start that Madeleine had been abducted?
7. Assuming Madeleine had been abducted, why did you leave the twins home alone to go to the ‘Tapas’ and raise the alarm? Because the supposed abductor could still be in the apartment.
8. Why didn’t you ask the twins, at that moment, what had happened to their sister or why didn’t you ask them later on?
9. When you raised the alarm at the ‘Tapas’ what exactly did you say and what were your exact words?
10. What happened after you raised the alarm in the ‘Tapas’?
11. Why did you go and warn your friends instead of shouting from the verandah?
12. Who contacted the authorities?
13. Who took place in the searches?
14. Did anyone outside of the group learn of Madeleine’s disappearance in those following minutes?
15. Did any neighbour offer you help after the disappearance?
16. What does 'we let her down' mean?
17. Did Jane tell you that night that she’d seen a man with a child?
18. How were the authorities contacted and which police force was alerted?
19. During the searches, with the police already there, where did you search for Maddie, how and in what way?
20. Why did the twins not wake up during that search or when they were taken upstairs?
21. Who did you phone after the occurrence?
22. Did you call Sky News?
23. Did you know the danger of calling the media, because it could influence the abductor?
24. Did you ask for a priest?
25. By what means did you divulge Madeleine’s features, by photographs or by any other means?
26. Is it true that during the searches you remained seated on Maddie’s bed without moving?
27. What was your behaviour that night?
28. Did you manage to sleep?
29. Before travelling to Portugal did you make any comment about a foreboding or a bad feeling?
30. What was Madeleine’s behaviour like?
31. Did Maddie suffer from any illness or take any medication?
32. What was Madeleine’s relationship like with her brother and sister?
33. What was Madeleine’s relationship like with her brother and sister, friends and school mates?
34. As for your professional life, in how many and which hospitals have you worked?
35. What is your medical specialty?
36. Have you ever done shift work in any emergency services or other services?
37. Did you work every day?
38. At a certain point you stopped working, why?
39. Are the twins difficult to get to sleep? Are they restless and does that cause you uneasiness?
40. Is it true that sometimes you despaired with your children’s behaviour and that left you feeling very uneasy?
41. Is it true that in England you even considered handing over Madeleine’s custody to a relative?
42. In England, did you medicate your children? What type of medication?
43. In the case files you were SHOWN CANINE forensic testing films, where you can see them marking due to detection of the scent of human corpse and blood traces, also human, and only human, as well as all the comments of the technician in charge of them. After watching and after the marking of the scent of corpse in your bedroom beside the wardrobe and behind the sofa, pushed up against the sofa wall, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
44. When the sniffer dog also marked human blood behind the sofa, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
45. When the sniffer dog marked the scent of corpse coming from the vehicle you hired a month after the disappearance, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
46. When human blood was marked in the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
47. When confronted with the results of Maddie’s DNA, whose analysis was carried out in a British laboratory, collected from behind the sofa and the boot of the vehicle, did you say you couldn’t explain any more than you already had?
48. Did you have any responsibility or intervention in your daughter’s disappearance?

A QUESTION SHE DID ANSWER
Q. Are you aware that in not answering the questions you are jeopardising the investigation, which seeks to discover what happened to your daughter?
A. 'Yes, if that’s what the investigation thinks.'

 

I think they found numerous types of medication missing from the hospital stocks where they worked at.

No pointing the finger, but there were stocks missing......

 

I think you're just some kind of macabre gossip

 

lol - oh don't be like that. I'm merely posting my thoughts and keeping Scoobynet ticking over

 

That is strange why she didn't answer any questions?

 

To me, when you look at each question; the police will already know what the answer is. They will have done the enquiry around it and know what the truthful answer should be. Yet she answers 'no reply'

For example question 13 - "who took place in the searches". Its as if the police have asked around the hotel and no body helped to look because nobody knew she was missing. If it was my little girl who had gone missing i would have been shouting her name and telling everyone in the hotel 'have you seen her' 'can you help me'.

Yet Kate can not answer 'i told everyone i could' because the police know its a lie. She also cant answer 'i didn't tell anyone' because it would incriminate her. So she has to answer 'no reply'

If you look at each question like this - it does seem very odd as to her replies

 

Drugs go 'missing' in a hospital all the time and of course there will be thousands of people working there.

So is there any evidence at all the kids were sedated?

 

No - but it is evidence of drugs going missing though

 

Lol at you lot about not answering any questions, you've obviously not had any dealings with the police in the uk never mind foreign ones.

You don't answer ANY questions if that's the line your taking, as to answer some and then not others is even more incriminating, TBH they were probably advised by a lawyer not to answer, which is perfectly normal.

I don't trust uk police never mind foreign ones, having been held to ransom on 3 separate occasions in different countries for my passport, as well as being blatantly asked for cash a few other times my levels of trust are in the minuses, although I do actually prefer places where the police are openly corrupt.

 

I feel sorry for their other children.
This entire story stinks of foul play from both of the parents.
I think the theory of them drugging the children to sleep and then finding Maddie dead is a very plausible one.

If they are innocent then I can't imagine how they would feel with strangers like me posting comments such as above.

However, their bahavior, conduct and demeanour since she was reported missing just doesn't add up. They have cashed in big time out of all of this and nobody says anything about it.

If they are ever found guilty, I can see a nationwide uproar happening.

The main thing is that we find Maddie alive but after 6 years, lets be realistic, the chances of this happening are extremely slim.

 

I agree gearhead, i just dont get it. Cant they use a lie detector thing on them, surely a decent copper out of all the countries involved would of put together foul play.

Both parents seem very clever in decepting the police and able to find excuses and avoid the actual question........ They might be telling the truth who knows!

Hopefully they find her safe and well and they are tried in the UK for neglect and profiteering (sp) from it.

I know if someone abducted my child i wouldnt leave until i searched everywhere and wouldnt spend my time writing a book or trying to do financial deals with the media / my own personal PR team!

 

I don't blame them one jot for the way they are answering questions, you have to be VERY careful what you say to the police, even more so if your innocent and are likely to be tried in the press, who would be the jury? everyone and their mother has an opinion on this case, it would be impossible to get a fair trial and anything you say that could possibly be mis-construed and twisted against you by an average lawyer let alone a good one could see you in jail for a very long time, regardless of guilt or innocence.

What they did was wrong and they should be in jail for neglect but I suspect the only reason they are not is the police hope to get them for the big "M" and are watching their every move just waiting for them to slip up, possibly by incriminating themselves with a wrong word.

They are intelligent reasonably well to do people with a good education and can afford to pay for good legal advice, they would be foolish in the extreem not to take it and not to consider all their responses to questions very carefully.

 

But that's the problem. They are worried about covering their areses, not finding their daughter. That's the impression I get.

 

The time line that from when the McCann's left their kids at 20.30 to go to the tapas to the time when she was discovered missing at 22.00. If Maddie had been given an overdose of sedative, how long would it take for it to take effect to the point that it would cause death? Also consider the amount of time that either parent went back to check on their kids before returning back to the tapas. Within that time line the McCanns were only way from the tapas area for short period of time overall. If one of the parents discovered their child non-responsive, being doctors, would they not immediately spend time trying to resuscitate their child? The point is, IMO, they could not possibly have had enough time to plan and then carry out disposing of a body without leaving no trace whatsoever.

 

This whole thread is pathetic, as are some of the "trolls"/posters. Pathetic.

 

What does that mean?

 

What a silly naive little man. This whole case stinks of horse **** – How on earth can you just rubbish that fact that they might have killed her by accident then tried to cover it up? Sorry but too many unanswered questions for me – I think the only reason those 2 ******* were on crime watch the other night was to assess the way they acted/responded in front of camera. I suggest you read the book that Portuguese detective published in 2011 (which Gerry and Kate tried to ban but was over turned) Open your eyes and look both sides of the story.

 

I ALWAYS look at both sides of story.

The reality is that cases like this bring out the gossips, conspiracy theorist, the nut-jobs and the darn right unpleasant. You are displaying signs of all these traits with your bizarre rant.

 

Oh come on ffs anyone with half a ball sack for a brain can tell it's one or both of the parents that has killed her by accident or otherwise and disposed of her body.

They only keep raising money to pay their legal teams to stop anyone questioning their innocence.

The police chief who was in charge is being legally pursued because he said it was the mother.

 

As a parent, I would imagine that when your child gets abducted, you will do anything to help find them. Rational thought, lawyer advice, won't mean a thing.

They may just be genuinely unfeeling barstewards who can handle the loss of their daughter. Or they might have been complicit in her disappearance.

Either way, they are guilty of a crime, or of indifference and negligence. I find their behaviour since very odd.

Whether or not the open letter is real or not, the content is relevant to the discussion surrounding the McCanns.

I think it unlikely they will find her after all this time (dead or alive)

 

Yes, they would have attempted to resuscitate, but what if that failed.

The sniffer dogs also detected the 'scent of a corpse' in the wardrobe, behind the sofa - its feasible that they could have 'hid' her until the initial search was over and they could move her to a more secure place. Hence the evidence from the hire car which they got a few weeks later having blood which matched maddie in the boot and the scent of a corpse.

The medication given might not be the cause - for example if it were a sedative which has been a bit strong (or maddie was a little dehydrated), she may have had a coughing fit through the night which her body could not have naturally resolved itself because she was heavily sedated and she my have ended up choking.

Like i said before - I hope I'm wrong and she is found, but its just my thoughts.....

 

I'm saying that there is medication missing from the hospital, so someone who has access to the stores is taking medication. Now these stores are secured from the public, but nursing staff and doctors will be able to access them. Circumstantial evidence, i know, but if the McCanns worked there, then there is a tenuous link to it. And yes it could also be the other 500 other staff that work there too.

If the stocks at the hospital show that no stock was missing then that rules that line of inquiry out, but as far as i know there were missing items.

It is what it is, like all the other bits of evidence - circumstantial. But if you start to have loads of these bits of evidence gathered together then the weight of them changes.

 

That's also the impression I get.

 

Would they have had time to dispose of the body?

Do you remember Lindy and Michael Chamberlain? Just because the McCann's behaviour may seem odd, it doesn't make them guilty.

 

Agreed mouser, and the dingo baby case is a good analogy

I just see two parents desperately trying to find their child, or closure

And we have seen quite a few case recently where children where found after all hope was lost

Very very sad

And last time I looked being educated and middle class is not a crime

 

I've been in a few hotels where it smells of a corpse in the whole room , never mind behind the sofa. I had a car that smelled like one too :-D

In all seriousness , if they had nothing to hide they are certainly making it sound like they do.
