Madeleine McCann: Watching The Parents
MORE no news on the Madeleine McCann case.
It is now a week since the three-year-old girl was snatched from a Portugal holiday resort.
The story has been distressing to watch on our TV screens. What it must like for the parents of Madeleine only a few can know.
BLAME
But their misery is far from complete. With no news of Madeleine, and the Portuguese police having no need to indulge the British tabloids with speculation and theory, Madeleine’s parents are the central characters.
And today’s front-page news, as reported by the caring Mirror, is: “THEY KNOW LEAVING KIDS WAS WRONG.”
Does the Mirror mean to say that Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry, now think they did the wrong thing in nipping out for a bite to eat and leaving the children in the apartment on what they thought was a secure resort?
Does the Mirror mean that the McCanns know that popping back regularly to look at their children and checking on their well being was less than perfect?
Does the Mirror mean that the McCanns realise they should not have left their children alone, just like it is wrong to leave a child in a hotel under the auspices of a baby monitoring service, to leave a child in the car while mum goes to pay for petrol, to talk to a neighbour over a garden fence while the children are indoors?
Of course this is not the Mirror’s view. Oh, no. This is Madeleine’s grandmother, Susan Healy, saying: “They know this was a mistake. But it wasn’t child neglect, it wasn’t not caring for your children.”
That she feels the need to say this is wrong. That the Mirror can lead with Madeleine’s grief-worn parents is pathetic and misguided. That the paper can talk of “people are asking why they didn’t make use of the crèche” at the resort or take the children out to dinner with them is wrong.
But the Mirror has news to write. And the police aren’t playing the game.
THEORIES
So the Mirror produces: “THE 6 THEORIES.”
Only six! Why this cautious approach? But it is all the Mirror has. And readers hear of the “PAEDOPHILE GANG”, the “LONE PAEDOPHILE”, the “JEALOUS MOTHER”, Madeleine wandering off and “DROWNED”, the “OPPORTUNIST PAEDOPHILE”, the “CHILDLESS COUPLE”.
But the Sun has more. It has 130 more. As the front-page headline screams: “MADDIE COPS HUNT 130 BRIT PAEDOS.”
The paper says “at least” 130 British paedophiles “might” have taken Madeleine McCann.
In “ALGARVE IS ‘HAVEN’ FOR PERVS”, readers learn that Portugal is a “magnet for sun-seeking perverts from Britain and the rest of Europe”.
Who knew that perverts get off on watching children at the beach?
Us And Them
But help is on its way. The Sun lists the British coppers who will go out there and see to it that justice is done. We, says the paper, are the only country with a sex offenders’ register.
All convicted perverts must inform the police of their desire to go abroad. At least 130 have. And the police are looking for them.
But – and whisper this – might it be that convicted sexual deviants don’t all tell the police what they plan to do? They are not monitored while overseas. And might it be that not all sexual predators are caught and make it to the list?
Among the policemans’ names is Detective Superintendent Graham Hill, attached to theChild Exploitation and Protection Centre. Hill is on the case. He has flown to Portugal.
Hill worked on the case of Milly Dowler. She was snatched from near Walton railway station, Surrey, in 2002. Her body was found six months later. Her killer or killers have never been caught.
Perhaps Hill’s experiences can help. Perhaps he’ll have more luck. Perhaps not.
Meanwhile, a family is distraught, and bearing up incredibly well under the strain and the merciless gaze of the newspapers…

Portuguese police are preparing to launch new searches to try and locate Madeleine’s body, according to Portuguese press. Another report suggests that the Policia Judiciaria are investigating the possibility that Robert Murat, the only other official suspect in the case, helped the McCanns hide Madeleine’s body.
wow this case is all over the place.
September 11th, 2007 at 6:04 pm
Yawn…….. Emmy you and afew others would make a pretty cheap and nasty soap together maybe you should write to the aussie tv they may be interested i mean they made nieghbours and home and away. I must admit though you 2 have come up with some pretty far out versions the soaps may be interested.
September 11th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Just waiting for the truth to come out what ever way it falls all i am interested in is the truth, things seem to be getting more and more confussed with this case.
It wasnt blood fund in the car now it was other bodily fluids and its now only 88% match this means it could have been transfered from the move from the holiday apartment.
There was also hair they say more than what would be expected from blankets ect, i have 2 daughters with long hair when you move thier stuff it is almost as if you have pulled the hair out and left them bald the amount of hair that i find lying around.
The hair brush is the worst so this also isnt enough to convict them on.
I just wish that this was over so that child could be found. I am sure that the whole of the McCann family wouldnt cover up a murder and why would friends? they wouldnt risk it. Maybe i am nieve but i just dont believe they are guilty.
September 11th, 2007 at 5:45 pm
The Church, eh? Well, if that theory AND the Renault Scenic evidence are both true, then the priest must be in on in too - you can hardly expect him not to have noticed a decomposing body for over 25 days, even if it was in the crypt. Not to mention the congregation. I know when the cat has killed and hidden a mouse after just one day - I can smell it from two floors up. This is getting like Murder on the Orient Express. And if she’s been buried in the roadworks all along, then the Renault evidence can’t be correct either, can it? You can’t have it both ways.
I think the McCanns were negligent, and they also present as rather strange. But less strange perhaps if you consider the possibility that they didn’t kill her, are riven with guilt which they don’t admit in an attempt to protect their professional lives and the twins, and are clinging to the forlorn hope that she is still alive somewhere.
The ‘evidence’ in the public domain so far is fairly forlorn too - even a mediocre defence team could cheerfully drive a coach and horses through it. Never mind a lawyer who managed to get General Pinochet off the rap. And hiring him seems a bit daft. Portugal is not Chile, and we have extradition treaties with all EU countries anyway, so if they refused to go back, we’d simply arrest them and hand them over surely? We’d have no choice.

So, they say maddie needed to be dead 2 hours for the corpse to be traced!!
The facts…
1. They left for the food at 7.30pm, maybe sedated the kids because someone complained of screaming the night before?
2. So they would HAVE to have left her til 9.30, depending if she wasnt already dead before they went for food
So, theres a few ways they could have done this…
1. Found she was dead at 9.05pm..When Gerry checked up on the kids, Panicked and tried to revive her, put the cuddle cat on the window blood could have been all over his hands, would explain traces? Maybe Maddie had a fit and bit her tongue, unable to revive her, he wraps her up, takes her out to the car, Maybe the friends? Leaves her there, gone back to food, the ’sighting’ made at 9:45pm was obviously fake (it was a friend who claimed seeing someone) so that Gerry would have had an aliby. His friend goes off to see his ‘’sick” child and drives off with maddie in the back to dump her somewhere, So he comes back for food, then, 10pm comes along and Kate screaming + running out saying ”They’ve taken her” who?!? anyway…. 40mins after she found Maddie gone she calls police… why wait 40mins?! Maybe Gerry had time to take her to the sea to dump her?!
2. 9:05pm comes along, Gerry finds maddie, takes her to a friends apartment or sticks her in a bush, he spent 10mins in that room, he claims he didnt see maddie n thought she had wandered off into the parents bedroom but didnt check…. so anyway.. throws her in a car, goes and tells kate… hell they’ve all been drinking… 14 bottles of wine … so .. 10pm hes taking her to the church… dumps her body!! Goes back 3weeks later just before they go to fly out and dump her body in the sea…
3. Abduction, Obviously not true but lets play this theory!! so, 9:05pm Gerry checks on kids, doesnt know where maddie is… but what the hell hes going to not check, someone breaks in through the window, dunno y cus the back door open, steals maddie…. it wouldnt explaine why they havent found traces of an intruder in the apartment…
4.Giving maddie away…. 9:05pm… takes maddie out of her bed.. passes her to a man/women maybe a close realitive to look after maddie, would explain sightings everywhere. + no trace of a ‘kidnapper” wait a few months n voila they are rich… and boy they’ve got 2 million from it
September 11th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
They prob dumped her sumwhere and put her in the car, i still think maddie is in the sea… always have done…
The mother is a psyco… that night at 10pm… a women said she would go and call police, but… Kate said she had already done it… waited 40mins after to call the police!! She said before.. she knew instantly Maddie was taken, so why not call earlier?
You dump her in the church, then got back pick her up in the rental car and take her to the sea, all because they accidently killed her? Why? They should just stop now, they are both afraid of prosecution and losing the twins!!
They rented a car the day they were flying out to see the pope!! Why?
I’ve noticed that Kate hasnt bonded with her son, shes never holding him, never playing with him in any of the pictures, shes always holding her daughter!! Even the pic of her on the plane with them her daughter closest!!
I think they did it, did a good job at covering up, it didnt take 40mins to make up a good plan? maybe premeditated?? I’ve alway thought it was gerry who did it, always thought he was the strong one to take charge… we know damn sure he has a temper on him,
Took him 20mins to dump her body! then come back and clean up b4 they called police.. he would have got her in the back of a car and gone back to food… so that it looked like nothing was wrong, so the ‘’sighting” was at 9:45pm by a friend… so hes got the aliby…. why is that not surprising

Hi A Person, sorry… but if I have to take care of 5 yo child I don’t go drinking 2 bottles of wine and smoke 10 joints, because for me that is to Neglect a child. And I don’t smoke or drink anyway, oh, yes I did, in my birthday, but that was last March, so it can take a whole year for me to consume a drop of alchool. It looks like the woman kind of “forgot” she had a child to take care, she ignored the child and for me that is negligence and as for the dog, no blame, the adult should be in charge and was not.
Different point of view, but then I don’t know the rest of the facts. It was only to point out that another child was lost while an adult should have protected her. The grandmother now only has to live with that fact for the rest of her days, and that is quite an ordeal. But then she can always drink wine and smoke joints… only this time it will be to forget that she forgot to take care of her grandaughter.
Star: you are quite right, and another thing one can find weird is, when Kate was asked by the polcie how she could explain how there could be DNA from Maddie in the hire car trunk (from blood or body fluids) , she aswered “No way! The car was only hired 25 days after the disappearance”! It sounds like a very prepared answer, the natural for an innocent to answer would be either “I don’t really know” or “No way because we never did her any harm, etc, etc, and she must be alive!”
As for the DNA test being relevant I’ve always heard that the police do not need or base their investigations in this evidence alone. There are many many more evidences pointing the same way, DNA results only come as a confirmation as the police is in the right way. This has been said all the way by the police since early August. The DNA tests ARE NOT the main evidence. But it is not possible to reveal the others, it takes time and they will only be revealed when all the scenario is reconstructed to the most tiny detail. These evidences are the so called “aces” the police have in their sleeves. At this point everybody here is starting (finally) to understant that this issue is not only criminal. It is far more than that, it is growing to be political and diplomatic, and the police is furious because higher “forces” are putting pressure on them not allowing them to do their work. I wonder where those pressures come from ? Some 2 hours ago there was report on one of our 8 TV channels, and there were comments by important people that….PJ is an independent but… reports to the Public Ministery…Public Ministery reports to…Internal Affairs…Internall Affairs report to …The Portuguese Government…which has been silent all the way. I wonder….The Portuguese Government reports to….? Any ideas ?

Well John O i have said that the only way i would believe it was if they confessed or the body was found through the evidence, i have to say things are not looking good for the McCanns but i still dont believe that they murdered or accidentally killed Madeliene. Blood would not have just been on a wall if she was hit in an emotional attack by Kate it would be over everything.
But i am not going to go over what i have typed so many times before its just not worth it, all i am saying is the case was not run right from day 1 and any evidence that has been found was damaged if they killed her then even if guilty they may get away with it because of the mess up from the start.
The case that me is on about with the Dog was awful but the Grandmother did plead Guilty. She was cleared because she wasnt to know that the dog was going to kill or hurt the child as she had grown up around it, but the dog was known to be nasty but i think as the judge did too she has been punished enough its not like she set the dog on the child and that really has nothing in common with the Madeleine case so what was your point other than showing that you can cut and paste extreamly well. That wasnt really neglect it was more like stupidity.
Neglect is when a child is taken from a caring adoptive family and given to her natural parent who then beat and burn and lock her up hang her on a washing line for fun and then just for abit more fun put her in a tumble dryer all this before 3 yrs old thats neglect and abuse and down right sick.
I would just like to point out John O i would love to be wrong and That The McCanns are Guilty so that Maddie can be found and Burried and then the child and the world can rest in peace that she is no longer being harmed.

Social workers and police met to discuss the welfare of the McCanns’ two-year-old twins, who could be placed on an “at-risk” register.
**The is in the UK….do they also have a smear campaign against the Mccanns?
Police in Praia da Luz were preparing to search the villa where the McCanns had been staying until Sunday.
**Good to see they are in there right away, so any evidence can be collected.
Kate McCann faced fresh slurs in the Portuguese media, with claims that she was aggressive towards her children and sometimes “out of control”.
**Wonder who say Kate being aggressive with her children and or out of control.
The McCanns have vowed to fight to clear their names, and hired two of the country’s leading solicitors, Michael Caplan QC and Angus McBride, to advise them.
**I thought they were broke, paying for the extented Holiday? How can they afford 2 leading solicitors?
A family friend said the couple was “glad” to hear Portuguese police’s denial of the reports that a full match of Madeleine’s DNA had been found in their hire car. “That’s about the most encouraging thing we’ve heard from the Portuguese
police for some time,” the friend said
**They were GLAD to hear? They would know if they put Madeleine in the trunk, what are they glad the match was not 100% because they rented the car 25 days after Maddie died?
I still wonder what happen to the search and arrests in the UK? Did anything come of that? Also the main piece of evidence they had, was that the blood in the trunk? What about the emails and texts and calls the police bugged? What was said there?
I hope and pray that Maddie is still alive!! If not, then she needs to be found!!
September 11th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
I know this has nothing to do with the case of Madeleine but it is just another example how neglecting a child can be “OK”….
GrandMother Cleared…
Mrs Simpson, 45, who had been looking after the girl at the time, had admitted responsibility for her death.
But the jury of seven men and five women at Liverpool Crown Court found her innocent after a six-day trial.
The dog, which belonged to Ellie’s uncle Kiel Simpson, had been let into the house by Mrs Simpson.
She had smoked 10 cannabis joints and drunk two bottles of wine.
Ellie had 72 injuries.
The maximum sentence for manslaughter is life imprisonment”
Notice the detail of the “10 cannabis joints and drunk two bottles of Wine”. Is that normal ? It was the same as she went out and left the child alone !!Or even worse, because in that state who knows what human brain can do.

This event grabbed the public attention because of the media campaign and the oportunity that British people have now to show the world how good they are. The rest of the world is all wrong, they know everything.
The Mccanns have lots of friends in HIGH places.
If it all ends with the Mccanns being guilty then we have probably been (all of us) victims of the most sordid, abnoxious and dark side of mankind. When it comes to evil, some persons seem to have no limits, and that starts with one person, one group…then one town…it spreads and spreads, till it can be a whole nation. Although…you can look at those persons and they are so “lovely”, so “perfect” such angels. NOT EVERYTHING THAT SHINES IS GOLD!
So what you see is not what you get! In our days, images, fame, reputation, it is all fabricated, it is very hard to tell when someone ir really genuine. It all resumes to money, money makes the world go around, and they are (sure) loaded now with all the donations to the fund. Since day one of the fund, which was 16th May, when I read the “purpose” of the fund I could not believe my eyes but it is there….between other crap mentioning Madeleine and the “abduction” and “abductors” in the plural…God, how can someone be so stupid ? Everyone can read…” 3.1.3 To provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine’s family.” You can now see how millions of ducks fell into this and now there are a bunch of fellows living on the expenses of the little girl disappearance, including uncles, sisters, the all clan. Nice catholics hum ? Or maybe doctors are not well paid in England which I don’t think is true. Not to mention that all their return on EasyJet was paid by the British government, and they did not pass at customs…went directly to the plane…VIP section. Curiously, the same happened when Gerry made is 1st trip home on the 20th May….EasyJEt…VIP….no customs, interesting…
Another interesting thing… is there someone who can make a “WHOIS” on their site. I did last month and I found the domain was registered 10th May, quite quickly really, it impresses me how such a awful moment in a familly, for the whole family - a 3 yo child allegedly abducted - can have so much power that in 8-13 days, and being in a foreign country, (perhaps that was the secret…)they can set up such a large scam. By the way, there is another missing girl (15) there, it would be interesting to compare everything…the parents pain, media attention…investigations, etc, etc.
September 11th, 2007 at 9:21 am
Oh dear. The boot’s being put into just about everyone concerned, isn’t it? The McCanns, the PJ, the British media, the Portuguese media. Just depends upon your ‘gut’ feeling and prejudices, doesn’t it? Not on any real evidence - because we don’t have any.
IF the McCanns are guilty - and they might be, as parents are the most common source of child death - then they can only be convicted (anywhere in Europe) on compelling circumstantial evidence backed by some reliable forensics, in the absence of a body. Or confessions, which must be similarly endorsed. If they ARE guilty, though, then they have stage-managed probably the most fantastic and extraordinary crime in history. The child dies; they rapidly concoct an abduction scenario (with help from somewhere - friend(s) or strangers who are oddly willing to jeopardise their own lives, jobs, and children to assist). It involves staging a happy dinner (never mind the bottles of booze, they are the least of anyone’s worries); nipping back and forth to clean up evidence, dispose of the body etc.; ultimately screaming “Abduction!”; then masterminding a huge media campaign to boost the abduction theory including fund-raising and a website. I don’t think this would occur to many murderers, or even manslaughterers. However, I suppose all things are possible. Some are less possible than others, though.
The poor old PJ, who are being vilified for leaping in now with ’shoddy evidence’ or ‘vital evidence’ (so some of the media say - we don’t know). What are they supposed to do with the forensics - ignore them?
They might have taken a punt on trying to get the McCanns to confess, and it might have been worth a try, although I think it was probably ill-advised given (a) their uninvolvement, or (b) their professional knowledge , depending on whether they are innocent or guilty. What I think we can say in fairness is that the investigation was bungled in the first 48 hours, without the scene being secured, proper investigative procedures followed, evidence being lost etc. Parents are always the first suspects, and you have to follow that through if only to exonerate them and then be able to concentrate on other lines of inquiry. That didn’t happen, it seems. And that threatens to jeopardise the whole inquiry now. So we can blame the PJ; not for what they are doing now, but for what they did NOT do four months ago. I wonder if they get Forensic Detectives or CSI in Portugal? Because anyone who has watched these would know how vital it is to get the crime scene secured, the clothes off of the parents, the swabs taken, Cuddle Cat taken, the DNA from anyone who had been in the apartment etc. etc. However, on balance, one has to take account of the fact that the PJ may be less well experienced in these cases because they don’t have many of them - unlike the UK or USA. And that tells you something too.
Finally, I don’t think it very odd that someone who (perhaps ill-advisedly) agreed to putting up a website devoted to finding his daughter, and who didn’t anticipate this would mean a daily blog for 4 months, would find it difficult to say something trenchant every day. What do you expect? Every day an anguished account of how he is missing Madeleine? Or some details of what they have been doing - whether you think this is ‘evidence’ of guilt - or what?
I’ve no idea if they are guilty, but equally, I find the posts here fairly fantastic. Most people uncritically consume stuff we simply don’t know is true - via the media? Hah!
Many posts are predicated on class resentment - that the McCanns can get away with murder because they are attractive (are they? Many of you think they are horrible), middle-class professionals, and that a single mother on an estate would be in jail by now. Really? And then we have those who think that they hid the decomposing body for a month in a church - not totally impossible I suppose but highly unlikely - or, even more fantastically, that they fed her to animals in a Zoo??
I give up. If they did do it - which they might have, I suppose - then they have perpetrated the most extraordinary crime in history. If they didn’t, which is even more likely given precedent, then you are all idiots. Unlike many of you, I am content to await the outcome and admit my own deficiencies ultimately AND moreover, to wonder exactly why this event so grabbed the public attention - which is an interesting question in itself.
September 11th, 2007 at 3:06 am
I’m not.
There will be no signed confessions because imo they didn’t do it.
Some unsavoury characters were watching the OC. The had opportunity with the McCann’s. The McCann’s are guilty of leaving their kids. imo nothing else.
Who is the big swarthy guy who was photographed watching the McCann’s?
Have the circle of ‘friends’ of Murat’s been well checked out?
It all comes down to Motive. Opportunity. And tight lips.
I hope the real ‘truth’ comes out. That innocent child deserves for no stone to be left unturned.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:58 am
Well, I’m not.
There will be no signed confession because imo they did not do it.
If they are guilty of anything - it is leaving them in the first place.
Undesirables around the OC have been watching the McCann’s and used the opportunity to abduct her.
Who is the big swarthy guy seen taking an interest in the McCann’s?
The ‘friends’ of Murat - what detailed investigations have been done on them.
The ‘leaks’ when it suits them - from the ever secretive Portuguese Police?
You posted earlier that ‘this message board was now closed…’
Now you are back - with your usual ‘I told you so’ - and what do you infer when you say “My concern is the possibility of what the McCann’s are capable of next?”
You expecting them to come a knocking at your door? puleeeeeeeeeez!
September 11th, 2007 at 2:44 am
Even the most optimistic McCann supporters are now filled with doubt which would explain their lack of posts recently. Nice to see ‘a person’ is still hanging on in there. I fear even a signed confession would not convince her of guilt.
Please try to avoid the graphic and obscene ‘how the McCanns did away with the child’ dialogue. It is warped and unnecessary. Yes, I agree that she is long dead. Yes, I agree the parents were to blame. Letting your imagination run to burial at sea, chopping up in to pieces etc etc is in the worst possible taste.
All will be revealed within the next week to ten. My concern is the possibility of what the McCanns are capable of next. They are being backed into a corner from which they have only one means of escape!!!

alice:
Why the zoo?
I wonder if they will re-search the area that was searched in reference to the letter that was received?
Also…someone had posted before that they were doing sewer or road work near the apartment? I wonder if that is to be searched.
they never say if the dna came from blood or body fluids…..like the article says if it did, the Mccanns will have to come up with a good reason for Maddie being in the trunk

Every News that i have read or seen have said that they were good caring parents and the flight home they were normal caring parents were did you see that they were any diffrent.
Reason they moved from Amsterdam was work i believe.
September 10th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
I think they live in Rothley for about a year, not much time knowing the neigbours, they came from Amsterdam, wonder why
September 10th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Star: Yes, it can happen, sometimes one can loose temper and scream or even slap a child, but in a very mild way. (and older ones fo course) I don’t believe why at the age of 3 or under there is need to slap, but anyway that depends how each parent is. And Kate is in fact seen as being very cold and calculated, not bonding with her children, seems more like they saw them as possessions like a car or a house, maybe because she had to suffer somehow to have them with too much “fancy” expectations, when in fact a child really changes our lifes in the first years. And one thing is what we see in the pictures and another is real life in a daily basis.Tourists (british) have mentioned she was agressive with them, not very attached, maybe they really needed a rest in this holiday time but with the kids and not much help from Gerry, she might have lost herself. About the 14 it is confirmed in the restaurant bill.
September 10th, 2007 at 11:07 pm
Lots we don’t know really, when I write here I only put facts I’ve read and that are confirmed by sources from the PJ, not much they can say, only a bit here and a bit there, but now I don’t know anymore, because I really believe that the British press, especially Skynews is trying everything they can to discredit the police. That station is where the Mccanns have connections. The DNA match of 99% that they referred was NOT confirmed by PJ and NOBODY knows from where Skynews got or invented that information. Ohhh, yes I know ! Because tomorrow they will come and say it was wrong, that the PJ doesn’t know anymore what to do and say, etc, etc. Yet they refer that they know it from the PJ and that is FALSE. Let’s wait for the next news, I guess Skynews will have to come up with something to keep the flow of the readers. The next news will be to discredit PJ…
September 10th, 2007 at 10:58 pm
Why would they need a key to the church? Im not sure how they do things in Portugal…but here where i live, churches are unlocked so people can go in and pray at any time. Why could the Mccanns not go during day hours, why did Kate go alone? Or why did they run in for a quick 10 minutes between jogging and dinner with friends?
If you watched them after Maddie went missing, they sure looked like a family out having fun when they were with the twins
September 10th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
There have been cases of mothers freaking out and supposedly having a moment of mental illness and harming or killing children. Kate looks like a weak woman(if i am wrong, i am sorry) I still dont know WHY they would question them like they did, make them suspects if they dont have some type of evidence to back up their claims. Why would they pick on a couple on Holiday? A couple that puts their good time ahead of their children. (proved by leaving the kids for someone to watch all day, feeding them a quick dinner, tossing them into bed and then going out for a good time. Did they really drink over 10 bottles of wine that nite? We dont know half of the story.
I have paid close attention to pics of the Mccanns and the twins, they look like loving, caring parents. Was there a problem with Madeleine? Something we dont know? Maybe they need to talk to neighbors and OTHER friends to see how they were as parents.

Well, I guess you all read in Skynews that DNA from the car matches 99% Madeleine. No need for more speculation,
Rest in peace Maddie, :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:
Now we can only wait to see if justice exists or if the world belongs to monsters.
And for those who ask… the church could be an excuse for them to go out at night…ti pray, enter by central door, go out by the side door or backdoor…by the way that church has an imense basement and it is near the sea.
As for the motifs, you all heard before…accident, Kate being alone all the time, exausted by not having any help from Gerry who preferred to go and play tennis…which I also don’t understand because they used to leave the children all day in the creche.
