I think your comment is near the mark – it is just that we can’t prove it one way or the other.

As regards your last paragraph – unfortunately the truth can be silenced and is being silenced. The question is – why. On MCCANN UNRAVELS – THENTHEREWERE4 – the most recent blog is about the silencing of John Redwood. The death of a local MP David Taylor in Rothley is slightly suspicious. Or are we all reading too much into these events to try and cobble together some all encompassing cover-up for what was just the simple disappearance of a child.

Actually – Kate’s is right in that Madeleine would not be able to open the patio door herself because they are so HEAVY- but that’s by the by – an adult could so it was really as you say a false security system!

Yes – the fact that she used the ‘crying episode’ to maybe say someone was doing a trial run is ludicrous – if she thought that then why did she not think the same when Madeleine asked where they were when she was crying. This is just another anomaly in her evidence and why some of the questions she won’t answer were asked of her.

I was, at the time that this ‘abduction’ took place, fully convinced that the McCanns were the innocent parents of an awful crime – it has taken this long for me to have my doubts. It is because of too many inconsistencies in the events surrounding this ‘abduction’ that I am now inclined to think something is not right – I don’t know what it is that’s not right but I am reserving my judgement – because who can say who is guilty or innocent until we have the truth.

it’s s sad state of affairs when practising DOCTORS can’t even get their lies straight.

And I agree with Brenda, while Kate may have been in shock over finding Maddie gone, was it really such severe shock that she willfully left her even younger and more vulnerable babies alone?

I dont know if the kids where drugged because two of my brothers, on separate occasions, slept through loud armed robberies in our house, during which people were screaming, shouting, and quite roughly moving them around.
One was asleep in a bassinet which invaders moved to block the bedroom door with while they went through the bedroom for jewellery and cash.
Another slept through us being held hostage in our house for two hours, then being carried next door, then the police turning up, all of it. When he woke up, it was for his night time feed.
Babies really can sleep through the end of the world so the other two not waking isn’t THAT suspicious.

What’s odd is that they think an abductor may have been in the room with Maddie the night she was crying, before she was taken.
Why the fuck, if the kid cried for near enough 90 MINUTES without response, wouldn’t he have taken her then?!
Just admit you made a mistake and left vulnerable children alone. If nothing else, you’re selfish, irresponsible parents who made fatal errors on that holiday.
If it’s the ONLY thing you admit to, stand up and do that.

I might not even suspect the McCann’s if not for their refusal to shoulder ANY of the blame for their actions.
Let’s just assume Maddie was nabbed by some random predator who had been following the family and figured out their habits of leaving the kids alone- Ever since, the McCann’s have blamed the Portugese police, the media, the public, leprechauns, bigfoot, spiderman and my aunt fucking sally for Maddie vanishing.
Not ONCE have they said ‘we made a horrible, horrible mistake, we allowed our daughter to be left alone and taken, we are in that sense, entirely to blame’
They’ve blamed everyone but themselves.
That, to me, is odd, and why I began to suspect them in the first place.

That and they totally did it.
