My QUESTION for this week.........did any of the McCann/Healy 'families' ACTUALLY 'search'?

jeanmonroe wrote:Apart from the parents 'faux' 1 hour, next morning, search. i say 'faux' because, imo, NOBODY actually 'witnessed' them doing so, although the fragrant Fiona 'mentions' it once, which she would of course, wouldn't she?

Is there ANY 'evidence' that the rapid ensemble, of family 'members' gathered in PDL, in the days after the 'event' that ANY of them ACTUALLY 'searched' for their missing family member?

I know Ma Healy and Ma McCann did NOT 'search' anywhere before they were BOTH put on the Granny express, back to the UK, within hours, for saying, asking about(?) er, 'something' GM didn't like.

I can't seem to 'find' the accounts where Trish and Sandy Cameron, Philomena and John McCann, et al, had their arms 'scratched' to pieces by the wild undergrowth, or their feet were blistered, after traipsing for hours over the sun baked, rock hard ground, during THEIR desperate 'searches' for Madeleine.

I do remember that local people and police did give their time and ACTUALLY searched, physically, for a child they didn't know.

The T9 ' rushing around' pretendy searches, on the night, are also, imo, totally 'faux'.

I cannot find any evidence that ANY of the T9 did any ACTUAL 'searching' after their initial, er, um, 'efforts'.

My question is, 'is there ANY 'evidence' that the McCann/Healy families and the McCanns 'friends' advisors, UK police, liason officers, CEOP officers(?) etc, ACTUALLY 'searched' (for Madeleine) like the hundreds of local people DID?

If not WHY not?

a) They, the nearest and dearest, 'knew' (accidental death and hidden) there was no point ACTUALLY 'searching'.

b) They, 'suspected' there was 'something' not quite right, given that the 'smashed, jemmied, broken, shutter story' they'd 'peddled' remorselessly to the UK Madia in the hours BEFORE, was er, um 'wrong' when they actually got to 'see for themselves' after arriving in PDL.

c) They know it is/was all pre-meditated, a hoax, and they all 'know/knew' EXACTLY the fate, whereabouts, of Madeleine, and far from being 'harmed' she is 'waiting' to triumphantly 'found/returned' years later, as the McCanns, including Aunty Phil, constant references to their, self admitted fraudulent claims for 'missing' children mate's, NCMEC 'suppose'.

d) They couldn't be 'bothered'.

What did the McCann/Healy families ACTUALLY 'DO' yesterday, or what will they ACTUALLY be 'DOING', today, to 'find' their darling wee, always 'missed' familiy member, Madeleine?

WHAT ACTUAL 'SEARCHING' WILL ANY OF THEM DO TODAY?

OR WILL THEY NOT BOTHER, BECAUSE IT'S 'SOMEBODY ELSE'S JOB'?

ANY 'specific' evidence of 'searches' in PDL by McCann/Healy relatives will be greatly appreciated.

IMO

It is very difficult to choose a,b,c or d. It could be any or a mixture.

It seems that while they may have planned meticulously and compartmentalized various scheduled arrivals by giving them names, to slip up and write this down in a Diary is "staring into a black hole" time. 

Is this the authorized published one? 

I seem to remember the PJ found notes and/or a Diary at the Villa but they were not allowed to use it as evidence and had to destroy the copy and return it to Kate.

Dianne and I sat there just staring at each other, still as statues. ‘It’s so dark,’ she said again and again. ‘I want the light to come.’ I felt exactly the same way. Gerry was stretched out on a camp bed with Amelie asleep on his chest. He kept saying, ‘Kate, we need to rest.’ He managed to drift off but only briefly, certainly for less than an hour. I didn’t even try. I couldn’t have allowed myself to entertain sleep. I felt Madeleine’s terror, and I had to keep vigil with her. I needed to be doing something, but I didn’t know where to put myself. I wandered restlessly in and out of the room and on to the balcony.
At long last, dawn broke."

It was night time.
So it was dark.

As someone pointed out, it was not too dark to go out for dinner
not too dark to go home again
not too dark to go back - the women on their own - Tanner and Kate - to the apartment to check
BUT too dark then to go out with others to look for a missing child.

Note to the McCanns - PdL has streetlights !  Which were lit.

I have stayed awake longer than that waiting for disrupted transatlantic flights, for goodness' sake.  I have stayed up all night with sick children. I just don't understand how anyone could insist on sleep when it was dark and cold and your three year old was missing. Kate 'needed to do something'--why didn't that include searching?

Because love, if you can't be arsed to search, why should anyone else?

No because they were knuckled from the search and had gone home for some deserved rest.
Unlike you Kate and Gerry who slept when half the village was out searching in the dark for your missing daughter.  You waited till dawn when no one was around so that there was no witness to dispute your claim.

I doubt they did any real searching that morning.  It was an opportunity for them to talk without anyone else around and get their versions of events co-ordinated.
