I have kids and grandchildren and, when they were small, I can picture them standing on the the balcony, assuming they could open the patio doors in the first place and screaming the place down but NOT venturing out into the dark.
Little kids are scared of the dark as was Rachel Oldfield by all accounts.
In fact most little kids would just stay in the apartment and scream which would then have meant 3 children screaming because she would have woken the twins up.
How could Kate dream that one up I wonder?


I don't agree. Madeleine (allegedly) went to the kids' club every day. She was very nearly four years old. If one of the twins had woken up and been distressed it would be perfectly natural for a child of this age to try to find her parents or even seek another adult. 

The children knew the resort and, if they had any idea of where their parents were dining (which they would have done if their parents had been even remotely responsible, which of course we know they were not) it is entirely plausible for a nearly four year old to try to find her parents.

What one? You are not making sense. Kate suggested that there is no way that Madeleine could possibly have left the apartment of her own volition. I find that implausible - a nearly four year old can be incredibly perceptive. IF the parents had been dining as close to the apartment as they claimed then - assuming they were even vaguely responsible - they would have been very clear indeed to explain to Madeleine how close they were (almost in the back garden..so they said....) and that if anything at all happened, or if any of the children were distressed, she would know exactly where to find them.

Well, yes. They do represent the general public, which is why the show is on about 10 times a day, if you count the new shows and the +1 channels, the repeats on the secondary channels (3 in a row!) plus the repeats on their +1 channels and the late night JK USA shows... Yes, I think they are the people you need to convince because they are the same people who read the trashy newspapers. I'll bet a few of us watch it on here. I've watched a fair few episodes. You could play Bullshit Bingo with the overused phrases contained in every single program...
'It's called the Jeremy Kyle show'
'At the end of the day'
'Put something on the end of it'
Etc.

Yep. I would love to see Gezza and Kate on there, but then again, I doubt even Jeremy Kyle would risk everything just to ask the awkward questions to which we all want the answers so...

In my opinion.

I doubt very much that you would have wanted to participate in a televised lie detector test, you would have been so indignant that anyone should even think you would harm your child, that it was totally unnecessary and beneath contempt for you to prove your innocence to the media and their intellectually challenged entourage.

In other words, you wouldn't be attempting to cash in or make a media spectacle out of your grief.
I would rather do that to shut people up than keep turning to the courts to do it.
Yes, but every time they sue a newspaper, for example, and win it enhances their image as downtrodden victims and it also gags that particular outlet for information and makes it look as though any further attempt to attack the McCanns in the future as revenge, making them look even more like the victims. And last but not least, every time they sue and win they get a wad load of wonga to play with. So there are definite benefits to being in the public eye if you keep winning, and the cards are stacked in their favour as we know. Kerching!

In my opinion.

I'm not actually making an assumption, Joss,  by stating that the McCann's daughter disappeared because of their leaving her alone to go on the piss, by default you are stating that had they not left her alone, her disappearance would not have occurred.

This can only mean that someone other than the McCanns took her in their absence.
Not necessarily. I am saying that in their absence Madeleine possibly had a fatal accident, and had they been there that would not have happened if there was adult supervision at all times. And if they were responsible parents and a horrible accident happened in their presence they would of called in a medical emergency straightaway. But because they were absent and due to their negligence they knew if Madeleine had died because of it they would more than likely be in prison and probably have lost their remaining children too.
This makes sense to me too, if we theorise that Madeleine was not abducted. If Madeleine had died as a result of something the parents did or did not do, I think they would have been charged with negligence, or worse; lost their two remaining children to social services or other family members; been struck off as doctors for the rest of their lives - and we're talking two big salaries here and all those years of studying and training down the swanee; been subjected to a virtual crucifixion in the media and hounded and threatened online by haters, and yes there really are some nasty netizens out there. I was shocked to hear that Sara Payne (mother of Sarah Payne) has had to quit social media due to the nastiness, and she was innocent! Imagine what they would do to this pair of middle class doctors! Their life would not have been worth living.

This must have gone through their minds, and from a purely pragmatic point of view, there was no bringing her back, but so much to lose by coming clean. Hence everything that happened next. Only they weren't as clever with their plans as they thought because what they want us all to believe is full of holes.

In my opinion.

Nobody, independent, 'saw' Madeleine AFTER FP's 19h00 'visit' to the McCanns apartment or DP's 'visit' at 18h30 with KM wrapped in a towel.

Although DP has also stated that the 'LAST time HE saw Madeleine' was at 17h00.

He must have 20/20 vision because he was

AT THE 'BEACH', 500 hundred metres away, for that's WHERE he was from 16h00 til leaving the beach cafe at about 1810/15.

Precisely, which makes it highly likely that the McCann's daughter was already dead and buried before they left for the Tapas bar. This of course means that either one or both of the McCanns were present when she died. It is a ridiculous assertion to state that their daughter accidentally died when they weren't present, thereby necessitating the need to hide her body. Who in their right mind would feel the need to make a murder/kidnapping incident out of an accident.

The only logical reason for disposing of a body in those circumstances is to avoid an autopsy.
Well Casey Anthony made the supposed accidental drowning in the backyard swimming pool look like a murder. Not unheard of actually when someone is trying to cover up a crime.

That is exactly what my thoughts were about their covering up what happened. They knew they stood to lose a lot more than their daughter IMO.

Covering up a crime, yes, but your theory appears to be that Madelaine McCann's death/disappearance was probably an accident. If it was in fact an accident, why would they feel the need to dispose of her body and concoct a phoney kidnapping story. If it happened in their presence, they could have quite morally adopted the stance that they were looking the other way at the time and if it happened in their absence, they could have equally claimed that it occurred in their presence, much less of a risk than the course they decided to adopt. After all, they couldn't possibly at the time have conceived how much symathy they would get from govs. and the media. The odds against that happening would have been longer than winning the lottery.

Even Kate McCann admits that covering up an accident would have been a nonsensical stance to adopt and she appears to have an air of confidence when expressing this opinion. In much the same way as she does when she rubbishes the theory that they buried their daughter's body so well that they felt the need to dig it up and reinter it.

No, if indeed the McCanns were in fact complicit in the death/disappearance of their daughter, it certainly wasn't an accident and as previously stated, the only logical reason for dispensing with a body in those circumstances was to avoid an autopsy. Forget the negligence aspect, that is what the McCanns and their entourage want the proletariat to believe, because without the aforementioned, there couldn't possibly have been a kidnapping, think about it.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this cataclysmic tragedy. One really does have to congratulate previous successive govs. since the early 1970's  on doing a thoroughly good job of dumbing down and subjugating the British public. Less than 40 years ago, if one had stated that Eric Blair's prediction of an Orwellian, totalitarian state being a kindergarten compared to what was going to transpire in the 21st. century, one would have been met with, ''Yer avvin a laff, aincha, coultn't never 'appen  'ere mate, 'ave anover cup a tea.''

BBM, If that was the case then the Coroner would have gone to the McC's apartment to take Madeleine for autopsy and forensic testing to finalise a cause of death report for a death certificate. If the McC's had been drugging their children so they could go out at night without them then that would of shown up on toxicology testing. If they were found by that to be drugging their kids then it would have been possible to charge them with contributing to their own child's death. And if they would have lied to the police about Maddie's death in their presence while they were in fact absent, then there would be witnesses that could give evidence that they were seen out to dinner without their children, thus evidence the children were home alone & neglected once police investigated into a potential babysitter or who was minding their children.
The McCann's aren't really known to be truthful either. And i don't think any of us know for sure if there was an accident that night or not, but blood and cadaver evidence certainly points to a death in the McCann apartment and in the boot of the hire car. Perhaps Maddie was murdered and it wasn't an accident, who knows.
I think Inspector Amaral who was first investigator on the case believed Maddie died accidentally, and he is a trained investigator, so maybe he just had a clue from his previous dealings with these things.

I very much doubt whether the portuguese authorities would have paid much heed to an accidental death, after all, they appeared to be glad to see the back of the McCanns. Portugal isn't a draconian police state like the UK, besides which, child negligence doesn't appear to encounter such tabloid hysteria in Portugal as in the UK and certainly the US.

For what its worth, I too don't believe that the McCanns intentionally murdered their daughter, but I equally don't believe it was an UNAVOIDABLE accident. I think that when Goncala Amoral referred to Madelaine accidentally dying in his book, he had libel in mind which transpired to be prophetic.

As for drug testing, why, they didn't even bother to test the remaining two, despite by all accounts being so spaced out, they didn't stir with the chaos erupting around them. If it had have been an unavoidable accident, it would have merely passed off as a tragedy with sympathy all round. For the McCanns to have adopted the gambit they did, there had to have been something far more sinister involved than an accidental death, with or without their presence.

I think it is rather flippant to say how portugese authorities would treat the accidental death of a child. This is posted here underneath the header,
Kate McCann's lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu: ''If you were Portuguese this would be enough to put you in prison.''
So there you have it, i don't think the portugese would take a child's accidental death or not lightly, and it is insulting to say they would IMO.
As far as testing the twins i don't know if the police were in the apartment at that time, i think they were out searching for Madeleine. But the tapas friends were there and witnessed K.Mc's concern over them, yet none of them mentioned that perhaps they should be checked out for drugging just after a little girl was found to be missing????

The McCanns were foreign nationals and it wouldn't be unnatural for the Portuguese authorities to have paid less attention to an accidental death than had they been natives. In any event, why would they pay any particular attention to an accidental death? It wouldn't have even got a mention in the local press, never mind attained worldwide notoriety

It was the McCanns and their friends who turned the investigation into a murder/kidnapping investigation, not the Portuguese authorities. To quote one of your favourite causes, it was the prosecutor in the Casey Anthony trial who during his summation to the jury stated, 'You don't make an accident appear to be a murder.' (or words to that effect)

I think it is rather flippant to say how portugese authorities would treat the accidental death of a child. This is posted here underneath the header,
Kate McCann's lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu: ''If you were Portuguese this would be enough to put you in prison.''

The McCanns were foreign nationals and it wouldn't be unnatural for the Portuguese authorities to have paid less attention to an accidental death than had they been natives. In any event, why would they pay any particular attention to an accidental death? It wouldn't have even got a mention in the local press, never mind attained worldwide notoriety

It was the McCanns and their friends who turned the investigation into a murder/kidnapping investigation, not the Portuguese authorities. To quote one of your favourite causes, it was the prosecutor in the Casey Anthony trial who during his summation to the jury stated, 'You don't make an accident appear to be a murder.' (or words to that effect)
I don't know if the McC's being foreign nationals had much to do with anything as any foreign national that comes under investigation in a crime in a foreign country comes under the laws of that country. I think it had more to do with the U.K. Govt. higher ups running interference in the case very promptly after Madeleine was discovered missing and possibly the flurry of phone calls by the McC's.
And i am also not definitely purporting a theory of an accident, because for all i know it could have been a murder?
I mention the CA case because i think there are parallels to both cases is all. I followed a few missing child cases in the U.S. and i can't remember any other cases like these two where evidence of a dead child's body was found in the trunk of a vehicle.

Detectives have key questions for witnesses to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
The Scotland Yard officers have analysed minutely events which happened just before, during and immediately after Madeleine vanished on May 3, 2007 and appear to be seeking new information and clarification from important witnesses.

Among those scheduled for requestioning is Silvia Batista, who ran the service and maintenance departments of the Ocean Club at Praia da Luz on the Algarve where the McCanns were staying.

Shortly after the alarm was raised, Mrs Batista was contacted at her home in nearby Lagos and immediately went back to work.

When she arrived at a reception area she saw Madeleine's father Gerry on his knees on the floor crying out for help and banging his hands on the floor.

A few minutues later she entered the bedroom at apartment 5a and said that the shutters were down, the windows closed and the curtains slightly open.

Kate McCann has said that when she arrived to find Madeleine gone, the shutters were partly open in the bedroom, leading her to believe that Madeleine had been taken through the window.

In her statement Mrs Batista said Gerry told her he had closed the windows as their other two children, Sean and Amelie, then 18 months, were still asleep in separate cots in the bedroom.

Mrs Batista, a former receptionist at the Ocean Club, worked closely with her husband Joao, who was head of maintenance and services.

In the past year both were made redundant because of falling bookings at the Ocean Club, which have been blamed on the recession and publicity surrounding Madeleine's disappearance.

Another facing requestioning is John Hill, manager of the Ocean Club.

When he arrived at the club after receiving a call at 10.28pm from a colleague, some 100 people were already searching for Madeleine.

He also spoke with Kate and Gerry that night in their apartment and helped arrange for photos of the child to be distributed.

Mr Hill and his wife Donna printed pictures after being given a memory stick by Russell O'Brien, a friend of the McCanns whose partner Jane Tanner's picture of Madeleine gathering tennis balls is well known.

saw the weird guy and we nearly bumped into each other. He was embarrassed. He was nervous.
Mario Fernando's witness remarks

Donna Hill is likely to be requestioned early in the New Year.

Scotland Yard detectives are also interested in claims that a set of keys to apartment 5a, kept in the maintenance section, went missing in the week that Madeleine vanished, first revealed by the Sunday Express last February when we reported that a former maintenance worker said the disappearance of the keys had not been reported to the authorities.

Detectives also want their Portuguese counterparts to interview Mario Fernando, 47, who came forward last May to say he saw a suspicious man wearing sun glasses in a stairwell looking at apartment 5a 24 hours before Madeleine disappeared. The former Ocean Club laundryman was collecting sheets when he saw the man: "I saw the weird guy and we nearly bumped into each other.

"He was embarrassed. He was nervous. He was walking out from the hole under the stairs and must have been much further inside but had taken several steps back after hearing me coming.

"He had a really fat face and had two-tone sunglasses on."

Last week it was revealed that Robert Murat was one of those on the Yard's list of people it wants more information from.

Mr Murat told the Sunday Express he would be happy to cooperate but has not received anything official yet from the authorities.

Portuguese police have to conduct the interviews but Scotland Yard officers can sit in during questioning. Some interviews were due to be held last week but they now look likely to be held in the New Year.

Former Scotland Yard murder detective Peter Bleksley said that this next stage of the investigation was a "logical progression" for the police.

"I would think that they have been concentrating on the timeline in the review period and they have may have come across some inconsistencies which they want to look into," he said. "That would be my thinking on this.

"They will want to know who was where, who saw what and at what time and try to work through the inconsistencies while at the same time seeking new information.

"Going back to square one will have formed a big part of the original review which has now moved into the investigative stage. It is a logical progression."

Are we now getting to the point where there is nobody left but the T9? By interviewing SB & JH this surely brings us closer however the missing keys could be the avenue they wish to pursue (it could then take us back to the burglars who don't steal anything other than dead children).imo.

So we now have ANOTHER printer, another memory stick, another person taking the tennis balls picture
We now have HILL arranging for the printing of the photos, not ROB and Tierney using her own printer
we have the tennis balls photo available on 3-4/5/7, but not released until 6/5/7 by the Press Association
We have shutters DOWN, windows closed, curtains half closed

The article doesn't say that the tennis ball photo was available it just states it was JT that took it. Can't read too much into this report, perhaps who they are going to interview is the only possible accurate part. imo

Oh dear!!

page 57, 'madeleine', by Dr Kate McCann - An account of what happened:

TUESDAY 1 MAY

"During Gerry's tennis lesson, Madeleine and Ella came to the adjoining court with their Mini Club for a mini-tennis session...she looked so gorgeous in her little T-shirt and shorts, pink hat, ankle socks and new holiday sandals that I ran back to our apartment for my camera to record the occasion...

____________________

Dr Martin Roberts: "The evidence is that these are the pjyamas Madeleine wore on holiday in Praia da Luz. They were photographed and the photo handed to a press agency, who released it on 8 May, as the search for Madeleine continued. The McCanns held up these same pyjamas at two press conferences on 5 & 7June 2007. How could Madeleine have been abducted?"

Amelie McCann (aged 2): "Maddie's jammies!".

Tony, does she in the book claim that the 'famous' tennis photo is hers or is she just stating that she went to get her camera (and maybe did get a photo but not the published one)

AND
It is always assumed that the tennis lessons and mini tennis etc were on the two courts by the children's pool by the Tapas bar, whereas we have testimony from someone who has been visiting the resort for years that on the contrary, these activities were on the THREE adjacent courts 200m to the East of the Main reception.

And consider.
You have booked a high level tennis lesson with a professional, at 28 Euros an hour, and suddenly a group of tiny children with their minders come on to the next court and start mucking around, with balls rolling under your feet, and the children chasing them as you are trying to serve . . .
I think you might not be pleased. Quite apart from the Health and Safety aspects of whacking someone else's child in the ear with a 98 mph serve, or tripping over one as it ran onto your court
Yet again, it makes little sense.

So, Kate tells us that the tennis photograph was taken on 1 May 2007, yet the one by the pool, taken on 3 May, was  "the last photograph"

NAH!!!!

‘During Gerry’s tennis lesson, Madeleine and Ella came to the adjoining court with their Mini Club for a mini-tennis session. Jane and I stayed to watch them. It chokes me remembering how my heart soared with pride in Madeleine that morning. She was so happy and obviously enjoying herself. Standing there listening intently to Cat’s instructions, she looked so gorgeous in her little T-shirt and shorts, pink hat, ankle socks and new holiday sandals that I ran back to our apartment for my camera to record the occasion. One of my photographs is known around the world now: a smiling Madeleine clutching armfuls of tennis balls. At the end of their session, the children had been asked to run around the court and pick up as many balls as they could. Madeleine had done really well and was very pleased with herself. Gerry loves that picture.’

Tuesday 1/5/7
"On Tuesday 1 May, after my tennis lesson, two maintenance workers came to have a look at our washing machine, which I couldn’t get to operate. Gerry had also managed to break the window shutter mechanism in our bedroom shortly after we’d arrived, in spite of the sign asking guests to be gentle with it. What can I say? It’s the Gerry touch . . . The two men looked at the washing machine first. Once they’d established that the problem was something simple – not quite as simple as me not having pressed the ‘on’ button, but not much more complicated than that – I went to meet Gerry, whose lesson had started at ten-fifteen, leaving them to fix the shutter.
During Gerry’s tennis lesson, Madeleine and Ella came to the adjoining court with their Mini Club for a mini-tennis session. Jane and I stayed to watch them. It chokes me remembering how my heart soared with pride in Madeleine that morning. She was so happy and obviously enjoying herself.
