Just going back again to the photo's Rosa posted (Page 20 I think) And the picture JD posted (page 38)
At the airport according to Katie Madeleine was holding Lily's hand

JD's comparison with Gerry's t-shirt from the shuttle bus & last photo

Last photo, is Gerry wearing same t-shirt as shuttle bus and same shorts from the playground photo above?

On P 47 & 48 of her book while she describes the "cool" weather and her heroic swim, and the 3 hour thaw out. I think she really means that she changed the kids into their summer clothes and they dipped their toes in the pool. The kids clothes, especially Amelie's look so fresh & clean.

Hello I'm new here!
Just wanted to say...
If you look at the cake it is clearly decorated with blue and pink icing and the names 'sean' and 'amelie'

You CANNOT do this in photoshop. The strands of hair over the background cannot be reproduced like that. You would have hard line edges and obvious artefacts of the digital painting needed, it is not possible in photoshop to achieve this result.[/
Maybe it is Amelie and Gerry that have been photoshopped in?! Fewer hair issues?

Whose birthday?
Welcome Lolly. As regards the birthday cake photo, I can't see any wording on the cake at all though that could be my eyes and not being able to enlarge the photo sufficiently. What do others think?

I can't see the writing on the cake either, but the pink and blue and two candles do suggest Sean and Amelie. What I think probably happened was that they let the twins blow the candles out, and then relit them and let Madeleine have a go - I know quite a few people who do that and let each child have a turn. (Even more exciting - get those candles which relight themselves!)
The problem is - why pretend it's Madeleine's birthday? Why not just say what was happening?

I can't guess why you would pretend it was her birthday - maybe a press error? It says Amelie atthe top by the candle and Sean underneath in what looks like black icing.

Even at 400% I cannot read the writing, but I agree the blue and pink icing would indicate it was for the twins.
Yes, I can see the last three letters at the top and it says 'lie', which must be the last bit of Amelie.

Birthday blues (and pinks)
When this photo first appeared here some time ago the point was raised that Madeleine looked very big to be just 2 years old so it certainly explains it if she was 3 years and nearly nine months. This could just be just a media error but then again the McCanns have for some reason issued several other photos of Madeleine where the date they were taken is open to debate.

More strange photos
I don't know if there's a link to this site already.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
One wonders why the McCanns didn't issue photos supposedly taken in early April 2007 to show what Madeleine looked like only a month later.

Resurrection
Apologies resurrecting this!
I think it is safe to say, after all is said and done, that there is something VERY ODD about this 'last photo'. Its almost a circular argument - IF it really was taken in PdL in 2007, why wasn't it produced there and then? If not, why not? Was there a photo at all available of Maddie in PdL that spring - if not, why not?
IF we accept that the 'last photo' is genuine and WAS taken on that holiday, then the 'tennis ball pic' CANNOT be Maddie, taken within days. I would stake every penny I own and then some, that IF these were taken within days, they are different children, 100%.
Now I COULD, at a push, accept they are BOTH MBM, but only if they were taken a year or so apart _ which takes us to 2006. IF the pool pic is untouched and taken in 2006, why lie??? I don't like the answer!
This is what I would like help with:
1) We know that when K McC covers something in lots of detail it is either a)VERY IMPORTANT to the case or b)red herring.
2) In the book, K McC makes much of the purchase of 'the pool outfit' - where it was from, how pretty Maddie looked, even 'it was an extravagance but worth it'
WHAT is the significance of Kate mentioning this so much? Does anyone here know if the 'outfit' was available and surrendered to police in PdL (or did Gerry collect it on his trip home, along with photo, maybe?) Makes me wonder if the outfit was bought for a holiday in 06, coz pool girl and tennis girl aint the same if REALLY both pictured in May 07 (I also think 'Amelie' looks 'too young' at pool).
What does anyone else think???

Re: 'The Last Photo': The key questions
I've just skimmed through the previous posts, couldn't immediately find a high res. of the poolside photo.
But: lots wrong with it.
Amelie looks a little young - by about 6 months? - although she is much smaller than Sean. She is also missing the top of her right arm. This annoys me because that means the ham fisted photo shopping was either Amelie or Gerry. My money is on him, because his thighs don't really flatten out enough to be sitting on that edge.
The red flower in the background - according to an earlier poster- doesn't flower in April but in June/July.
The whole group doesn't work, everybody is looking at something else. The shadows apparently say the sun is right overhead, also not possible in April.
Maddie is definitely too young, three or so I should think. She may actually be there! I can't see much wrong with her although it is quite possible to draw in loose hair. There is a strange crossover near her left temple, v. short hair and longer blond.
So can we have a situation where they visited PdL in 2006? They need not have stayed there, just visited. Could have been late August even, just seven months earlier or so. We've also got Burgau to contend with, it's is very likely two photographs of Maddie were taken there.
It's a very summery dress for April, but if we look at Burgau, she is wearing a strappy sundress there.

Re: 'The Last Photo': The key questions
There is a high res picture on this thread somewhere and a very good big one. It might be around page 30. A so called expert who put it up
With the flower bed, there were pictures taken of the pool area from other people a few weeks after and the flowers were there

pool photo
In the pool photo Kate said that Maddie was looking to her left and laughing at something Sean was getting up to.
Really?
Zoom in on her eyes and you will see where she is looking; directly at the camera. Now one would think that if Maddie had found something so funny at the point where the picture was being taken from, it would surely have drawn Amilie's attention and of course daddy would have been at least smiling too.
I'am utterly convinced Maddie has been shopped into this picture. Look at the white line between her left elbow and wrist and as i have said before, the composition of the photo is all wrong, i.e why is Maddie so far to the left. Just imagine she is not in the picture then the composition becomes correct.
There are so many more inconsistances that I could point out but I don't want to prattle on too much as most of them have been pointed out before, here and other forums.

Re: 'The Last Photo': The key questions
JD for an experienced and supposedly intelligent doctor O'Brien seems remarkably nervous in his rogatory statement.
I have given statements to the police several times as a witness and have never found an intimidating experience but then I was telling the truth.

I have been questioned by the police and you have no idea what they're going to ask you - indeed, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, so they can assess not only your answer but also your reaction to the question!
Feel sure PeterMac would be best to advise on this but it sure doesn't seem right to me. Surely if ROB inadvertently answered the VERY NEXT question in his previous one, they wouldn't then ask it again - immediately?

You get sent a list of questions to ask and you note the replies, or tape them nowadays.
You can follow up on answers, but since you are not the investigating officer there is a tendency just to do what it says on the card - ask and record.
So the DC was bound to put the question even though it had just been answered. I do not believe there is anything sinister in that, nor that it indicates there the subject knew in advance.
Re: 'The Last Photo': The key questions
Fair do's and fair enough, PeterMac! You know I trust your judgement. BUT I just find it really odd that in answer to "What kind of photo was it?" He replied then added on who he gave it to, when that was the very next question!PeterMac wrote:Commissions rogatoires, Rogatory interviews, are very different.rainbow-fairy wrote:I was reading all the above posts, and this portion of ROB's statement jumped out at me:

I understand that the Rogatories were based on a list of questions sent by the PJ, it just seems odd that he answered the next question like that - what sort of photo was it? Should be answered with 'one of MBM with longer hair' - the 'we gave them out to the GNR' seems unnecessary and superfluous, especially in light of knowing they were allowed to re-read their earlier statements.
However, I totally accept your explanation as equally if not more likely, in light of your old profession

Really?
Zoom in on her eyes and you will see where she is looking; directly at the camera. Now one would think that if Maddie had found something so funny at the point where the picture was being taken from, it would surely have drawn Amilie's attention and of course daddy would have been at least smiling too.
I'am utterly convinced Maddie has been shopped into this picture. Look at the white line between her left elbow and wrist and as i have said before, the composition of the photo is all wrong, i.e why is Maddie so far to the left. Just imagine she is not in the picture then the composition becomes correct.
There are so many more inconsistances that I could point out but I don't want to prattle on too much as most of them have been pointed out before, here and other forums.
But what about Amelie's missing upper arm? I did blow the thing up a lot and there's no way that her arm is further back. The other sleeve is pretty well filled with her arm, so there wasn't enough material there to hang loose. There's a bit of blurring there too. So that's why I wondered who had been pasted in, why mess with Amelie's arm? Because she is about the only one who looks as if she belongs there.

Re: 'The Last Photo': The key questions
Hey tigger! I too have pondered the whereabouts of Amelie's arm, it's very obvious to me! I did even wonder if she was doing that silly kiddy thing, you know where they put an arm inside the torso bit? But I came to the conclusion that there would be more 'bulk' at the front if that was the case. She definitely has no arm, does she?tigger wrote:frank zappa wrote:In the pool photo Kate said that Maddie was looking to her left and laughing at something Sean was getting up to.

The missing arm?
I can see what people mean when they say that it looks as if Amelie's right arm is missing but I think that's an optical illusion. You can in fact see a little of her arm above the shadow on Gerry's leg and shorts.
I am now going to lie down after staring too long at Gerry's legs!
