The Complete Mystery of Madeleine McCann™

Kate McCann's lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu: ''If you were Portuguese this would be enough to put you in prison.''

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Martin Brunt: "Scotland Yard believes it has unearthed enough clues to justify the Portuguese authorities re-opening their investigation, which was abandoned 15 months after Madeleine vanished."....Kate McCann: "What we need is for the Portuguese police to reopen the case. That is crucial."...Gonçalo Amaral: "For the McCanns to ask for the process to be reopened, all it would take is a letter to the prosecutor...it costs them nothing, just the stamp on the letter."....The McCann couple or their Tapas friends could force the reopening of the process if they would do the reconstruction....In 2007 British Ambassador Alexander W. Ellis admitted that the British Police had developed evidence against Kate and Gerry McCann.....Assistant Chief Constable for Leicestershire police: “While one or both of the McCanns may be innocent there is no clear evidence that eliminates them from involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.”....Martin Brunt, Crime Correspondent: "The crucial part of the evidence appears to be a complete match of Madeleine's DNA in the boot of the hire car"...Inspector Ricardo Paiva: "It was Scotland Yard who first thought it could be a murder case."......British criminal profiler NPIA, Lee Rainbow: "Madeleine's father was the last one to see her alive. The family is a lead that should be followed. Contradictions in Gerald McCann's statements might lead us to suspect a homicide."...Francisco Moita Flores: "Scotland Yard has made another two million pounds available to search for Maddie McCann"....Gonçalo Amaral: "Elements from the Scotland Yard have been working with an investigative PJ team from Oporto, and what is known is that the “affair” is not going well for the McCanns.".....Scotland Yard dismisses work done by the private agency “Método” 3 hired by the McCann couple....Martin Grime: "Not all the alert signals have been investigated by the appropriate agencies in order to provide forensic comparations, in spite of indications to the contrary.".....Kate McCann: "I think I could probably forgive the abductor."

.....................................................................................................................................Martin Brunt: "There are 30 Met officers - the equivalent of a murder squad - working on the review and I'm told that a senior officer is having to give regular spending updates to the Home Office which is funding an operation that will cost several million and last many months."....Gonçalo Amaral: "The English can always present the conclusions to which they themselves arrived in 2007. Because they know, they have the evidence of what happened - they don't need to investigate anything. All this is now a mere 'show off'.....Manuel Catriano: "This story did not begin in the Ocean Club, but in London where the 'official truth' was conspired and established: an English girl was kidnapped in the Algarve."....Gonçalo Amaral: "Dr Katherina Gaspar witnesses a scene with David Payne and Gerry McCann which flabbergasts her and makes her fear for the safety of her daughter and the other children"....Gonçalo Amaral: " I have understood their game. The McCanns knew that I was going to catch them. So the game is always the same. We want to catch them, they want to escape, and that's it. Sometimes the bandits win, sometimes the policemen do."....Gonçalo Amaral: "Under the old Penal Process, how do I ask Kate: "Are you lying when you say you didn't touch the window? As a matter of fact, it was you who opened the window. We have material evidence of that. A question like this forces the constitution of arguido...".....Tony Bennett: "The Madeleine Foundation has now sent a 32-page letter and a bundle of supporting evidence to the Scotland Yard 'Maddie Case' Review Team".............Gonçalo Amaral: "The little girl died in the apartment. Everything is in the book, which is faithful to the investigation until September: it reflects the understanding of the Portuguese and the English police and of the Public Ministry. For all of us until then the concealment of the cadaver, the simulation of abduction and the exposure or abandonment were proved."...Gonçalo Amaral: "For the McCanns to ask for the process to be reopened, all it would take is a letter to the prosecutor...it costs them nothing, just the stamp on the letter."...Gonçalo Amaral: "The investigation will be concluded, it will be reopened and it will be taken to an end; and justice will be made, that is all that we want."...Gonçalo Amaral: "There are hundreds of indications, clues regarding a certain event; and it is that event that some people do not accept and want to conceal."...Kate Healy was not immediately made an arguida, but merely interviewed voluntarily as a witness. Only after her interview was she made an arguida, that is, after she was confronted with concrete facts that might lead to her incrimination."...Gonçalo Amaral: "If the McCanns admit that their daughter is dead, they can no longer collect money from the Maddie fund, and that's a lot of money, over one million pounds. That's why they say that the girl was abducted."...Kate McCann: "This pair (Carter Ruck lawyers) continue to do a vast amount of work for us, without payment, most of it quietly behind the scenes."...Gonçalo Amaral: "Nowadays I have no doubts left, the archival for various reasons, was mainly due to political pressures made by the English - I have no doubts about that."...Gonçalo Amaral: "I remind you that they demanded the archiving of the process, in 2008, when they were arguidos, merely to defend their image. They are not interested in the reopening of the process or of the investigation"...Gonçalo Amaral: "It's too big and too serious a burden to be concealed by so many people for their entire lives."...Gonçalo Amaral: "Let's remember it is totally logical to find Madeleine's DNA in the home, but absolutely not in a car rented more than twenty days after her disappearance."...Tony Bennett: "The question is: exactly what is it about Madeleine's disappearance that caused such a massive level of government activity, including MI5 and secret service type groups like Control Risks Group, to become involved, and so quickly and in such large numbers? Was it to help find a missing child? Or to locate an abductor?...Martin Grime: "My professional opinion as regards to the EVRD's alert indications is that it is suggestive that this is 'cadaver scent' contaminant."...Gonçalo Amaral: "If the body had been buried there would have been mummification. The fact that there were fluids points to refrigeration."...Dr Vernon Coleman: "Would you hire the McCanns as babysitters?"...Gonçalo Amaral: "there were gestures and words indicating the existence of a child molester within that group of people"...Jose Barra da Costa, PJ: "There are people who guarantee that this is a couple who practice 'swinging' - i.e. sexual relationships between couples and then changing partners, and that this practice would allow in this type of..."...Justine McGuiness: "We were a bit naughty because we did have messages coming out of the police station which we weren't supposed to..."...C443 J.N. HUGHES: Background Information- Gerald McCANN - A search of the local section of the child abuse shows a registration number 19309 in the CATS system....Dr Katherina Gaspar: "I remember Dave telling Gerry something like “she”, referring to Madeleine, “would do this”.. While he mentioned the word 'this', David was doing the action of sucking one of his fingers, pushing it in and out of his mouth, while with his other hand he was doing a circle around his nipple. I remember being shocked by that."...Sofia Leal: “My husband and I have never abandoned our daughters, or allowed paedophiles in our circle of friends. I am shocked that a couple who affirm to be religious is seeking out to destroy our family”...Gerry McCann: "There's no evidence that Madeleine is dead and there's no evidence to implicate us in her death"...

................................................................................................................................................................................................ Gerry McCann: "It is something we raised at Leveson that Madeleine and her safety is often treated with complete contempt"....Carlos Anjos, president of ASFIC/PJ: “What the McCanns did was...they've put on their internet page “We asked the authorities”, but they didn't, because to ask means to send a request to the Prosecutor's Office or to the Judiaciary Police, and that didn't happen. I think what we have here it's some sort of deception.”....................................................

I don't know immediately where you would find it, but Russian Doll found quite a few questions in the book.
e.g. the crying episode - at one point Gerry and Kate wondered if she'd been crying when she was having a bath. Which immediately ( thumbup RD) begged the question, if they had to wonder - then they weren't there when Maddie was being bathed. So who did that?

The book is full of this stuff, I'm afraid that the revised paperback version may have taken note of our comments and changed quite a few things!

Thank you I am going through RD posts on this subject also.

Chapter 1 full of I , we , no mention of MMC yet , for me the story began in May 2007 as did the diaries of KMC, did the public really need all that rambling details of their background ?

This Chapter is entitled Madeline yet it starts as page 31 and it is page 40 before she is mentioned , again all the details of eggs , sperm is totally not needed in this book , a brief reference to IVF would have been sufficent.



On the birth of MMC , I am remebering the births of my own three , as it is a long time ago I find KMC words rather strange

" our daughter was perfect, beautiful round head, no marks, not at all squashed, big big eyes, lovely compact little body"

Perhaps the fact that she is a doctor that she described the baby like this but it does seem clinical to me

Chapter 3 drones on again , poor gerry had to care for MMC when he came home from work, KMC was so protective that she refused to travel as the car seat was wobbling very very slightly ! GMC thought she was over the top but KMC always erred on the side of caution ! 2004 annus horribilis !

On the birth of the twins "shocked by this boy of mine, wasnt the prettiest, he was squashed and his head was lop sided, Amelie was beautiful from the start ,

Towards the end of this chapter we get to going on the Holiday which IMO is where the book perhaps with a brief description of the family before May 2007 should have started.

I will be back later as I want to re read the upcoming chapters and to finish reading RD's post on the book.

I notice that the book is being offered in the 'used' section of Amazon from 44p, which must be quite galling. Having read it, Imo, I do not think it is particularly well written, believe it is aimed at a 'sympathetic' section of the book buying public , contains very little information about the child, lots of info about the writer's feelings, it is sometimes, bitter, vindictive and vicious, not to mention the question of page 129, which contains lines
I cannot understand the reasoning for.
All on my opinion.
My understanding is that the book is meant to aid the parents search and theory true account of what happened. If we cut through all the me, myself, I, references and look at the situation that the mother says she 'found' her daughter missing and compare that with their recent Scandanavian interviews where they say they still do not know what happened then what is left is a 'true'


account of what they SAY or Believe happened. This would therefore amount to no more than a theory, or worse guesswork. The mother stated in a tv interview in Portugal that she KNEW what had happened, in the recent interview, where the daughter's looks we are informed would make her blend in Scamdanavia, the father stated they did NOT know what happened. This was the infamous Portugal doesn't have a Royal Navy interview I believe. So, just taking those few points, how do they expect people to 'search' on their behalf when there are so many discrepancies. IMO. More to the point, the stuff I have written above is not rocket science so I cannot understand how people can be so gullible as to not question the given version of events. To lose a child must be devastating, but the manner of the aftermath of this particular story raises more questions than answers.

Oh my that really must be galling ! at 44p it would be too much for me , I did not buy it and TY to a poster who provided the link to it online.



Ok the Holiday , from that chapter after reading through again long drawn out descriptions of boring content I find the following points strange:

Sat Aug 28th 2007 KMC says " by this stage even I was feeling quite up for it " you were going on holidays for God's sake !

After the first few days we barely used the front door , coming and going through the patio doors and up and down the steps

There is a picture plan in the book of the apartment , looking at the way the bedroom door opens would'nt MMC's bed be the first to be seen on looking into the bedroom ? I must check the case files again as to what M. Olfield said about not seeing MMC's bed and that he could see the twins and I think the MC's said that they used to leave a light on in the living room or the hallway

MMC never woke before 2 or 3 in the morning, Oh thats fine so , once we are back before then all is fine and dandy

They are more precious and special to me than life itself and I would never knowlingly place them at risk no matter how small a risk it might seem to be............. leaving them alone ???

KMC mentions that lunchtimes were full of tales from the kids club ......... a little bit more information here would have been nice

Gerry and I like to have routine, though we are not obsessed by it ............ you are on holidays !

There is mention in this chapter of MMC new holiday sandals ........... my kids are long grown and flown and I can only comment that even to me those sandals do not look new and are even old fashioned looking,

Then we have the ice creams on the beach ......... " I was momentarily torn" in her subconscious she thought of abduction at this time

The pink running shoes......... way too much information , attacked by a dog in a foreign country and yet there is no mention of it as being important, I know I would certainly have sought attention , especially if the skin was broken............ oops I forgot they were all doctors

Gerry leaves the Tapas abruptly leaving KMC upset and embarrassed but this is only a storm in a teacup and though she found him snoring and had to sleep in the other room , she makes no big deal of it, placing myself in that position , if my husband did that he would get a right earfull the following morning

Well back to my reading

IMO a lot of attention needs paying to things that are skimmed over, dismissed as trivial or omitted by Kate in her book,[ e.g, info in the files]. I too believe the sleeping apart occasion was much more than she made of it.

Take a look at her check from when she entered 5a, the ridiculous amount of detail about opening and closing doors, her movements around 5a... what she claims to have done re the bedroom door is nonsense if she is going to visuallly check her daughter.

And why so little info about 30th April, nothing mentioned apart from the supermarket and the evening meal is referred to, this is a day according to creche records when the twins stayed in creche all afternoon until tea time at 5.30 but Maddie was in for just 15 minutes and out for 2 hours prior to 5.30...where was she and who was she with? She might have been unhappy in creche, unwell so removed, might have had some alone time with her Mum, Dad or both......why not tell us when Kate went into so much mundane detail about other days?

I totally agree with you on this RD, as I said in my post "tales from the kids club" why not tell us some of the fun things that MMC did ? arts and crafts. did she bring any back with her ( I remember having to wear a silly hat that my youngest made while we were in Malta ) instead we get a rambling and boring story about a pair of runners for God's sake, RD I am up to the crying episode and MMC strange remark, I am going to read some more posts on this and reread this section of the book as IMO this could be a key point in this.

I have this nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach about this crying in the bath episode. Gaspar statement springs to mind.
