Documentary looking into the reason why the disappearance of Madeleine McCann continues to make headline news when hundreds of children go missing every year?

Pity Ben Needham's mother can't get as much publicity.

Just noticed on twitter someone pointed out that Frizzel is married to Fional Phillips, supporter of Mr. & Mrs.

Why only the McCann's? Maybe the authorities etc. could tell the general public about Why?

Possibly because the McCann case is the only one with so many sceptics who won't stop asking awkward questions and analysing the obvious inconsistencies in the case because so many don't believe the parents, unlike in other cases, where the parents are believed. And of course, something else is gong on to warrant this unprecedented level of protection and interference on the part of the authorities. For some reason, they've got to suppress criticism and push the image they want the general public to believe. With the Internet factored in, these 'traditional' methods aren't working and I reckon the more they push their agenda, the more people are starting to question rather than just accept. How frustrating for them!

In my opinion.

The Guardian, 02 June 2007, reports that: 'Jill Renwick has known the couple since they all worked together at a Glasgow hospital more than a decade ago. She spoke to Kate at 7am on the morning after Madeleine vanished: "She just said, 'Help me, please help me'. She said, 'We've been searching all night until 4.30am, and then everybody left us'. At that stage there was only one police officer at the door. They didn't know what to do. So I phoned GMTV."'
 
07:30am
   
David James Smith writes that: 'It is widely believed among the Portuguese media, and perhaps the police too, even now, that the McCanns called Sky News before they called the police. For the record, Sky News picked up the story from GMTV breakfast television, at around 7.30am the following day.'


Bridget O'Donnell writes that: 'The next morning, we made our way to breakfast and met one of the Doctors, the one who had come round in the night. His young daughter looked up at us from her pushchair. There was no news. They had called Sky television - they didn't know what else to do. He turned away and I could see he was going to weep.'


It also clearly states, from a first-hand account, that Sky Television were called directly with the news, contradicting previous reports that Sky picked up the story from GMTV. Sky News broadcast the 'Breaking News' at 07:38am.

And there's the 'rub'!

They wouldn't have 'lost' her IF they had not left her alone, with two even younger siblings, diliberately and consciously, in a unlocked and unsecured apartment, out of their eyesight for at least 34 minutes, abroad, would they?

They wouldn't have 'lost' her if they had paid a babysitter, a few euros, to sit with the kids, would they?

Whose 'fault' do you think it is, Mary Nightingale, that Madeleine McCann is 'lost'?

Is it everyone 'elses' fault, she is 'lost'?

And certainly NOT the McCanns 'FAULT' she is 'lost'?



Just a quickie question for Mary Nightingale:

Why is it IMPOSSIBLE that the McCanns, or people they know, were NOT, and could not have been, 'involved', in any way, in Madeleine becoming, er, 'lost'?

Of course, the real 'rub' is that had it merely been a case of her being left alone with her younger siblings, she would have been alive and well today.

Spot on. I'm of the opinion that the T9 children weren't left alone on previous nights but hesitate to speculate as to who their 'childcare' actually was.

Funny how Kate includes herself and Gerry in the 'searching all night' quote when she later went on to reveal that they didn't actually 'physically search.'

They were tired, you see - been extremely busy (WTF?)


And then it's interesting that she didn't go on to tell her friend that around 6am, just her and Gerry went out on their own 'searching.'

On their own.

Nobody with them.

According to Dave, one of my mates in the pub, this is when they went and moved the body to a more secure location.

Maybe Dave's hypothesis is correct.
