Hi, just followed a link to the above police chatsite on The McCann Daily

One of the officers says the McCanns paid their mortgage off and bought a flat in Portugal from the fund. Is this true?

There does seem to be a general feeling among the officers that the case is very dodgy.

if this is true about the mortage and flat i wonder how the people who donated to the fund will feel if this got in the papers(i know but i live in hope)

by Guest 01.12.10 18:44

Personally I think it may be true imo, I cant really imagine it is something a copper would make up and post on a police forum. Perhaps anyone who has twitter or facebook accounts could get that info out there as to what has been suggested as an opinion of a police officer.

by soulthief 01.12.10 18:47

just when things couldn't egt any worse and the McCanns couldn't look any more conniving it gets a whole lot more sickening. angry2

Right so the police are going to comment on a forum about an ongoing case?

by littlepixie 01.12.10 21:23

They probably think it is no longer ongoing. They obviously havent read the PJ files looking at some of the posts on there.

Well we are. So why would the police not do so? They are human beings like the rest of us.

You must be thinking that police officers are all the same, Rainbow. Please do not believe that all police officers are like the rather naughty Leicester police officers mentioned in this case. Not all police officers tow the chief's line at Leicester, Rainbow. So it is only to be expected that officers from other areas will wonder why Madeleine's case ground to a halt, after such a long period of certainty . Police officers are much more attuned to this sort of thing than we are, Rainbow. They have a nose for all this. Rather like our friends Eddie and Keela.

On top of which I dont believe police generate stuff like that without evidence.
Also the mccanns are too cunningly clever to do such a stupid thing to entrap themselves. Laundry the fund maybe, but put in into easily traceable equity...err...hmmm...ha..?

Thanks for the link getem.

It felt staged, most people, at least for a short time, want to mourn in private, he was right out there bold as brass courting the press - I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote a book a few years down the line about his 'ordeal'. I don't think many people would say they were too surprised if at some point in the future it tanspired they were involved.

This poster was spot on.

by Guest 02.12.10 10:50

I have felt uneasy about them from the start, particularly Gerry McCann. He was far too media savvy, it was like he had planned his response in great detail, within days he was talking about setting up a fund (which has been used to pay off his mortgage and buy a flat in Portugal by the way) and using phrases like "world tour for Madeleine" - very strange wording in that context.

The poster who made the comment quoted by maebee also wrote this and he is a Chief Inspector so would have made that judgement based on years of experience.

by tiny 02.12.10 10:56

If this is true i wonder where in portugal the flat is,shame they stopped posting about it Sad

Hi Cherry,
I think he's a Chief Inspector on that forum in much the same way you're an Addict on this one - it's got more to do with the number of his posts than his 'years of experience'... UK Police online 847771
