Photographs and memories

Purple, Molly??? Why? Ah, no. No connection to Tanner as far as I know. Is that what you had in mind?

kikoraton wrote:Yes, a lot. Crimson or purple - rather poor quality photo. Would you like to Pm me about it?

It does answer some of the questions about the football shirt photos; some of them are "age progressed" to give an impression of what she might look like now. However, we're no nearer to knowing what she looked like at any time in the past, thanks to the bewildering array of photos of apparently unrelated children.

I've been looking thru tigger's photos (the second link), and it occurs to me more than it did before that the McCs were determined to impress upon the public that Maddie was always in pink. What nonsense! She loved all colours including pale blue, Everton blue, bright red, lilac and so on. I picked out in particular three photos which the McCs insist were taken on that holiday - tho I have no doubt that they manipulated the time and date as well as the content. But the important thing is - all on that holiday, and all in pink or pink and white! Why were they so determined to stress that she loved pink more than anything?
The playpark photo - said to have been taken by a family friend at 1715 on 2 May.
The so-called Last Photo, said to have been taken by KM at 1430 on 3 May.
The Tennis Balls photo.
The funny thing is, I was also looking to see if any photos in that collection might be not of Maddie, but someone posing as her. The three that I had doubts about were........... well, you can guess which ones!

I tried a little topic on their business sense. The linking they seem to be particularly good at.
Maddie:
pink bedroom, pink clothes, pyjamas were white but became pink, pink Cuddle Cat (brand new IMO), pink hair bead.

When the idea for the Fund came up, someone did some serious reading on advertising.

Kate can say what she likes, tinkerbelle, because the "Last day" as envisaged by the McCs, 3 May, did not exist for Maddie. She had died on the night of 28/29 April. On "her last day", she may have worn a peach Gap top.

I've found a link which mentions the twins not having much to do with Madeleine though it's not a direct quote.

Very early on in this sad case, Kate McCann said the twins were
coping well because they had never spent much time with Madeleine. Over
these past nearly three years, though, they have been encouraged to
develop a myth about someone they must hardly have known and will surely
not remember. The myth being enhanced regularly by Kate and Gerry seems
to be of a sister who is being held by an evil man, but that she is
able to communicate in a way by sending gifts and that one day she will
be rescued and just take her place, happily, at the dinner table and
share Amelie's toys. It's the myth of the golden girl who will return
and they will all live happily ever after. We know that Kate and Gerry
have consulted a psychologist about how to tell the twins about Maddie,
but I cannot imagine a professional psychologist advising parents to
maintain this kind of myth.
