McMinute - Gerry asked "Did you kill your daughter?"





McMinute - McCanns Can't Remember Possibly Important Sightings

Superb HiDeHo xx



Gerry claims 'the only time she was left unattended was when we were at dinner.'

Ahem, Madeleine was heard crying non-stop for nearly two hours on the night of 1st May by the "plummy voiced" Mrs Fenn.... that's more than ample time for one of the 3 abandoned toddlers to meet with a fatal accident. So it seems Madeleine meeting her demise in Apartment 5A due to being left alone nightly, is not quite as "ludicrous" as mummy and daddy dearest would have us believe!

Dr. Roberts 'Now we know' 2011 with thanks to McCannfiles:

"Did you kill your daughter?" asks the lady journalist. Gerry answers:

"No. That's an emphatic 'no.' I mean the ludicrous thing is. Errm... what... I suppose... what's been purported from Portugal is that Madeleine died in the apartment by an accident and we hid her body. Well, when did she have the accident and died? Cos... the only time she was left unattended was when we were at dinner, so if she died then, how could we have disposed of... hidden her body when there was an immediate search. It's just nonsense. So. An' if she died when we were in the apartment or fell injured, why would we... why would we cover that up?"

KM (interjecting): "And it gets even more ludicrous, that we've obviously hidden her so incredibly well, where nobody's found her and we hid her (interviewer: 'incredibly well') so well that we then decided that we'd move her in the car which we hired weeks later and you know it's just ridiculous."

Let's take this a step at a time.

"Did you kill your daughter?"

"No. That's an emphatic 'no.'"

This is Gerry speaking don't forget. For any other innocent mortal 'Absolutely not' would have been a sufficient response. Not for Gerry though. Despite his subsequent claim, he gives a decidedly unemphatic answer - 'No.' What follows is meta-language, where he is describing his earlier articulation of a word and does not address the underlying semantics in any way. Incoherent and unnecessary expansion then takes us away from the original question, referencing what has been 'purported' in Portugal, namely that 'Madeleine died in the apartment by an accident and we hid her body.'

Next comes a cunning locking of the incident to a specific time frame, with the suggestion that Madeleine could only have had an accident when unattended. But Gerry slips up in questioning how it would have been possible for them to have disposed of Madeleine's body. In immediately substituting the phrase hidden her body he has already told us what in fact happened. Excitedly he goes on to ask why the parents should have covered up an accident. Why indeed.

It hardly comes as a surprise that Kate leaps in at this point, before Gerry's mouth can write any more bad cheques. She loses no time in elaborating upon the 'hide-and-seek' scenario played out that Thursday night, and the 'ludicrous' idea of their hire car being involved afterwards. But the damage has already been done.

The script, charitably outlined by Goncalo Amaral and fleshed out here by the McCanns, so as to exonerate themselves, depends entirely for its effect upon the premise that little Madeleine disappeared inexplicably that Thursday night; a premise that becomes less clear the closer it is examined. And Gerry is right. It wouldn't make sense to conceal an accident.

I agree tigger, and Kate when describing the night of May 2nd with Madeleine clearly can't remember anymore than what she has written on a piece of paper somewhere, or she doesn't want to remember. That part of the video gives me the shivers.

Yes very cunning indeed, a diversion to safe ground for he knows, as we all know, that it was not possible for them to have hidden her body if the *accident* had been on the 3rd whilst they were on the lash with their mates having dinner with their medical acquaintances. That's the whole point isn't it.

Yup. No sense at all.

It's a gift that video. I agree with Tigger's assessment. Interesting the 'disposed of her body' bit.

[littlepixie]

I watched it with and without sound. He actually flashes his maniacal Paxman smile as he answers the question of whether or not he killed his daughter.

I'm quoting Dr. Roberts there, Professor. I'd hate to get unearned laurels! Dr. Roberts' work is worth reading. All on McCannfiles.

Thanks again Hi for another excellent vid. Watching this would make you wonder if they are telling the event exactly as it happened.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]



They are both highly animated in this piece. Extreme head shaking from GM. All about defending themselves. They speak about Madeleine like you would about an object. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]



GM: "When did she have the accident and died?" ???



GM:"The only time she was left alone & unattended was when we were at dinner"

A blatant lie, as per Mrs. Fenn.



KM:"We've obviously hidden her so incredibly well"

Interviewer: "Incredibly well"

Indeed.



Yet again I'm filled with emotion watching these emotionless parents defending themselves against the indefensible. Poor Madeleine [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I think they were both blustery and quite flippant, no emotion towards Madeleine at all as per usual, just self.
