I could not agree more. Kate seems to have created an alternate reality, doesn't she?

How differently we see thing Inspector F. I don't find it at all strange
that they were reluctant to tell KM of JT's sighting. She was already
in the most terrible state of fear and anxiety, why add to that distress
when during those first few hours hopes would be high that she may be
found at any minute and returned?
They had no way of knowing at the
time they made that decision that that wasn't going to happen.

re the above in bold : you can't be serious? JT told the group that with hindsight, the child she saw being carried away by a strange man could have been Maddie and hopes were high that she would be found and returned?

You see things in a very illogical way I am afraid LL.

I don't think it's illogical to think she may have been found dumped along the road somewhere, or that the person(s) who took may have been seen and caught with her - it's certainly not impossible anyway.

It's easy to criticise other people's actions when you have the benefit and 20-20 vision of hindsight and are sitting comfortably relaxed at home. The McCanns and their friends had just been hurled into the worst of all nightmares - and were having to make decisions there and then, in an atmosphere of increasing anxiety and panic and in a situation which none of them had ever experienced before.

Perhaps with the benefit of hindsight they may have thought they could have done things differently - who knows? The fact that they were in a foreign country where they didn't speak the language and had no idea of how the police dealt with missing children as opposed to in their own country made matters a lot more difficult for them IMO.

Good god, and yet she has the idiocy to go into print and do interviews claiming they went out for an hour at light and then got back to Fiona and David's apartment for breakfast, with the kids all happily playing with each other and not missing Madeleine at all, which according to Kate was really rather convenient.
Just Kate couldn't manage her breakfast, but I'm sure Gerry did, because if he hadn't Kate would have extended her already sad and sorry tale to make them even more victims of events which nobody else was trying hard enough to make right for them.
Perhaps someone should have thought to offer her a little warm milk with a little whisky in it, a hot toddy to ease her pain.... no, no-one thought of tempting her with that, they were all too damned selfish and thinking only of themselves and how to save their skins. Perhaps if the abductor had just brought Maddie back Kate might have got her appetite back, but then maybe not, that wouldn't have suited the wider agenda.

Red flag that NO ONE thought to tell KM about JTs sighting even though JT told most people quickly

Your best friends know JT saw a person carrying a child away and they keep it from you, not to hurt your feelings makes sense, not



How differently we see thing Inspector F. I don't find it at all strange that they were reluctant to tell KM of JT's sighting.

Madeleine by Kate Mccann
Friday 4th May 2007 before 8.00am

I have never felt any anger or disappointment whatsoever
towards Jane. On the contrary, I was grateful someone had seen something. I'm
sure this experience has been a terrible burden for her to carry around with her
every day since and I do feel for her. There have been many occasions when I
have visualized myself walking up that road instead of Jane. Would I even have
noticed the man and child? Seen that it was my daughter? Would it have dawned on
me, out of the blue, what was happening? If not, after going into the apartment
and finding Madeleine missing, would I instantly have made the connection and
been able to chase after him? I've even pictured myself catching up with him and
grabbing him by the shoulder. Saving Madeleine.

Does that sound very realistic to you?

which is exactly what would make me want to be out there looking, shouting in a language my child understood and expecting her to hear me so that I could find her.
There seems IMO to be a lack of empathy for the point of view of the missing child in your statements- a child who for some reason Kate thought might be 'cowering' in the apartment- so why couldn't she then be 'cowering' outside, in the bushes? Didn't they say the patio doors were unlocked in their statements? IIRC Kate said she wasn't told about Jane Tanner's UNTIL MUCH LATER. So logically Madeleine could have wandered outside? Wouldn't you have flown at the last person to check and said 'Are you absolutely sure you shut the doors?Or were they open when you checked, because you said you didn't actually see Madeleine? '

Personally I would just have to be out there looking.I couldn't not.

This assumes that the McCanns went back and found Madeleine missing. But why then tell obvious porkies about shutters being jemmied which would immediately be proved untrue in the light of day? Why go round telling people that she had been abducted by paedophiles? That's one of the last things that anyone would want for their child.

Well, maybe, stress, as you say, does strange things to people, but it's things like that that made people who were initially sympathetic begin to think - there is something wrong here. They are not being entirely straight.

Fast forward four years:

Why go on television and say that 'they never made much of her eye, you couldn't really see it, it was just a fleck',when all the posters at the time said 'Look' and had a representation of the eye defect. There are pictures of Kate holding said poster up, and Gerry wearing a T-shirt with it on, so it's not as though it was done without their knowledge. There were so many 'Look' posters around, that it seems a little silly to pretend that they never made much of it, why not just say they regretted this?

Perhaps that was because people were out searching till 4.30 in the morning? Silly people, going to rest before they started again the next day and for weeks after that.

Because they had other priorities to think about like telephoning the world's media. Besides Kate Mccann was rather busy perfecting the art of head banging.

Ironically Kate Mccann is still banging on about open shutters and windows in her book titled Madeleine. You'd think that four years down the line she would realise that is no longer an option, in fact the assertion was ruled out within minutes of it being spoken in the first place. Makes you think that maybe this book is the ultimate plea bargain, the plea of diminished responsibilty. Meanwhile back at the search.

A snip from the quote,

' having barely left the Ocean Club complex all week '

Having barely left, that to me means they did but maybe only once or twice. Why didn't she say 'not having left the Ocean Club complex all week. Barely leaving means that you have but not regularly.

But what else does that statement say? Apartment 5a is situated in a residential area and surrounded by the usual tourist attractions, it is not contained within a secure complex so how far afield does Kate Mccann think the complex stretches? I believe they regularly went jogging so where did they jog off to - mention was made of a jog up to Rocha Negras wasn't it, or was that very soon after Madeleine disappeared?

Poor little girl - she was nothing in her mum's eyes when alive, and even when missing (as in death) her mum still cannot honor her.

Their friends went off -site more often. They however could not really be seen around and about such a small place...had to stay within confines of OC or Gerry might have been recognised on his walkabout late evening 3rd May ? [ I am convinced what happened to Maddie happened earlier in the week].


re- the book title, it struck me when I read it, too. Who advised on the front cover I wonder? Maybe suggested that small case would suit the tale of a small girl, I think if that was the case it should have been rejected. The title suggests the child is the focus of the book, so if any name was to have a capital , it should have been Maddie's.

Or maybe it was so that well -read folk would think of the madeleine in Proust's novel, with all its suggestion of recall and the past.[ that was tongue in cheek btw ]
