In view of the fact that SeamusO'Riley's site recently crashed, it seems a good idea to have a look at this long post of Stewie in Forensic Linguistics.
Thanks Stewie! All those references too.

It does help to watch them in videos just to see how verbally inarticulate they become considering they are doctors with lots of big sighs tuts, you know's err's and ermms. They can barely string a sentence togeather and it is fun to see how statements change from day one with the smashed shutters door hanging off told to all their relatives to open shutters and curtains blowing and unlocked patio dooors as the abduction could't have happened else.
thanks again peter for giving this your time and consideration you have a lot of people awaiting your comments with great interest. all wnating justice for a little girl neglected by her parents

Hello Peter, Although Wiki give a summary you have to read the files to understand the case and the discrepancy or to put it bluntly the lies involved.
To give you an example.
The SMITH sighting....would have been perfect for the McCanns, it would have cleared them.
Here we have a family who told Police they saw a man with Madeleine at the very moment it was claimed she was abducted...just before 10pm May 3rd. A child with bare feet wearing pink pyjamas.
NOW this is very important...Gerry McCanns blog 37 days after Madeleine disappeared June 11th 2007
Read this...
After returning from the beach we did the Irish version of Crimewatch-‘Crimecall’. There are a lot of Irish tourists in and around Praia da Luz and although the awareness of Madeleine’s disappearance in Ireland is extremely high, we want to ensure that everyone is aware of the appeal and we want the Irish public to come forward with photographs of people who they do not know who were in and around Praia da Luz in the 2 weeks leading up to the 3rd May. The address to upload photographs is: to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . We have also asked for people to contact their local police if they have seen a man matching the description of the suspect carrying a child seen around the time of Madeleine’s abduction. He is 30-40 years, 1.70-1.80m (5’7”-11”), caucasian and was wearing a dark jacket, beige or mustard coloured trousers with dark shoes. No major news on the investigation front- we still believe it is just a single phone call away.
---------------------------
UNKNOWN to Gerry Mccann the SMITHS had already returned to Portugal and given their witness statements in secret back in May.
VERY IMPORTANT the SMITH family are IRISH.
Martin Smith on seeing Gerry McCann arrive back in England and leaving the plane had the shock of his life...HE is 80% sure the man he saw that night was none other than GERRY MCCANN.
He phoned the police to give this information.
The SMITH sighting can be found in the POLICE FILES.

It also seems strange when she said -They-ve taken her- WHO did she mean , she has TWO daughters and yet everyone knew immediately she meant Madeleine. The simulated abduction was planned from the moment Madeleine was found dead in the apartment.
Take a look also at the Gaspar statements. Two Doctors who were on intimate relations with the Mccanns.
This evidence was held back from the investigation by Leicestershire Police for SIX months...it has been suggested there was paedophilia in the group, after reading this statement I also have a BAD feeling about what happened to Madeleine.
This case NEEDS to be re/opened by the Portugues police and this group of DOCTORS made to speak up...There are SEVEN other children who may be at risk.
The Statement that could help the inquiry and crack this case wide open.

Peter, please read the SMITH sighting and understand this could have cleared the McCanns AND yet the Mccanns will not go near it.
Brian Kennedy the McCanns backer has meddled with witnesses , Mr Smith is one of them also Robert Murat, Paul Gordon, Jeremy Wilkins ALL have complained to the police about the pressure they have been under from TEAM MCCANN.
Complaints made to LEICESTSHIRE POLICE about Brian Kennedy and his contacting witnesses and yes their fear, have been made...People ARE afraid of the McCanns.
Leicestershire Police have REFUSED to investigate these complaints. They are not interested.
No one should under estimate how CLEVER Dr.Gerald McCann thinks he is.
The ONLY reason for McCann not to want to meet with Martin Smith and his family is because face to face Martin Smith may well say to McCann it was you I saw that night.
Would Gerry McCann himself walk through the streets with a sedated child dressed in Madeleines pyjamas to create a simulated abduction...he needed witnesses his word alone would not be enough.
Sound far fetched? then you do not know Gerry McCann.

Please be sure to watch Kate explaining the small window of opportunity in which to take Madeleine - the "whoosh cluck" video.
Another point to consider is how the Portuguese police begged Gerry not to mention Madeleine's eye defect to the public, as it could sign her death warrant. Gerry went ahead anyway, saying "We knew the abductor could do something to her eye but it was a good marketing ploy"
Last but certainly not least, Gerry's comment:“We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing...I think it would be later this year...it wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that"
Apparently Gerry knew his daughter would still be missing in a year!

Video of Kate McCann and the window of opportunity
Thu Sep 02, 04:47:00 AM EDT
Anonymous said...
Gerry McCann has always denied sedating the children, something made him change his mind.
Fiona Payne one of the group said in her police witness statement, she found something ODD. Kate kept putting her hands in front of the twins faces to check if they were breathing the night May 3rd after Madeleines disappearance.
The McCanns had no idea the police files would be made available to the public. The Mccanns have read the files and must have been shocked to see Fiona had made this comment in her statement..
Later Gerry changes his mind and now suggests the twins WERE sedated but not by him but by the 'abductor'
As already mentioned Gerry thinks he is SO smart he can walk on water.

As soon as the excellent blood and cadaver dogs alerted to a death in the McCanns holiday apartment the case should have been regarded as a murder investigation, and not brushed under the carpet as a possible accident.
Maybe then there would have been more cooperation from the McCanns and their friends on holiday with them. Who can believe that Kate McCann refused to answer over forty questions regarding the disappearance of her daughter! Also they refused to return for a reconstruction of that night.
More so it should be a murder investigation because of the statements made by the former friends of the McCanns who had previously been on a holiday with them. They had been so concerned when Madeleine went missing they had to go report their concern to the police about possible paedophile involvement because of what they had seen and heard on that former holiday.
The 'Gaspar statements' have so far been kept under wraps by the McCanns, yet they are available to read on the internet should anybody wish to do so.

David Payne is a doctor who was on that famous holiday in Portugal. He is suspected of pedophilia from one friend of the McCann's. Friends name is Katherine.
Here is David Payne describing Madeleine: Extract from David Payne's rogatory statement to Leicestershire Police on 10 April 2008
24 April 2009
"Mmm..., errr... Madeleine's, errr... a very striking, errr... beautiful child, I'd almost - if I want a better phrase - call her doll-like, you know. She was very, you know, I think, you know, very unique looking child, errr...
she'd got very pretty, you know, blonde hair, errr... in a bob, she was quite a petite, errr... child and, you know, she was very bubbly, very, errr... you know, she was a very good child to, to interact with.
She was very bright, you could have a lot of fun with Madeleine, errr... and, you know, she, she was, you know, Kate and Gerry's, you know, pride and joy. They'd had a lot of trouble conceiving, you know, with IVF and everything and, you know, Madeleine was their miracle.
She was obviously very unique with the fact that she'd got the, you know, the iris defect, errr... but, you know, she was certainly a happy go lucky child, you know, she was, she would interact with the other children very well, as I said on the other, earlier recording, you know, she played very happily with Lily and, you know, indeed the other children. She was, you know, very... she is a very beautiful child and good fun."
(...)
"You know, I, you know, a fact I've come across already you know, she was a... she's a very bright child, you know, she wouldn't be the kind of mischievous child who, you know, and just try and get out of the flat and, you know, get up to mischief and that, you know, there's fun in all children but she certainly wasn't that kind of child. She was very bright."

Hi Peter
I think with their TV interviews they stick to the script they´ve worked out and like the Knox´s won´t be interviewed by anyone with tough questions. They´ll accept the ´neglect´ questions cos that´s their alibi. However their statements to the police and the statements of their friends and family have been contradictory. Gerry has made some statements that seem to have embedded confessions in them, notoriously the challenge to the Portugues police ´Prove I killed her´. On another occasion he said ´it was terrible when we found her´ I think he then managed to add ´missing´! Surely the statement should be it was terrible when we couldn´t find her!I´ve always found it strange how the ´guilt´ and being unable to sleep well only lasted a couple of days. They don´t ever really answer the questions put to them, remind me of politicians!
There´s no doubt that some of their friends lied and that they were all in the appartment for more than an hour before police were called. Some of that time was spent writing a list of who checked the children at what time (alibi building or just defending themselves from allegations of neglect?)- on the back ripped off of one of Madeleine´s books. I think they knew she wasn´t coming back, ugh. I believe the friends were involved in the cover up and inventing a sighting of the ´abductor´ 24 hours later. There´s no evidence she was abducted.
Why would they all cover up a murder or an accidental death? And why was Gordon Brown involved in pressuring the Portugese authorities to have the case dropped? Since when does the prime minister involve himself with missing children - and send a provate plane to get the parents safely home so they don´t get arrested?
The David Payne statement is all past tense.

Missing ... British toddler Madeleine McCann. Source: The Daily Telegraph
THE parents of missing Madeleine McCann have welcomed new information that suggests their daughter may be in the United States. "
This morning's news was bitter/sweet. No matter what they find, and hopefully it will be Madeleine, her little life has been impacted by a, in my view, selfish decision by her parents.

Hi Peter,
Anon at 11:48 said:
"On another occasion he said ´it was terrible when we found her´ I think he then managed to add ´missing!'"
This made me wonder... if you received this, transcribed without a pause, to read "it was terrible when we found her missing", or "it was terrible, when we found her missing"... would you still flag it as sensitive, or deceptive, since one cannot find what they are missing?
It also made me wonder how often you refer to video or audio, when available to see if there is verbal punctuation that didn't translate. Do you take that into account?
Thank you in advance, and thank you for such a neat blog!

She was very bright."

Jann,
thanks for the post.
I haven't studied this case and I know that people feel passionate about it.
My free time for reading is limited and I am just beginning the Knox case, but will eventually get to this one, too.
thanks,

Hi Peter
I think with their TV interviews they stick to the script they´ve worked out and like the Knox´s won´t be interviewed by anyone with tough questions. They´ll accept the ´neglect´ questions cos that´s their alibi. However their statements to the police and the statements of their friends and family have been contradictory. Gerry has made some statements that seem to have embedded confessions in them, notoriously the challenge to the Portugues police ´Prove I killed her´. On another occasion he said ´it was terrible when we found her´ I think he then managed to add ´missing´! Surely the statement should be it was terrible when we couldn´t find her!I´ve always found it strange how the ´guilt´ and being unable to sleep well only lasted a couple of days. They don´t ever really answer the questions put to them, remind me of politicians!
There´s no doubt that some of their friends lied and that they were all in the appartment for more than an hour before police were called. Some of that time was spent writing a list of who checked the children at what time (alibi building or just defending themselves from allegations of neglect?)- on the back ripped off of one of Madeleine´s books. I think they knew she wasn´t coming back, ugh. I believe the friends were involved in the cover up and inventing a sighting of the ´abductor´ 24 hours later. There´s no evidence she was abducted.
Why would they all cover up a murder or an accidental death? And why was Gordon Brown involved in pressuring the Portugese authorities to have the case dropped? Since when does the prime minister involve himself with missing children - and send a provate plane to get the parents safely home so they don´t get arrested?
The David Payne statement is all past tense.

"Missing Madeleine McCann in US: investigator

Madeleine McCann
Missing ... British toddler Madeleine McCann. Source: The Daily Telegraph
THE parents of missing Madeleine McCann have welcomed new information that suggests their daughter may be in the United States. "
This morning's news was bitter/sweet. No matter what they find, and hopefully it will be Madeleine, her little life has been impacted by a, in my view, selfish decision by her parents.

This made me wonder... if you received this, transcribed without a pause, to read "it was terrible when we found her missing", or "it was terrible, when we found her missing"... would you still flag it as sensitive, or deceptive, since one cannot find what they are missing?
It also made me wonder how often you refer to video or audio, when available to see if there is verbal punctuation that didn't translate. Do you take that into account?
Thank you in advance, and thank you for such a neat blog!

Mrs. Fenn's witness statement ? ..
Good morning. Have been away for a while - but coming back am interested to know more about Mrs. Fenn's original witness statement. Grateful for a link. Reason for asking is that on another site it was suggested that she later denied or withdrew her alleged statement of hearing Madeleine cry on the night of the 2nd for 75 minutes - saying instead that she had heard nothing.
Apologies for no ref. but it was a link from here that I followed. Interested to know more if possible. I have always taken Mrs. Fenn's statement as crucial.

Hi Searcher, here is the link [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I am probably in a minority but I attached very little credibility to the statements of Mrs Fenn or her niece Carole Tramner
The McCanns say that Madeleine was last seen alive on the evening of May 3rd but what evidence do we have that Madeleine was actually seen or heard by an independent person during that holiday at all?
Mrs Fenn was an elderly lady, allegedly a friend of the Murats. She claimed that she had heard a child cry for over 75 minutes, she also claimed that she had seen off a burglar who had entered her flat, allegedly catching him by the foot as he departed via her window. To me, it seems that all she has done here is back up the McCanns claim that the children were left alone and that there were burglars operating in the area.
The McCanns claimed to be checking every 30 minutes. Were they being completely honest about this or did Mrs Fenn exaggerate her 75 minutes? Are we to believe that an elderly lady in her eighties, saw off a burglar single handed? The Policia Judiciari say that there were no reports of any burglaries in that period.
Mrs Fenn has 3 sons. Ian Fenn who now owns the apartment is said to be a marketing manager for a london company. The only one that I can find is Chopstix Media who has worked closely with the BBC and Virgin Media.
Carole Tranmer was in Portugal for the week, allegedly looking for property. She claims to have visited her aunty (Mrs Fenn) twice during that week. During her visit she backs up the McCanns claim that someone was watching the apartment by saying that from the balcony above she observed a man acting strangely around the apartments, (allegedly trying a gate to see if he could close it quietly), her description of this man matched the one given on the McCann website. (If she did not know the tapas 9 how could know that it was not one of them?)
Carole flew home before hearing about Madeleines disappearance but went to the police later, offering a photograph of herself on her aunts balcony as evidence that she was there.
Did Mrs Fenn really hear Madeleine cry or did she have a small part to play in convincing us that Madeleine was around at that particular time?

Apart from Mrs Fenn and her niece there was:
Phill Edmonds who claims to have photographed Madeleine in the playground, he turned out to be the nephew of Margaret Hodge and co-director of her Stemcor Company. When asked about the photographs he failed to produce them even though it would have been in the McCanns favour for him to do so.
The staff at the creche. According to one news article, the four nannies were in some way linked to members of the Tapas group. All four were despatched for employment at a MW resort in Greece shortly after Madeleine was reported missing and they had been interviewed. Why?
There were some contradictions in the statements of the nannies too.
Cat Baker claims to have met Kate on the morning of Apr 29th when Madeleine 1st enrolled and she was allocated to her lobster group, this was normal practice for the creche, but Kate claims that she had been introduced to the nanny who had been allocated to Madeleine on the evening of 28th (even though they claim to have not gone out), how did they know at that time which nanny would have taken charge of Madeleine? Kate said that she warmed to Cat immediately.
The staff at the Millenium restaurant on the morning of Apr 29th remember the twins but cannot recall seeing Madeleine, although she may have been there.
Is there anyone else who has claimed to have seen Madeleine during that week?

Re: More statement analysis
Thankyou Sharoni; the statement on the link is helpful, and the one I have read many times before. I am interested to know if Mrs. Fenn retracted or changed this statement sometime after, as suggested on another site.sharonl wrote:Searcher wrote:Good morning.

I can't see how or why Mrs. Fenn would make a false statement, although I do have some confusion over whether the crying happened on the night of the 1st or the 2nd. Statement says the 1st; yet I think from memory KM talks of Madeleine saying on the morning of the 3rd at breakfast "Why didnt you come last night when Sean and I were crying?" I may have this completely wrong in terms of the date.
What always seems unclear is who saw the real Madeleine and when, throughout the holiday period and not just on the 2nd or 3rd. Still so many unanswered questions!

Re: More statement analysis
Mrs. Fenn stated that she heard an older child (older than 2) crying on the evening of May the 1st.
On the CMTV, Amaral told that she saw Payne on the patio at 7pm. I never saw a statement where she was telling she saw Payne. It is very well possible that the PJ did not release everything that she said and even possible that she stated more than once.

Re: More statement analysis
Hi Searcher, as far as I'm aware Mrs Fenn only made the one statement. I haven't come across any reference to a second one. Maybe the confusion comes from this video of Mrs Fenn dismissing the 'rubbish' reported in the press. The Daily Mail then reported more rubbish by claiming she was referring to her police statement and the crying incident. She clearly wasn't.Searcher wrote:Good morning.

Last night the McCanns got a boost when the police case appeared to be undermined by a pensioner who is potentially a key witness.
Pamela Fenn, 81, lives above the apartment where Madeleine disappeared and is reported to have told police she heard Madeleine screaming below.
But yesterday she broke her silence to say it was "absolute rubbish" she had made any such claims to police. Mrs Fenn said: "I didn't even know that family was in there."

Re: More statement analysis
Sean was older than two and quite big for his age, compared to his twin sister. It's quite amazing how loud children can cry.
I think it was Sean because the narrative started with that: Why didn't you come when Sean was crying? iirc.
The McCanns were very anxious that the police should know about the crying. As from the 4th of May!

Hello Tigger; thankyou. I don't have the ref. to hand but from memory Madeleine was quoted in KM's book as saying on the following morning (2nd or 3rd??) "Whey didn't you come when Sean and I were crying?". Interested if anyone has better references and more accuracy.

Good memory searcher.
At breakfast time, Madeleine had a question for us. 'Why didn't you come when Sean and I cried last night?'

Could it be that something had happened to Madeleine that night, and that's why one of the twins was crying and calling her name. Is this why Kate said that Madeleine was never referred to as Maddie, and then when on to try and convince us that Madeleine was alive on the morning of the 3rd of May by stating that Madeleine asked why she (Kate) didn't come when her and Sean were crying on the night of 2 May?

Re: More statement analysis
When I was watching the recent crimewatch appeal I was thinking why would you want to emphasise the fact that your children cried for you the night before, yet you still went out the following night and left them alone again? The only explanation I could think for them mentioning is this is to purport that all was well on the 3rd May when it wasn't well at all. Just my opinions.sallypelt wrote:MissDaisy wrote:I think it was Sean crying Maddie, Maddie, which would explain why they were so keen to claim she was never called Maddie.

Re: More statement analysis
From the topic: 75 minutes of crying which also has the full Dr.Roberts article in it.
Kate and Gerry's phone activity on that day.
Gerry had none at all. But Kate's mobile use is interesting. Remember the crying began at around 20.30 - which could also be right after the last call.
Lasted until 23.45.
Between 20.31 and 20.37 Kate has four phone calls in rapid succession.
Between 22.16 and 22.27 Kate has six phonecalls in very rapid succession. It has been stated elsewhere that she was in the apartment 5a during the last six calls.

However, the likes of wee Gerry have no compunction about lying to gain an edge but if they tell outright lies which can be resoundingly disproved, they know they may find themselves bang to rights with no door marked exit.
For this reason, the ginger laddie from Glasgae goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure he can't be caught out in the type lie that will give him no wriggle room and no hiding place should the truth emerge.
This, in turn, encourages his self-belief that he's the most intelligent being on the planet when, in fact, his IQ is no more than average but, from an early age, he learned to fill in the gaps left by his intellectual inadequacies by using cunning to manipulate situations to his advantage.
