		<description>i recently wrote a short comment on friends reunited re, the mccann case and got a varied reaction but one thing i did notice was about 40% totally swallowed the story as related by kate and ,to a lesser extent(we know who wears the trousers)gerry.
i myself have never been guided by or believed the &quot;story&quot; and am absolutely that a few more are also on our wavelength.
if you would like to read the piece and the reaction ,good/bad it is on friends reunited over 60,s site

		<description>As two Doctors the McCann&#039;s earnings would have amounted to somewhere in the region of, lets say for arguments sake, 200K pa, if not more. Why if they both had professional jobs would they not hire a nanny to look after the children, unless they had something to hide?  Usually parents earning that amount of money have very stressful jobs, and three children would add to that stress. The usual excuse for not hiring a nanny is the parent/parents, as in the case of the Beckhams, want to do the parenting themselves. But, unlike the Beckhams who have the luxury of an entourage,  these two people had very full on careers too. It is also obvious from reading Mrs McCann&#039;s Diary and the book that  a) she was struggling to maintain a work like balance,  and b) that Madeleine was an active little girl.
 
Again, as Doctors these two people would have access a vast drugs cabinet. They also whilst struggling to cope with the children, (and who wouldn&#039;t with three children under four years old)  felt confident enough each night whilst on holiday to book a table for 8.30 pm and arrived,one assumes, most nights on time. How could they do that? How could they guarantee that all three children would be asleep by that time? As a parent myself I could not do that with one child, let alone three toddlers, and quite often have to leave invitations open ended on arrival times.
 
I believe on the night Madeleine went missing, she actually died of a drug overdose, administered by her parents to make her go to sleep, so they could go out to dinner with friends, either that same night or the night before,but unfortunately I think it resulted in the death of Madeleine.

Mrs McCann has said in a statement that she spent the night before madeleine died in the childrens bedroom because of a fight with her husband, but was it because Madeleine was ill, too ill to take to the hospital incase they where questioned and in the process died?

Failing that...

I believe that when the two women claimed they last went into the apartment together and witnessed all the children there, Madeleine was actually dead or in a coma, but Katie McCann did not realise. 
 
I believe that when Katie McCann went into the room alone on the final visit, it is only then she actually check properly on Madeleine and realised this was the case.
 
I believe the book and the diary has been written to throw people off their scent with suggestiveness, but more to persuade people that there was an abductor, when in fact there was not.  Also, Mrs. McCann herself actually suggests that the abductor came into the apartment on two consecutive nights and administered drugs to make the twins sleepy so enabling him to slip into the apartment without waking the youngest two children.  Did she do that just in case the police took specimens from the remaining children?
 
I believe that this is the reason the parents do not see themselves as wrong in leaving the children alone that night, and will not accept the blame, because the blame they do have resting on their shoulders is the result, rather than the cause of that neglect.
 
I believe that is why Mrs McCann deleted all the calls off her mobile phone the night Madeleine went missing, to delete especially the ones to her husband when she&#039;d found out what happened.
 
I believe that is why the police reported the apartment had been tampered with and forensics lost before they arrived, because on that night she tried in a frenzy to resuscitate the child.
 
I believe that is why the toy Madeleine carried every where, the little cat had been washed. To get rid of the forensics, a) to cover up that nights events, as Madeleine most probably was sick,  and also,  b) to stop any sniffer dogs finding her body from the scent
 
What I don&#039;t believe is, if you have a three year old little girl, who by your own admission is an active child, you would leave an apartment door open - I have an eight year old,  at the time this happened he was also three,  and under no circumstances would you do that. In fact for various reasons you just would not leave three children on their own in an apartment, unless of course you were absolutely sure they wouldn&#039;t wake up, and wander off in the time you were gone.
 
I don&#039;t believe that a mother who had just lost her child would have the vision nor willingness to pen a diary,  nor indeed the actually strength/imagination put a book together. Yet Katie McCann has managed to pen a book, get it published, and on the shelves. All in the name of finding Madeleine.
 
I don&#039;t believe also,  that any mother who had just lost her child would strap on her jogging shoes and go jogging a few days after with her husband, unless of course she needed to focus her mind., and lets face it her mind needed focusing because she was about to lose everything if she were found out.
 
Finally their appearance at the Leveson Enquiry.... and the outpouring of rage on twitter which is where I began to notice people like yourselves.   When you first look at that on face value one assumes, as a doubter, they are doing it for publicity and maybe even a handout of money. I don&#039;t think so,  I think they are doing this so the tabloids who carry news to the majority, the same majority Mrs McCann upholds that very prominent scouse accent for, and the same tabloids who, whilst being vile at the way the extract information, kept their story alive, have now served their purpose, and this couple would now like this story pushed under the carpet especially as the funds are running out, and they need to go back to the day job.
 
Anyway those are my thoughts - I apologise to anyone they have offended but thank you kindly if you have got to the bottom of this page

&lt;strong&gt;Site Admin:&lt;/strong&gt; In the 4 1/2 years since Madeleine disappeared, this site has received more than enough information that demonstrates Madeleine died in May 2007. Your comment is well put together and there is no need to apologise for possible offence. How can the truth be offensive?

Referring to your comment about their potential income, let&#039;s not forget that Kate had become work-shy after the birth of the children. She was only working a few days in Melton Mowbray and that would not have given her the maximum earnings she was capable of.

Our guess is that the McCanns were hard up because Gerry was having to compensate for Kate not working to her full potential. Add to that the high mortgage and car loans and you have a couple who were probably struggling to keep their heads above water. Their real income was probably closer to 100K than 200K.

We see these pseudo-middle-class people in many walks of life. They rise from a relatively poor working class background and then they quickly want the trappings of success for bragging rights within their circle of friends. Add a bit of name-dropping and you can see through their fake lives. Look at the way Kate referred to the Prime Minister and Cherie Blair. You&#039;d think she was their best friend with the way she talked about them on first name terms.

		<description>&quot;Be quiet my dear Madeleine, here&#039;s a little something to help you sleep. Trust me, it&#039;s the same medicine you&#039;ve had before - just a little larger to help you rest.
Sleep now, so that daddy and I can go off partying with friends.&quot;

...

&quot;Oh dear Madeleine, why won&#039;t you wake? I only drugged you slightly more than normal, the other kids are ok - why won&#039;t you wake?
Gerry, we have a problem. Madeleine won&#039;t wake.. we drugged her and left her, the authorities will know this if they find her. We need to protect ourselves and our other children.
How do we dispose of her....  ?
...............  well we did a good job of that, and the police suspected nothing (ed: but the rest of the world did). In fact, lets play it out a bit longer.. we can&#039;t bring Madeleine back, but we can certainly earn some cash and publicity in her name. Lets open a charity, well perhaps not a charity but a limited company, that way we can cream a good income from her murder.
Oh Gerry, what would I do without you!&quot;

-----

God rest little Madeleine. Thanks to your parents, we may never find you - their macabre secret wil remain with them to their grave.</description>

		<description>People in Liverpool  - Kate&#039;s so called &#039;home town&#039; [pass me the sick bag] know the truth. Those who live in the vicinity of Anfield - in particular a Monica Roberts and her crony Gaynor who lives tweo doors down from her - have inside knowledge of what happened to this little girl and have withheld evidence. but then what do you expect from people like that anyway, we all know what they are like in real life.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting reading all this but it isn&#039;t very smart people clamouring for them to take lie detector tests or answer questions.  The place for that is in court, on a murder charge.  For that to hold they will have to have a fair trial, with a jury that hasn&#039;t been influenced by potentially biased media or books, as any appeal lawyer would certainly argue. So it isn&#039;t necessarily a bad thing that the book is suppressed.  I would say there is far too much comment about how this little girl was left in the apartment and so on. There is no evidence for any of it. She wasn&#039;t seen alive after about 2.30pm.  That is all we know.  That, and the fact she&#039;s gone, and the fact that their stories conflict and are shot to pieces.  It won&#039;t progress until there is a body, which there will be I feel sure.  Usually in investigations of this nature the parents/husband/boyfriend are the key suspect.  What surprises me is that they seem to have been able to return to Portugal unshadowed and allowed the opportunity to move the body, when by the line of questionning they were already key suspects in the Portugese police&#039;s mind.  I thought at first this was just a sedation that went wrong, but looking at the behaviour and the involvement of the media in the immediate aftermath it all looks too pre-meditated for that to be possible.  I now don&#039;t believe anyone who had either had their daughter genuinely abducted or accidentally overdosed could have behaved in such a coherent and skilful manner.  In the face of severe emotional trauma like that it is very difficult to be collected. Hiring PR people would be the last thing to think of.  Unfortunately it now looks to me like it was probably planned and may have happened in the afternoon.  What we do know is that short of working in the police these two had the best skills to know how to disguise evidence and leave no clues behind.  They probably did a very good job, and the police on both sides might know this.  They aren&#039;t stupid as some of you imply.  But if the evidence is very well covered up, with the key piece, a body, missing, then I understand there is nothing more they can do but sit on what they have until the appropriate time when it goes to court.  Please don&#039;t clamour for evidence to be released before that if you want them eventually brought to justice.
Where could she be I wonder?
Lastly I did like the lady&#039;s suggestion that someone who donated to their fund should ask for the money back with a civil action.  Very clever.  Unfortunately it won&#039;t put them behind bars.</description>

		<description>So many questions - so many secrets - so many people who must know the truth ...

The Mccann&#039;s friends (couples) who shared holidays in Portugal all were doctors (father or mother or both).
All had little children, all left their children alone at night (no babysitter).

Could it be 
-- that they all gave sedativa to their babies at night while they met at the tapas restaurant?
-- that this is the reason why they all cannot admit the truth (that Maddie died because of -overdose- medication), because this could cause an enorm harm to their professional status as doctors (and parents)?

Reveal the conspiracy of silence - Ask the doctor-couples for the truth - they know much more than they admit!</description>

		<description>Hi Laura,
Dont forget we only have their word for the frequency and nature of the checks.  I think that there was a certain amount of creative accounting for movements and checking of the children done in hindsight.  It is pheasable therefore that noone may have clapped eyes on Maddie from the time she was put to bed.  I agree with the views of Pat Brown in her profile of the case, which was that the checks were far more sporadic and many were just listening ones therefore she could have met with an accident very early in the evening and was not discovered for several hours, because everything was quiet.  There would be a huge ammount of panic of individuals trying to account for their movements.  It is possible that the key players in this tragedy actually improved upon the extent of their checks when in fact all that they did was walk past the window of the appartment, but didnt hear any crying or noise in the appartment, but then driven by their own sense of guilt, needed to step up to the plate to give a more detailed account of themselves, but this was done after the event.</description>

		<description>Was wondering if someone could clear some confusion for me. If they hired the Renault Scenic three weeks after the 3rd May and the dogs then discovered those scents, would it not mean they would have to have had contact with a dead body during the time of hire? How, in all that media cirus and police doubt, could they have done that? Surely they would have been taking an impossible risk. It is the one thing that despite my suspicions of the abduction, that doesn&#039;t add up.

Maybe I&#039;ve missed something here but please clear this up for me</description>

		<description>I know that! I was just pointing out that washing a missing child&#039;s toy is not in itself evidence of a terrible, evil, unloving mother. I was sticking up for myself, not Kate McCann! :) 

Since I&#039;m here, could you clear up a question for me? I know the McCanns are hell bent on convincing everyone that Madeleine went missing in the space of five minutes between Gerry checking on the children and Jane Tanner seeing a man carrying a child. It seems to me that they are almost too determined to pin the time down to earlier in the evening, when in reality it could have been any time up to Kate finding her missing (assuming of course that Madeleine was actually abducted). I know Martin Smith and his family are convinced they saw Gerry carrying a child at about 9.55 p.m. Is it possible that Gerry McCann was NOT at the table at that time? Is there actually any independent evidence of his presence in the restaurant at that time, aside from what the Tapas 9 have said? And if people were coming and going all evening, would his absence necessarily be noted by the others anyway, provided he was back in time for the crucial and memorable return of Kate? I&#039;ve checked a few of the Tapas 9 statements, and they seem quite vague about who was where and when - maybe I just looked at the wrong ones. Can anyone enlighten me, please?</description>

		<description>My almost three year old has a cuddly dinosaur to whom he has been utterly devoted since he was four months old. It goes everywhere with him. I rarely manage to sneak it away from him to wash it. Frankly, it looks and smells utterly revolting most of the time. It doesn&#039;t smell of my son - it smells of soil, dirt, playdoh, several different dinners and occasionally vomit. If I lost my son, I wouldn&#039;t hesitate to wash his dinosaur. I have treasured memories of my son with his toy, but looking at it is what brings those memories back, not sniffing it. I agree it is suspicious that Kate McCann washed Cuddle Cat just before the dogs went out to Portugal, but not that a loving mother would never have washed her child&#039;s favourite toy - if you could smell Stinky Sid, I&#039;m sure you would understand!

&lt;strong&gt;Site Admin: &lt;/strong&gt;You make a good and valid point. However, the cadaver dog smelled the scent of death on the Cuddle Cat toy. Washing doesn&#039;t easily neutralise that odour.</description>
