Damned McCanns

[moorfield]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7068760.stmI personally think they are guilty as sin.

Maybe not them but I think the "Tapas 7" are hiding something.

It adds a lot.

Firstly, who knew that there would be no parental/adult supervision of the children?

How do you know they knew? Who's to say it wasn't someone walking by. Who's to say it hadn't been scouted. Both are possible. As I said, the only person who knows is the person who did it. Until then the question serves no purpose.

[SallyAnne]

The fact that they hadn't showed any emotion.

In public, no. In private - who knows?

...and like I said, people base it on what they see. All I'm doing it explaining why people are feeling the way they are. Why are you taking it so personally? Human nature is what it is - it isn't wrong!!

The fact that they were playing tennis 2 days after she vanished.

Actually - Gerry played tennis, allegedly (According to one waiter). And not 2 days after either.

What makes your information more reliable than mine like? I've read/heard mroe than one tale of both of them playign tenis, together, accounted by various mambers of the hotel staff (not the restaraunt staff).

The fact that they still put their twins in daycare (with strangers ffs!) from day 2.

Can't verify this one anywhere. But even if it's true, what it's supposed to signify - they must be guilty?

We saw them doing it, every day on the news. Cameras walked them in, then walked them out. Every single day, from the start of the ordeal.

The fact that they chose to leave their twins to go off round the world, even to see the pope, where it was clear that the twins would be made very welcome.

You've never travelled with kids then obviously. If the agenda is to get publicity for Madelaine, as it clearly was then dragging your kids around with you might not be the easiest or best thing to do.

Why would you assume I hadn't travelled with children?!
Again I'm explaining to you why people are feeling the way they are. if you had one child taken, you'd freely leave your others with strangers, to make your 1st class private jet trips around the world easier? Oh come on.

The fact that Kate washed her childs toy.

Again, what's this supposed to signify - some sign of guilt? My wife washes stuff up all the time, I better start getting worried?

Every single mother I've talked to about this has flagged this one up as being the most bizarre thing they've ever heard. That toy would have smelt of Maddeliene - why would she wash it? It just looks suspiscious. Surely if your child died/was snatched you'd want to be able to smell them? Again human nature would cling on to stuff like that. If my other half died, I wouldn't wash his shirts that were lying around on the floor! I'd hug them, smell them, cling to them for dear life!

The fact that they didn't irrationally want to kill Murat.

How do you know they didn't? He's a suspect that's all. They're two doctors, presumably clever people, they're not going to say anything about a suspect until a conviction.

This was based on the press conferece I saw them give 2 hours after Murat was officially named.

The fact that they didn't want to kill each other!! Or the managers at the complex! or their friends - how did they not kill their friend who checked on Maddy last ffs?!!

Again how do you know they didn't?

Again, just explaining why peopel are havign feelings based on WHAT THEY ARE SEEING.

And yes, the main thing that doesn't compute with people...the fact that neither of them have had a meltdown!!! You have kids? Would you be playing tennis? Would you and your wife not be a hysterical mess on the floor?!!

People just dont get this behaviour!


Yes I'd be a mess. Yes my wife would be a mess. And yes, eventually I'd try to do stuff that took my mind off it, for me that would be physical exercise of some sort. And equally I think I'd be more similar to Gerry in thinking I had to be strong and take control and care of things, especially in public - would that mean I'd be guilty too?

No it wouldn't mean you'd be guilty. Much like I ended my post saying "of course this doesn't mean they did it", which you didn't choose to quote me on.
My whole post was meant to show you why people are feelinG the way they are.


One question Snaw - Are you sayin that you dont think any of their behaviour is in the slighest bit suspiscious?

[Churchill]

How do you know they knew? Who's to say it wasn't someone walking by. Who's to say it hadn't been scouted. Both are possible. As I said, the only person who knows is the person who did it. Until then the question serves no purpose.

I disagree. The question is pertinent and fundemental to the case.

But hey, who am I to argue with an arrogant Scot with his head so far up his own anal tract?

Maybe snaw is in on it? Where were you on the evening of Thursday, 3 May 2007? Eh? Eh?

[snaw]

I disagree. The question is pertinent and fundemental to the case.

It may be pertinent but as I said you've got absolutly no way of knowing barring asking the person who did it, so right now it serves no purpose.

Arrogant Scot eh? Ironic coming from a guy who continually displays his disdain for people north of the border.

[Churchill]

Only certain Scots, as I've said before, Fleming was a good guy.

[shaunbhoy]

Only certain Scots, as I've said before, Fleming was a good guy.

And doubtless a Mason!

[WotNxt]

I can't see any problem with the McCanns using the fund to pay their essential costs to enable them to continue the fight to get Maddy back.

This is pure sensationalism by the press.

They could perhaps mitigate criticism by only paying the mortgage interest after arranging with the lender to stop repaying the capital (assuming a capital and interest arrangement).

However, I think they have more on their minds than keeping a few pre-judgmental idiots like some of you lot happy about finances - they really would like to get their daughter back and, failing that, at least find out what happened to her.

[Bagpuss]

Well, you know the saying about trusting your gut instinct...it's usually right.

Hardly judicial I know, but then again instinct is a good counter-balance to rational judgement and a valid tool in the investigative process.
