Madeleine Mccann book

[mudskipper]

Yes probably, though there are whole internet sites and forums built around the inconsistencies and curious facts (such as the shutters not having been jemmied or anyone having disturbed the lichen on the window sill, leading the McCanns to say the open window must have been a red herring from the abductor ) highlighted in the released official portugese files.

It's very intriguing seeing all the evidence and statements, which upon analysis makes it hard to then still believe the abduction theory as presented, yet the McCanns are still very much behaving as if that is the truth. Maybe it is maybe it isn't. A puzzle it appears only a select few will ever really know the answer to.

If I'd done in my kid and got away with it, I think I would keep my head down and keep out the limelight as much as possible. I certainly wouldn't be encouraging people to keep thinking about it.

You are incorrect about the cold trail.

There have been 100s of possible sightings.

Yeh. But he works down the road in my chip shop.

When I 'became' a single father in 2003, left with five children aged 10 down to 2 I never left any one of them on their own,

I still don't understand why these people did this.

They wanted both kids, and their pre-kids social life.

Sensible parents like you accept their priorities change and move on, selfish parents don't.

Understandable, don't we all, they were on holiday, I thought when the story first broke.

Then I read they'd been doing that every night for the week, and she'd had several rounds of IVF. No sympathy after that.

Much easier to be judgemental on middle class parents. We expect that type of behaviour from working class don't we?

Whereas the truly posh get a nanny in when they are young and pack them off for months when they are older...

The problem is most parents wouldn't have left their kids alone over the course of the holiday in such a way and then appeared to be so uncooperative in the aftermath. So right from the start we have a group of people (not just the McCanns) who are behaving odd to most parents/people. So many subsequent actions also seem odd, possibly including the one you mention, if they are more involved in the disappearance than they admit.

Maybe it's this odd behaviour base line (possibly due to them being doctors so wired/trained to think/behave differently) that has allowed most of the public to fall into two very distinct camps or drift somewhere between. Those that believe the abduction theory and offer sympathy to the McCanns at varying degrees, to those that think they are involved in a cover up of the death of Madeleine.

It appears this thread is going the same way as many threads on many forums (there's one on a motoring forum I frequent that has grown to around 250 pages in the course of 8 months ) with people speculating and falling somewhere between those two camps I mention. Maybe we should move on to more typical debates such as what to have for lunch and leave the McCann discussion to more appropriate forums before the McCann legal team descend on CUK.

While the comment may sound brutal to the lay person she is speaking from a GP's viewpoint. Reconstructive surgery is rare but horribly something too common and people in her area of work have to deal with every so often.
