Madeleine Mccann book

[TykeMerc]

Irrespective of child care issues, why write a book about it?

If it was me in this invidious situation, I certainly wouldn't want to write and sell a book about it, I'd rather deal with it and take my punishment in the afterlife...

Simple motivation for that, books that sell well make a lot of cash.

I agree writing a book or even helping a book to be written isn't something I'd do as her parent, it's very odd behaviour.

The book is mostly a publication of Kate's diary she has been keeping since the event, so not much effort needed to get the book together. Besides the find madeleine fund was close to running dry so it helps keep the search going.


I'm not sure who is really interested in purchasing it though as 99% of the 'story' has been well publicised since the event. Maybe those that find it fascinating to read about the lives of Jordan and all those other people in the public eye that otherwise have little to interest people will enjoy reading about how Kate couldn't have marital relations with Gerry.

Yet it has been confirmed by eyes on the physical book that the actual phrase is present on page 129 as I reported.

Apologies for the way I reacted to your initial comment on the thread. I had thought that you were trolling and perpetuating Internet myth. I was wrong.

No need to apologise. At one point I was worried I had been suckered (and almost banned for) into perpetuating an internet myth!

Why is it odd?

The Madeline fund has run out of money. She wrote the book to generate more cash so they could continue to pay private investigators to follow up leads that no-one else is doing.

Not odd at all.

Loads of conspiracy theorists looking for inconsistencies?

It's odd cos the trail is stone dead, finding anything now is extremely unlikely.

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, sheer fear gripped me at the thought of it, even now my youngest is 10 and with four older siblings to cope with, common-sense personified I won't leave her on her own.

I still don't understand why these people did this. Now I can feel it's their/her guilt, but writing a book is shocking to me, a bit like Ryan Giggs writing about his super-injuction horror, it's not right.

Something still very fishy about this whole thing....

You are incorrect about the cold trail.

There have been 100s of possible sightings. The Portuguese closed the case and as it's not a UK case the UK police have also not followed anything up. Everytime you see one of those sensationalist 'Madeline spotted' reports in the paper it's the Mccanns who follow it up, not the
police.

That's why they petitioned Cameron to review the case. The UK police are now looking at the evidence from Portugal to see what mistakes were made and make recommendations. But they are not following leads up as Mr Fitz so got on his high horse last month(I'd love to know the reply he got from the Prime Ministers office). So the Mccanns need money to follow the leads and keep the pressure on.

The trail may have gone cold, but drowning men clutch at straws and all that. Until it has been unequivocally proven that she is dead they will continue to look. Doing that effectively takes cash,and the more of it you have the more searching you can do. Seems to me that is justification enough for the book.

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.
