If you say so.But according to Trish cameron Gerry's sister no less said he did.
Trish Cameron, Mr McCann’s sister, said she received a telephone call from her 39-year-old brother, a consultant cardiologist, who was "hysterical and crying his eyes out".
She said: "They had put the kids to bed at 7pm and checked on them every half an hour as they had dinner nearby with the rest of the party. Gerry said the window was open, the shutters broken and the door, which had been locked, hanging open.

Sceptics have quite often expressed disdain for cites from the print media in preference for the PJ files. Glad to see you are breaking the mould somewhat.
But again I think you are illustrating the sceptic incapability of understanding the sheer panic and despair of one of the most terrible happenings in anyone's life where the ground is cut from under the feet leaving one totally helpless.
SnipI remember hearing about Madeleines disappearance by phone on the night of 3rd May 2007.
... I was particularly tired that night and went to bed early.
I was woken by the phone ringing at about 23.30.
It was Gerry telling me that Madeleine had been taken.
He was very upset on the phone, it was the worst phone call I have had in my life.
...I remember asking him for contacts of people in Portugal so that we could call them.
Gerry was in no state to say much.
I tried to remain calm for him, I suggested that he contact the British Embassy and I remember him telling me that he had spoken to the local police but they were not taking the situation seriously.
I remember Gerry saying that they did not treat the matter with urgency and only stated that Madeleine must have left on her own and that she would be back later.
