"My consolation is that on the cover he calls her Maddie, the name that the media have invented. We never called her anything like that."

Kate McCann

"Maybe because they're growing. They express themselves better. When they see Madeleine's cat, they say 'Maddie'. When they see her bag, as well."

Gerry McCann

"Today we think that if Maddie had been taken or killed quickly, there would have been evidence [of this]."

Can you remember where the WCs were situated in the bar, Sadie? I only ask because of Rasta Man being seen in there by Jez, yet not one of the waiters/kitchen staff on duty that night who were asked by the PJ reported seeing him.

There's a building on the left when entering the complex which looks like a toilet block, but I don't know for sure that it is. Of course Wilkins' statements changed like all the others. Initially they met in the restaurant, then he didn't go into the restaurant and so on;

He told us that yesterday, between 8.30 and 9pm, while he was in the "TAPAS" restaurant, he noted that a person of around 1.70m, with long blond hair, apparently of the "Rasta," style and dressed in green military-style clothes, entered the restaurant. (4/5)

I left about 8:15 to 8:30 pm. I was pushing the pram around the complex and went to the toilet near the bar. I could not see inside the restaurant. (7/5)

He walked around the main area of the resort and eventually ended up in the Tapas bar where he used the toilet facility. (Rogatory)

How very dare they NOT mention their visits to the loo?  Does that invalidate the statements?



Come on Gunit / Slarti, please be realistic.  Never will every detail be remembered and recorded.

Much was made of the Paynes always being late. Much was made of Matthew going to get them at 9pm on 3rd. He, however, says in his first statement that they arrived before he went to check. So does Russell. So did Dianne and Fiona in their first statements.

What a fuss about this Maddy,  Maddie or Madeleine business.     Madeleine as the McCann's said liked to be called Madeleine,   this doesn't mean she wasn't also called Maddy or what ever.    Madeleine was three years old when she was saying this 'Madeleine with three e's'   obviously learning to spell her name and wanting to be called Madeleine.   It could have been something that they made a conscious act  of calling her after she said this.

What difference does it make anyway?   Does this have any bearing in the disappearance of Madeleine,   or are some going to say it was a Madeleine that disappeared not a Maddy?????

I too am struggling to see what this proves.  IIRC it was Madeleine who decided she didn't like being called Maddie but on the occasions Pathfinder highlights - she wasn't even two years old at the time - so not old enough yet to have an opinion on it IMO. 

An example of Nitpicking on a grand scale IMO.

'Kate returned through the reception area standing at the end of the path near the stones, and yelled over towards our table in the Tapas bar I cannot recall exactly what she yelled but it was along the lines of Maddy is missing. We all got up immediately except Dianne who remained at the table.'

What is causing you to roll about the floor with mirth here?

I'm as surprised as you are Alfred. I must have done it by accident; it wasn't done on purpose.

Is this to be whatever it is?  Madeleine or Maddy.  I bet The McCanns wouldn't half have bumped her off for the sake of a name.

She shouldn't lie about it and say that name was invented by the media then should she? Not very reliable in my book.

So that makes her guilty?

I have a Si and a Ju and a Dom,  none of my choosing.  I always call them by their right names.  But Madeleine isn't all that difficult when compacted.
Julian could be more difficult.

The problem is, the world doesn't care if she was known as Maddie or Madeleine, it doesn't matter. So why say it does when there are multiple examples of both?

Perhaps then you could supply some of the many verbatim quotes of the McCanns referring to her as Maddie?
