Private Agencies Employed By McCanns

[Eleanor]

In the case of Sophie Hook the children stayed asleep while the abduction took place but did they wake after she was discovered missing ? The McCann twins didn’t.

In the Bamber case all the the inhabitants of the house were killed so we have no idea if one twin watched the other being shot or not.

I don't want to think about that.

I don't want to think about that.

Indeed.

[Eleanor]

Indeed.

Sometime it is all that we can do, albeit for different reasons.

An abductor sedating one child to abduct it would be easy to explain away. To take the time to sedate the three, even though the twins were not being targeted for abduction, not so much.

It wouldn’t be for the McCanns to explain it, it would be for the police.  All three kids could, for example, have been sedated at teatime by a member of staff.

[Venturi Swirl]

Explain to me how Madeleine was abducted, even though her grandmother said that she would scream merry hell if lifted by a stranger?

How do you think any child is abducted?  Do they all scream merry hell when abducted , or was this a particular attribute of Madeleine’s?  Just because her grandma thinks that’s how she would behave doesn’t mean it would have happened that way.

[Venturi Swirl]

It needs to keep the twins in a deep sleep. Deep enough to suggest to their mother that she needs to check that they are breathing.

In my opinion any such substance would need to be injected or given orally.

Such as?

Did Alesha McPhail know her abductor? Probably as where she was holidaying was a close knit community. Does this explain the ease by which she was abducted, perhaps ? Or as you say, he simply covered her mouth.

And I can perhaps believe that one child may have stayed asleep but all three ? Really ?

There is no evidence that Alesha McPhail had ever met her killer before and even if she had once clapped eyes on him, so what?  Children of 3 or 4 are not as wary of strangers as they should be, I don’t think recognising or not recognising an intruder in the bedroom has that much of a bearing on the child’s immediate behaviour.

Sounds like an argument in favour of using a babysitter.

I have never argued against it.

In her own home with her father and grand parents present?  You need to think about what you say.
Your comment is disgusting.

You missed the relevance entirely.

Please keep the insults to yourself.

TY.

Alesha may well have seen her murderer. He did come into contact with the family (dads side) as drugs were bought and sold apparently.  The b@stard is seeking to have his sentence reduced due to his 'young age' when commiting the crime. Innit great having legal aid?

Edit: changed name from April to Alesha. I was discussing April earlier on another blog.


Thanks VS for noticing that.

Her name was Alesha.
