I would point out that Kate McCann cancelled what would have been only her second interview with police on the 11th of May on the grounds of her 'wellbeing'
Actually it was Alan Pike who asked for Kate's interview to be postponed for a few days. She had sat in the waiting room for 8 hours waiting to be interviewed. She was then told to go home and come back the next day. Finally when Gerry returned he told her of what had happened during Mat Oldfield's interview.
I sat in the waiting area for eight hours before I was told that it was now too late for me to be interviewed and I should go home and come back the next day. Gerry was there for thirteen hours. When he finally returned to the apartment he related how Matt had been almost hysterical during his interview. Gerry had heard him shouting and crying. Apparently, it had been put to Matt that he’d handed Madeleine out through the window to a third party. It was like something out of Life on Mars. Alan Pike was concerned about my wellbeing and asked for my rescheduled interview to be postponed for a few days. The PJ couldn’t have considered it all that important: it was 6 September before I was interviewed again.

And you wonder why trust broke down between the Tapas members and the Police. I always thought the reason for people being made arguidos was so that the police could ask suspects questions that could incriminate them. Trying to get someone to confess to passing a child through a window is pretty incriminating to me.
After sitting there for 8 hours, then hearing that, it is enough to stress any person out.
So your proof is several self-serving passages from Kate's own book and of course she has never written a lie, has she ?
M'lud exhibit one for the prosecution, a passage from Madeleine by Kate McCann claiming cadaver scent lasts for no more than 30 days.
And the actual evidence is that there is no record of any further interview being done till September. But don't let that fact spoil your little dig will you.
The PJ were making a complete pigs ear of the case and the McCanns who were at the heart of it recognised that. UK journalists and former police who were in PDL also recognised the same facts about the incompetent PJ search and yet you cannot understand that the parents of a child who were witnessing this incompetence would want to do EVERYTHING including using others to help. Shame on you.
What former police ? John Stalker who thought the McCanns and their friends were hiding something or perhaps MWT who's media company had close ties with the McCanns ? As for journalists, that'd swear black was white if it made for good copy.
Among others, yes.
All builds up a picture, which was available in images as well on video and in photo form.
There are the "forensic" people who didn't even wear forensic protective gear. Even Grime who should have known better was utterly casual in this respect when working with the PJ.
There are reports of the borders not being closed, searches not being co-ordinated properly by the police.
Trying to pretend that the PJ did a wonderful job is insane. They did not.
Reports ? From where ? The tabloid press ?
The PJ made mistakes as every police force carrying out a major inquiry do but that doesn't make the great majority of the work done worthless. Madeleine, due to a lack of proper checking, if abducted, had been missing for almost an hour before the alarm was raised. That most precious measure of time, golden hour, was lost before the GNR or PJ had even heard Madeleine's name and whose fault was that ?
Video reports, news reports, longer articles all testify to the incompetence of the PJ. There are clear failures to follow up things in the files. Rebelo is reported to have been appalled at the state the case was in when Amaral was dismissed. And so on.
Thanks though, for admitting that the PJ were making mistakes.
It is precisely because of those mistakes that the parents would have wanted to involve anyone who might be able to help.
It is the fact that certain posters here cannot understand and accept that the fear and desperation on the part of the parents of the missing child at the heart of the case on seeing those mistakes by the police that you refer to which makes their posts rather bizarre.
Everyone can see the mistakes. Every person with an ounce of empathy can understand what such mistakes would do to a traumatised parent.
Certain posters here seem utterly blind to that reality.
