So what actual searching was there?

[Lace]

Seemingly no since Kate McCann admits that there was nobody around at dawn.  As for disbelieving them, I refer you to the very recent Supreme Court edict which casts doubt on their story thus I am perfectly entitled to be suspicious.

The only searching which they did according to their own statements and interviews was in the hours following Maddie's disappearance, they did not take part in any organised searches which I find incredible.

The McCanns were wrong to claim that nobody was out searching at dawn.  They would not have known the full scope of searches which were ongoing around Luz and especially the beach area and in the bay itself and further afield.  Thus began the criticism of the police.

I don't find it incredible that the McCann's didn't take part in the organised search.   They searched the apartment they searched the surrounding area,  then they waited for the police,  which is what is recommended that parents of a missing child do.   Did Sarah Payne's parents join the organised search?  No,   did Ben Needham's mother?  No,  did April's parents?  No.   Why are the McCann's getting singled out?   The parents wait for the Police the parents give statements to the Police, then the Police search.

They only did one search and it could be important to the case. Why only one with nobody else around?

I don't know why?
Can you explain why?

Hypothetically speaking he might.

I hope he does.

If they were all alone maybe Madeleine was too so if they offered the areas where they searched - hedgerows, ditches etc. it may rule some areas out. To my understanding they've never shared this information and it could be important to the case.

I notice that you have cherry picked just The Mccanns statement.  How about Raj Balu and Neil Berry, who both confirmed that Gerry was out searching.  You must have known about them?  Why did you ignore them ??

I can't see any statements from Balu and Berry saying they saw Gerry searching.

I can't see any statements from Balu and Berry saying they saw Gerry searching.

As you must know by now, the three statements that might prove that Gerry searched are all missing,  What did the PJ do with them?   And why did these particular statements vanish?

However, it is on record that Balu and Berry did see Gerry searching and had a brief chat with him.   As a result of learning that Madeleine was missing they joined the search and searched until 4am.


This fact was on this forum within the last couple of months, or so.  I cant think why you don't remember it?

PJ FILES ALTERED - WHY ??????????
a Special thank you to one of our supporters, who has brought to our attention that the witness statements of Rajinder Singh Balu and Neil Berry have been altered.

The original statements in the PJ files stated that Neil Berry & Raj Balu sitting on there balcony saw a man looking for his daughter in the bushes below.They then engaged with him from the balcony, and then went down and helped him search. That man was Gerry McCann. This text no longer exists in the witness statements. Why is it significant, because the Balu/ Berry sighting of Gerry McCann is 15 meters from the back fence-line of the Murat property. What the hell is going on here ????

So we are now using potentially libellous Supporter Facebook pages as a cite?

That is a matter of opinion.

It was a question.

In my opinion a rhetorical question.  However grammar probably doesn't fit with the thread topic ... may we stop deflecting and get back there.
