Were The McCann Children more vulnerable than the others?

[Mr Gray]

I haven't decided yet whether SY are being intentionally dim witted in this case or if they are under orders to hold back. No doubt it will all come out in the end.

I think you are totally wrong on both counts...those are not the only two options..

you have often said the police will have more information than we do ...  which is true...so I think they are in a far better position to reach a conclusion than someone sitting in front of a computer screen

Can we get back on topic?  Was leaving the patio door unlocked risky and if so why?  Would it have made any difference to whether or not Madeleine could have left the apartment under her own steam if it had been locked from the inside?

It was pointless considering, according to the McCanns, that Maggie couldn't have operated the child gate anyways.
I suppose she could have got some fresh air though.

[Mr Gray]

I still find it remarkable that the abduction from the apartment theory is constantly trotted out despite there being nothing to support it. I see no alternative to woke and wandered and probably knocked down in the street outside the apartment for all the reasons previously explained.

woke and wandered highly unlikely according to the PJ...are they dimwitted too

I think you are ten years out of date.

Clever sillies: why high IQ people tend to be deficient in common sense.

There is no such word as preclude’s so thats a poor excuse for a start.  Everything preclude’s (sic) Madeleine dying in a fall off the balcony, lying there long enough to emit cadaver odour, being discovered, all within the 90 minutes her parents were away from the apartment, and with others checking on the apartment, plus all the other known facts.

Firstly there has been no peer reviewed research that I have seen that quantifies how quickly cadaver odour develops in a child...whether it is different from an adult....so until that happens we can’t be sure what Eddie’s alert was to.

As to other people checking, only one did, Matthew and he didn’t see Madeleine.

What are the other known facts ?

Crikey, that reminds me, I need to go and check the use-by date on our can of corned beef.

People of High IQ are inherently clever.  I do not lack common sense.  The only thing that I lack is general knowledge, because it is not that important  to me.  I can always work it out if I have to.

Check the files, they are all in there.  convenient that you can make up any old figures for cadaver odour developing in the case of a child to fit with your theory, don’t you think....?

It was you who claimed that there is other facts therefore it is up to you to produce them.

In that case I afraid so IMO.

The files, look in them, full of known facts.

Ah you see that’s where you’re wrong. There’s not one teeny, weeny fact in the files that conclusively proves that there was an abduction.

I don’t think I actually said that did I Miss Twisty?

Or any fact that even suggests that there was an abductor.
