Is it any wonder that initial investigators arrived at the conclusions they did?

[Vertigo Swirl]

You do realise that the police start with simple questions in order to put the suspect at ease?

NSS.
16. What does “we let her down” mean?

Explain how that question was supposed to put Kate McCann at ease?

[Wonderfulspam]

You see I do... And I've posted this before.
Had Kate answered the 48 there would have been another 48....then another... It's a simple process.
Kate did the right thing to stop the pj pulling this very old trick

I disagree.

Had Kate told the PJ what she did with Maddie then there wouldn't have been anymore questions imo.

[Vertigo Swirl]

I agree with you on that one. IMO Maddie was beyond help by 10pm.

Why, when you believe fervently that Madeleine woke and wandered, do you also believe she was dead by 10pm?

[Angelo222]

Why, when you believe fervently that Madeleine woke and wandered, do you also believe she was dead by 10pm?

Because imo whatever happened to her happened before 10pm.

[Mr Gray]

Because imo whatever happened to her happened before 10pm.

Of course..... When kate checked at ten the, window, was open and Maddie had been abducted..

[Vertigo Swirl]

Because imo whatever happened to her happened before 10pm.

Is there any logic to your belief that she was dead by 10pm?

[Lace]

Maybe she was in her head.
I'll answer your question - I'd answer the questions. Why? Because I'd want to show those f***ing tossers they were barking up the wrong tree and I'd prove it.

Then I'd flip a table, stab the first one in the neck with a pen, smash the second one's head against the door, handcuff them together, steal their radios, walk calmly out the fire exit, hot wire a panda car, beat a hasty retreat to Gib and be in Tangier by sunrise, disguised as a Bedouin Goat Herder.

What an imagination

Instant analysis of a situation such as this and the execution using commensurate skills comes with years of training.
Thankfully I've only had to deploy such tactics a handful of times.

Kate had been put through a gruelling interrogation for hours before she was asked the questions she declined to answer.

The Police told her she was lying,  that someone had come forward saying they had seen Kate and Gerry with a large black bag.   That maybe Kate had had a 'black out'  and couldn't remember what she had  done.  That they had Madeleine's DNA that proved she had died in 5a.

This went on for hours,  they wanted Kate to admit to hiding Madeleine's body.

Now if that had happened to you,  do you honestly believe you wouldn't listen to your lawyer and remain silent?  T

I would suggest you smash the second ones head against the door frame rather that the door

Go for the eyes,  knees and ankles.

I'm sure some think that Kate was questioned, whilst reclining in an armchair, sipping tea and eating custard creams.   It was horrific.   Listen to what Robert Murat had to say about his interrogation.  Afterwards he got home curled up in a ball and cried,  terrified.

What gruelling interrogation?

What black bag?

When was this charge of lying made?

 

[Mr Gray]

This was from the may interviews..

. 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.

Kate was questioned for two hours then there was a fifteen minute break.
She  was questioned for a further two and three quarter hours followed by a two hour break.
She was questioned for another hour and then sent home.

Twelve hours later questioning resumed after she was made arguida, but she refused to answer on the advice of her lawyer. Three and a half hours later it was finished.

Total hours being questioned; nine and a quarter over two days.
