“A Laughable Story”

[Vertigo Swirl]

According to at least one member of this forum the McCanns “abduction story” is laughable. 

So what exactly is the abduction story told by the McCanns, which bits make forum members laugh and why?

We all know some find the jemmied shutters rather hilarious but that is just a semantics game played by certain members objecting to the word “jemmied” which may or may not have been uttered by Gerry.  Whether he meant actually jemmied with a crow bar or force opened by some other means is really a boring argument that seems pointless to repeat for the umpteenth time - the gist though is that the McCanns said someone else opened the shutters and window.

Does this make forum members laugh and if so please explain why it tickles you so.

Also anything else that gets you giggling about the “abduction story” as told by the McCanns, please share your views here.

I feel like we have made no progress in 12 years.

I laughed at how Kate wished she'd dressed Maddie in long sleeve pyjamas, like that would be a concern for her when paedo gangs just abducted her kid.

Nice, but not really what I was asking for.

It might just be me ... but I don't find anything to laugh about in the heart stopping panic of realising that one of your children is missing.

I think it is a primeval terror which is inbred in all of us.  In Madeleine's case the realisation that the window which had never been opened by them was open leaving but one immediate logical conclusion that someone unknown to them had opened it is not a laugh ... it is a horror.

It has been reported that Brückner had an accomplice. Since German authorities have not appealed for information on such person, it may indicate that the identity of that person is already known and that s/he is already cooperating in the investigation. My thinking.

I agree with that assessment.  I believe the alleged accomplice is known to the police and has been questioned by them in Germany which is her home.

It may even be possible that she is the woman seen at different times outside the apartment by Jes Wilkins and Mrs Murat.

According to media reports I believe this alleged accomplice was the spotter but didn't actually carry out the burglaries so finding out retrospectively the end result of this one was Madeleine's abduction probably came as a bit of a shock.  I imagine police will want to know what she might have known and when and there might be huge implications for her as a result.

So I think she may be another who for her own reasons finds nothing the least bit laughable in the heat from the abduction.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Quite sad really that you fail to notice that your post reflects more badly on your opinion of mine than it does on me.
It is also revealing that sceptics are thin on the ground when justification of amusement at a child's kidnapping is called for.
So well done you for ably upholding the sceptic banner and showing part of what McCann sceptics are all about.

Nothing to laugh about at all, as far as I am concerned.

Absolutely nothing.

I don't know about laughable but abduction from the children's bedroom has been shown to be less than credible compared to the abduction from the street scenario which at least is/supported by some credible evidence.

Sorry Brie but there is a very big question mark over this given that Kate McCanns fingerprints were the only ones found on the window. If I came across an open window in such circumstances I would have made a beeline for the front door and not waste time running to any tapas bar. Sceptics are right to question her claims and alleged actions that night since they just don't add up imo.

”Has been shown” by whom?
