“A Laughable Story”

[G-Unit]

Holly, Jesssica & Sarah's parents all had the support of the UK police & media. Do you think your suspicions were founded on the restrictions imposed from the outset by judicial secrecy laws? The parents were not free to express themselves without management.

In my opinion the UK police would not have encouraged the parents to 'express themselves' to the media as they did. Were photo shoots showing them having fun with their other children something that the UK police would have recommended? I think not.

The 2 doctors who were there thought the children had been drugged.

They weren't taken for a check-up ...so seems there was no panic on what they had been given by alleged  abductor.

Kate thought the children had been drugged as she remembered the stain on the pyjama top Madeleine wore the morning of Thursday May 3rd.   She mentioned it as she thought someone had tried to abduct Madeleine Wednesday evening.   Kate is a Dr.  she would know if the twins moved,  they were not unconscious from drugs.

All this from someone,  who has not been in a foreign country and lost a child,  has not been inundated with journalists looking for a story.   The McCann's were not familiar with this situation,  if they thought that a photograph was going to help publicise that Madeleine was still missing then I would imagine they would go along with it.   Anyone can smile for a camera especially if the photographer is trying to make them,  doesn't mean anything,  what was going on in their minds would not be visible.

It was clear from day one imo that people were supposed to listen, sympathise, donate, search and accept, not question.

Was it?   It was clear to me from that message to the press that Gerry made with Kate looking absolutely devastated,  that they were out of their minds with worry.   No one made the public give them money, but they did, what were they supposed to do with it?  Put it in their bank account?  They had to start a fund which they had a lot of help doing,  it wasn't just the McCann's sitting down at a computer and opening one all by themselves.  Yes they wanted people to search just as other parents of missing children would.  Question what?   You are suspicious,  but there is no reason to be,  Amaral poisoned minds.

You forgot to add IMO there.

I'd never heard of Amaral before I suspected the McCanns.

As far as I know only one other UK family have been in the same position, so it's a very exclusive group. Did they and/or their advisors really think a photograph of them having fun with their other children was going to achieve anything positive? They were wrong...again (imo)

You think they were such accomplished actors that they were able to hide every trace of their true feelings?

I believe a big percent of those who gave money.. was not happy with what they spent it on.

It seems it may as well of been in there bank account...It started with a bucket in the foyer.

Ameral did not poison minds...is that IYO or can you prove otherwise.

Why would the McCann's not smile playing with Sean and Amelie?   I think it was the twins that helped them get through the first months,  they were a distraction,  they still had to be parents to them didn't they?

'You believe'.   The money was there to help the family as well as the search at the start,  I was quite happy with the spending it the way they sought fit, if that meant getting a lawyer to help start the fund or getting one to stop telling lies about them.

Give me a link where it says it was the McCann's who put the bucket in the foyer,  or someone who was helping them.

I suspected the McCann's when there were huge headlines saying '100% DNA found in car'  'Madeleines blood found in car'   It wasn't until quite a few years later I took an interest and read the files.   There were 19 markers that matched Madeleine's DNA,  yet she shares her DNA with her parents and brother and sister,  plus strangers and taking into account it was a hire car it could be absolutely anyone.

I suspected the McCanns around May 4th 2007, because I wasn't born yesterday.

Yeah, the 3 police forces are going to finally find some abduction evidence after 13 years.
