The suggestion that the kids may have been sedated issue.

[Mr Gray]

c u bit later


I think we can put the myth to bed now that Kate Mccann did any searching that night....there is absolutely ZERO evidence for it

There certainly is evidence, but no proof. You don't understand the difference. This comes as no surprise.

[stephen25000]

So first you admit it is untrue to say that kate did not search because it was cold and dark. That is absolutely untrue and repeated a lot on different forums. Shame people can't stick to the truth.
Kate says in her book that she searched that night.If you want to call her a liar, fair enough, but you have no proof she is lying. I have no reason to believe she is lying, no one as yet has accused her of lying about this in her book. You appear to be the first, about one year after it was written.

Yet again.

Merely because it states something in a book, it doesn't mean it's true.

On your logic if I wrote a book and in it claimed I was a gynecologist, wquld it be true ???

[AnneGuedes]

There's evidence that, observing there was no evidence of her search, as in fact she stayed at home, Mrs McCann tried to rewrite history in "Madeleine".

[Mr Gray]

Yet again.

I am starting to wonder what type of people I am in discussion with. Can't you understand the written word. Where did I say it was true. I said there was evidence but no proof.

[Mr Gray]

Yet again.

as you can't spell the word it would not be very convincing.

[Mr Gray]

let me help you a little,
If it came to court, kate would give evidence. Her testimony would be considered EVIDENCE
Just to repeat...EVIDENCE

That is not the same as proof. have you got it yet.

[faithlilly]

Luz say's 4 months Paiva says 3.

You are wrong Faith. If Paiva say's they asked for testing 3 months after Madeleine was abducted, they had not been made arguidos.
No matter how you look at it, it was not the McCann's place to get testing done. It was down to the PJ. If Amaral was so sure, why didn't he get them tested? He didn't need their permission, he could have got a court order, if needed, which I doubt he would have.

You are right DCI. Kate did ask for tests to be done several months later when Gerry was away. He then canceled them as soon as he got back.

[Carana]

This is another thing Amaral got wrong. in the UK people see a priest when they need help , prayer, not just when someone has died

Yes, in some cultures, a priest or pastor is not necessarily some lofty being only to be seen on days of reverence, but someone who offers more pastoral support and can often be considered as a family friend.

[DCI]

Do you have a source for this cancellation, Faith?
Makes no odds anyway, its still the police's job to do them not the child's parents.

[DCI]

The first person to admire the need of a priest was Mrs Batista. She was the go-between, so caught an important component of communication : the intonation of the voice.

Nothing wrong with that, its their faith!

A GNR officer, was also asked. But he couldn't find one!

[Benice]

There is nothing to ignore.

She had every opportunity to revise the book, she didn't.

Meanwhile, what about the thread topic.

There is no excuse under the sun for not having the children tested. NOT ONE.

Why would she need to revise her book?  She was describing how she felt at that particular time - and nowhere in her book or anywhere else has she shown anything but gratitude for the support they received from the locals.

The question of whether the twins had been drugged was part of the case.  The Pj were in charge of the case not the McCanns.   The police were told of Kate and Gerry's concerns - and they chose to do nothing about it.

Please provide proof that they could have walked into a hospital without authority from the police and demanded a drugs test on children who were part of a police enquiry in which drugs may have been used.  Or alternatively use your common sense.

Ridiculous! if you take a child to a hospital and say I suspext x y z has happened, of course  they will check!Especially if it is considered life threatening. Since WHEN have YOU gone into accident and emergency and theyrequired a letter from anyone to treat your child.

Oh and Davel, KM saying something four years after an event is not evidence! Talk about stretching the truth. There IS no evidence she was running around looking for Madeleine, ie there is absolutely nothng and nobody that can back that up.

But on this very thread you quoted from Kate's book to prove a point.  Why do that if you don't believe a word she says in it.    Make your mind up Stephen.

It's also the police's job to steer the investigation not the parents. Reconstruction anyone ?

No source/link to Gerry cancelling tests then?

Ask Amaral, seems he didn't want a recontruction, when it mattered. I can never understand why though. His excuse too many journalists, doesn't cut the mustard.
