Police officers sent packing after asking Kate McCann where her daughter was?

[faithlilly]

And the McCanns are not Oscar winning actors.  If they were such geniuses that they pulled the wool over the eyes of highly trained FLO's and also the very experienced trauma counsellor Alan Pike, amongst others - they would not be doctors - they'd be using their amazing talent to earn a fortune in Hollywood  - and Gerry would not be peddling to work on a pushbike.  IMHO of course.

I think it would be hard, even for an experienced police officer, to tell the difference between the grief displayed by a parent whose child is dead and one whose child is missing.

And as to Gerry riding a bike to work, do you really think he does that to save money ? 

[Carana]

Have you found something indicating they weren't together ?

I was wondering if you'd found something in the files that would have substantiated that they were, as you stated it as fact.

If they were so devastated and grief-stricken by their daughter's death then they would not have been able to dispose of her body as if it was no more important to them than an inconvenient  sack of rubbish.   To do that they would have to be psychopaths - and those sort of people cannot naturally show empathy or sorrow and have no conscience - and can only ACT as if they have.   They would eventually have been sussed out by the FLO's and the trauma counsellor IMO. 

IMO people who seek a lavish lifestyle - as it is often claimed the McCanns do - would not contemplate anything less than a classy car to ride around in.    A Jaguar perhaps?

But then again Karen Matthews wasn't very bright, was she ?

You can't be suggesting that the FLOs weren't bright enough to notice if the McCanns had displayed suspicious behaviour, surely?

I think the McCanns had a "people carrier".  A Jaguar would cost quite a lot to buy and run, so unlikely to be affordable on a doctors salary.

Your only source for the sent packing story is Amaral, a convicted liar. I think that says it all.

'MONDAY, MAY 14: I slept well last night after a not very good end of the day, frustration with the FLO (Portuguese police family liaison officer) asking me where would my little M be.'

Now was this just the Portuguese officer, or were UK representatives there as well ?

Psychologists say pain tends to calm down in the first case and increase in the second.
But it is generally speaking because much depends on variables like how the child died or went missing.

Isn't that where Bundleman came in?

2nd paragraph of OP, Angelo:

"According to Mr Amaral, an 'incident' occurred on 14th May when Kate McCann was asked by one of the highly experienced British liaison police officers as to where Madeleine was.  The question did not go down well, the officer and his colleague were sent packing back to England having only been there a week.  The two officers are later replaced by a Portuguese speaker.

Curiously, the incident has been conveniently forgotten."

Is there any credible evidence that it took place at all?

Well as it says Portuguese police family liaison officer I think its fair to assume hes Portuguese. So amaral wrong again.

I think the part in brackets has been added by the newspaper, as was the part was about Cherie Blair being the PMs wife. I can't imagine Kate having to remind herself of both those facts ( unless it was writen for public consumption ).

Ricardo Paiva was her PT FLO at some point, wasn't he? If so, when did this happen? I haven't found anything to verify when this actually occurred, nor whether UK and PT FLOs were contemporaneous at some point.

[stephen25000]

Your assumption is that Amaral is wrong.


It doesn't mean it was. >@@(*&)

Yes he was, and ceased to be after the McCanns were made arguidos.
