Kate and Gerry and the jemmied shutter claim.

[Wonderfulspam]

The last delivery of the over has to be the 'jemmied shutters' story put about by Philomena McCann and other family members, none of whom were any nearer Portugal at the time than their own front doors and all of whom had been contacted directly by either Kate or Gerry McCann immediately after the first alarm bells were rung in Praia da Luz.

That story was a myth. The reality was articulated subsequently by Clarence Mitchell:

6. (a) Jon Corner, godparent to the McCanns' twins, said: "She was in an absolutely hysterical state - very, very distressed. She blurted out Madeleine had been abducted.

"Kate said the shutters of the room were smashed."

(b) Brian Healy Grandfather:

"Gerry told me when they went back the shutters to the room were broken, they were jemmied up and she was gone,"

Did I actually say they did?
Maybe Kate & Gerry never said it. Or maybe they disinform via proxy. Who knows? Who cares?

Why would there be ANY first hand quotes...neither of them were ever asked what they said to their relatives on the phone.....neither of them volunteered that info, why would they? so your dead duck mission fails yet again to prove thay THEY NEVER uttered the word jemmied....your claim, your onus to prove
 

Too many people have tried to help you understand, to show you there is a very high  probability Gerry said "jemmied" though Im sure no one understands your obsession with wanting it NOT to be true... but never mind, enjoy a second or is it third day of rummaging in the pits of irrelevant and pedantic nothingness



PS Chnese whispers normally involves similar sounds...misheard....forced would never be heard as jemmied....

i dont know how  you can stand talking to him  lol   IGNORE IS BLISS

yes it is obvious that ignorance is bliss for a lot of people.

It keeps them from having to think, argue and discuss.

It doesn't take much to work out where the friends and family got the info from and it most certainly wasn't the twins.

Its so sad that its become entertaining....at times I must add, most of the time its head banging

[Mr Gray]

what I think happened is that the family were told that the shutter had been opened from the outside, perhaps using the word forced...and then each time the story was told different words were used...quite normal

"jemmied" is such a minor point in the scheme of things - but it has kept people "entertained" for years.

Trish used the wrong word and clearly didn't know the word jemmy. I wonder where she might have got it from?

kicked in

hammered

jemmied

broken


any term will do - it has been proven to be irrelevant as a friendly ex copper was recorded lifting the shutters quite easily from outside, courtesy of Brown.

I don't see it as irrelevant because the wording suggests a violent breaking into the property, which was not the case.

[Mr Gray]

100%  certainly wasn't the case

ok - it was wrong - and then?
