Why People who suspect the McCanns get so angry at People who do not.

Which Legal Decisions?

Amaral,court was right to convict him for signing off officer statements
Amaral, lower court right to ban his book
Amaral, appellant court wrong to say his book should be unbanned
Ciprianos, court was wrong to convict for murder
Ciprianos, appeal court wrong not to quash convictions

Sorry.  I thought we were talking about a possible crime committed by The McCanns.  If they are ever convicted then I might express an opinion.

Oh I see, you didnt make it clear you respected the law so far just in THIS case....bleurgh.....

Hoax by who?
 >@@(*&)

If it was a hoax the perpetrators of it must be the cruellest maddest people on this planet......shudder

By person or persons who weren't a stranger to her.

It is a crazy theory (but so are the ones surrounding the similar Lindbergh case), with as little evidence for it as there is for the abduction scenario (i.e. none). But if it were some kind of hoax Madeleine could have been both alive and in good shape, and perhaps even still. There's little similar hope (logical hope anyway) provided by abduction theories, so I'm intrigued why other theories aren't discussed more often.

I think they will be in years to come if the current inconclusive state continues, which I think it will.

What do you mean, Lyall ? What is similar ?

You could start a new thread on this, its interesting.....not sure what the purpose would be though of a hoax and putting all their family through hell for it...bit lost on this one....tbh

Similarities about the locations where the children disappeared, timing of the disappearances, and reactions of those involved afterwards. Long time since I read the Lindbergh information, Anne, but when you read it some of the questions that arise are the same as the ones in the McCann case. I'll list them all one day.

Have you read the very convincing hypothesis by an American historian ? No abduction, but eugenism (the child was hydrocephalus). The scale accident explains why the ransom was never claimed for, Lindbergh had to run behind the false abductor.
Apart from the fact the crime scene was made a mess before the police arrived, I don't think these cases have much in common.

[Rogerandout]

I agree, Red, and I mention it to Roger & Co. because they only ever talk about one scenario: the one that suits their chosen vocation.

But Collins discusses another one, and there's yet another that nobody ever discusses (which happens to be the best for Madeleine herself. It's telling they never discuss the hoax possibility).

YOU LIE. I never support a particular scenario.

[Lyall]

YOU LIE. I never support a particular scenario.

Oh, you so do. There's only one side of the case you will consider.

I shall present my case (when I've looked at my notes again )

[Redblossom]

How utterly pathetic.

No whats pathetic is that you name call and then complain that there is no debate to be had...why would anyone then debate with you? Unless they are a masochist? You resorted to the insults not me, ergo?.....zzzzz
boring, now go and call someone elses posts stupid....

[Rogerandout]

Oh, you so do. There's only one side of the case you will consider.

Please provide evidence of any theory on Madeleine's disappearance that I have ever supported.

If you fail to provide such evidence, I will report you for abuse.

Over to you.
