Mrs Fenn and that crying child incident revisited.

Probably many more if we examine things.

Both Catholic 'martyrs' ?

Little Madeleine hadn't yet heard voices, or had she ?

[Sherlock Holmes]

She wasn't quizzed aerobically, for sure, the purpose was to burn her as a witch. I love Leonard Cohen singing.. I love your solitude, I love your pride.

Oh, they don't make music like they used to.

If he was fire, then you must be wood.

What nonsense.  The group could only reply to the questions they were being asked.   There is nothing odd about them not knowing exactly what they did on each day of the holiday - as they had no idea that it was ever going to be important - so had no reason to make sure they remembered.   

Could you give a detailed description with exact times etc of what you did every minute of every day last week?  I certainly couldn't.

Last week? probably not. I lost someone on the 20th of March 2007 and can tell you that Mother's day fell on the 18th of March that year. That comic relief was on 16th, that my son had football training on the 15 and it was freezing cold, that we bought chips on the way home. On the Monday of that week, so that would be the 12th, it was parents evening.

On Tuesday the 20th a surveyor was due at my house. It was sunny. My younger son was going to his friends house for dinner straight from school.

When something significant happens you do tend to remember the surrounding events.

|I have had a similar experience and agree entirely.

One thing that struck me about the holiday is how repetitively boring it must have been given that none of the Tapas could remember, with any detail, what they did that week.

Pamela Fenn told her hairdresser they were at Chaplins when Madeleine was crying on TUE 1 MAY.

[jassi]

I wonder if that was true? After all, someone would have to have told her that for her to know.

[pathfinder73]

It makes perfect sense. They couldn't have checked on Madeleine if they were there and that would explain why Fenn heard Madeleine crying from 10.30 to 11.45 and the crying stopped when they came back. Fenn heard them enter by the patio door at 11.45pm It's situated next to the church by the beach.

If this was true, wouldnt someone/several people have remembered? Once the story hit the news and for weeks and months after? Its just hearsay really....


Mind you it might account for a crying child near Mrs Fenns flat for over an hour that no one seems to  have heard or been able to soothe......

Yes, I could not agree more. When anything dramatic has happened in my life I remember the surrounding days with great clarity. I do not find it credible that the McCann parents and their friends cannot recall the events of the days surrounding the alleged abduction. I believe they have fabricated events, which may account for the inconsistencies and the changes of strories. The Portugese police did not believe the friends' accounts and thought Jane Tanner's sighting of a man carrying a child was irrelevant.

Perhaps they put something in the the water, or the wine to induce collective amnesia - certainly worked on the Tapas 9.

LOL

The only  source for this story is a certain internet poster from years ago called Vera who said she was at chaplins that night and saw them....thats it..stuff spreads but no corroboration

In the water supply of all PdL, seemingly, bar that of the hairdresser and whoever "Vera" was.

They found her sighting was irrelevant not because they doubted she has seen, but because she wasn't seen.
Even if you saw someone two minutes before, if you meet that person you say 'hi' or wave.

Some people do, others don't.
