Suppose it is true that Kate's mother was asked by the media to account for the cadaver alerts to her daughter's clothes. Imagine yourself in Mrs Healy's shoes - you are aghast at this revelation and desperately seeking to account for it. The fact that your daughter is a doctor who sometimes comes into contact with dead bodies might account for it you think, mightn't it? You're no expert but you've been asked to comment by the world's media and it's the only thing you can think of to explain it (apart from the more sinister and unthinkable thought, which you instantly banish from your mind as quite impossible).
Of course some people can't imagine being in Mrs Healy's shoes at such a distressing revelation. They can only imagine a scenario in which Kate instructs her mother to tell lies on her behalf to get her off the hook.
There is no record that Kate McCann made the statement about being in contact with six dead bodies.
Nor is there any record of Mrs Healey either being instructed to make or making such a statement.
I believe the earliest referral to contact with six dead bodies was made according to the Maddie Case Files in Jornal de Noticias 8.9.07 post23067 from where it was picked up by the British press.
It is stated in
Maddie 129 … de Hernâni Carvalho, Luís Maia … Edição/reimpressão: 2007 … Launched in Portugal November 9th 2007 … Editor: Prime Books … ISBN: 9789898028617
Which was published long before the case was archived.
Also published before the case was archived it was stated in
A Estrela de Madeleine … de Paulo Pereira Cristóvão … Edição/reimpressão: 2008 Launched in Portugal March 19th 2008 …Páginas: 160 … Editor: Editorial Presença … ISBN: 9789722338905 … Coleção: Grandes Narrativas
In what must have been devastating news for Madeleine’s family that she might be dead, Gerry’s sister Philomena sounds perplexed when saying:
"He's going in at 2pm today.
But he's not the main suspect, for some unknown reason there's something about a sniffer dog sniffing Kate. Suddenly a dog can talk and says she smelled a death.
How can that be when a British sniffer dog came out months after Madeleine's case.
They're doctors, if there's a smell of death on them could that possibly be a patient?"
