To those who are sceptical of the the McCanns' version of events, what raises those doubts ?
What available information or evidence leads you to question the version put forward by Kate and Gerry McCann ?
For me, one such doubt is raised by the witness statement of the upstairs neighbour, Mrs Fenn, who says she heard a child crying in the McCanns' apartment for an hour and a quarter on Tuesday night
That raises a doubt about the McCanns claim that they had been checking on their children every half hour
Now, I don't intend for this thread to descend into the usual back and forth of Mrs Fenn's reliability as a witness ... I am just saying that her testimony raises a doubt about the McCanns' version of events ... which it undeniably does
What else raises doubts ?
What reason is there to believe the versionS of eventS from the people that:
- didn't act according to their "theory" of abduction trying to search for the child immediately and/or call the authorities;
- factually compromised the crime scene;
- suppressed data that could have been relevant for the understanding of the events;
- gave contradictory/different statements (intra & inter-personally);
- never cared to go after any "sighting" but (coincidently in time) to some place totally different;
- lied about the support that was given to the search, faking that they were on their own (when they were the only ones that never searched);
- never seemed to prioritize the recovery of their child over their own "agenda" with travellings, media interviews, book, ...;
- etc, etc...
Why should anyone take for granted the version of anyone without any substantive, solid evidence?
The McCann told a story and expected it to be accepted when their behaviour told the opposite.
