Blind panic or blind stupidity fuelled by a few glasses of vino?
I have never undertood why the PJ failed to secure the bedclothes, that is basic forensics as was everything else Maddie came into contact with including cuddlecat.
Should the question not really be, was the apartment intentionally trashed? And as for Gerry allegedly going outside to footer with the shutters...how bloody stupid was that!
How much wine are you suggesting the McCanns had drunk?
Don't you think that a missing child is sufficient to cause a parent to panic? Or do you think that would only happen if somehow partially intoxicated or worse?
The truth is that a child going missing for only a few seconds can instil blind panic in a parent. When that child remains missing for minutes and longer that panic increases. Whether you have had two, three or more glasses of wine or not makes not a jot of difference.
I am glad, though, that you are agreeing with me that Stephen is wrong when he blames the fact that Madeleine is still missing on ONLY the parents. The flawed PJ investigation may well have been a contributory factor as well. As might any abductor who could have been involved. Madeleine may well have been found had the PJ done a better job.
The apartment was not trashed at all. No matter whether there was intent or not. The photos prove that.
As for the parents trying to understand the way that their child may have been taken from the apartment or may even have left of her own accord, then I can see why that would be part of their actions. I doubt that anyone in the situation they were in would be thinkng as clearly as you appear to suggest.
Parents panic and their actions are not logical when trying to deal with that kind of situation.
As I said before, even though the situation was not comparable, the loss of the sunglasses I had borrowed meant that I was most certainly not acting logically. I even insisted that a friend's room that I had never entered was searched in case they glasses had somehow got in there.
