The most outrageous things in this case is clearly the parents own actions of leaving their very young children in an unsecured apartment and tampering of the crime scene before the police arrived. Never mind not calling the police asap knowing she was abducted but deleting history logs instead within a 24 hour period of the police examining their phones. Instead of clearing up these abnormal behaviours by later answering all questions they hide behind their lawyers and leave Portugal.
This is a disgrace - the only question answered by the mother - bet her lawyer didn't tell her to answer this one.
Q. Are you aware that in not answering the questions you are jeopardising the investigation, which seeks to discover what happened to your daughter?
A. 'Yes, if that’s what the investigation thinks.'
Advised by her lawyer to remain silent, they were trying to twist things, Kate knew this and if they had arrested her and Gerry, who would be out there leading the search for Madeleine? No one!! They would pack the case up and that would be that. Kate did the right thing IMO the right thing to keep Madeleine in the public eye and keep the search on going.
What was it Murat said when they were questioning him? 'He didn't want to hear the truth, he said I didn't get you today but I'll get you tomorrow'.
