Also where did Gerry hide Madeleine?  It has been said there were wells etc. How would he know about them?  They kept more or less to the Ocean Club area.

Well you see Gerry had the bright idea of putting the body in a bin, but it had to be a bin in the most high traffic part of town obviously, rather than select one away from the resort, so he dumped it in a bin at the back of a restaurant or bar, hoping beyond hope that no one would witness him slinging a corpse in and that no one clearing up at the end of the night would look in the bin when putting out their own rubbish.  And as luck would have it the bin was emptied by bin men a few hours later removing any trace of the crime.  Talk about the luck of the stupid. Gerry was both incredibly lucky and incredibly stupid - if you believe the troll that is.

If you kill a child and want to hide what you have done would you raise the alarm to let everyone know the child had disappeared and then carry the child?s uncovered body through town?  Would you really?  Is that actually the very best plan you can come up with?  You utter moron.

How did they all agree on the time of 10pm Spam?  Did someone make them?  If so why didn?t he make them say 10.03pm precisely?  Do you think they all connived to provide Gerry with an alibi?

They didn't all agree 10pm, VS. They came up with an estimate & Matt didn't agree & his evidence tallies with Russell's half eaten steak.

Gerry wasn?t out searching alone until after the time of the Smiths? sighting so it couldn?t have been him.

The alarm was raised before 10pm,

[Wonderfulspam]

No there isn't. Try taking that to Court. The Law would laugh at you and quite likely Section you, which wouldn't be a bad idea.

She's dead. Get over it.

When Kate started hollering that Madeleine had been taken there is no way that either she or Gerry would have been able to control events thereafter.  They would have no way of knowing how their friends would react, what they would do, which direction they would run to search, who would go to fetch the police or staff members, they would have no way of knowing if there was a police patrol in the streets nearby, or whether CCTV covered any of the areas in town between the Ocean Club and the sea front, or who was out and about that evening strolling to and from a pub or restaurant, they would have had no way of knowing that their faces would be plastered across the world's press the very next day so that anyone who had seen them up to no good would have immediately identified them, they would have not been able to control any of that. 

So to suggest that the most logical course of action in order to dispose of a dead body in a tourist town is to relinquish ALL control of the situation by waiting until AFTER raising the alarm and drawing attention to yourselves BEFORE hiding the body, and then PARADING that body through the very heart of that tourist town is completely and utterly absurd.  But some people seem to think this is what actually occurred that a) the McCanns were really really stupid and b) the McCanns were really really lucky to have gotten away with the dumbest cover up plan ever concocted.

Gerry suggested they all split up & search. He went off searching alone. Before 10pm. Then he got seen by the Smiths. It isn't complicated.

We know that Gerry was at the table of the Tapas Bar when Kate alerted them that Madeleine was missing.  We know that Gerry ran back to 5a to search the apartment and surrounding area. To say that he went off on his own recovered the body of Madeleine where he is supposed to have hidden her and carried her down to the beach area, to do what?  There were a lot of people out searching at the time so no one would notice Gerry was missing?  Where did he put Madeleine?  So ridiculous.

He went off searching alone after the alarm was raised which was before 10pm. He recovered Maddie from wherever he had hidden her during his unusually long 9pm check, then he got seen in his coincidental trousers by the Smiths. The other tapas friends were searching around the rear of 5a, no one else was searching at that point & no one had contacted the police either. Least of all Kate & Gerry. Kate punched walls in the apartment & Gerry had other more important things to do. It isn't complicated.

Somewhere in the direction of the Smith sighting probably.

You trust the policeman words, more than evidence itself. This is why I call you a gullible retarded moron. Because that is gullible moron behaviour. You are certainly not fit for jury service, shouldn't have the right to vote & I find it sad that you have tainted the genepool with your offspring frankly.

The Gerrylike man with coincidental trousers carried the inert blonde haired long sleeved pyjamas girl past a group of four witnesses, off into the night never to be seen again. All this occurred around the same time Mr McCann was out searching alone. Dismiss the evidence in favour of some policeman words if you must but I'd rather suggest that makes you a moron & certainly not me.

What time did he say then?

Have you ever even bothered reading the statements in the past 19 years?

[Vertigo Swirl]

They didn't all agree 10pm, VS. They came up with an estimate & Matt didn't agree & his evidence tallies with Russell's half eaten steak.

They did agree, they sat down and wrote up a timeline a mere few hours after the disappearance and they all agreed 10pm.

[Vertigo Swirl]

The alarm was raised before 10pm,

No.

He had no control over where his mates would go or even if they would do as he said.  You?re clinging to an absolutely absurd scenario out of sheer desperation and haven?t begun to come to terms with the sheer absurdity of it even now when I have spelt it out for you.

Once again, and read it properly this time:

So to suggest that the most logical course of action in order to dispose of a dead body in a tourist town is to relinquish ALL control of the situation by waiting until AFTER raising the alarm and drawing attention to yourselves BEFORE hiding the body, and then PARADING that body through the very heart of that tourist town is completely and utterly absurd.  But some people seem to think this is what actually occurred that a) the McCanns were really really stupid and b) the McCanns were really really lucky to have gotten away with the dumbest cover up plan ever concocted.
