Pick any sentence from Kate's book.

page 274

When she prays for the police to solve the crime, one can't imagine she feels guilty and praying at the same time.  Well I can't.
She is asking for the answer to to come from the Lord, so maybe it will.  Yet at the end of the book she deals with some of the nutters.  I'm not sure if she would class me as a nutter or not.

Hmm... &%+((£. To be perfectly frank I think she'd probably class us all as nutters, some maybe nuttier than others.

What amazed a lot of people was that Kate's mother has remained a member of my FaceBook group discussing the case.  So I wonder if Susan has told Kate about me yet?

I've never tried to make a living from it before.  But if my premonitions are correct it has already been solved.  We just have to wait.

I think it has been solved too, but getting sufficient evidence is another thing.

[Robittybob1]

In my way of thinking if "it has been solved" they don't really need any more evidence, so I don't understand your comment Sadie.

In order to prosecute a very elite man with a globally well respected organisation behind him, they need substantial undeniable evidence.


I believe Madeleine was abducted to order.  That the master abductor commissioned others to do his dirty work.  Very probably the actual physical abductors do not even know who the master is.

I believe Madeleine was abducted and taken up to Porto in at least three different stages.  Each stage only having contact with the stage above and below them. 

I believe that SY have some very strong reasons for thinking they know the master abductor. 


Maybe they also know the actual physical abductors, but have they found the people in between?  Difficult to prove anything without them

Everything compartmentalized so the bottom guys have no idea who the top guy is.

Where's the evidence for all this ?

[Robittybob1]

Where's the evidence for all this ?

Her theory.

[stephen25000]

Her theory.

A theory is nothing unless it can be backed up.

[slartibartfast]

Her theory.

A theory isn't evidence.

"I've always been considered quite a gentle person but these attacks stirred up terrible emotions in me. It was if my whole body was trying to scream but a tightly screwed on lid was preventing the scream from escaping.  Instead I was just howling internally. My punch bag certainly came in handy at times.

Madeleine  by Kate McCann page 414.   
I laughed when I read the punchline!

Doesn't that reflect her mental state ?

[Robittybob1]

A theory isn't evidence.

Any attempt to put all of the findings into some theory is worthy of respect.  That is why I don't spend time pulling Amaral down for he came up with the best theory with what he knew. I respect him for that but he was still wrong.

[Robittybob1]

Doesn't that reflect her mental state ?

It would have at the time.  That is clear from what she has written.

..and whose fault is that ?

..and whose fault is that ?

That particular paragraph was dedicated to Goncalo Amaral and his documentary.
