Kate McCann: I believe kidnapper drugged my twins night Madeleine was taken.

[Robittybob1]

So Gerry, all their tapas friends including FP who was with Kate all night, all the PJ and GNR officers and SB all failed to report Kate expressing to the PJ officer her concerns for the twins? Do you actually believe that?

Well let's see shall we.  We all know Kate thought the child was kidnapped, is that thought written in her statement?
No sign of the word "kidnapped" or "abducted", even the word "taken" is only used once in another attached document " that a mouth swab be taken ....".
So if those genuine thoughts of Kate aren't included why do we expect the PJ are going to allow the words "drugged" or "sedated"?

Interesting are the two French words "Enfants Kidnapp' 26/08/08" at the end of Kate's statement.

Kate says she was concerned that they may have been sedated, not that she thought they definitely had been sedated.  She also says she raised the issue with the PJ.  There is no independent verification of this so you can either choose to take her word for it or accuse her of being a liar. Which is it to be?

Where (source) and when did she claim she had raised the issue with the PJ?

In Madeleine the book.

In Madeleine the book.

Do you know which chapter?
Chapter called "Missing"  page 99 in the paperback revised version.
"We tried to explain what had happened. ....and I reported my fears that all three children could have been sedated.  A lady called Silvia, who worked at Ocean Club, had arrived to help out with the translation.  We learned later that she was the maintenance and services manager."

So there goes an argument against the idea that Silvia had personally contacted the McCanns that day offering babysitting services.  They did not know her till after Madeleine was missing.

Kate actually claims that 'we' brought sedation up on the night of the 3rd. Who was 'we' ?

"We" would have been David and Kate and the interpreter.

In Madeleine the book.

Did this claim arise for the first time in Kate's book "madeleine", in 2011?

Yes.

So why didn't they mention it in their statement? This wasn't a small detail, this was the McCann's twins, according to Kate, having been given a potentially fatal dose of sedative. BTW Alfie if Kate was suspected to be lying what do censure she would face so long after the event?

[ShiningInLuz]

If everyone else who was there fails to mention sedatives to the PJ, then it's a bit of a no-brainer.

So who, out of those who was there, mentioned sedatives?  Did anyone in the T9 mention sedatives on 4 May statements?  10 May statements?

Why do you keep insisting Kate was concerned about a fatal dose of sedatives?  I have no idea why it wasn't mentioned in statements, though as I recall the first statements they were factual accounts of individuals' movements and not extremely detailed accounts of every word and action witnessed.

Don't understand your second question.

[faithlilly]

I don't need to think about that one.

Absolutely no one, not even the McCanns, mentioned anyone raising any concerns with the PJ about the twin's unconscious state

The 'drugged' issue aside, was there ever a question raised as to whether the twins had been interfered by this intruder (if he existed) since he was supposed to be a paedophile?

[misty]

How many PJ officers were available overnight 3/4 May for the parents to voice their concerns to?

I don't believe the subject was ever raised. You have to wonder why the twins were never interviewed by specialist police officers.
