Simple question.
Maybe someone on here knows what level of discussion took place on the internet about the twins deep sleep, between Madeleine's disappearance and the release of Kate's book ?
I think if we established when the idea of sedation first surfaced on the Internet we might be a step forward on this.
Somewhere on the forum someone had posted that Kate's father said they had given Madeleine Calpol when she was younger, to help her sleep. Presumably, he did not simply utter this in some voluntary offering, but was responding to what was already circulating.
The only date I am certain of is that it was in Amaral's book when that was released. Presumably Kate's father's statement predates that. Once the book had been translated from Portuguese, there would have been the obvious opportunity of discussion starting on various forums.
I did not follow the case back in those days, so the actual track record is beyond me.
Suffice it to say the issue was important enough for Kate to cover it off in her book. As to whether this issue had been raised with her previously, perhaps in an interview or perhaps with one of her friends discussing it with her, that is something I do not know. I can see so many alternative routes for this that hours could be wasted trying to document them all.
