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

[jassi]

So Matt messed up again did he?  Should he have discovered Madeleine missing at that stage?

He certainly messed up in the sense that had he done a proper visual check at 9.30, the time of Madeleine's disappearance would be more accurately known.

Yes and then
You are investigated by portumgals finest detective who knows exactly what you have done
You face years in jail but manage to get away with it
So you return to the uk
Start a multimillion pound fraudulent fund and spend all the money on detectives
You are now guilty of a much more serious crime
Write a book and earn a million and still not keep the money for yourself
Then having got away with two serious crimes you invite another team of crack detectives to investigate you

If you think that is a realistic situation you must be barmy

My thoughts to a tee.

But we were discussing a possible scenario of a dead child (MM) in the room.  So if a dead MM was there before his check why would she be gone at 10:00?  Certainly an interesting scenario.

The point is we don't where she was at 9.30 as Matt did not do a thorough check.

Today seems to have been a day for hurling innuendo at the McCanns.

Give it a rest!

In my scenario the McCanns are innocent so there should be no innuendo  confronting the  McCanns.
Here we are discussing a possible scenario but I feel it doesn't work.

Today?!  What about yesterday, and the day before that, and the one before that, etc etc...

The point (I think) Rob was making is why would you let Matt go and check on your children when you already know one of them is dead?

Yes true, but I also realise that in this proposed scenario the missing child has to be found missing sooner or later so maybe it doesn't matter if Matt discovers the fact sooner or Kate later.

If Madeleine had already been removed, it wouldn't matter who went at 9.30. As it transpired, Matt didn't observe that she wasn't in her bed, so the alarm wasn't raised until 10.pm

If Madeleiene had already been removed there wouldn't have been time for cadaver odour to develop.

That would depend on when she died, wouldn't it.

There seem to be gremlins afoot on the board at the moment, so all I can say is that today I have spent a long time moderating, and the bulk of that has been innuendo about the McCs.  Don't ask me why.  On other days it is Amaral hunting.  On yet others it is open season on Grime.

They all get tidied up or chopped.  A waste of time all-round.

Amaral wrote a book hurling innuendo at the McCanns yet you support him
Disgraceful

[jassi]

Impossible to know.
 We only have people's statements to go on and who knows what is true and what isn't. So little is corroborated by testimony of another person.
The whole thing is a conundrum, which is why, almost 10 years on, there is no solution.
