Title: Can Anyone See a Problem With These Statements ?
Post by: faithlilly on August 18, 2013, 01:59:26 PM
Arguido statement of Gerry McCann :

'He ( Gerry ) states that since the twins were born, he and Kate have gone out at night only once, leaving the children with relatives.'

Statement of Hailey Jane Plummer : '

'As a couple, James and I would take care of Madeleine and the twins in their house in Rothley about every two months, for a few hours each time. We would arrive at the house at about 19.00 – 19.30 when the twins were already asleep, but Madeleine was waiting for us and would be up for about half an hour'

I dont trust anything to do with what happened at that Arguido meeting.  Not after Amaral / the PJ lied to gerry and told him that Madeleines DNA, or whatever was in that hire car.  A car that Madeleine hadn't even been near and hired weeks later.

What appalling behaviour for a Police Force ...  to blattently lie like that.



The Arguido statement cannot be trusted.  Ignore it.

Gerry signed it as a true representation of what had transpired and you certainly believe the part that details the PJ's 'lies' so why not this part ?

So Hayley's boyfriend is Kate's cousin, you missed that bit off Faith!

I got to know Madeleine and her parents Kate and Gerry at the nursery school. I also spent time with them socially because my boyfriend James is Kates cousin. As a couple, James and I would take care of Madeleine and the twins in their house in Rothley about every two months, for a few hours each time. We would arrive at the house at about 19.00 – 19.30 when the twins were already asleep, but Madeleine was waiting for us and would be up for about half an hour. The routine followed would be to brush her teeth and tell her a story or two before going to sleep, followed by a brief passage through the twins room. Once she was alone Madeleine would generally fall asleep after 10 minutes and during my stays in their house she would never get out of bed after having fallen asleep. She would always sleep in her room. I do not remember Madeleine having been difficult when we were there.

I would take that to mean that they have only gone out at night once and left Madeleine with relatives once since the twins were born.


The fact that other times the couple came to the house to baby sit.

Two reasons why this account doesn't hold water

1)  The above.  You cant trust anything that came from that lying Arguido meeting.  Especially the arguido statement

2)  Gerry Mccann signed a statement, was it written in Portuguese? ... he signed it when he was dazed by the appalling lies of the PJ.  His mind must have been reeling as he realised that they were prepared to stitch him and Kate up with lies. 

How long had he been there being interrogated ?

What was the exact question put to Gerry?

"When questioned about whether the couple's and the children's life was peaceful, namely regarding the work that three children can give a couple, as well as the stress this can cause, he replies that in fact since the birth of the twins their life has been very busy, and that especially during the twins' first year life was difficult. He states that since the twins were born, he and Kate have gone out in the evening only once, leaving the children with relatives. He adds that in spite of this he never saw Kate depressed as a result of too much work. He denies that Kate changed her work habits for reasons related to depression. He asserts that his wife never suggested to him that at some time she had the intention of handing Madeleine into the care of a family member."

Can't you just imagine what questions were being asked, when you see it, in context?

It just doesn't work putting all the blame on Amaral, the majority of the Portimao PJ as well as those seconded from HQ in Lisbon were of the same opinion Sadie otherwise the McCanns would not have been brought in and designated as official suspects.

Had the DNA results been positive or more conclusive than they were I believe the next step was to arrest and charge them.  Skin of their teeth is a term which comes to mind.   8(0(*

I am answering a question by Faithfully Stephen.

It is how I understand what was said.

If you notice the word is 'relatives'  with an 's'  not 'relative' as in one relative.  So the fact that one of the baby sitters is a relative is beside the point.

He is saying he has only left Madeleine with relatives once since the twins were born.  'Madeleine' not all three children,  left with relatives with an s only once since the twins were born.

Leaving the children with relatives,  with an s.    This to my way of thinking means leaving them in the house of relatives and not baby sitters coming to the house.   If he meant baby sitters he would have said so.

Well if Gerry meant his house it would have been one relative and he said 'relatives'.   So I don't think he meant that.

It was more than likely he meant leaving them at a relatives house.

Are you really so limited in your understanding of the written word ? Madeleine's gran was talking specifically about her memories of Madelene, that's why she only mentions Madeleine. It doesn't mean that the rest of the family weren't there too. It would be very cruel parents who would send one of their children away, while keeping her siblings at home.

Are you really so limited in your understanding of the written word ? Madeleine's gran was talking specifically about her memories of Madelene, that's why she only mentions Madeleine. It doesn't mean that the rest of the family weren't there too. It would be very cruel parents who would send one of their children away, while keeping her siblings at home.
Faith, sorry but you have lost that argument.

From the written word, it is clear that only Madeleine stayed with her Gran.


And pls stop saying silly things like the parents being cruel in such circumstances.  Madeleine would have been very excited to go, and the twins were young enough not to worry.  Kate and Gerry being such "hands on" parents, they probably had some treat for the twins in store.

That's what I used to do.   
When my little boy went to stay with Gran, then my little girl had special treatment.  Both happy and Mum de-stressed at the same time. 

Not easy with two extremely lively little one less than 18 months apart, but fabulous fun.  Great times.


Must be difficult with 3 little ones so close in age.  Fortunately, Gerry seemed to take his share ... and to enjoy it.

You took the words right out of my mouth Sadie.

I did the same,  so I must be a nasty cruel parent.

At 10 months old the twins wouldn't care at all.   Madeleine would be made to feel special and a big girl going to stay with her Nan.

Your attempt at trying to make the McCann's into nasty cruel parents who were eager to get shot of their eldest daughter,  is failing miserably Faithfully.

It makes me sad to look at the photos of the McCann's before Madeleine disappeared.    They look so happy.

Read my post correctly Lace. I don't think the McCanns were cruel parents, selfish perhaps but not cruel, because i don't think Madeleine stayed, alone, at her gran's over Christmas

 A child being sent to her grandparents at the weekend for a treat I can absolutely understand, especially with two small babies in the house and her parents attention diverted elsewhere but we are talking about Christmas, the twins first Christmas, when Madeleine would, no doubt have delighted in showing her younger siblings how their toys worked etc. Imagine how she would have felt not to be part of that, to be sent away from her parents and siblings at one of the most important family times of the year ? A cruel thing to do, I'm sure you'll agree, if it had happened.

It wouldn't enter your head, would it?, to think it could also been as much of a treat for her Gran, when she had just lost her husband in May 2005. I'm sure Madeleine would have had the time of her life, staying with her gran, and being spoilt rotten. Nor was she dumped, like you insinuate!
She idolises Madeleine, like they all do.

My kids must be cruel parents, leaving their kids to stay with us, for weekends, and holiday's. Its what MOST grandparents love to do. But I class us as a normal caring grandparents. I take it you haven't got children, and your parents aren't grandparents? Or you would know what that bond is like.

Weekends and holidays absolutely, but this was Christmas, their first as a family of five. Imagine how pushed out Madeleine would have felt ?  I don't believe the McCanns would have done that to their daughter and I don't believe for one minute she was sent to her grans alone. From the comment, and the one that follows, I believe Eileen mentioned  Madeleine particularly because she was the subject of the article, I think it is an embellishment on your part to assume the rest of her family weren't with her.

All this to explain away the fact that Gerry was dishonest in his statement. Would an honest person really need this contortion of the facts ?

Who said she was sent to her grans, alone? Thats just stupid, and another way of saying the McCann's palmed her off. I'd expect one of Gerry's family would have fetched her, even Eileen herself. If Madeleine had felt pushed out she would't have wanted to go, or stay.
Of course you think it is an embellishment on my part , it doesn't fit with what you want, it to say.

I think its more likely a dishonest person who wrote Gerry's statement, to fit Amarals theory.

Question for Sadie.   If it was as you described then why was there a suggestion by the PJ that Kate couldn't cope thus why there was talk of having some of the children cared for by another family member?  Was it Kate herself who mentioned this whilst being interviewed informally?

Of course I didn't mean Madeleine travelled to Glasgow alone, that is simply absurd.

As to your interpretation, it simply des not fit with the wording of the article.

'A dishonest person who wrote Gerry's statement.' How ? The original is there for all to see, signed by Gerry. So who, in your opinion was dishonest, not Amaral because he wasn't there at the questioning so who ? The translator ? And why manipulate an innocuous, at the time, answer of Gerry's but leave the part in which they tell Gerry they have a match to Madelein's DNA, in ?

Do you have a link to your statement, re kate saying that, Angelo?

The only one who tried to make that true was, whoever put the question to Gerry. Gerry didn't actually make that statement, it was all done as another way to try and fit Kate up. Shame she coped enough to tell the PJ where to stick the confession threat!

You really should read up on things yourself Angelo, and not just post hearsay!

Had you bothered to read my post it asked two questions.  It did not contain hearsay.

You obviously missed the point.  Someone must have given Mr Amaral the thought that Kate couldn't cope.  He didn't just pluck it out of thin air.

Let's see.  Gerry claimed in his interview that the children were only babysat once while they had a night out yet the babysitter claims it was roughly every two months.  Does it matter??

From Gerry's arguido statement :

-- When confronted with the fact that Madeleine's DNA was collected from behind the sofa and in the boot of the vehicle and analyzed by a British laboratory, situations also described before, he says that he cannot explain.

i have no idea at this "suggestion" by the PJ, but I dont trust the senior guys at Portimao (nor Faro) PJ as far as I could throw them.

Anything that they could twist to fit the Mccanns up seemed to be the order of the day.

My kids stayed overnight with grandparents.  They lived quite  close so it was usually just one night.  It was a real treat and a rest for me.

Cant see what all the problem is, tbh


Angelo, I openly admit that at times I barely coped (my kids didn't sleep) , but I wouldn't have missed those growing up years for the world.

As you know I lost my son to a brain tumour, but I have a beautifully balanced happy daughter, with friends galore.  So I must have done quite a bit right, dontcha think?

He plucked it out of thin air at the arguido meeting, when he lied to Gerry that Madeleines DNA was found in the Car

Would you have sent them to their grandparents for Christmas ? And would you have missed seeing them opening their presents at Christmas ? Miss the delight in their eyes ?

And how would they have got that through a court on the most publicised trial in the world?

The PJ would have been ridiculed from pillar to post throughout the world if a "fit up" was brought to a court.

They get the right judge, who disallows any documents, or witnesses, that would prove the defendants innocent.  Doesn't allow them to be even shown to the Court.
