Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

which impliess she was out of the boat.

Greatly exaggerated event and far from the truth I suspect.

not necessarily completely out...hyprbole as I suggested....but an independent witness places her sailing on the 3rd

it seems a point once described as trivial by you is suddenly important enough to debate

[faithlilly]

someone leaning over the side could well be described as being dragged baack into the boat

“Jess losing her straw summer hat in the sea and Madeleine launching herself in to recover it for her much to the alarm of the kids club staff.....”

No apology necessary.

From the Independent, re the Netflix documentary -

“They were of a similar age and they became thick as thieves,” Berry says on the documentary.

“I remember they had been out sailing, which I thought was quite brave of the kids’ club that they took them out on the sea. They were together in the boat.

“Jessie’s only real recollection of the holiday was Jess lost her straw summer hat in the sea and Madeleine launching herself into the sea to recover it for her — much to the alarm of the kids’ club staff who swiftly grabbed her and dragged her back into the boat.”

Thank you for verifying my recollection.

Whilst I am puzzled by that alleged new photo of Madeleine, from Neil Berry, because I don't recognise the location.  Further, I can't fathom why the kids would erect a pool, when there was a perfectly good kid's pool close to block 5.
 

you need to think laterally...first..is it  a pool or some other inflatable...second...pools arent always filled with water...sometimes balls

A four year old is hardly likely to launch herself into the sea.  Madeleine was on the boat, which seems to be the only point worth noting.

How about a four year old who was learning to swim at home and loved it? She has been pictued wearing her armbands. Her mother told us she insisted on swimming in the outdoor pool the first day. So yes, a child that age being fitted into a life jacket which inflates like armbands and taken out on the sea wouldn't hesitate imo. The prigramme makes thought so too. As Berry spoke they played a clip of a child actually landing in the water with a splash. .

It is surely a parachute?
It's very similar to one used in Primary schools.
I used this often in gymn lessons.

The details of the incident are irrelevant.
The fact is that Madeleine was alive and well on this day.
It does rather put paid to the nonsense of the researcher's nonsense on CMOMM.
But then nonsense it always was!

I believe you're right. On Sunday 29th the Lobster's itinerary says 'Parachute Grass Time 10am-11am.



As an aside, on Monday 30th at the same time it says 'Mini Tennis Grass Time'. Although the Minis are reported to have played on the main courts, there's no mention of that on their timetable.

And anyone with a scintilla of sense knew that.

Don't do it..... It will lower your IQ.

I'm halfway through episode 7 & have learned practically nothing I didn't already know. Where is the yawn emoji?!

Watched the first three parts last night which consisted of regurgitated old footage intersprinkled with comments by Summers and Swann, Jim Gamble, Sandra Felgueiras, Gonçalo Amaral and a few others.  I thought this was supposed to be a piece of investigative journalism but all it appears to be is a story telling?  Red Riding Hood would be of more interest.

Watching the final episode, it is claimed by Swan & Summers that Matt Oldfield heard a noise in the childrens bedroom during his check. As if to suggest an abductor was present.

This is utter horse shit. Nowhere in his statement, during the rogatory interview, nor, during the McCanns own reconstruction, Madeleine Was Here, does Oldfield ever mention such a thing.

Is that it then, $20 million dollars down the drain for this?  Have they not made any determination as to what really happened or as I suspect they are afraid of potential litigation?

[John]

Hooray. I've finished watching it all now.

Here is my overall synopsis, It is a load of rehashed guff. If you know about the case & think you may learn more from watching it, I'm here to tell you, you wont.

If you're thinking of watching it, don't. There are better ways to spend 8 hours of your life.
Like reading a good book, going for a long walk in the countryside or perhaps repeatedly inserting red hot pokers into your eyeballs.

Bet those who took part did very nicely financially out of Madeleine again.
