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

I feel the documentary could have gone so much further. Naughty of me I know, but I did approve of the not so subtle way in which they used Amaral's statements to camera against him without any commentator having to say a word ... the film said it all.  Condemned from his own mouth?

He certainly comes across very badly and quite sinister too IMO.

I think Patrick Kennedy thought he was in the wild west, chasing supposed paedophiles around and kicking doors down, he knew what they were doing was illegal but didn't care anyway. What an idiot!  Money sure does inspire arrogance.

Brian Kennedy interfering with a material witness and suspect takes the biscuit.  Bugging Murat's car should have seen them all arrested, maybe soon.

I have always found the involvement of the Kennedys curious.  Why would the multi millionaire Mr Everest Double Glazing involve himself and his son Patrick to the extent he did.  Was he after the publicity?

Doesn't/didn't he have a big villa in Luz?

Arrested by whom?

He explained why in the programme.  He wanted to help.  Maybe he is just a kind man with the resources to help a family in distress.  Is that so hard to believe, or is everyone associated with the McCanns a complete shit in your book?

Was it just coincidence that Malinka's car was torched when M3 were chasing him all over the Algarve?

I think Kennedy was completely out of his depth and should have concentrated his efforts on rugby and double glazing.  All he did was muddy the waters and alienate potential witnesses.

He achieved absolutely nothing despite the promises and boasts made by his agents M3.

I’m sure he would have been grateful of the advice if only you could have given it sooner.

Ok, thanks. I just thought I remembered reading he had a connection with a big new villa in Luz.

Unless you think he can read Portuguese I suggest you accept my post.

We do not have a, record of what Gerry actually said in English... If you want to accept they are accurate it's up to you.. Afaiac... We don't know..
What we do know is..
Colin Sutton suggested the room for error was enormous
Rebelo questioned their accuracy
Kate said. The statements were not accurate and they gave new ones to Control risks ..
We also know that in the UK statements are recorded in the witness own language... Signed.. Then translated.. To avoid any errors
You have your view and I have mine..

[Mr Gray]

That sounds like a great idea, I'll stick with my read, signed and ratified document and you stick with Colin Sutton's suggestion.

Obviously he didnt read it as it was in portuguese

Interesting Kennedy section. Kennedy believed that Tanner’s sighting was the most important piece of evidence in the case. Of course we now know that at least one of the parent’s sets of PIs thought Tanner wasn’t a credible witness and that OG has all but debunked the ‘Tannerman as the abductor’ premise.

Kennedy commissioned the Tannerman efit and went all gung-ho to get it out in the media. If there was ever an example of why the public shouldn’t get involved in police work this is it.

Also interesting was when the film of Tanner’s sighting was shown there was absolutely no mention of her seeing Gerry. I think even the producers thought that would be stretching credibility a little too far.

Kennedy has said that Tanner saw the carriers face.  This we know was false.

It’s not important.  The programme makes it clear Gerry had alibis at the time of the Smith sighting, do try to accept this.
