No Gerry had tampered with the shutters BEFORE the police arrived. Just as all and sundry were in the apartment before the police arrived.
I do not know how seeing open shutters being opened again could help find a missing child. There is no justifiable or logical reason for doing that.
In fact a conclusion could be drawn that it was done deliberately because there is no other viable reason for them to be touched.
Nobody is saying professional people do not have the same feelings as anyone else. What i am saying is that as doctors they are trained to function under pressure and stress and to be able to manage those feelings.
In your fireman analogy you said when a fireman found his child DEAD. Unless you are comparing Gerry finding his child DEAD your analogy is not valid.
Which is why i wondered if you were tacitly admitting you believed Gerry found Madeleine dead?
Gerry didn't 'tamper' with the shutters, he checked them to see if they could be raised from outside - which must have taken him a matter of seconds. I've explained why I think he may have done that - so I'm not going to repeat it.
You quite clearly said that professionals would not/should not react the same as other people to a terrible shock concerning one of their children. My analagy was to portray that loving parents' professions have no bearing on sudden shock involving their childlren - no matter what the cause of that acute shock may be. Death or abduction are both monumental shocks in anyone's book.
Of course I don't think Madeleine was found dead in the apartment - because if her parents were cold, cruel and calculating enough to decide to dispose of her body, then they would have coldly and calmly devised a much simpler plan to cover that up - than the super-complicated, convoluted one which is put forward.
That elephant in the room just won't go away will it?
