What was the point of the arguido questions asked of Kate and Gerry McCann?

[Mr Gray]

On gardening leave, just popping in twice a month to deal with emergencies?

Is it feasible that his regular work as a cardiologist wasn't in the emergency ward, but that he did two shifts a month in one? Or is that too far-fetched?

I wasn't  being serious... More like Gerry worked 15 days on and then several days off.... Looks like very poor translation of his actual statement

Neither was I. ;)

I had a look at the original, but I still don't find it clear.

In the light of the general gist of the questions, IMO, they could have been more interested in how many night shifts he could have worked (Kate being left with three toddlers and potentially blowing a fuse).

Despite the fact that Kate didn't answer many of the arguido questions, I find the "TdeA report", submitted shortly thereafter, gives a potential insight into what the PJ were trying to establish.

As a consultant, he would be unlikely to work any night shifts, though he would have on-call duties, a very different thing

And still difficult  to see the relevance of these questions

That's an amazing find rob... You are obviously  much more perceptive than I gave you credit for... So why was, Gerry only working once every 15 days... Very strange

Was Gerry on restricted duties.... Was he under investigation

I was thinking the interpreter may have misunderstood the arrangement.  Could it be 15 days on and 15 days off?

[Robittybob1]

Doesn't say once every fifteen days though does it.

But what it says, what does it mean?

[Mr Gray]

Just chatting to my son... Ex hospital doctor... And he said it just doesn't make any sense at all... No one works 15 days in a row and Gerry was a cardiologist so wouldn't work in the... Emergency room... He also said... Why are you still on that forum

[sadie]

Why are you still on that forum

   Just the same with my family, so I generally come on late at night

[sadie]

Are you pointing the finger at Gerry?

IMO, with all the money spent on the case in the past few months [about ? £400,000]  I think that it is totally ill conceived to even consider that SY are honing in on Gerry.  If they had one of the Tapas Group in their sights, then it would have all been tied up long ago IMO.

So many people witnessed where each member of that group was virtually all through the holiday that SY and the Porto PJ special group must know each members exact movements long ago.

With their faces plastered all over the media, every possible witness would recognise them.

For an expert police Force like the Met. finding enough info to charge a single person would be easy peasy IMO; they do it every day.

With such a major amount being spent since they got onto this latest phase, it has to be a large organised group that is being sorted out IMO.   Now that would be demanding.


Tbh, it is crazy to even think that they have spent all this (later) money to try and charge Gerry or any of the others in the group.  It defies logic.

That's kids for you.

Gerry's arguido questions:   I still think he blew it though.

"--- The third check was made by Kate at around 22:00. He does not know how long it was before Kate returned, but he does remember that shortly before she returned he was thinking of going to see what was going on, as it seemed a long time and he thought that one of children might have woken up. "

I have previously looked into how long the others think Kate was taking and most answers were under 5 minutes.  So why was Gerry getting impatient?  Even if one of the kids had woken up Kate was more than capable of putting the child back to bed.
Gerry I think you failed on that one.

Good point,the impatience could have been -  when kmccann returned it was all systems go.

Like anticipation of waiting for something to happen,  a minute can seem like eternity.

It's amazing that SY and the PJ can't spot these blatant clear signs that you armchair  detectives can

why was he concerned, i mean he wasn't concerned leaving the children in the first place.

Bit late at the end of the night - when it was to late.

He had no reason to think anything was wrong, when he took just as long himself.

[kizzy]

If she had answered these simple questions,maybe it would have shown how long she was.

2. Did you search inside the bedroom wardrobe? (she replied that she wouldn’t answer)

3. (shown 2 photographs of her bedroom wardrobe)
Can you describe its contents?

4. Why had the curtain behind the sofa in front of the side window (whose photo was shown to her) been tampered with?
Did somebody go behind that sofa?

5. How long did your search of the apartment take after you detected your daughter Madeleine’s disappearance?

6. Why did you say from the start that Madeleine had been abducted?

7. Assuming Madeleine had been abducted, why did you leave the twins home alone to go to the ‘Tapas’ and raise the alarm?
Because the supposed abductor could still be in the apartment.

8. Why didn’t you ask the twins, at that moment, what had happened to their sister, or why didn’t you ask them later on?

9. When you raised the alarm at the ‘Tapas’ what exactly did you say and what were your exact words?

[Robittybob1]

So why do you think Gerry was so worried Davel?
