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

[Robittybob1]

Were you there when Gerry arrived to discover his daughter was no longer in the room and the window open?  If not then you have no idea what he thought or said out loud, but it is not  an reasonable assumption when you think someone has stolen something from your house and the window is open to think that the thief entered by the open window.

Therefore don't touch the shutters.  Close the window and shut the curtains, but don't touch those blinds.

Thought it was Kate who discovered this.

Kate first then Gerry.

Kate first then Gerry.

Technically, the open window can only be discovered once - in this case by Kate.

Not really.

[jassi]

Not really.

Yes really, once something has been discovered, it can't be discovered again as it's existence is already known.

In this case, as Gerry was second on the scene he would only be able to confirm Kate's claim, not discover it for himself.

However, merely a pedantic point, so do carry on.

Gerry would have had his own moment of discovery, when arriving at the scene, wouldn't he?

Yes of course.  Gerry should immediately have declared the room a crime scene, ushered everyone out of the apartment and called 911 straight away.  That's what any sane logical person would have done, fancy allowing himself a few moments of panicked irrationality on discovering his daughter missing.

According to Gerry their medical training was to get help, which is why Kate ran to the Tapas and left the twins. His first priority seems to have been working out how it might have happened rather than immediately raising the alarm.

Confirmation of Kates discovery.

Didn't Kate's screams of anguish raise the alarm?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Confirmation of Kates discovery.

Call it what you like, I think you know what I meant.

PJ statement 4th May.

Faced with this situation,she verified that the twins were in their respective beds, unlike Madeleine, who had disappeared. The cover was pulled back and the toys were on the pillow as usual. After searching the whole apartment thoroughly, the interviewee went back, scared and shocked, to the restaurant, to alert her husband and the others to the disappearance. The whole group then set about searching for Madeleine throughout the complex, looked in all the buildings, swimming pool, tennis courts etc....as well as in the apartment with the help of employees, who, at the same time, contacted the authorities.

Oh it is very important, in my theory it becomes important and it was important to him too as he mentions it in two statements.  If he had given his reason that "he was concerned one of the kids had got up and exited the apartment, and Kate might be terrified as to where the child has gone", then I think there would be a good reason for concern.  For every minute wasted on looking in the apartment is another minute where the child could get lost on the outside.

He said he looked under the beds, but isn't it physically impossible for a child to crawl under those beds.

Why is it that you will NEVER EVER consider the fact that Madeleine might have been abducted ?  And thinking back I don't believe you ever have

You came on here telling us that you were open minded and wanted to find the truth, but NEVER do you even consider the possibility of abduction by a third party.

Are you doing a SIL on us?



Are you a wolf in sheeps clothing, perchance?   I am wondering if you have been listening to too much propaganda put out by people who gladly twist the truth.  Maybe SIL did too?

I accept an abduction, but one that originates after a woke and wandered situation.  It is just a more complicated situation to start with.
