Could all three children have been sedated by an intruder?

[G-Unit]

In their original rogatory questions the PJ's questions to the FLO's were more detailed. Following a request by Stuart Prior, those questions were deleted and replaced with the one question suggested by Prior. Even so, two of the FLO's went a bit further and gave some detail. I wonder why Prior felt it necessary to change the questions to be asked?

The public Prosecutor of the Portimao jurisdiction in Portugal, requests to the competent judicial authorities in the United Kingsom in complement with the Letter of Request despatched under official 3704438 dated of the 23/01/2008 to omit and replace the questions formulated under point XIV (only in replacement of part (N| 7) where it inquired "Can you point out any incident with Kate or Gerald McCann?", XVI and XXII with the new wording, due to formal imperatives and main request of the responsible for the accomplishment of the Letters of Request, Mr Stuart Prior, which the translation refers to.

Point XIV - remove the question n| 7, replacing it by the following: "Was there anything said or done by Kate or Gerald McCann in your presence or during any contact with them that raised any suspicion that they had any knowledge of what happened to Madeleine, other than of the circumstances described to the Portuguese investigators?"

So is it your opinion that the only words spoken by Kate and Gerry on the subject to the FLO were:
“We question whether there is any suggestion that drugs were used to facilitate Madeleine’s abduction”?

That’s what FLO reported, that the McCanns had questioned.... if they had asked if they had been drugged, IMO the FLO would have reported such.

If the PJ hadn't had to amend their questions the FLO's may have been able to give more information. The original questions can't be seen in full, but ;it's possible to see enough to suggest that the answers would have clarified what was said;

The thread is veering Off Topic ... please make the attempt to stick to discussion of whether or not all three children had been sedated by an intruder.  Thank you

Of course they would. Why didn’t they also request that the twins be tested for drugs ?

[Robittybob1]

Your last paragraph isn’t a question to the FLOs, “have the twins been drugged” though.

"any suggestion" would include drugging the twins IMO.  There was no way to directly run tests on Madeleine.

Who knows the precise words used - this is fourth or fifth hand reporting.

What did you mean precisely?  What do you mean " this is fourth or fifth hand reporting"?

Why would they ask the FLO if they had been drugged?

That is what is being suggested IMO. The FLO’s were the first to be informed of the suspicion of drugging.

Sorry, I’m following.  The McCanns raised the issue of the possibility that sedation may have played a part in Madeleine’s disappearance with the FLOs the next day and this is problematical because...?

It wasn't the next day it was at the very least 2 days later Vertigo Swirl.

Except the cites show they didn’t.

[faithlilly]

Wonder if they continued with ‘because we believe our remaing children were drugged too. We did tell the officers on the night but they seem to have ignored us. Please could you ask the PJ if they’ll have them tested”.........no I don’t think so either.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Except the cites show they didn’t.

Why not?  That’s exactly what the cite shows -what am I missing?
