Madeleine McCann

Absolutely true, everyone makes mistakes. In fact one of my earliest memories was being left outside nursery for an hour as my mum didn’t realise the times had changed, I was sat on the doorstep waiting for an hour in the middle of a town, anything could have happened.

I agree we should start to wind up this now, our views aren’t too dissimilar, it’s just I think we should give them more of a benefit of the doubt as it may have felt different if we were part of the group.

Another theory that I’ve thought of...the McCanns had Maddy via IVF and they are devout Catholics. Now the Catholic Church tends to be suspicious about things like IVF so maybe the McCanns were mindful of this and Gerry was mindful of the rumours that Maddy wasn’t his and given that they just had the twins via more ‘natural’ methods, maybe they decided to fly to Portugal and give Maddy away to an international paedophile ring?

Did you not stop and think back when you finished typing that?

Was that the walking distance or as the crow flies?

Good point, I’m not sure.

It would make sense another 7.38m to be added for walking distance.

I’ve found this from a fact checking website:

Summary of Verifiable Facts

  1. The McCanns never said they could "see their children's room".
  2. The McCann's apartment could be seen from their dining table at the Tapas Bar.
  3. The McCann's apartment was 77.38 metres from their dining table not 120 "yards" (a yard is 0.9144 metres).
“It seemed a fairly natural sort of thing to do, it was so close," Gerry McCann said. "You could actually see the apartment and it didn't feel that different to dining out in the back garden. It was the furthest thing from my mind that something like that might happen."
He added: "We have to live with the fact that we weren't directly there and if we were then you know possibly, probably it wouldn't have happened."

I think the quote is where I draw a level of empathy and my only position on it really.

I appreciate the circumstances aren’t perfect though.

those quotes are from interviews at a later date, where by he has had time to think about what would be the more appropriate

OK
I could say the same about every parent who smokes in front of their kids every parent who gives their kids fizzy drinks or sweets every parent who had a drink whilst pregnant etc etc etc.
The fact is that it is very very common and the above have put kids at far greater risk statistically than having a child in an unlocked room.

I’m no longer surprised by people who think like you .

Have you seen their house? It probably is

Did they have their binoculars with them or a telescope? And were they equipped with NVG?
Here's the view from where they were sat. The apartment is to the left of the light through the window.

Gerry confirms in the documentary that he’s “not particularly religious” when they’re attending one of the gatherings at the Portuguese church. Not sure on Kate but he’s definitely not devout.

Are you making this up as you go along?

There was only 5 photos of Madeline from that holiday that were passed onto the portugese police. 3 were verified from the first day (as the they had the same clothes on from footage taken when they got off the plane), then there was 'tennis ball' photo and finally the pool photo.
Please point me in the direction of any other photos from that holiday, because as far as i am aware all the other photos used by the media wasn't from that holiday.

Weren’t they asked for all of the tapas 7’s cameras by the police and only provided a USB stick with only 100 pictures on which included the only 5 of Maddie?
