Madeleine: The Cuddle Cat turns into the Media Tiger


It doesn't add up does it? If we are simply talking about a witness who puts her 3 year old daughter to bed at 7pm on 3rd May 2007, and returns at 10pm to find her missing, why did the questioning last 11 hours? Even allowing for the translation of questions and answers, that is a very long, long, long time. Add to this, that Kate McCann is today to become a formal suspect and to face more questioning by the police. The McCanns have made the point in the media that they are not naive, and yet, it is reported that Kate McCann is surprised that she should be considered a suspect.

"FALSE REPORTS

Investigators also encounter cases involving false allegations of abduction. Typically, a parent or primary caregiver perpetrates these cases. They report a child as missing or abducted to hide their involvement in the child's death or conceal their knowledge of the child's location. Such was the case of Susan Smith, who fastened her two sons into their car seats and watched the car coast into a lake. Subsequently, Smith told police that an armed carjacker had taken both her car and her children. A timely and thorough investigation conducted by experienced law enforcement personnel ultimately proved the fallacy of this allegation. In another case, a mother reported her teenage daughter missing and claimed to have received a telephone ransom demand. An intensive 3-day investigation located the daughter at a friend's house where she had been staying with her mother's knowledge and approval. An overwhelming need for attention appeared to motivate the mother's false report".
