I cannot believe that I am reading this. "Madeleine McCann's parents have called on police to tell them about evidence that reportedly contradicts the belief that their daughter was abducted". What arrogance! The McCanns are well aware that "Under Portuguese law, police are not allowed to speak publicly about the details of an investigation". So, why are they appealing to the BBC in an attempt to get the Portugese police to break their own National law? Furthermore, even if this was not the case, it is a bit rich coming from suspects demanding that the police give them details of their investigations into their own wrongdoing. It is misplaced that the McCanns demand that the police present evidence to them which contradicts their belief that Madeleine was abducted. For one thing, the McCanns are not in charge of the police investigation, the police are. For another, the police have checked the McCanns belief that Madeleine was abducted and have rejected this belief on the grounds that the police have evidence to the contrary. There was no evidence of the break-in which the McCanns claimed took place, and the Mark Warner staff also checked for signs of a break-in and they could not find any evidence either. Perhaps, there is evidence that the McCanns are in denial?
From the outset, the McCanns have not played their cards straight. And, they have the cheek to claim that the police are not putting all their cards on the table. Gerry McCann states: "I had a fairly strong belief that there was a lack of evidence, certainly initially, that there was no evidence of serious harm and I do not know of any specific evidence now that alters that.
"I think, as parents, if there is evidence then we need to know about it."
The couple have met detectives twice this week but are understood to be frustrated by a lack of clear information.
It is obvious that the McCanns are prime suspects. If and when the police are ready to arrest and charge the McCanns, then they will find out the case they have to answer.
"When Madeleine first went missing, reaction to the fact that her parents were not in the apartment that night was muted. It was perhaps felt that it would be in bad taste to criticise parents at such an awful time". However, as this article shows, criticisms are valid because the McCanns were not able to keep an eye on their children in the apartment from the Tapas Bar. Therefore, it is pure nonsense to read this: "For us it just felt like we were dining in the garden," said Gerry. A holiday resort in Portugal open to all and sundry, and Gerry McCann likened it to his private garden in Leicestershire where it only measures a few yards?
"There has been criticism in some quarters that the couple's media campaign has been too slick, but the McCanns point out that less than £70,000 has been spent so far on staff, accommodation, transport and communications. McGuinness is being paid. So too are two others fielding thousands of media calls in the UK".
The McCanns latest gimmick is linking up with "Google, YouTube and the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) in the US to set up what they believe will become a global central database of missing children". If the McCanns were in the clear it would be laudable that they are getting involved in trying to find missing children. The YouTube site is called don'tyouforgetaboutme. I cannot forget, at least, how negligent the McCanns were in the disappearance of Madeleine. But, all this setting up a business appears as though they are exploiting the missing Madeleine.
Kate McCann has made another nonsense statement: "This speculation and the actions of the Portuguese press has been hurtful, intrusive and disrespectful to our other two children. The press here have badly overstepped any reasonable line". I don't think that the two year old twins feel that at all. It's a cover to try and hide behind the 2 year olds. What is really needed is for Gerry and Kate McCann to come out into the open and start being truthful about what they really know about the disappearance of Madeleine.
Mother guilty of the brutal murder of her 4 year old daughter.
