Another very strange thing was that when Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, was made an arguido in Portugal, the police interviewed her and she was asked 48 questions about her daughter's disappearance – all of which she refused to answer ...

I am sure people may argue that she was probably worried that she may (accidentally or intentionally?) incriminate herself. However, if your child is missing, would you not divulge any and every little piece of information you think may help find her? Unless of course you know that she will never be found, because you have knowledge of what happened to her ...

i was reading those questions last night or was it the night before and i cannot understand why she refused to answer them, was it because she was alone and not sure what hubby would have said if he was asked the very same 48 questions?

By implication, one - or both - were not telling the truth if they felt they had to get their versions 'in line with each other' !
 
To me, apart from the 48 unanswered questions, which still need answering, Kate McCanns recent blog of Jan 15, 2010 says it all.

The dogs: We realise that the behaviour of the dogs was the turning point in the investigation for the PJ. The use of dogs has proved to be problematic and unreliable in previous cases

(please refer to the Jersey ‘Haut de La Garenne' case and other research published about their use and reliability). It is vital to note that alerts by such dogs are classified as intelligence rather than evidence, as police officers familiar with their use will verify. These alerts must be supported by forensics in order to be used as evidence. The results of the forensic examinations did not identify any blood or Madeleine's DNA. To suggestor use the dogs´ reactions as evidence is simply wrong and abusive
.

BUT:Why don't they give us proof that Eddie and Keela are not reliable, when the history of their careers as sniffer dogs shows they are extremely reliable

The dogs identified 7 times. Odds of them being wrong on a 95% accuracy rate (probably below their true rate) would be 64 million to 1 I think if I recall a 3A discussion correctly. They did not identify anywhere else. If the McCanns are right, they can only really be right by accusing their handler of malpractice (and they are very careful not to do that).

The dogs were not wrong about human remains in the Jersey case (and all others by the way). There were teeth found which would have had blood and tissue attached.


More comments I agree with:



Kate and Gerry both continue to emphasize "evidence" rather than making clear statements of fact, answering the questions the police asked, returning to PdL for the reconstruction etc. If this is not evidence of their confidence in the COVER-UP, I would like to know what is.

Although the McCanns are counting on only "legally admissible evidence, there is plenty of common sense and logical evidence they are involved in Maddie's disappearance. Some examples:

"They've taken her" - immediate cry from Kate.

Kate's fingerprint was the only one on the window.

The bruises clearly visible on Kate's wrist and arms in photos taken the first few weeks.

Eddie, the cadaver dog alerted on Kate's clothing, the floor near the window, a shelf in the parent's bedroom (where a large blue sports is seen in the first crime photos and which is then missing from the shelf) the ground outside the window, on a piece of cloth found in the SECOND apartment used by the McCanns, on their rental car, on the key fob to that car and on "cuddle cat."

Keela, the blood dog, alerted to the same areas as had been noted by the cadaver dog - indicating the presence of blood in those spots.

The apartment evidence was sent to the British forensic lab - who first said there was a 15/19 marker indicating it was Madeleine's blood found.
(then, mysteriously, it was ruled as "contaminated" much to the Portugese Police surprise)

The McCann's calls made to family announcing the JEMMIED windows.

Jane Tanner's frequent changes to the description of the "abductor". The fact that Tanner did not IMMEDIATELY alert searchers. The fact that Tanner changed the DIRECTION she claimed the "abductor" was walking.

Gerry McCann and Jane Tanner's disagreement about where McCann was standing talking to Wilkins and the fact that neither Wilkins nor McCann saw Tanner and that at least one restaurant employee stated that Tanner never left the table before Kate began screaming.

The complete black-out of the Smith sighting, in contrast to all the other bogus sightings pursued by the McCann "ex-SAS" investigators.

Metodo3, McCann lead investigator, charged in connection to drug trafficking in Spain.

Brian Kennedy's meetings with the Smith family and Murat.

Tapas 9's refusal to take part in the police reconstruction.

Kate McCann's refusal to answer the 48 questions.

Kate's call to police re: her dream and the location of Maddie's body.

The inconsistencies in the Tapas timeline, scribbled on the cover of Madeleine's coloring book - indicating knowledge she would never again need it.

British suppression of the Gaspar's statement re: David Payne.

Kate and Gerry McCann's erased telephone calls.

McCann satisfaction with the work done by Kevin Halligen and yet he was said to have only produced Google images and NONE of the hotline phone records were even checked. Although the McCanns are suing Amaral and have sued British newspapers, they are not pursuing any charges against Kevin Halligen.

The statements made by the McCanns, Mitchell and others about Raymond Hewlett - in some cases outright lies, based on stories that were planted in the press by Peter Verran (ex-Scots guard) and the Thompsons.

The luggage compartment of the McCann rental car left open to air every day.

And on it goes.

This is not a case of an innocent couple being vilified by a "disgraced cop". It is a case of a highly suspicious couple, most likely involved in the hiding of their daughter's body (if not directly doing the work of it, knowing it was done and by whom) vilifying a professional, intelligent and courageous police officer who has refused to be bullied into silence.

BUT the most interesting food for thought is this.

If they so wish, the investigation could be reopened at their request. Yet they refuse to request it.

All in all, this does not look like people who are seriously interested in doing everything possible to find their daughter.

Does it look like it to YOU?
 
If the parents did it, why, where's the body, and how did it get there.

Why - several theories were posted, from an accidental overdose to a parent losing their cool and slapping her, leading her to fall and die from e.g. head trauma, to sexual abuse ..

Where is the body - buried or cremated or thrown into the ocean ...

How did it get there - the parents had approx. a two hour window period (18:00 to 20:00) and a friend or firiends who may have assisted.
 
would be great to know what actually happened to madeline , i hope the truth comes out one day and everyone invloved gets closure. i really would love to know what really happened that night.
 
Yes, one day the truth will come out.

Cases of this publicity calibre are hot stuff for cold case detectives, one day someone will find the truth and give the victims closure and peace.
 
one dude checked on the kids twice so who says he did not do something to maddy?
