Yes there is a lot more to this case than meets the eye I think. I am not personally taken in my all their carry on and neither is anyone else I speak to. As I have said before it has only taken this long for them to come under the eye of suspicion due the position they hold in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owenwill Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Very strange, much as you don't want to think of the poor kids parents having anything to do with her disapearance it's looking more and more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Need to be very careful what we say on this site - or any site - about this. They are already taking a defamation action against a newspaper. Funnily enough, I am a specialist on defamation law and the media (among other things - though I am not a lawyer), and anything that suggests we are even hinting at guilt on anyone's part and are transmitting it in a publishable form is defemation and the writer and the whole site could be taken to court. ******* pompous I know, but there it is.

08shooter Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 call me suspicious but i always had my doubts about the parents, it mwould be awful after all this if they had something to do with it.i never ever thought of this woman being absolutely distraught at the abduction of the little girl.she always seemed quite calm.i imagine if i had kids and one was abducted id be inconsolable and climbing the walls.all the same whoever it was she looked like a little angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If found guilty I wonder if the Portugese justice system will give them life as it is meant to be served? D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Be careful. I am not of a trusting disposition especially when it comes to journos or the police and especially the Portugese police. Statistically crimes of this nature are more likely to be carried out by people connected / known to the victim and I am wondering what message the Portugese police are sending? That being said, and being cynical I think it is their get out for a bungled investigation - they couldn't pin it on the local Brit who is single and living with his mum (ideal patsy?) and now with no other suspects they still need to wrap this up and close it down albeit "unsolved". What better way than to announce a complete climb down and closure of the investigation following the arrest, questioning and release of the parents - leave it all up in the air and have everyone saying "oh it must have been them but the police can't prove it". They have timed it right just as the world and the press turn on the McCanns. Hang on though, what about the supposed number 1 suspect they had last month - the single Brit living with his mum? Ten quid says there is an announcement in less than 2 months that with no further arrests or evidence the investigation is being wrapped up. Remember Peter Falconio? At the time the Aussies had no one in their sites. With the help of the press the Australian Police smeared Joanne Lees and made it look as though she was involved / connected. Didn't we all think at the time there was something funnny about it all and the police knew but couldn't prove it and all those other cliches.............. oh how so wrong eh? I still feel sorry for the McCanns and believe them innocent until proven guilty - if they are innocent whatever lapses in ideal parenting they may or may not have committed can be forgiven because they will carry around with them the guilt of leaving their child alone for too long. I don't think I like them that much and I don't like Mr. McCann's voice but that's not what it's all about. Be careful, I smell us all being mugged off by the Portugese police who haven't got an F'in Danny LaRue what to do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 as mungler says I don't agree with a lot of the way they have carried on both before and after her disapearance and the more I read in the papers the more I don't know what to think. The way our press behaves these days leads me to despise the way its trial by media and our government seems to be run by them. The one thing that I can't get my head arround is her parents deliberately killing her and I can't see them as being that kind of people. So that leads to was she accidentally killed perhaps in a rage by a parent because she was misbehaving etc at that age they can be pretty infuriating at times. Then the parents thought they would go down for murder and hid the body and made this all up but that seems pretty far fetched to me. All in all I reckon she is gone and if she's found it won't be alive. The worst thing is if they are innocent and only they will know then how must they feel being the object of so much suspicion while absolutely desperate to hear of their daughters whereabouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troosers Too Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Mungler - you are dead right! The Portugese police & the Brittish gutter press have turned this horrible, tragic situation into a farce. Remember that the original suspect (lone Brit living with mum) was originally fingered by a British tabloid journalist & the police latched onto him like a page three girl on a Chelsea player. I wonder if we'll ever know what happened to the poor little girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 All you need to remember is Peter Falconio. At the time I was younger, slimmer and more naive and yes I was one of those who thought that Joanne Lees was in it upto her eyeballs. In the meantime I got fatter, saw a few more things, got wiser and now believe nothing the police or the press say or do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I dont doubt that the child was abducted and was smuggled out of the country before the Portugese police took it seriously. I suspect the abductor is someone known personally by the parents or who they have come across in their working life, and knew where the child was. I am afraid Madeline is probably in the care of new parents and can only hope that she is being raised as one of their own. The only consilation to the Parents if this is the case is that she is young enough to forget all this very quickly. I personally cant believe that the Parents have any connection with the dissapearance at all, and the Portugese Police appear to have been all but useless in pursuing this case, they should have admitted as such and handed it over to Scotland Yard long before now. Can any of us begin to imagine what Kate McCann must be experiencing??? Thats if she is innocent of course !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I've heard that because of the discovery of the girl's blood in the hire car that the McCann's only hired 25 days after the disappearance of her daughter that she could be charged with "involvement" in her daughter's death/disappearance.

Mungler Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Give it a couple of weeks, it will blow over, no case will be brought and that's when the investigation will close and the Portugese police ge their "out" and leaving it so that the rest of the world think that the McCanns were in on it. In the meantime, I wonder if the Portugese police have apologised to Robert Murat for previously issuing him an "arguida"? What this needs is some good old fashioned evidence and some "unbotched" police work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
