I agree that using the media is one way, and a powerful one, for the McCanns or any parents missing a child to highlight the issue and to get the child's face out into the public domain.


But what is odd, to me anyway, is why were the media called before the police?


The Telegraph was running the story on their website as an abduction at the same time as the first policemen were arriving at the scene.

Now the phone records of both the hotel and the emergency records were presented in the report and both showed the call to the police as happening at 23:50.

The police were recorded as having arrived at the scene roughly ten minutes after the call was made, something both the McCanns and the police agree on. But the English media were already able to have all the details on the child, the McCanns and that it was an abduction before the police even started the investigation.

It just strikes me as odd that the media back in England would be rang before the local police on such a thing.

And it also strikes me as strange that a child found missing at 22:00 and whose mother was sure straight away that it was an abduction, would not be reported to the police for another hour and fifty minutes.

Now that does not mean the McCanns are guilty of doing something to the child, but the fact that the call times are present in the report and that they clash badly with the McCanns timeframe does present the potential for doubt.

The other thing is the McCann's are criticising the police for not sealing of the scene. If it took nearly 2 hours and that many people in and out it nearly sounds pointless as it was contaminated long before they arrived, it's a bit rich to blame the police.

There is going to be another investigation isn't there?

David Cameron can't re-open the case. There is an argument that he shouldn't have even requested the Met to do anything.

All they are doing is reviewing the case. I don't think any new evidence will be searched for.

It may also be noted that the Met had nothing to do with the original case.

Nope. Press hype. Kate McCann has a book to sell.

'crying in previous evening and twins not waking' - Kate McCann was talking about that yesterday on BBC Radio 4 ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01115hc ) She said that, with hindsight, she thought there may have been an aborted abduction attempt the night before, causing the children's crying, and that the abductor then drugged them the next night and successfully abducted Madeleine. That sounds at least as believable as any other scenario, and more believable than the idea that they heavily sedated their kids in the first place,

You cannot be serious.

Someone tried to abduct a child, failed and came back the next night, somehow drugged the children and took one? And you think this is more likely than any other scenario? That because they are doctors they cannot make a mistake, but if they were junkies, well, all bets are off. How very Sky of you.....

tonight

In the US those two bastards would be in prison for reckless endangerment of a minor...probably for perjury and interfering with a crime scene too.

What carried the case in their favour was good-old fashioned British racism..the media regarded the Portugese authorities as a bunch of incompetant,unshaven,lazy Manuel-style characters who bungled the investigation and cannot be trusted.

Had this "abduction" happened on mainland Britain they'd have both been cherged ages ago.

thier on next!

This is there first time on Irish television.

She was into roleplay bad choice of words Gerry!

cute_cow

Just a quick question. Do they believe Madeline is still alive?
And if so, why continue speaking about her past tense? Personally if it was my child, and I beleived she was still alive, no way I wud be talking in the past tense.
Or is it just me being to padantic?

Nope, it's amazing the amount of people who think leaving 3 toddlers home alone, 2 knowingly who were in distress previously as fine. Plenty of Irish people seem to think it's fine too.

Oh, it'll just be wrote of as a mistake when the kept doing it.

RHunce

In fairness they are talking about the past what she was like as a baby and then between then and she went missing, eg. it wouldn't make sense to say she has very bad colic as a baby!
