    Kind of makes you wonder what the high fees for the private investigators are for if they aren't going to bother going out.

    It's the cushiest job going. ;)

    I think it's awful how people make jokes about the McCanns killing their child when there is no evidence to suggest this.

    As for saying they're unfit because they left them in a hotel room, I'd say many a parent has put their child to bed then headed down to a hotel bar without any incidents happening at all. You just wouldn't think being so close that anything could go wrong.

    Do you not think that it is something they will regret for the rest of their lives?

    As for this story, I agree it's a pile of tosh but I can't believe people would try and snatch a child from it's parents - that's just atrocious if you have no evidence to back it up. If I had children and someone tried to snatch them, I'd flip! I don't care who they thought it was - that's just so scary for the poor child and her parents.

    So where the **** is the kid if she is still alive then?
    Probably adopted by a white couple living in a small town in a huge country like India...

    She isn't going to be found. She is dead.

    A lot of people don't joke, they actually believe that there is something to the story. As for there being no evidence of this being the case, the problem is there is very little evidence on either side, which makes people go, "Hmm, I wonder..."

    There's no evidence to suggest she was abducted either. Of course they will and should regret it for the rest of their lives. They fúcked up. Whether they had anything to do with her disappearance or not, a very big portion of blame lies with them.

    Your child is snatched on the street and the police demand you consent to a DNA test to prove the child is yours

    Jack Bauer style tactics in India it seems, anything is acceptable to get the result

    Eh? How much of the case have you actually read? The kids were in a room that could not be seen from where the parents ate and the door was left unlocked. They were right beside a road.

    Trained dogs picked up cadavar scent in their apartment (behind a couch and in a cupboard).

    The McCanns refused to answer questions vital to the case and left Portugal the moment they were made suspects, despite earlier proclaiming they would never leave without their daughter.

    They said the window shutters had been jemmied open and that is how the abductor got in and yet that proved to be false. No such thing happened.

    What is the evidence of an abduction? One of their Tapas friends said she saw someone carrying a child but changed her story numerous times. Yeah, plenty of reasons to believe the child was 'abducted'. The evidence is overwhelming.

    Despite the lack of any evidence, I remain convinced that the Roma beggars were involved.
    Either them or the Nigerian refugees.

    It was clearly travellers, they went to Spain, kidnapped her and brought her back to Mullingar.

    WRONG
    and the door was left unlocked.

    WRONG
    They were right beside a road.

    TRUE
    Trained dogs picked up cadavar scent in their apartment (behind a couch and in a cupboard).

    Proven to be false.
    Dogs barked on command.
    Dogs entered apartment over three months later when scent would have disappeared.
    The McCanns refused to answer questions vital to the case and left Portugal the moment they were made suspects, despite earlier proclaiming they would never leave without their daughter.

    FALSE.
    They also have two other children in fairness, who are entitled to what normal life they can.
    They said the window shutters had been jemmied open and that is how the abductor got in and yet that proved to be false. No such thing happened.

    FALSE.
    The shutter was lifted, but it doesnt take jemmying.
    It lifts freely which they did not realise.
    What is the evidence of an abduction? One of their Tapas friends said she saw someone carrying a child but changed her story numerous times. Yeah, plenty of reasons to believe the child was 'abducted'. The evidence is overwhelming.

    FALSE.
    Story was not changed.
    Two other witnesses also saw the same man in a coat carrying a sleeping barefoot child in her pyjamas.

    I think in a decade this case will still be talked about

    Much like JonBenet Ramsey

    Jane Tanner's story was changed. Her description of what the man looked like changed.

    The other witnesses (Smiths) said the man they saw was Gerry McCann.

    No moss, dust etc was disturbed on the ledge and no chance a grown adult could have got in the window and out without disturbing lichen, moss, etc.

    The McCann's said the door was left open. Personally I believe that was only said to aid an abductor story. Who owuld leave all their possessions and three children alone and in an unlocked apartment?

    The McCann's were quoted as saying that would not leave Portugal till their daughter was found. They were advised to go as soon as the tide turned and did. News stories about this in 2007 are all over the web.

    As for the cadavar scent, it can last up to a year. (google it if you want proof of that)

    That was a shocking crime that one. That poor child.

    That's ok then! Other people are doing it so it's grand!

    Now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to pick someone at random and strangle them to death, sure there's a load of people who have done it. It's grand!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭tan11ie


    Has anyone been to Praia da luz? have you noticed no posters of Maddie remain and how the majority of the locals believe the parents are responsible for her disappearance. Quite an eerie feeling...


  • Registered Users Posts: 901 ✭✭✭EL_Loco


    Did they look at her eye? The one that was pointed out to have a feature in the posters?

    DNA me hole, Ted.

    Madeleine McCann spotted? Book sales must be dropping so.......... Either that or there's a movie deal


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Little Acorn


    McCann's spokesperson Clarence Mitchell has said this:
    Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for Madeleine’s parents Gerry and Kate McCann, has reported : “Our private investigators are aware of the reports from India over the weekend about a possible sighting of Madeleine.
    “We are liaising with the Indian authorities over the incident and await the results of the DNA test.”

    Just read this, the Indian police chief has said there are no DNA tests being done and that they haven't even picked up a girl! :confused:

    http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB8QqQIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2011%2F07%2F28%2Fmadeleine-mccann-sighting-india-investigation-_n_912011.html&ei=jZUxTs7nJM-5hAeGlrmVCw&usg=AFQjCNHzYhaDuWc3QhFJOhr2UMvbOlegGw
    A regional Indian police chief told CNN that he knew nothing about the sighting, and dismissed reports of a possible DNA test on the girl. "We have not recovered any girl from Leh," said Abdul Gani Mir, deputy inspector general of police for central Kashmir and Leh. "I checked and re-checked from my officers on ground in Leh and they have categorically told me they have not recovered the girl."

    I will never stop hoping that Madeline or any other missing person will be found. I know personally the hell that the family is going through and I wouldn`t wish it on my worst enemy.

    Please God!

    For those that think the McCanns are innocent - explain the sniffer dog that had never been wrong even once in hundreds of cases, smelling death on the stairs, sofa, and Kate McCann's clothes?
