    I attacked your character when? You said it’s perfectly rational and understandable to cover up the death of a child. Those were your words.

    Quoting me out of context.

    She wandered out herself, something happened (car accident/paedo)

    I really didn’t.

    Can you enlighten us with your thoughts of what you believe happened that day? You’re so sure they were involved so I’m sure you have a rock solid bullet proof theory established. One that isn’t just blaming the parents for the sake of it.

    The Portugese police account of events is already detailed in this thread.

    I really didn’t.

    "It's two parents covering up the accidental death of their daughter to avoid losing their other two children."



    I'm going for a nap now until sense is restored in this thread.

    I have answered pretty much all these question already in this thread.

    Your faux outrage still doesn't whitewash the facts of this case.

    What are the facts that you think I’m trying to whitewash?
    Why can’t you just tell us, given these facts, exactly when where how why and at whose hands exactly Madeleine died.
    You’ve had 12 years to work it out.
    It’s clear to you that they did it.
    So, go ahead, tell us all what happened.

    Well if she died accidentally while you were both out having dinner, you might feel somewhat involved too.

    Attacking my character doesn't get away from the facts unfortunately. It does get away from this thread topic though.

    Very true.
    I can't imagine the guilt as a mother you would feel from knowing you were responsible for your own child's death.
    I can't imagine there is anything in this world worse than that.
    Not even losing your other children to social services would be worse than that.

    I imagine the pain would be so bad, the last thing I'd be concerned about in the minutes after discovering this, would be protecting myself & my husband.
    Let alone concocting a mastermind plan to ensure we both get off scott free.

    Getting locked up for the rest of my life would never compare to the pain of knowing I caused the death of my child. That's why it isn't plausible.

    It's perfectly rational and understandable to anyone who has child

    I can't even follow this thread any more, I'm so horrified at people asking questions about bins. I'm not saying humans aren't capable of such stuff but I have a daughter almost the same age and I'm so sad even thinking anyone could throw a dead child in a bin. I don't know that they didn't do it, but even if they did, speculating about it in this way is just macabre. You'd have to be pretty mental in the head to do that.

    I suppose you consider the parents were totally within their rights to leave their babies alone at night though.

    Anything could have happened.

    Anything

    But bye bye anyway.

    No I don't. Nice try though, why are so many sad people so snappy on this site? Bitching and fighting and goading and spewing bile. I just think that it's a complete horror what happened and it's unhealthy to speculate online about any dark horrible grisly details as was the case in the last few posts. you don't get to dismiss me either, I said I would unfollow because of how disgusting I think people are being but you don't get to just dismiss my views.

    You go to check on your children and find your nearly 4 year old daughter has fallen out of bed and broken her neck. She’s dead. Your on holidays with a large party. Your twins are fast asleep. Your wife is outside with your friends drinking a glass of wine.....so, go, tell us what happened then, in your mind....
    Because in my mind I’m running with my dead child in my arms screaming “help me help me! Get a ****ing ambulance!! Help me Jesus help me! Kate Maddie’s dead she’s fallen! “
    I think this is most people’s reaction but not you.
    I know of two families who lost small kids in accidents at home, one on a farm and this is what happened. Funnily enough on neither occasion was there a calm rational conversation about the possible consequences re other children being taken into care.
    I’d imagine your surprised to hear that.
    So go ahead and tell us what you think happened next.

    Yes but Susie you are a person who lives in the real world where real people react in a real way to real situations.
    As you can see from this thread the people who believe that the McCanns covered up their childs accidental death do not live anywhere else except the twilight zone. It’s like 9/11 conspirators.
    None of the theories will allow for anything even remotely approaching a realistic scenario.
    You’d have to wonder how some people even function in the real world, and come to the conclusion that they actually have little or no connection with it at all.

    Or basically you just believe everything the media report and don’t question it.

    No I’ve not seen ever a scenario which explains how where when why and by whom M MCCann died.
    Have you?

    The parents did it
    My thinking.

    There is no evidence of intruder at the apartment. It doesn't mean there wasn't one, but nothing to support theory that there was.

    There is some evidence of a mishap or misbehaving at the apartment, but not enough to suggest evil by parents.

    There are things about the parents behaving that are not without suspicion, but I think because they were neglectful or careless. I remember the night after the child cried and no one came. I remember washing away maybe evidence on a toy (vomit with trace of drugs?)

    I think it is possible, three ways. But no evidence I know of.

    1) The child died from overdose and somehow was disposed.
    2) The child wandered out to look for parents and was abducted on the street
    3) The child wandered off and fell into somewhere not found

    Possibly like this,


    https://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/REX-MORGAN.htm

    I would further like to say that in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine, I saw a manhole with a cover removed.

    This manhole is situated on a junction of a road that runs parallel to the supermarket near to the Tapas Bar and the McCanns apartment.

    The cover along with the surround that been removed and placed to the side of the road.

    The road is lit by street lighting but I believe you would not have seen the hole and anyone could have fallen in.

    I returned the next day and noticed that the cover had been replaced.

    I am concerned that she may have fallen down the manhole and was not seen.
    he also talks about the charity collectors on 3rd May.


    Now I would imagine whoever put the manhole cover back on would have looked down the hole to see if anything was down there..............

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    One thing that never seems to get mentioned is that Gerry reported a tennis bag missing from the apartment.....That missing bag just sticks in my head...

    What? Why would that be mentioned? Gerry never reported a missing tennis bag. Link? Clarence Mitchell (spokesman for the McCanns) stated that there is no such tennis bag of interest. There is a blue sports bag in one of the photos of Apartment 5a taken by the Portuguese police and in another photo of the same spot, the bag is not there. Cue the rumor brigade. The photos were taken by the police who evidently had access to the bag in question.
    This is all well and good, but there is evidence that the McCanns are involved, it is how the lead Detective came to his conclusion. The sniffer dogs, the change of story, the deleted phone records, etc, etc, etc.

    There is absolutely no evidence of an abductor, absolutely none.

    Do you have any evidence of deleted phone records? I cannot seem to find any info on that other than rumors.

    That maybe true but that would only apply one the police got there and got the situation under control.
    I can't imagine any parent not spending those minutes before the police arrived not searching

    I once saw a woman looking for her child that ran off . She was running around , shouting his name and looking everywhere. That the way I would expect a parent to react

    Gerry was seen frantically searching on the beach and under cars. I have not got access to the book by Goncalo Amaral but that is where I read that. Some of the witness statements in the McCann files also mention Gerry searching. It would not be uncommon for one of the parents to stay in the house / apartment at a time like this to speak with the police / answer ransom calls / be there if the child came back. To say that the parents did not search for the child is just plain wrong.

    The only scenario which would have resulted in the other children being taken into care is if Madeleine had been knowingly, as opposed to accidentally, administered an overdose of some sort of strong and potentially fatal sedative which should never be given to children of that particularly young age. The father may have had access to such given the nature of his work. There are perfectly legal medications such as Calpol, Dozol which induce sleep in children and are available to buy without prescription.

    Isn’t Kate a trained anaesthetist? Yet we are meant to believe she administered an accidental and fatal dose of what, calpol?
    This just gets more and more laughable.

    It must be a nightmare to lose a daughter and to have everyone scrutinise everything you say. The parents aren't even allowed smile without being accused of something.

    Oh, I thought he was the anaesthetist. My point was that perhaps the child had been given (accidentally) a fatal level of some illegal form of sedative and not the over the counter variety as you seem to be suggesting. Anybody could have made an error regarding the correct dosage, even a medical doctor.

    No one knows if it was calpol or something more powerful....



    those trained anaesthetist's


    They've never ever ever ever killed anyone....:confused:

    Smiling is ok.


    Not assisting in an investigation into your daughter's disappearance is not ok.


    Trying to discredit highly skilled professionals hired to help you is not ok....


    Spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on con artists to assit is not ok...


    Stop pointing out nonsensical rubbish.


    Both sides of the argument can agree there's plenty of behaviours from the mcanns that doesn't make much sense.


    It doesn't make them killers. But lets not bring it down to something as trivial as them smiling...

    Well I thought it was a genuine question.How can Kate be so positive that raising money for missing Children can't help HER missing Daughter? :confused:

    Toxicology tests on the twins showed they were never given any sedatives at any stage.
    That's the dodgiest thing about this theory, the idea that Kate having worked in anaesthesiology means she probably not only drugged her kids, but used some unspecified-but-scary, surgical grade anaesthetic drug to do it. And furthermore, that she screwed it up and killed one of them, which would not only make her a killer but a complete idiot.

    What if it was agreed that they would give some sedative. What if by accident they both gave it without the other knowing? Training wouldn't be much pertinent if I made sure I give enough to knock out the child for the night, but you did also a few minutes later.

    Where would they have disposed of the sedative that they administered before the police came, and how would they have smuggled it into Portugal with them, given it must have been of surgical strength?

    The problem was the lapse of time before any of their other children were tested.

    The real issue there is the lack of any proper investigation by UK authorities into the full circumstance of the parents relative to the disappearance of their daughter ...

    Phenergan is an anti histamine that knocks you out. Suitable for kids too in smaller doses than an adult obviously. I have used it for long haul flights, and many parents use it too for their kids in similar circumstances. Perfectly safe once kids are supervised as when you wake up you can be groggy for a while, I know this! Perfectly legal, available over the counter and anti histamines are often used in foreign countries in the event of bites etc.

    I don't think anyone is saying that the parents killed their child. Far from it, but IF sedatives like the one I mentioned were used, well the child could have woken and wandered in a bit of a stupor, or fell and hit her head. That's a theory. No anaesthesia masks or intubation required at all.

    Remember the twins slept through all the commotion. Soundly. I know some kids can sleep through an earthquake, but the commotion was going on for hours, it wasn't like someone accidentally let the cutlery drawer fall onto the tiles for example, or played music for a while. Just made me think anyway.
