    You know very well what it's insinuating. Guilt by association, yeah?
    .


    It's odd that a pedophile invited a couple who potentially had their little girl abducted to dinner.....


    right....right...surley it's odd? no ? really?

    wasn't there something about him on holiday with another of the mcanns friends and he made gestures like rubbing his nipples?

    very odd behaviour

    The rumour mill at it's finest, from people who claim they know so much about the Madeline McCann disappearance , "wasn't there...didn't they, did I hear?" ad nauseum :rolleyes:

    That is my opinion - too many amateur Sherlocks. At least know the full facts of what you're discussing before you go putting it out there. Chinese whispers.

    However unpleasant- that particular incident is a matter of official record as detailed in the official police files.

    Oh so you just want to claim rumors and Chinese whispers without knowing either ?


    interesting tact.

    I knew it was. I also know that it's been disputed as an active over imagination, I thought I was on your ignore list by the way? :pac::pac:

    My issue was with the style of the questions..." weren't they something something and someone said the other about it", this kind of style that so many people diving on the "McCanns did something" train use. It's very vague to be frank. It wouldn't be worth a lot.

    A lot of people seem to think 10pm is the exact time that the alarm was raised. ...”

    Having read the online police files I would agree. The other issue is that there are two seperate versions of the timeline handed to the police by members of The Tapas 7. Both detail that it was 9.55pm when the mother found the child missing. But also include various differences in who did what and when.
    During questioning - the parents also give detail that they went for dinner just after 8.30pm on the night in question - even though this was given in the timeline as 8.45pm. One of the waiters interviewed stated that the group
    The group always "came around 8.00pm, arrived within five minutes of each other and ordered their dinner, and they always left together as a group between 10.30pm and 11pm.”  
    The whole timeline is riddled with similar inconsistencies and unreconciled issues.

    what I would like is people condemning others by using sentences like "erm, didn't I hear something about" blah blah to stop and use some hard facts that they can comment on a bit better than how they are doing, so far.

    So even though you knew it to be true you claimed rumors and Chinese whispers.


    Interesting.

    I was sitting between Dave and Gerry whom I believe were both talking about Madeleine. I don't remember the conversation in its entirety, but it seemed they were discussing a possible scenario. I remember Dave telling Gerry something like ?she?, referring to Madeleine, ?would do this?.

    When he mentioned ?this?, Dave was sucking on one of his fingers, pushing it in and out of his mouth, whilst with the other hand he circled his nipple, with a circulating movement over his clothes. This was done in a provocative manner there being an explicit insinuation in relation to what he was saying and doing.

    If they were doing it why wasn't it taken any further? You're very quick to jump on anyone who claims it isn't, but how do you, a member of the public that had nothing to do with a live investigation at the time know there is more to it than something that was misinterpreted? Why did you say "weren't they" blah blah if you knew the facts, I will tell you why, because you just like regurgitating the same old stuff again and again.

    You made a claim that was stated was rumor and Chinese whispers.


    You were wrong..

    Do you own this site or something :rolleyes::pac::pac: No I wasn't wrong. You started off by saying "weren't they involved in something something blah" and I said that it's ridiculous making statements like this. Use all the facts. The facts are that one person said she thought she overheard something odd, nothing ever came of it. So what? And now it gives you a licence to go around going "didn't they have a conversation about" blah blah. Now you are free to move on pal.

    That's the most frustrating thing. The police have an impossible job when statements contradict so much.

    While you have to accept that these people were on holidays in a fairly large group and didn't know this would become the most scrutinized 90 minutes of their lives, it's hard to understand how their stories contradict to such an extent.

    Well that would seem to put the kybosh on all the McCann haters. The Police are hardly going to inform the parents they have two significant leads that implicate them.

    Still we have heard this stuff from them before when extending funding has been in the news, so I am hugely sceptical they have anything.

    They're down to 2 investigators with 150000. Most likely nothing too significant. Perhaps a burglar that worked the area etc

    The witness statement was taken by the UK police on May 16th, thirteen days after Madeleine’s disappearance. That information although later deemed very important for the progress of the investigation by the Portuguese police, was (without any explanation) not forwarded by the UK police for six months

    The couple who voluntarily provided the statement in the UK were acquantices of the McCanns and the Payne families. Both are medical doctors and had previously spent vacations with them.
    The Portuguese Police investigators did learn about similar events that allegedly took place during a holiday in Greece – without, however, obtaining reliable witness statements -, they tell the (UK) police, who, even at this point, refrain from revealing what they know on the subject....Why did the British keep it secret for more than six months?

    Sorry, maybe posters on here are not used to reading statements or looking for proof in them, but there is nothing there apart from her feelings.
    Which, she didn't act on, so were obviously not too strong at the time.

    Why are you accsing people of hating the McCanns?


    I couldn't care less about the McCanns one way or another.


    People want the people responsible for it to be brought to justice that just happens to also include the McCanns if they were responsible. It's nothing to do with liking or disliking them.

    Incorrect.

    Both husband and wife made seperate statements to the UK police about inappropriate references made by Payne etc.

    The couple were taken aback that no-one else at the table that night either reacted or responded to what had been said.

    Following the incident on holiday - Subsequently the wife only allowed her child to be bathed whilst her husband Savio was present.

    She clearly stated that she did not trust payne "I did not trust him to give bath to E. alone."

    Two witnesses observed a similar interaction whilst on holiday in Greece with the Paynes.

    David Payne was the one who organized the trip to Portugal, and seemingly had an obsession with bathing his friends' children - as it is detailed in some of the police interviews; that earlier that day, around 6:30pm, David Payne calls to the mccanns apartment to ask Kate if she needed help bathing the kids.

    The Gaspar statement was never followed up on by the British police.

    During the period we stayed at the villa I remember a gesture made by David Payne.

    What amazes me is when people who read statements etc for a living. Read into the McCanns and find issue with it they get dismissed.


    Then a random person on boards can run through a statement that doesn't suit them to find holes


    This thread is gas.


  • Posts: 19,178 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I read the statement, she did not say she knew he was talking about Madeline, merely she 'believed' he was.
    Also, she 'imagined'he had looked at child porn on the internet.
    She made her husband, stay nearby! When this man was bathing her child? Seriously?
    Would anyone that actually thought a man might be a paedo, allow that guy to bath their child?

    There really is no proof of anything, it's just feelings & not very strong ones at that.
