Netflix Madeleine McCann

[mumineedawee]

AIBU to think that any coverage of her disappearance is a good thing. I watched two episodes of the Netflix programme and think that if it were to bring her back into the spotlight, then surely it’s worthwhile? I’m on my own in that opinion here in our house.

I think Gerry seems like quite a hard man but also sensible he knew from the off...if they are named suspects.... then people will stop looking and being alert.

@Stuckandsad I agree about public sympathy if they'd admit to fucking up, but (and this is simply my take) I think they can't admit it out of self-preservation. Admitting it, actually saying out loud and in public that it's all their fault might be too much too handle.

I had no idea the waiting staff disagreed about the checks happening. So it's the Tapas staff's word against the McCanns/their friends? Having said that, busy restaurant staff wouldn't really be expected to notice people coming and going from a large table, people could be absent for toilet breaks all the time.

I just feel cameras should have been at resort, all resorts with Dc. All been warned anyway about sex attacker on loose.

British police got involved sooner, more collaboration between forces, better translating... proper boarders so people can't easily human trafficking but most of all...

We as a society needs too wake up and realise the extent of child abuse and predators and collectivity press for it to be major issues.

Out of interest what has happened to that major investigation into paedophilia that they kept changing the chair person for in this country? Forgotten it's name or I would Google it.

I've watched a couple of the episodes. It's harrowing really, the child sex abuse theory is probably realistic.

Every time I see Kate McCann, I just don't know how she is still breathing, she looks anguished, that must be so hard to live with. I really feel 'there but for the grace of god go I' about it. Gerry is a strange character in my opinion. He's got a sneer about him, I don't know what that's about.

I don't warm too Gerry at all but how we feel about him matters not one jot

RedHelen there's an update on the inquiry here Inquiry Into Historical Sexual Abuse

I'm watching it now. I have a question about the dogs. On the one hand the dog handler boasts his dog could pick up the scent of blood/cadaver of a tiny spot of blood on a blanket that had been washed three times on the other hand, when Kate suggested at the time that the cadaver scent could have come from clothing due to her work as a GP visiting the houses of deceased people it was ridiculed.

You can't have it both ways. Either the dogs can pick up tiny traces of blood and cadaver in which case they could alert to a scent on Kate's clothing or they can't.

I think Gerry's demeanour is down to the constant bashing they've got and trying to protect his family

According to the police files, the staff at the restaurant did see parents leaving and the night in question mention two men leaving at differing times.

Of the group of 8/9 British citizens who dined at the restaurant last night, as usual, of which the parents of missing were part (he didn't know them) he noticed that two individuals left the table, of the male gender.

• The first to leave was about 40/45 years old (tall, skinny, white complexion, with large [a full head of] hair of color gray) and the period of his absence was about 15 minutes, being that they had to [re-]heat his food, which had cooled;
• The second to leave (about 40/45 years of age, having the physical characteristics of the first, but having less bulky hair) did so for about 30 minutes, and that shortly after he returned, all left the table, except for an elderly person, who told him that a child had disappeared, the daughter of a member of the group, due to which he thought that the second person to leave could have been the father of the child;
• Of the times in which this group had dined in that bar it is [was] often [for] someone from the group to go to check at the apartments the state of the children (their offspring) who were sleeping there.

The first PR said Gerry saw his role as protector of his family and tbh I think that explains entirely his demeanour, how he acted, what he said, etc.

The staff if they were attentive to the table they were serving, would have noticed if diners left the table for any length of time. Food would have been served and you don’t serve if members are missing or you ask if they will be long.

No ones yet mentioned - me neither - but it's played in my mind - the Portuguese reporter. She admits she was getting leaks of information - but it was all false and she said something along lines of always feeling g guilty for that and also extremely duped.

Well I’ve just had a post deleted saying I never left my kids alone at that age. I’d like an explanation but I doubt I’d get one. Obviously being a good parent on a parenting site isn’t acceptable.’

Netflix is so widespread now , hopefully in other countries.

Hopefully someone connected will see this And be moved to alert UK police dealing with it3. I think it's a good documentary.

Raise awareness again and speak to new generation...

I don’t think the truth will ever come out. Poor little girl.

@itwaseverthus That statement almost tallies completely with Fiona Payne's. Food had to be taken away as on a check one of the children was found to have vomited, so that father stayed behind to look after his daughter while his wife finished eating, then she went to swap with him.

Thanks Anne . No surprises there then.

Watching this right now.
Apart from the mcannes appalling decision to leave those children alone.
The police also did an awful job right at the beginning of the investigation. Very late road blocks and stop and searches. Letting so many people in and out of that apartment.

IMHO I don’t think Madeline will be ever be found.

A Coloboma is a serious medical condition. We have all seen the famous picture and all the press campaign's around the coloboma and the significance of the eye defect and how it would set Madeleine aside from the crowd, yes?

So why, in an interview with Piers Morgan does Kate say Madeleine does NOT have a Coloboma.

K. MCCANN: "If I'm honest, we haven't put too much emphasis on her eye, because I think you have to be very close to her to see it. But her eyes are slightly different colors, and one of them has this brown fleck in it. But you do notice, particularly on photographs, but --"

"Certainly believe it wouldn't have changed. I think there's been a pattern to be still there. That it's -- the technical term is coloboma, where there's a defect in the iris. I don't think it is actually. I think it's actually an additional bit of color. She certainly had no visual problems."

Surely they would know if she had been diagnosed with a Coloboma.

We will never know what happened. It’s a circus that needs to stop.

The dog handler trusted his dogs. He didn't say they'd got it wrong. What he said was that there couldn't be prosecutions based on indications alone.

Be careful kitty you can’t question the McCanns. You will gave posts deleted.
