bobbtsmum - what was the evidence against murat provided by the Mccanns? All I remember is Gerry saying at the time of Murat's house search that he hoped everyone would treat Murat as innocent until proven guilty. So what are you on about?

wannaBe · 08/09/2007 15:25

and it's not the police saying that there was blood in the hire car/the apartment, it's the family.

so either this "evidence" has been put to the mccanns and they have told the rest of the family who have dutifully informed the rest of the world, or the family have made it up...

montmerency · 08/09/2007 15:25

I think I have come into this thread a little too late to to join in!

p.s. thanks pagwatch!

compo · 08/09/2007 15:26

so they haven't charged Murat and they haven't charged the parents - they have no evidence.
it wasn't the family and friends who said that Murat was acting suspicious - it was a Mirror journalist. Wannabe - you seem to be making it up as you go along!

dellgirl13 · 08/09/2007 15:28

if you really want to consider the possibilities surrounding a cover up there are many ways in which she could have accidently died in the appartment eg cut herself with a razor, drank something which caused vomiting blood, falling onto something to cause internal bleeding which could then leave the body, these are accidental ways that could have left blood but the family could want to hide. speculation only i am not saying this happened

wannaBe · 08/09/2007 15:30

ey? I haven't made anything up - I never said anything about Murat.

As I recall, when Murat was made a suspect the police said, in a press conference, that they didn't have enough evidence to make an arrest, but that that didn't mean there was no evidence. But Murat was never charged with anything and I have read in the press that he is expected to be cleared iminently although that hasn't happened yet.

As for the Mccanns, it was a member of their family that said on the news last night that the evidence collected was the blood in the hire car, in fact they even showed the car on the news, and it was a family member that said Kate had been offered a deal.

PSCMUM · 08/09/2007 15:30

the police didn't put any hard evidence to Kate or GErry, they just put their crackpot theory that she was accidental killed, her body hidden, then moved, and hidden again, and asked them to comment.

what i find so hilarious about that theory, is that the media are ONLY involved at the desperate inviations of the McCanns, it is they who hae kept the campaign going and done every thing they can think of to keep Madeleine's face everywhere and keep the world aware that we all need to look out for her. Why on earth, if you had her body hidden in your suitcase/car/spaceship and needed to move it, would you invite the world's media to follow your every move???

And when would you get the chance to move the body with the worlds media watching you, and literlly reporting every breath you take?!

Bobby - Calpol is not a sedative. Great that your children have only need pain/fever relief 5 times in 8 years though.

ELMTREE · 08/09/2007 15:32

im with you on that wannabe

pagwatch · 08/09/2007 15:33

Montmerency your welcome ...but i did only whisper, I'm not very brave.
take my advice, either just read ( and then weep) or don't read. But don't join in. Seriously. Run

dellgirl13 · 08/09/2007 15:34

oh i think they have evidence i think they may be waiting for the parent/s to confess to something that way they would aviod the whole'they have been set up' publicity also they may want them to have a lesser sentance and by admitting it they will however if they do have enough evidence to charge them with manslaughter they will get a longer sentence

bobbysmum07 · 08/09/2007 15:34

beansprout - who said it was? And yes, that's right - I don't really believe in giving paracetamol unless it's absolutely necessary.

compo · 08/09/2007 15:37

sorry wannabe - it was bobbysmum who said "They had circumstantial evidence about Murat. Conveniently provided by the McCanns and their 'friends'. "
which is crap because it was a Mirror journalist

dellgirl13 · 08/09/2007 15:38

they will not give out too much to the parents they will keep the prosecuting evidence for court. and as for the 'campaign' could it not have been done to keep the police off their scent so to speak

PSCMUM · 08/09/2007 15:40

I'd love to know what those like Bobbysmum and all, who think the police thoery is sensible, have to say about just why the McCanns would invite the worlds media to their doorsteps if they had a body to dispose of?

Seriously, I want to be told why I am missing here...When I've done something wrong, like spend too much money on my credit card, i don't wake my dh up and shove the statement dowm his throat, hang it from the ceiling, and photocopy copies of it for all round the house. I keep it quiet. ANd so many of you have made so much of their 'odd' or 'incorrect' behaviour - mainly criticising their media campaign, so you clearly know it was them who wanted to stay in the public eye. Why why why?!

compo · 08/09/2007 15:41

oh they think they have some sort of syndrome where you crave all this publicity

PSCMUM · 08/09/2007 15:45

is right.

those poor poor people - they now know what they must have thought for so long but could not say, that the Police in control of looking for their precious daughter are seriously clueless. It is all so terribly sad and Madeleine is still out there somewhere.

dellgirl13 · 08/09/2007 15:46

no but what you might do with the statement is hide it forget about it and when he finds out say it must have been stolen it wasnt me that spent all the money

dellgirl13 · 08/09/2007 15:50

has no one heard of munchousan(spelt wrong)by proxy they harm their children then take them to the doctors for help. its a similar situation. i am not saying i know what they did but i have said all along they are involved in some way.with all the speculation and evidnece the police claim to have anyone would be naive not to have suspision

wannaBe · 08/09/2007 15:50

My theory on the campaign is that it was the family that wanted it. It was the family that notified the media, the family that made the posters/started the fund/went on the tv/went to downing street. You couldn?t possibly tell the family you didn?t want any of the publicity without somehow implicating them in what had happened. Plus, no-one could ever have foreseen how much attention the campaign would have received. No other case has ever received this kind of attention.

And if you look at how the campaign went, it moved away from Portugal almost straight away. Emails were sent around the world, the Mccanns travelled, to spain/morocco/to see the pope, Gerry went to the US, everywhere they went they said that Madeleine could be there. But there was hardly any emphasis on luz where she actually disappeared, taking the attention away from there if you like.

LittleBella · 08/09/2007 15:51

"I have been unable to believe the attitude of people who refuse to beleive the (unpleasant) possibility that the parents may have been involved - even if not deliberately."

I think you misunderstand us bobbie. It's not that we refuse to believe the possibility that the parents may have been involved - it's that we refuse to automatically assume that they've been involved on the say-so of policemen and journalists.

They may well have been involved. But I'll wait until a reputable open trial has been held with all the evidence considered and weighed properly by a jury, before I condemn the McCann's out of hand, thanks. And I won't take the fact that they don't do thinks like I do, as evidence of their guilt.

I really don't understand why that should be so unbelievable.

LittleBella · 08/09/2007 15:52

dellgirl we've all heard of Munchausen's Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP), Sally Clarke has been mentioned several times.

bobbysmum07 · 08/09/2007 15:52

Three of the McCann "friends" claim to have seen Murat outside the holiday complex on the night that the child disappeared. He had an alibi.

All three were brought over to Portugal to make statements because there were inconsistencies in their stories. Murat also made a statement.

dellgirl13 · 08/09/2007 15:52

wannabe-totally agree as i did with you last night on other thread. why do people think we are wrong just because we 'open our eyes to the whole picture'

wannaBe · 08/09/2007 15:53

the emphasis was constantly put on Madeleine having been abducted, constantly saying that she was still alive, and yet she has never been seen. No-one would entertain the fact that she might have been dead, when in actual fact, statistically she was far more likely to have died on the night she disappeared than having been taken somewhere.
