Yes, can see how you can hide a small body but not the smell of it decomosing (I know that is gruesome and am sorry for that).

debgronow · 08/09/2007 08:36

This has been suspected for some time in Portugal but hasnt been reported here.

Gerry and Kate regularly gave the children something to help them to sleep so they can go out with their friends. Tey could use over the counter stuff like Phenergan or pssibly given that they are doctors - something stronger.
Scenarios are
A msitake is made and both give her a dose, she over doses,
She is groggy falls out of bed a hurts herself
She is unwell, vomits and chokes in her sleep.

debgronow - that is just speculation about sedating it was reported in the newspaper over in portugal, these certain news paper's have done a lot of speculating over the past 4 months.

debgronow · 08/09/2007 08:39

Apparently Gerry has admitted to it. Also evidence was found including a syringe.

haychee · 08/09/2007 08:41

Its a scary situation whichever view you have on this.
On the one hand you may believe they are totally innocent and therefore it is ludicrous to think this could be any one of us who are now being treated as suspects. Either portuguese law system is a joke and or their investigation is clutching at straws and they are wrongly accusing those poor parents.
On the other hand, they could be guilty as hell. How scary is that to think a professional intelligent couple whos lives have been focused on caring for others could possibly do such a terrible thing. And of course their campaign since meadeleines disappearance has just been a complete farce.(?sp)

I beleive they are innocent, however when she first went missing i was suprised at the McCanns composure during those first few interviews with the media.
My dh has disagreed with me and has for some time suspected the parents.

On the one hand it would be a relief to finally know who did what and what happened to the poor child. While at the same time it is incomprehensable to even consider the McCanns as guilty of such an evil event and the pantomime that has ensued.

Gerry mccann has admitted he sedated all 3 children that night.What reason could he have had for that?I think their number is up personally

harleyd · 08/09/2007 08:42

do you know what - i nearly hope the little girl did die of an od. and not at the hands of some warped git who did god knows what to her

totaleclipse · 08/09/2007 08:44

Why would he admit it now? even if its true and they are trying to get away with her death, how could admitting this help them, or if she was truely abdudted but they had sedated her that night, why admit it now, it clearly wont help them look innocent, complete bollocks IMO.

StealthPolarBear · 08/09/2007 08:44

If that is true then

totaleclipse · 08/09/2007 08:46

harleyd
I know what you mean, if she is not alive, an accidental over dose would be the best scenario (sp)

debgronow · 08/09/2007 08:46

Whats in it for the Portugese police to frame the Mccans?
The DNA tests were sent to the UK, whats in it for them to frame the Maccans?
British police sniffer dogs found the scent of a body, whats in it for them to frame the Mccans.
For this to happen its a massive conspiracy and if so why? Its not like they are important people like royalty or the american president

If the Portugese police are incomptetent then the easier thing would be to do nothing

noddyholder · 08/09/2007 08:52

He admitted it because they had proof in a syringe that was found and part of the forensics.What is wrong with you people to keep defending these awful people?It wasn't enough that they had all day until 6 in the sun without their kids but then they had to drug them to have tehri 'me' time at night too.Selfish and irresponsible imo Although they had no trouble getting into gear for a big campaign and travelling everywhere raising money and profiles but couldn't look after 3 toddlers??

haychee · 08/09/2007 08:52

I have trouble believing that the portuguese police can be this wrong. I hope of course they are wrong, but is unlikely imo.
However if they are wrong, what has happened to the poor girl?

ScoobyDooooo · 08/09/2007 08:53

It is just complete speculation about sedating, are newspapers are just as bad with speculation do you believe all they say is well?

I think it is time to now sit back & wait & see what happens from here, i still personally believe this is utter crap & they are covering there own backs because there reputation is on the line (meaning the portugese police) because they messed up in this investigation & have nothing to go on.

Only time will tell, they may go to court before a judge but i think they will not be charged unless there is an enormous amount of evidence against them.

What will happen to the twins in this situation? it is just so so they have already been split from there big sister, now may be split from there parents

SqueakyClean asks: "can someone please explain to me, in logistical terms, how you can be sitting in a restaurant a hundred yards from your apartment, having a drink with friends and also murdering your daughter in the room she shared with her toddler siblings, as if you were going off to the loo?
I mean if one person can put forward a competant theory about how exactly that could have happened then i may, just may start to doubt their innocence. but only then."

It seems there is some doubt as to when Madeleine was last seen. IF the McCanns are guilty of anything (and I'm leaving that to the police, who may not be the buffoons and idiots some are so keen to suppose) then it must be a priority to establish the last sighting of Madeleine by an independent witness, for the generally accepted timeline of events that night ('she was put to bed at 7, she was still there at 9' etc) seems to come from the two people who have now been declared arguidos, and must now be up for close examination.

From The Times

"Kate and Gerry McCann were the last people to see their daughter. Nobody else has publicly emerged who saw Madeleine after 6pm."

Oenophile · 08/09/2007 08:54

SqueakyBrushes, not SqueakyClean My apologies.

debgronow · 08/09/2007 08:54

Noddy holder I agree.
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.

haychee · 08/09/2007 08:54

They had all day until 6 without the dc? Then went off out again? I didnt know that.

totaleclipse · 08/09/2007 08:55

There are several pictures of the MacCanns, out as a family in the day before she vanished, so they were not palmed off everyday.

debgronow · 08/09/2007 08:57

creche in the morning, lunch, creche in the afternoon, tea, bed
They cant have spent much time as a family that day as gerry and kate took part in a tennis competition that day.

noddyholder · 08/09/2007 08:57

I think the portuguese police have acted as they should and although they have been suspicious for a while haven't said anything or acted until the results which were done in a uk lab were back.I hope this comes to a quick conclusion and the little girl's body is found for a proper burial although it seems unlikely now

ScoobyDooooo · 08/09/2007 08:58

I thought they were out as a family that day? i thought the picture of madeleine at the pool with her dad & twin sister was taken that day?

ScoobyDooooo · 08/09/2007 08:59

There was also another mother who had said madeleine had been playing with her daughter down by the pool that day.

LucyJones · 08/09/2007 09:02

blimey Noddy - have you heard the phrase 'innocent before proven guilty'?
I still think they had nothing whatsoever to do with it and the Portugese police investigation has been a farce. I find it appalling that people on here are talking about the McCanns in this way and also about 'bodies' Maybe you should just all wait for news before you get so judgemental

haychee · 08/09/2007 09:04

its in human nature to make speculation. Apologies if you find these threads upsetting, but its quite clear none of us know anything we are just discussing the events as they occur.
