Kate McCann offered a 'deal' if she confesses to killing madeleine

Would someone put a link to Gerry Mccann's blog,please. I can't find it.

cuddle cat was washed after a few weeks - i read that in a paper cant remember which one. Hopwever, if the police were so thorough why wasnt it removed from the time madeline went missing?

Its all wrong and I am amazed at how many people have turned on them - who knows how you would react if it was your child missing, i know for sure I wouldnt be thinking about the outside world and how am i looking etc...

People react in all sorts of unusual ways when they are greiving. The very fact that they are doing things that others find unusual or out of place is a sign of greif.

It is truly terrible and wrong to be so judgemental and eagar to jump to conclusions. It says a lot more about you than it does about the McCanns.

The fact that they haven't been charged will be due not to lack of evidence but due process. In Portugal, the evidence is put before a judge who then brings charges.

I don't believe anyone in the McCann's position would try to move a body after 25 days. I do believe that they might try to move the child's clothes after that time however, which would explain the DNA found in the boot of the car.

Thanks for the link.

I do not believe for one second that the Mccanns are being set up by the police. If the police had wanted a conclusion to this case and wanted to set someone up, then surely they could have set up Robert Murat months ago. He?d been made a suspect, the media did a nice job of blackening his name, so charging and convicting him of a crime would have been far easier than to fabricate new evidence against a new set of suspects. It just doesn?t make sense that they would try and set up the family, given the amount of publicity they have had and the amount of support they have.

But equally I don?t believe that Kate Mccann was offered a deal. Imo that?s sensationalist crap from the family and the media, the same people who claimed that the shutters had been forced open, a fact which also turned out not to be the case.

I think the family should stop talking to the media, really I do. I think they?re not helping, and although they want to do what they think is best for kate/gerry, I?m not sure that fabricating stories about deals being offered is the way to go.

The idea that these people are being stitched up by the Portugese and British police is laughable. I predicted yesterday there would be an outcry of "they was framed", but I thought it would come from the diehards on these boards, not the family itself (aided and abetted by the disgusting British media).

Anyone who is prepared to dismiss hard evidence in favour of lunatic straw-clutching because they can't bring themselves to admit that they might have been wrong to make too much of a personal investment in something that was nothing to do with them really is guilty of doing this little girl a grave injustice.

have never read Gerry's blog before but having done so now I find it odd.

"After dropping the twins off Kate and I popped into church for 10 minutes to pray for Madeleine.". why would people be interested in this? it's a bit like saying "we popped to the shop to pick up a paper". I really fail to see the purpose of this blog, I have read other blogs in the past, misdee's about peter, Kewcumber's about her adoption journey, both of which would be helpful/give an insite into what the writers are going through, but Gerry's just seems to be some rambling - and is of no use to anyone. Why ever would that need to be public?

How are you so certain that the family are fabricating but the police aren't. If you google 'miscarriage of justice' I am sure that you will find many many examples of the police 'setting people' up.

It seems to me that the police are clutching at straws - they have stopped looking for Madeleine and need to ensure that future tourists see Portgual/Praia de Luz as a place where child-snatchers are punished. Let's face it - their investigation has seemed a bit rubbish at times (although, clearly I am not a law-enforcement official).

I just can't believe this couple are guilty of such a crime. Also - on the subject of sedation - the drug in question is present in most medications like calpol - so it could be perfectly innocent.

More pertinently, the media do seem to have reported the slightest bit of 'news' with wild abandon and I don't think any of the public really know what is going on anymore.

as they are now formal suspects they are NOT allowed to leave the country, they must report to the police every 5 days.

Are you kidding me?

You are now claiming that it was ok to sedate these kids?

And for your information, you're only supposed to give Calpol every now and again. I think I've given it to my kids maybe a total of five times in eight years.

given that the evidence was collected and annalised by Brittish police, are you therefore supposing that this is an international setup? And how do you suppose that the Brittish police could be brought in on this setup? Yes miscarriages of justice happen, but generally not on this kind of scale. In order for the evidence to have been fabricated, both portuguese and brittish police would have to be corrupt, it's a bit of an extreme to go to don't you think?

If Madelaine was in fact killed by an accidental sedative overdose then why would there be blood in the apartment and the hire car?

Oh, the irony of the McCann haters claming the reasonable people are 'dismiss[ing] hard evidence in favour of lunatic straw-clutching'. Helloooo?! Have you looked in a mirror, recently?

What hard evidence, exactly, FGS?

I quite agree - but it is possible that the children were given medication in order to medicate - not sedate!

( whispers) Bobbymum I think you have leapt a little - I think you may have misunderstood the poste. I read it as suggesting that the traces may have been an innocently and appropriately given medicine for children like calpol.
And FWIW I don't give calpol ever as it makes my DS hyper and FWIW phenergan does too.

Montmerency - what are you talking about?

I don't think anyone has actually said that she was killed by an overdose have they? apart from the media that is..

But the police obviously have a reason to have declared this couple suspects, all along they have claimed thatt the family are not suspects, something which, in fact, is one of the few things they have stated publically, so there will be a reason for that to have changed.

We don't actually know what the hard evidence is because we are not the police. But there must be some, or the status of the family wouldn't have changed.

well they have no evidence about Murat and yet they still charged him

They had circumstantial evidence about Murat. Conveniently provided by the McCanns and their 'friends'.

no, they didn't charge anyone! I think this is where people get confused, arguito is a bit like being "arrested on suspicion of.." but does not involve any charges. Only when there is enough evidence are charges brought. it is actually not dissimilar to this country except the terminology is different hence the confusion.

totally agree compon - all they had on Murat was a mirror journalist who thought he was being a bit 'too helpful'

And where has all this stuff about sedation come from? And Gerry seeing Madeleine wasnt there and presuming she was somewhere else - where has that come from?

And has anyone considered that finding blood does not necessarily mean that someone is dead. I cut my leg last night whilsy shaving it (v glam friday nights that i have.) I'm still alive. Why has the leap from blood in a car hired 5 weeks after she went missing to certain death been made? I cannot compute!
