Many days ,weeks , months and years have now passed ,yet
it is only lately we see the ravage of time etched on
the McCanns faces. It is hard to believe that Madeleine
,presumed dead ,has been gone for almost three years. I
have no doubt that the McCanns have a PR stunt prepared
for her up and coming birthday. Her siblings, will be
giving gifts and there will be an empty chair, Maddies
chair.
The McCanns interviewed in the days and weeks when
Madeleine was first lost to them, seemed to glow, there
seemed an inner peace. The twins were once again placed
in the creche so that the parents may jog and walk the
wonderful beach of PDL. The twins had a sister, what
once were three ,then became two. The twins had lost
their sister yet where were the parents to explain this
loss to their remaining little ones? why were they not
comforting them they must have wondered where their big
sister had gone.
The McCanns claim their first born was ‘stolen’ by an
abductor . They were watched said Kate, they must have
been waiting for the window of opportunity she is heard
to have said. An evil predator had lain in wait to take
Madeleine and yet knowing this man could still be in the
area ,could still be watching Kates remaining children,
what does Kate do? she places them back in the creche
with strangers,the same strangers she did not want to
leave them with at night.
Would any mother not fear for her tiny toddlers, would
any mother not hold them closer, tighter , would any
mother let them out of her sight?…..there is an evil man
out there taking children from their beds…Well is’nt
there? and yet we have Kate and Gerry McCann without a
care in the world leaving their children once more. A
parent would only be able to leave a child because they
know there is no such threat ,an abductor does not
exist..
The McCanns in those early days shone with gleaming
white smiles and bronzed athletic bodies. They did not
look like parents suffering for the loss of their
daughter, in fact they did not look like they had lost
anything at all least of all the most precious thing in
the world. Madeleine.
Why the McCanns looked so pleased with themselves
remains a mystery. Why the McCanns look now the way they
do, there is no mystery, when you have lied , plotted
and schemed and continue to do so. There is no mystery
when your rich supporters seem to be slipping away.
There is no mystery as to their hatred for Mr.Amaral the
man the McCanns intend to destroy. Mr.Amaral who guessed
what really happened to Madeleine.
The McCanns faces reflect now the anguish of this
torment . The anguished torment that was never reflected
for the loss of Madeleine.
Maybe Madeleine was a little too much for her mother.
Kate McCann: My struggle to control ‘very difficult’
MadeleineLast updated at 19:06 17 September 2007
Kate McCann has revealed that she struggled to control
Madeleine McCann after the birth of her and Gerry’s
twins, it was revealed today.
Missing Madeleine would run around ‘screaming…shouting
for my attention’, the mother-of-three said.
In an interview given to a Portuguese magazine before
she was named as a suspect in the case of the four-year-old’s
disappearance, Kate also said the first six months of
Madeleine’s life were “very difficult” and that the girl
had suffered from colic.

crumble

The revelations come as police said they were trawling
through Kate’s medical records amid suspicions in
Portugal that she may have had a history of depression.
The detailed analysis of her medical notes could provide
them with significant evidence against the GP, who is a
suspect in the case of Madeleine’s disappearance.
Speaking about Madeleine’s upbringing, Kate, a
39-year-old GP, told Portugal’s Flash! magazine: “She
cried practically for 18 hours a day. I had to
permanently carry her around.”

This period explained “the strong bond between mother
and daughter”, she said.
Although the arrival of the twins Sean and Amelie shook
up Madeleine’s life, she accepted them very well, said
Kate.
“She managed to deal perfectly with this new reality,
although she herself at the time was still a baby.
“The worst thing is that she started to demand lots of
attention, especially when I was breast-feeding them.
Madeleine McCann: Would run around screaming and
demanding attention after her twin brother and sister
were born
“She would run up and down screaming in the background,
shouting for my attention.”
Mrs McCann also insisted that she and her husband were
“truly responsible parents” and had committed no crime.
Speaking of the night Madeleine disappeared, she said:
“I was sure immediately that she didn’t walk out of that
room. I never doubted that she had been taken by
someone.
“I went through a phase of guilt for not knowing what
happened to her. I blamed myself for thinking that the
place was safe.
“But the certainty that we are truly responsible parents
has helped me carry on.
“I know that what happened is not due to the fact of us
leaving the children asleep. I know it happened under
other circumstances.”
Asked about whether she and her husband were responsible
for their daughter’s disappearance, she said: “It cannot
be considered a crime. Someone committed one, but not
us.”
Portuguese newspapers continued to report today that Mrs
McCann will be re-interviewed in the UK this week by
British police on behalf of the Algarve authorities.
But a spokeswoman for the McCanns said the couple had to
date received no request for new interrogation.
The judge in the case, Pedro Daniel dos Anjos Frias,
rejected prosecutors’ request to have the McCanns
brought back to Portugal for further questioning, the
Correio da Manha said.
He insisted that the fresh interviews should be carried
out by British police in the UK, according to the paper.
The re-interviewing will only take place when further
DNA testing in Birmingham is completed, either tomorrow
or Wednesday.
cont…
A letter of appeal will be sent to Britain, setting out
all the questions Portuguese detectives want to ask the
couple, along with the evidence supporting their
hypothesis, the Correio da Manha reported.
A source told the paper there was only a “very low”
probability that Portuguese officers would be allowed to
sit in on the interviews.
A McCann family spokeswoman said today: “We have been in
touch with the lawyers to try and get a steer on what is
in the Portuguese papers.
“They assure us we have had no request to date for any
further questioning, either from the Portuguese police
or in the UK.”
She could not say whether the McCanns’ legal team was
expecting the couple to be re-interviewed.
Since Kate and Gerry McCann were named as official
suspects last week, there have been suggestions in
Portugal that Madeleine was given drugs on the night of
her disappearance.
The accusations have been strenuously denied by the
couple but have not been ruled out by police. Although
the order to seize medical files came from the
Portuguese authorities, the background searches are
being carried out by Leicestershire police.
A copy of Mrs McCann’s diary has also been seized by
police, who are now waiting for permission from the
judge to seize and dismantle the McCanns’ hire car so
they can search for “traces of skin”.
It has been reported that DNA evidence with a match to
Madeleine was found in the Renault Scenic 25 days after
their daughter vanished.
Yesterday it emerged the McCanns are trying to knock
down potential evidence retrieved after two British
sniffer dogs, capable of detecting blood and human
remains, were used in the investigation in August.
One of the dogs picked up a “scent of deathî on items
ranging from Mrs McCann’s clothes to Madeleine’s
favourite soft toy Cuddle Cat.
Leaked reports from the investigation have suggested
that Madeleine’s parents could have accidentally killed
her and then disposed of her body using the car.
Although they do not know the full details of the
Portuguese prosecutors’ case against them, the McCanns
are concerned that it may rest on the dog’s reaction.
The couple’s legal team has now consulted the lawyers of
an American man accused of murdering his estranged wife
in a case where “cadaver dog” evidence was central. They
want to highlight the judge’s dismissal of such evidence
in the high-profile Eugene Zapata murder trial in
Madison, Wisconsin.
Mr Zapata’s estranged wife, flight instructor Jeanette
Zapata, was 37 when she vanished in October 1976 after
seeing her three children off to school.
Her body has never been found. Detectives suspected Mr
Zapata of involvement in her disappearance but did not
charge him because of a lack of evidence.
Police decided to conduct new searches using cadaver
dogs and Mr Zapata, 68, was charged with firstdegree
murder last year after the dogs indicated that they had
scented human remains in an underfloor crawl space at
the former family home and other properties linked to
him.
But the judge ruled that the dogs’ ability to detect
remains was too unreliable, noting that no remains had
actually been found.

Snippet of interview with GA and MF.
McCannfiles
GA – The window made me doubt. And not only that.
MF – But I do insist on the window. The mother said that
she never touched it.
GA – That she never even opened it.
MF – Now, when I read the process, I realised that her
fingerprints were on it. And positioned in a manner that
coincides with an opening movement.
GA – It was with that, with Kate’s fingerprints on the
window that I wanted to catch them.
MF – That’s the truth of the lie.
GA – Among other things. It was one of the best games
that I ever saw played out, to divert attention from
what really happened in the apartment. The manner in
which they “worked” for the Smith was brilliant.
MF – The couple that recognised the father carrying the
little girl.
GA – Exactly. It was done in such a manner that at one
point in time, it was Gerry himself who informed that
someone had witnessed the situation, as if the person
that was recognised had been someone else.
MF – Wearing the clothes that the friend mentioned for
the photofit.
GA – Precisely.
MF – Do you still drink beer, or did you stop drinking
red wine after the news in the English press?
GA [laughs] – I never drank wine. I don’t like red wine.
MF – What really made them mad was being made arguidos.
GA – Now that you know the process, tell me… Under the
old Penal Process, how do I ask Kate: “Are you lying
when you say you didn’t touch the window? As a matter of
fact, it was you who opened the window. We have material
evidence of that.” A question like this forces the
constitution of arguido because it invades her sphere of
constitutional rights. I have to give her the right not
to reply, instead of lying. The only solution was to
make her an arguida.
MF – Things were different in my time. She would have
been under such an attack that before she realised
anything, she’d be in jail.
GA – Right, but in your time, in our old times,
investigation was made with fuel. Now we all move on
honey. Apart from that, this is a process that is
uncomfortable for everyone. Nicely archived, nice and
quiet, that’s how it looks better. Everyone was happy.
MF – And nobody was tried.
GA – Not yet…
MF – Do you still believe?
GA – It’s too big and too serious a burden to be
concealed by so many people for their entire lives.
Gonçalo Amaral in Amsterdam, 05 May 2009
Q: Do you think the children were sedated?
A: There is no doubt.
(Here he told an anecdote: that Kate called a colleague
of Gonçalo Amaral’s in the PJ, in August, to ask them to
check the twins for traces of sedation. Apparently Kate
was alone when she called, and a bit upset. That same
afternoon, Gerry called and cancelled the request.)
