if there was enough proof to prove what happened it would of been out by now, even if it was for or against the mccanns

there is no cover up, just not enough hard evidence.

let the professionals do their jobs, not the bloody internet police putting two and two together coming up with five.

professionals? who david beckham? isn't that where the mccans went , then the Pope? The police have asked for public input, now theyre getting it, so whats the problem

why too have these endless documentaries not mentioned madeleine had a mark on one eye , it may also be a different color?

No one could possibly justify the vast amount of money been thrown McCanns way esp after the millions donated to the "search fund they set up 6 DAYS after Maddies demise ,the eye thing ,early days police advised McCanns NOT to mention her eye as it could result as it could single her out and the "abductor" could harm her eye to prevent her being recognised, but McCanns ignored police advise and use the image in poster campaigns ,as Gerry said it was
"A good marketing ploy" since then they have played down her eye saying it was "just a tiny dot, hardly visible?????? they need to make their minds up

if you have information on the case, give it to the police,
don't read thru evidence that they already have and claim you have proof.

The irony of you accusing people of believing the red tops whilst dedicating years of your time to a case that centres around just one missing child that has become so well known and documented because of the tabloids is almost too good to be true

It's called 'Missing White Girl Syndrome'. You compare this case to the Sharon Matthews' one and just look at how the media treated the family (before they discovered Karen was responsible), with Maddie it was 'this poor family, how could it happen to the child of two Doctors, this doesn't happen to people like us' whilst with Sharon it was 'well have you seen the area she was living in I'm not surprised' and bringing her background and family life into disrepute almost immediately after it happened. Didn't happen so quickly with the McCann's other than condemning them for leaving her alone

Kazanne 21-10-2013 07:11 PM

People all have differing opinions and it's really petty imo,to get ancy because someone doesn't agree with you ,also I see no trolls ,just people who have different opinions,some agree some don't,nothing to get arsey over,there ARE several sites and links that can be read and people can then make their own minds up.I doubt very much that Chuff goes by what the red tops say,from what I've seen there is more than enough information out there.

I get that bit, I just don't see what race has to do with it, especially since they're both white

You forgot to mention JK Rowling,Richard Branson,Brian Kennedy (Everest double glazing ) who threw millions their way,I would love to know what happened to Elton John ,who Gerry said (48 days in ) was going to do a concert for the fund to mark the 100 days anniversary ,how did the McCanns know she would not be home by then ? The day the McCanns asked the public for £$ they became public property ,and should remember the old saying "Be careful what you wish for if could come back and bite you on the arse "

I don't really get why they make a point of only including race in the saying either tbh it's really to describe contrasting victims, whether that be race, social background, looks or whatever.

oh it's an actual phrase? the name is a bit inaccurate but they definitely make good points, if the McCanns had been working class and had been at the pub rather then at a restaurant, they would have been a whole lot more criticism of their parenting skills imo and I don't think people would be excusing it as a mistake or error in judgement

BIB - That's where they can't win really. Some people thought it strange that they wouldn't be searching tirelessly themselves for their little girl and then other people find it strange that they have the strength to go on a walkabout.

Keyboard warriors. YOU aren't going to achieve anything sat behind your computer reposting links on the internet.

You mean the tabloids didn't already write all kinds of venom about the McCann's years ago? Uh, oh yeah, they did.

Oh yes a lot than enough ,but its being ignored ,and people should be curious to why its being ignored ,the day I believe even the date
on a red top is a long way off

Does anyone else find it suspicious that they got matching "I killed Maddie and got away with it" tattoos?

This is hilarious to me because Chuff is the one getting arsey with everyone else for not swallowing everything she says or daring to question some of her points.

Instead of responding with an answer, she throws passive aggressive comments insulting you.

No point engaging on a discussion forum unless you want to actually discuss and not just dictate.

There are certain types of people who are not capable of discussing the weather never mind a more deeper thing ,I can and will discuss with the right type of people until the cows come home, but people who play Candy Crush all day ? No thanks

How many of the police statements have you read? how many files have you looked at ?

You've not attempted discussion with anyone and made immature presumptions on their ability to have a conversation.

It's hard to engage in discussion with someone who tells you to **** off before you've opened your mouth.

Chuff, what do you think actually happened that day in Portugal? I'm not being arsey, I'm genuinely interested.

Kazanne 21-10-2013 09:38 PM

This thread isn't about scoring points on who is right and who is wrong ,none of us know,but we ARE allowed opinions whether they conflict or not without being shot down,as parents I think they were negligent and should have been brought to task on that(there now I've said it)I hadn't read too much on it until the Crimewatch aired,now I have seen and heard some things that just don't sit right,so shoot me now,I don't know what happened but I 'feel' something is not right,hope I'm wrong.

They'd have been lucky if it made front page news in the first place... let alone major headlines several times a week for months, and front pages 7 years later.

Lets ask Kizzy from the previous page what she thinks about the evidence:



Right, so the links in this thread are not meant to prove anything, but they are evidence, and not heresay?

Well that's wrong as well. Just by picking apart one piece of the facts on display from those links, which is easily done with the dogs, for example, then the whole thing is called into question. They aren't facts. It's an internet trolling group that get together to hound the McCanns, because they are convinced of their guilt. Chuff has made that perfectly clear in this thread already. When you click the links, they aren't people who are just throwing interesting things about the case into the public arena for s**ts and giggles, they're doing it to try and provide "evidence" for the guilt of the McCanns

Witness statements are notoriously unreliable because of the way the human brain works to recall information, and especially in times of great stress. There are no solid facts to be found in this case other than a child is missing, that's it. So speculating about photo's and the grieving process with hints and double entendre is really neither here nor there.

I am reasonable, all my responses have been rational and reasoned.
The links provided by both chuff and josy have provided factual information on witness statements, whether or not you choose to accept that or not is your choice, nobody else is forced to take your interpretation are they?
Reading as much information as you can and staying objective is key I think.
