..that was a really absorbing watch, Niamh...not just relating to Madeleine’s disappearance ..but also in general of statement analysis...I hadn’t known there was such a thing actually...(...actually is a red flag word I think..ooooops..)...
...but yeah..the past tense thing ...(...with always the belief that she was taken but still alive..)...has always felt a bit odd...and also in a time of such extreme panic and chaos emotionally and with their thoughts etc... when she was discovered gone...Kate said her immediate thoughts were of what Madeleine had said, which is why she knew she had been taken...so it was not acted on in leaving the children alone again but it was the first immediate thought...?...I don’t think chaotic and panicked minds have immediate thoughts, do they..?...and not connecting in that way to what Madeleine had said...connection comes when the mind becomes less chaotic, surely...connection requires a calm mind ..?...anyways yeah...an absorbing and interesting vid, thank you Niamh..
