Its usually stated in an effort to discredit the police that they didn't seal off the apartment and such. Whats rarely mentioned is that they were not called until 40 minutes after the child was discovered missing and by then there had been endless tramples through the apartment by various people. While Kate and gerry did not bother to even ****ing LOOK for their missing child?! Its all just too unbelievable and it honestly riles me sometimes that anyone can look at this and say it was an abduction by a stranger. Jesus christ...the main thing that kate says made her think of an abduction as the 'jemmied shutters' and open curtain and wind blowing through the apartment, but this never happened..no shutters had been smashed or tampered with or anything. Its just insane.

Niamh if you have developed a need to look into this, might I suggest this http://l-azzeri-lies-in-the-sun.com/Key_Problems.html . Various 'problems' with the official line. Some of the entries contain parts of personal opinion but the huge majority of it is backed up by police files and such. Having said that, reading the files is good..no opinion at all in those. Also the truth of the lie documentary is interesting if you have an hour or so to kill ;p

Agree with this. The Portuguese Police looked bad due to stories that came out in our press and we now think those stories were leaked by the McCanns press team. Right from the beginning the MCCanns were very uncooperative.
