Here's a new thread for general discussion. Feel free to start threads on certain subjects that you'd like to discuss.
Maybe Moongoddess knows something about the strollers--owned vs. rented, since she was at the resort?

Hopefully she knows something about the toilets used too. This sounds totally disgusting, but after reading about the woman who tried to flush her newborn baby, it had me thinking that maybe a couple doctors could possibly bleed out, dismember and flush smaller parts of a small child. The torso & head could have been stored in the tank behind the seat for a few days in the cold water. We have rather large tanks on a regular toilet here, but I have no idea what they look like there. I see people talk about wrapping her body in blankets and towels, but most hotel rooms I've stayed in have had a large selection of plastic laundry bags...She could have been easily carried out in one of those without causing much suspicion or a shopping bag for that matter, if only parts of her where left.

Thanks JanetElaine, that is very interesting. MoonGoddess, do you know what kind of locks are on the french doors there? I know in many of the reports I've read Kate and Gerry said they left those doors unlocked to check on the children. I've seen where there are additional locks that are on the inside such as bolts but I didn't get the impression that the french doors were secured in any manner.
Does anyone else recall that when the Portugese tracking dogs were first brought in, shortly after Madeleine went missing, they tracked her to another apartment in the complex, and to the grocery store that was near by. I had thought perhaps at the time, that they were actually tracking blood on someone else's shoes. Does anyone know how trash is disposed of from the apartments? Is there a large trash bin at that grocery store? What about a large freezer that could have been used? Just thinking horrible thoughts here...... I hate this.
I am bringing this over from another thread because it is more appropriate in the general discussion than it is there (and I fear it might get deleted, lol). My post was brought on by this quote:
I have been wanting to say this about the locked/unlocked door part. Being from Europe I've been to a lot of European countries and the doorknobs/doorhandles are different than in the US.
In the US I have encountered many a door where you can just turn the doorknob from the outside and it will open the door if not locked. 'Locking the door' in the US usually means locking this doorknob, sometimes a seperate deadbolt is locked too (through a seperate keyhole).
No-where in Europe have I ever encountered a doorlock like this (and I have actually stayed in resorts in towns near Praya da Luz as well). Once you close the door it is impossible to open it without using a key. A lot of people also lock the door but that is an extra precaution like the deadbolt in the US. It just happens through the same keyhole that you use to unlock (open) the door when you want to get in.
A door in Europe would be called 'unlocked' when it is only pulled closed behind someone (even though you would need a key to open the door again).
An unlocked door in the US can still be opened from the outside without a key by turning the doorknob.
Just an observation, and hopefully MoonGoddess can shed some light on this also.
Maybe they only booked the first stroller for the duration of their holiday dates and this had to be returned. They then had to hire a second as they didn't return home.Can't understand why they would change strollers even if they were rented! Surely if you had twins you would have a stroller at home & bring it with you? I went on hols with kids aged 3 & 4 & I brought a twin stroller with me. Young kids get tired walking.
One of the pics with Gerry pushing the 3 wheeled stroller totally covered by a dark cover could have concealed Madeleines body, no child was visible.

This is from another thread, but IMO, has some real cover up issues surrounding it......
From a post by Cali -
c. Kate McCann's screams to GM at 10:00 that "They took her", as she raced back to the restaurant without the twins. Who is "they"? Which one of her daughters is "her"? Like if she suspected that someone had kidnapped one of the children, why would she leave the twins alone?
My response.....
WOW, this sets my hinky meter off - good call Cali -
WHY would she leave the two twins alone when she just found her one daughter missing..........
WHY did she say "THEY took HER"; if that is in fact exactly what she said. Can anyone verify this? This sounds like a staged comment. THEY - who is they?? why did she say they? and HER - her who? There was another little girl in that room that night - Kate didn't specify which child was taken. Shey just said "THEY (small foreign faction??) took HER."
Wouldn't you think she would have said something more along the lines of "Maddie is not in the apartment" or "Maddie isn't in her bed" -
NOT - THEY TOOK HER!!!!!
In a way it sounds to me like a rehearsed script

Anyone else following the many interviews that Philomena McCann has been doing? (a very vocally supportive family member that is often referred to as "Aunty Phil") Some of the things she says, as she flits from one interview after another, are almost comedic in nature, but this case isn't something to be made light of. She's regaled the cadaver dogs along the lines of "Lassie"... she's said Gerry told her not to antagonize the Portuguese, but then went on to call the PJ imbeciles (nothing says "NOT antogonzing them" like calling the PJ imbeciles)... and one that had me shaking my head at her, she said: "the police shouldnt be looking at any evidence that implicates Kate and Gerry".
Seriously... why are the McCann's allowing this lady to speak for them? She's doing them more harm than good... and as each day passes and she engages in more interviews, the more crazier she sounds. Team McCann needs to seriously put a muzzle on her...
