Thanks to the Mirror board posters, and a couple that I remembered, I realized that leaving the babies alone and unprotected is only a very small part of why I have a problem with Gerry and Kate McCann and believing them when they say they had nothing to do with Madeleine's vanishing.
I am suspicious because:
They left 2 and 3 year-old children alone in a strange environment AT NIGHT, with doors unlocked, in a foreign country!
Upon discovering Madeleine missing, and being immediately convinced she had been kidnapped, Kate leaves the sleeping twins, ALONE, in the same apartment, to run back to the Tapas bar, even though she and Gerry had cell phones.
Even though they were convinced of being "watched" while at the Ocean Club and then after the 'abduction' of Madeleine, they left their two other children, in the same town, in the same resort, in the same creche, and flew off to Europe.
The Find Madeleine Campaign Fund paid a couple of the mortgage payments while they were trotting around Europe and the USA learning about 'missing persons' agencies and their methods!
Instead of calling the Police on the night of May 3rd...they and their pals wasted precious time scouring the apartment looking for Maddy in the cupboards EVEN THOUGH THEY INSISTED that she was abducted!
Instead of asking for all relevant info about sightings to be checked a.s.a.p. they prefered to have it filtered back to the 'relevant authorities' and not be 'bothered with it' and went to Spain for a TV interview instead!
Gerry was the last person to say that he saw Madeleine alive and well in 5A!
Instead of focusing on Madeleine in the blog, they just give us constant, apparently useless info about their daily routine, and how 'things are getting back to normal again'....albeit without Madeleline!
They swore they would never leave Portugal without Madeleine, and yet, as soon as they were made Arguido they hopped onto the first plane out and didn't even bother to inform the Police until they had reached the UK!
Rather than being out knocking on doors of locals, asking them if they'd seen anything in the past few days (May 5th-8th) , Gerry booked himself a tennis lesson, leaving Kate alone with the twins!
As soon as they were asked in public by the media if they had anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance, they immediately cease their European junket style campaign tour and hightail it back to Luz!
Gerry's twitching and ear scratching body language when asked about
you know what.
Instead of using an up-to-date photo of Madeleine for the Campaign....the 'LOOK' for Madeleine campaign.....they've used older pictures, when she is much YOUNGER, so the 'find' part of the campaign will be much more difficult!
On that fateful night Gerry thought how beautiful his children were and how lucky he was to have them, and then felt that someone was hiding in the room but then he returned to his meal anyway.
How they changed their tune regarding the shutters being jemmied and about locking the front door THAT night.
They said they would do 'everything in their power' to assist the PJ, yet when questioned they failed to answer some, or all, of the 40 questions relating to MADELEINE'S DISAPPEARANCE, and thus it was agreed between their lawyer and themselves and the PJ, that they should became 'Arguido'!
They turned down the GBP10.00 babysitting service on the night of May 3rd, because they said they didn't want to 'leave the kids with a stranger'...ALTHOUGH the so-called stranger would have IN FACT been ONE OF THE NANNYS that looked after the kids at the creche during the day, already aquainted with Madeleine!
Gerry said he couldn't even 'contemplate returning to work knowing Madeleine is still missing', yet now, he's saying that he's returning after ensuring 'others' will keep up their efforts, not expecting 'any breakthrough' unless Madeleine is found.
Gerry's premium rate chatline to 'find' his daughter.
They are charging 10p to download a copy of a find Madeleine poster! If they really want people to find their daughter, these posters should be free and then when someone asked Gerry's sister, Philomena, about how the funds were being used, they were told "tough, if you don't like it, don't donate".
Despite a £2.5 million reward being offered there has been no credible sighting or information about the so called "abduction". No one connected with the faceless zombie abductor (with the nice shoes), the arab kiddy smuggling gangs or the portuguesse paedophile gangs, have come forward to try to claim the reward by giving information. This is one of the best incentives to gain information and you hardly hear anyone, if at all, from Team McCann mention this massive reward.
