Kate's bruised arm

[armywife210]

Exactly! And I am so surprised that there hasn't been more suspicion about it. I mean, sure anything could have bruised her... It doesn't look like just "anything" though. It looks like a hand. Yes, it could very well be an innocent grab that bruised... it's the timing that makes it suspicious. I just wonder if there was an incident where she was going to break down and tell the truth when he grabbed her tightly and told her that she would do no such thing. I bruise very easily. I am light skinned with a lot of red in my hair... the "bruise easy complexion". My oldest daughter is even worse as her hair is flat out red and she is more pale than I am... but never have either one of us had a vivid hand print bruise on us!
And who's to say that those bruises aren't worse than they look, perhaps they WERE covered up with some makeup?!

I would have to say that I agree with you, AW210. It does look like a bruise from someone's grip on her in that area. You can see where at the top it looks like a thumb print and right below, you can kinda make out the other fingers.
For what it's worth, I do agree that it should have been questioned by the police.:twocents: JMHO.....

For all we know they WERE questioned about it.
We don't get all the info ya know.

The picture I thought was strange was the one where he has his arm around her waist and is copping a feel of her breast. His elbow was bent, so he could have easily lowered his hand. What man poses for a picture like that?

Haven't seen that one interestedwoman

:doh: Good grief! Sometimes a bruise is just a bruise

I'm not saying that because of this they are guilty!!!! I am just saying that the bruise looks like a pretty fresh hand print. You would think that EVERYTHING would be looked into very carefully in a situation like this. And it very well could have been.

To be honest, I am not sure where I stand with this case at all... With all of my heart I want to believe that they did not harm that little angel of theirs. And there just isn't enough to sway me one way or the other.

This case is so weird that I am just looking at every little detail I can find.... no need to "good grief" me. :slap:

Maybe Gerry did bruise her arm when she returned to the Tapas Bar to tell him maddie was missing. He grabbed her arm to calm her or stop her from moving so he could get more info from her. I would image she was probably histerical when she returned to the Bar and screamed what she scream and started to run back to the room.

This is JMO

You imagine an awful lot - JMO

In this case, a man with very small hands.

I couldn't agree more. And I'm not even pro McCann...

I think that is part of the problem isnt it? Every little detail/word/gesture is being over analyzed to the point of over reacting.

No need to poke me in the eye either -I might get a bruise lol

If you don't like my post don't read them - very simple. Otherwise just stick to the case - this is about finding Maddie McCann - not putting others down.

Those are my opinions and I am allowed to have them.

 

[armywife210]

wow, one question about a bruise and everyone is getting ugly! I wasnt even implying anything really. Just making a comment and wondering if anyone else saw what I saw and what ideas might come out of it.

 

[Texana]

armywife, you could probably start a thread about Kate's hair style and get several very passionate responses. :crazy:

Not having a bruise does not mean Gerry doesn't react physically at times.

Having a bruise doesn't mean that he does.

But yeah, every little thing will get analyzed and discussed, because a little girl went missing.

 

[kazzbar]

I have read this whole thread...
and I look at my bicep and yes, I have a huge black bruise on it...no, my hubby does not beat me ( If he did then he'd better do a good job as he would be sorry)..and I do not recall how I got it...a bruise on an arm is not a smoking gun on its own. To make any connection with spousal abuse is jumping the gun...

Yes - its true, a bruise on the arm is not a smoking gun, in and of itself. However, a bruise on the arm, that in my opinion, looks consistent with someone grabbing a person, within a few days of a child gone missing, warrants another look.

I believe that Kate and Gerry argued right before the very first video interview with SkyNews. I believe this based on their actions and the impression I got of how angry Kate was. I also believe that all throughout that interview Kate was thinking to herself - what the heck is going on and why are we continuing down this road. I really think Kate had some things to say and Gerry had convinced her not to say them.

I think that very first interview is very telling.

After the "bruise" picture surfaced, they were followed up with pictures of Kate in long sleeves. I would venture to guess (just a guess, mind you) that it was in the 80 and 90ies in the Algrave at the time.

I do think the bruises warrent further investigation.

I don't think so much of the bruise mark...
Many people bruise real easy.

I bruise easily, too. I also agree that a bruise can be caused by almost anything.

However when a bruise shows up at the same time a mother reports her child missing, I think it takes on more significance.

 

[txsvicki]

If Kate bruised all that easy, then some bruises should have been seen on all the tv shots and photos of her running around in those skimpy holiday clothes and skirts. Shin bruises, side of leg, etc.

 

[Salem]

I think the bruise is significant. I really believe that Kate wants to tell the truth, whatever that truth is, and Gerry is holding her back. Unfair in my mind. I have believed that since the very first video done by Sky News. To me, it was obvious that K&G had "words" before the filming of that video and I think those "words" continued for awhile. I believe Kate has something to say and her insistence that she be allowed to say whatever it is, is what that bruise is based on. My opinion only and no I don't have a source, just my own reading of the personal "interplay" between G&K in those many videos we have had the opportunity to watch.

On this, we are in total agreement.
