Hi all, some interesting studies following on from the Portuguese case against the McCann's. Any clues to add to this would be appreciated.
Having studied the case from back to front I have concluded that things are not what they seem. By that I mean that the timelines and the actual dates of events have become confused. This is because the Tapas nine including the McCanns did not become suspects in the case until the two police sniffer dogs were used in the case quite a while later. Questions were not raised about their movements until months after the event.
Eddie and Keela (Police dogs) were used and found evidence that Maddy died in the McCanns apartment at some time, not specifically on the 3rd May 2007.
Here are some interesting points that I have raised:
1. If you had accidentally killed or murdered your daughter and you wished to dispose of her body it would be extremely difficult to do so with very short notice. If she died on the 3rd of May 2007 at perhaps 6.30PM you would only have three and a half hours to find somewhere that is secure enough to avoid detection because the McCanns raised the alert that she was missing at 10PM that night. You would also draw attention to yourself carrying children down the street at the time she was missing when people would remember seeing you. Too risky, especially if you didnt have a clue where you were taking her. You have to remember these are pretty smart educated people and calculated too.
2. Eddie and Keela, the Police dogs found that Maddy (her corpse) had been in the McCanns bedroom wardrobe and behind the sofa for unknown periods of time. There is no way that the MaCanns would alert the police that she was missing while Maddys dead body was still in that apartment. The reason being is that the police could have brought sniffer dogs and located her dead body immediately and the McCanns couldnt afford to take that risk. Also there is a strong possibility the Police would have searched the wardrobe and the area behind the sofa.
3. If you evaluate the above two points and think about it, the safe option for the McCanns is to have kept hold of Maddys body the night she died, store it safely until the next day until you decide what you are going to do with it or how to dispose of it. Once you have done that you can raise the alert she is missing knowing full well her body is long gone. That would imply Maddy died on the 2nd of May and not the 3rd of May 2007.
For this to have happened there would have to be some tell tale signs that Maddy died on the 2nd May 2007 and not the 3rd.
The first indications that this may be the case are in the witness testimony. Several of the Tapas group have indicated that on the morning of the 3rd May the group broke from their normal routines and The McCanns did not do the things with the group they would normally do, for example they did not have lunch on the beach with the group as usual that day. Kate McCann was seen jogging that day at between 5.00 and 5.30PM, she jogged past the tennis court where most of the group were and when they shouted for her attention she did not respond as she normally would have so something was definitely amiss with her. They did not remember seeing the McCanns with their children on that day as much as they previously had done and because these questions were asked months after the event there is massive confusion as to the exact list of events and timeline.
For the McCanns to break from the normal routine is a possible sign that Maddy was already dead possibly dying the night before on the 2nd of May.
Several witnesses have stated that on the 2nd May the Tapas nine stayed out later than usual and drank quite heavily including the McCanns. So much so that one of the Tapas nine Rachael Oldfield was ill the next day from it. Problems relating to alcohol abuse are nearly always related to domestic violence in many cases and this is the one night of that holiday where large amounts of alcohol were consumed by the McCanns.
So, lets just say hypothetically that the McCanns came into apartment 5A later than usual on 2nd may 2007 having consumed large amounts of alcohol and find that Maddy is awake and has been mischievous. One of the McCanns accidentally or purposely kills Maddy in a fit of rage. Firstly they place her body behind the sofa till early the next morning, then Kate McCann realizes that the body cannot be left there on the chance it will be discovered so moves it to the wardrobe in their bedroom. This would explain the dogs finding the death scent in those two locations and on Kates trousers and blouse.
The next part of this mystery would have to include both Matthew Oldfield and Russell OBrien who are in the Tapas nine.
Gerry has a meeting with them the morning of 3rd May 2007 and tells them Maddy is dead. Gerry convinces them that the best way is to conceal the truth and get rid of the body and then later claim Maddy was abducted. They agree but must decide the best way of getting rid of Maddys body.
In his testimony OBrien has stated that he and Matthew Oldfield went sailing that day (3rd May before Maddy officially went missing that night), each of them had a single sailing boat and they went quite a way out to sea. During that trip Oldfield got into difficulty and ended up in the water and OBrian had to turn around and go help him.
Carrying on with the hypothetical, lets suggest they took Maddy in a large rook sack or a large shoulder bag along with rocks to use as ballast to sink her body. When the coast is clear they shove her over the side and she is in perhaps 100 feet of water.
The incident when Oldfield went into the water is their own explanation of events just incase anyone saw them from afar and something going into the water but its not Oldfield in the water it was Maddy.
They both return and try to carry on as normal.
The problem with this hypothetical is Maddy being missing the whole of the day during the 3rd May 2007. There are some strange witness statements during the days around the 2nd and 3rd of May 2007. Several of the children of the Tapas nine are reported ill and not attending the childrens clubs on or near those dates. The McCanns witness statements say that their children including Maddy went to the kids clubs that day. Again because of the Tapas nine not being suspects unlil the sniffer dogs went in, the Portuguese Police did not ask questions about this until months after and it is all rather confused and misleading.
Lets put this into our hypothetical again. On the morning of 3rd of May 2007 Maddy is dumped into the ocean after dying the previous night on the 2nd May. To ensure Maddy is witnessed in the kids club on the 3rd May Russell OBrien brings his own daughter Ella to the McCanns apartment and she is dropped off with the McCanns two other kids the twins at the kids club on the 3rd May. That is why the books at the club show the McCanns kids as being present. The Police would have to check those books thoroughly to confirm what took place but basically what Im saying is that Ella could have been passed off as Maddy that day and all the pictures of Maddy at the tennis venue and pool could have been from the previous day.
If you read all the witness statements of everyone there is much confusion during the 2nd and 3rd May and several children and adults are ill and missing from usual routines. This could be a definite red herring to stop the Police finding out that Maddy is actually missing on the morning of the 3rd May and already dead.
What happens then is more or less the official story but I will explain a few things that happened and a possible explanation for them.
Continuing with the hypothetical: The McCanns have to convince everyone in the Tapas nine (apart from the two that dumped her body) that Maddy is still alive so they set the evening up so that when checks are carried out, OBrien and Oldfield are the only ones allowed in their apartment. When you read the testimony this is actually what happens the whole night. But the McCanns have to ensure another thing happens. That is- the twins do not wake up and give the game away because if they do and someone else ends up investigating crying children then the game will be up. So the McCanns drugged them to ensure they wouldnt and the rest is history.
Under this scenario only four people know what happened to Maddy, both of the McCanns, Russell OBrien and Matthew Oldfield.
It may be of importance to find out therefore, where OBrien and Oldfield went with those sailing boats and to search that location.
