1) Do you have a link re the lawyers called within 48 hours? I dont recall that TIA
2) I dont believe they did the set up of the website themselves did they? I dont see anything sinister in it anyway.
3) The UK gov did not protect them from investigation.
4) Neither of the McCanns contacted the media personally.
5) The world knew they had left the children alone so why would they mention it? I fail to see what is wrong with using what contacts you may have to help find your child and keep her in the headlines.
6) Whilst not what everyone would do it doesnt make them killers.
7) Do you have the link for them asking for the questions in advance because if that is true why didnt they have answers to them all? Why were some unanswered?
You emailed the Chief of Police to ask him why the police werent looking for Madeleine?
Hi Daffidil,
You might want to sit down with your beautiful crown among your crowd, your host of golden daffodils. LOL Your nik has great memories for me learning Wadsworth.
I come unprepared for links but have studied this case day and night it seems with a passion for 8 1/'2 months.
A couple of these questions I might know the answers to:
I also heard that 2 lawyers arrived from England within two days from when she was taken. IMO these lawyers were not criminal defense types, but rather financial and document people, for within 10 days of Madeleine's disappearance the Fund was established, and by the 12th day it was a done deal and in place. Team McCann was on it's way take over the finding of Madeleine.
Those involved were basically family except for some dear friends and acquaintances, one of which was the young pluck of a teen who established and has run the website all of this time. He was under the tutiledge of Auntie Phil who had him in class at school.
The UK Governnent wrapped them in protection from the night she went missing, when one high up in the ranks was interrupted at a cocktail party got a call that a young 3 year old British girl had been abducted in Portugal. The protectorates were immediately involved as Gordon Brown and Clarence to a commenting Tony Blair put up a staunch wall for this abduction to give it the highest regard. Next we know that Gerry is calling Brown on his tele on a routine basis and that although the PJ on scene that night saw no evidence of abduction, that is what the PJ were bound to investigate at the lead from the British LE who were immediately called into the case and followed their superiors lead from the high portals of the government.
Carlos Anjos had an interview in which he made a statement that the very first call the parents made was by Kate to SKY news, even before the police were called to the scene. It is verifiable that the call went to the local Algarve correspondant.
The GNR were called to the scene at 10:40pm, 40 min after she was discovered gone. This call to SKY was made soon after the GR arroved. Two members of the GR commented in an article that Kate was on the phone continually to the media. The PJ were then called by the GNR,who thought a crime had been committed {which is their regulations,which was logged into the PJ station at 11:50pm. They arrived around midnight.
Anjos went on to say that it was 1 1/2 hours after the PJ arrived that SKY News was on the scene in PDL. In person, taking everything in and writing their script for a 6:30am broadcast that would wake up the world to Madeleine's plight.
I do agree with you Daffodil, but after what they had done in leaving their 3 children alone, which was night after night BTW and not just on the 3rd, if they saw the error of their ways the normal thing expected by the public would be to have a presser and make an apology. To tell the truth, express their sorrow at their mistake and beg for the public to please help them by searching for her everywhere, in barns, bldgs, under bridges, etc.
They didn't do this. 5 days later they did have a presser, but the problem is the world did not see them as sincerely distraught, and it was quite a lame statement made anyway. Hold that up to the way all the other parents have reacted where there wasn't even any negligence and you would wonder what is up with these people. They seem cold, and that stayed in the back of minds all this time.
I agree with you too that just because they didn't act like sincere grieving parents like people expected them to, it doesn't make them killers. People all over the world gave money to help fine Madeleine. They thought of her plight
But what I have always thought Daffodil, is that what if these 2 parents saw or caused her death and failed to call emergency to get her any help that could have possibly save her life? Would you respect them and hold them above fault in regards to their little wisp of a girl, Madeleine?
To think that her own parents could in silence and with a quick plan and a pact, spirit her away against the law of the land and mankind, to hide her and then have the gaul to dare the police to find her to prove she had died.
Tonight we know the PJ know when and how she was taken from the apt and where she was kept for a few days. It broke my heart to hear that as I wanted her to be alive. And learning that the bodily fluids and blood in the Scenic were hers, post mortem, Eddie alerting to her death scent, Gerry borrowing Russell's car on the night of the 3rd and a phone call he made sitting now on Rebelo's desk. It is all coming together now with facts that have been the subject of great and tedious investigation.
I apologize for seeming a bit stiff in writing to you. In the back of my brain I have all these things recently confirmed about Madeleine and we are on the eve of the interrogations of the T7 or some of them. Clarrie says they now have a request from Eurojust for interviews. I think the parents will be charged in the due process of time. Madeleine will get justice.
But she will never run and play again here with us. For that I am angry at those who cared about her less, and why she got no help from her protectors when she was helpless and needed it the most. So sad. xoxoxo
