The Home Secretary has come forward and commended the Portuguese Police for the handling of the McCann case. The truth is we don't know what evidence the Portuguese Police have so there is no use speculating but UK Officials do and in their "professional" opinion, since it was the UK who carried out the Forensics, there is apparently overwhelming DNA evidence which supports the Portuguese Police and their belief the McCann's "accidentally murdered" their child.
With regards contaminated crime scenes, please remember this was a "holiday" apartment and there will be a million people's finger prints all over it anyway. Those who had access to it on May 3rd will have been fingerprinted and eliminated as a contamination, this will include cleaners and anyone who came in contact with the McCann's during their holiday and of course their Condo. As for the hire car, the McCann's were given it back on purpose, the P Police got everything they needed from it and because they had the couple under constant surveillance at the time they were simply trying to lull them into a false sense of security by returning the car so they could continue in their investigation of them which incidently included UK officers. Unless people have forgotten UK Police went to Portugal to assist in the investigation of Madeline's disappearance.
Like I said the Portuguese Police have evidence we don't even know about yet, but whatever it is it is enough for the UK Home Office to advise this couple to get their affairs in order and get a lawyer, which is I believe the reason the Portuguese didn't arrest them before they got on the plane.They know they have enough evidence but they also know the McCann's have children.
If the Portuguese are guilty of anything it's the fact they didn't believe in the first instance a mother could kill her child, which is understandable given their culture. Portuguese people don't go anywhere without their children. They certainly don't lock them in rooms while they eat meals. They take their families with them, so do the Italians. Family is an "absolute" in these cultures, its everything to them, it's not carried like a burden like it is in British culture with Over 18 Bars and restaurants you have to call beforehand to check you can bring your children at all.
As for the Portuguese and their apparently soft line on paedophile rings, maybe that's because the Portuguese don't experience crime's against children as often as we Brits do. Remember the FBI about 5 years ago who were infiltrating Internet Child Pornography Rings from the US dug up hundreds of thousands of British subscribers to such sites and as a result dubbed Britian the "Sceptic Isle"
It is this same respect for family that has the Portuguese begging the McCann's to cop a plea for the sake of their twins. The Portuguese have been really decent to this couple. They're just baffled by the couples delusional behaviour, no wonder the Portuguese Police laughed when they saw this couple on TV with the Pope looking for a child the P Police knew they'd killed. It was incredulation we saw photographed during their infamous lunch hour, not apathy as published by the British Press and to be honest I've felt it myself watching this couple two adorning the media for months, giving interviews, attending rock festivals, visiting the Pope. Has anyone noticed Kate's even had her highlights done? She's also sporting a rather nice hair cut in more recent pictures I've seen of her.
The McCann's have been given a reprise by the Portuguese Police who clearly feel sorry for them. Letting them leave the country without any hassle to get their life in order and hopefully be persuaded by their own government to accept the charges and take the two year sentence was an act of sheer kindness. Obviously the last place the Portuguese Police want to put these two parents is in Prison and for the rest of their lives, but the McCanns are forcing their hand and still the Portuguese Police are urging them to do what's right for their remaining childen, but they just won't. They're not even going to charge Gerry because they believe it was an "accidental murder".
The Portuguese Police are being overly sympathetic and the McCann's, who have become a PR Machine in recent months, instead of focusing on the reality closing in on them and thinking of their twins, are creating another reality which makes them the victims and not their missing daughter.
What the McCann's are asking all of us to believe is THIS.
A man broke into their GROUNDFLOOR apartment carrying some sort of sedative in a syringe. I wonder what he did with it while he was crawling through the window? Maybe it was in a special protective pouch. He would have had to have been very careful with it anyway because if it gets air in it then Madeline will die of an embolism when he injects her. Of course he may have added the sedative when he got inside the Condo. This will take a good couple of minutes. Who's his look out while he's doing all this? Who's he got checking no one is coming to the apartment from the front of the Condo, which he can't see remember because he is in the back of the Condo breaking into it. How long would this take? How come he did not wake any of the other children or Madeline while carrying out a not so easy operation when you really sit down and think about the logistics of it? How was he able to adminster the drug to her while she slept without waking the other children or waking her for that matter? He would have had to have pierced her skin remember. He would also need light to get the right vein. You can't just stick the needle in anywhere. And how did he manouever a four year old and himself out of the window, she would have been a dead weight after being drugged. He wouldn't have been able to negotiate the window and the weight of the child. So how did he get back out of the window? Did he use the front door and if so how come no one saw him come out of it? In fact how come no one saw this man except one of McCann's drunk Doctor friends who reportedly saw a man with a child wrapped in a blanket around 8 O'Clock in the evening, but thought nothing of it. Although later she said she couldn't be certain of the time or in fact what the man looked like or even if he was carrying anything at all.
As for the blood in the apartment - when Kate McCann was questioned about it last week she was told it was blood of a body believed to be already dead and her response was "That's impossible" The Portuguese asked her why it was impossible and she refused to comment exercising her right to not answer any further questions. There were 40 of them.
Do you know why this is incriminating? It's because I suspect they haven't found blood and only someone who knew their daughter had died of an over dose of sedatives would know that there was no blood because that's the reason the Police believe Madeline died and why the twins didn't wake up. They had also been sedated. Kate McCann sedated her kids so she could have dinner with her husband and a terrible accident occurred as a result, but what happened after that is what is holding back this confession. The lie they told the world, the lie they told the Pope of all people and of course the lies they've been telling their families. How can they confess now?
Let me add something else. I'm a mother and I worship the ground my children walk on. If I believed the Portuguese Police were going to set me up for something I didn't do and there was a chance I might get life because of it, I'd take the plea even if I didn't do it because when it comes to my children I have no pride, only love and the idea of not seeing them for the rest of their lives when I could be home in two years... are you kidding? Screw being a hero. I'd rather be a mother and I'd sign anything. I wouldn't care what the world thought of me, but then again I wouldn't have travelled the world and left my remaining children who just lost their sister alone while I "campaigned" at rock concerts. Wouldn't you need to be with your kids more in the face of a lost child? Wouldn't you cling to those left behind and let the Police do their jobs? Who are these people?
Did you know they have hired the lawyer who represented General Pinochet to defend them?
When it comes down to it British people just can't get their head around the fact that two white middle class Doctors could be capable of a crime like this. Lets be clear though, the crime in question is "accidental murder". No one thinks the McCann's intentionally killed their child, I certainly don't, the Portuguese Police don't but they intentionally lied to the world about the abduction and in spite of everything at least the Portuguese Police have kept that much in perspective because the McCann's haven't. The Portuguese don't give a **** about the circus the McCann's created to cover up their crime, they only care about what happened to Madeline and where she is now.
When the McCann's are charged and the truth comes out you can be sure the British won't have any perspective. Our media and our culture will show no mercy. The Brits will be angrier at the cover up these people took part in than the manslaughter of their child. This is what the McCann's are really afraid and why they won't confess. They're not scared of the Portuguese, they're scared of the British. They'll be toast over here and they'd rather languish in a Portuguese jail than live through the hell our media would most certainly put them through if they stood up and told the truth.
