Madeleine McCann search digs up the haters and misguided conspiracy theorists

Sky News presenter Kay Burley says ignore the haters and think of two desperate parents hundreds of miles away hoping against hope that nothing is found this time


Struggle: Gerry and Kate McCann

There can’t be many parents around the world unaware of the plight of a beautiful little girl who was only three years old when she disappeared in 2007, writes Kay Burley in the Sunday People.

Immediately recognisable by her first name, Madeleine, the eldest of the McCann children disappeared one warm May evening in 2007 as her parents dined with friends in a restaurant at their resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Despite an Interpol search and worldwide publicity nothing has been seen of the little one since.

This week, seven years on, police from the Met have begun searching an area of scrubland near the apartment including a deep, concealed shaft and sewers.

Could this prove to be the final resting place?

Her parents, Kate and Gerry, who suffer every single day with the consequences of their actions that night have decided not to travel to Praia da Luz for this latest hunt for Madeleine.

Who can blame them?

Well, it would appear quite a few. I am absolutely staggered by the number of people on social media who think they know exactly what happened to little Madeleine.

Conspiracy theorists believe that it’s only a matter of time before the McCanns are held culpable for their daughter’s disappearance.

They point out Kate refused to answer some questions put her by the Portuguese police. Kate was with her lawyer when interviewed by the police.

She would have been advised what to say.

The haters refer to cadaver dogs who showed ‘beyond doubt’ that a body must have been kept in the wardrobe of the apartment and then later driven in the McCann’s hire car to be buried.

Under the noses of the Portuguese police and the world’s press?

Easy to dismiss such claims as Looney Tunes, but even a national newspaper was guilty of claiming the McCanns know more than they have told the police .

As a mother I am offended and appalled by such unfounded allegations.

Every morning the McCann’s must wake up only to be smothered by a blanket of guilt.

‘If only we’d done this…’

They have always held on to the hope that Madeleine will be found alive.

So as the search continues, please ignore the haters and think instead of two desperate parents hundreds of miles away sitting by the phone and hoping against hope that nothing is found this time.

My initial reaction was that it was the usual sycophantic pile of manure but it is indeed cleverly written to put the other side of the story across.

Shoota! ‏@CaroleShooter
@DaSteelMan @RosalindaHu @_DarkMavis She didn't pinpoint exactly who the haters are. She left it all open ended. #mccann

Tasprin thanks for the diagram of dog alerts.

That bit in the burley piece 'smothered by a blanket' has bothered me so much.  Took me ages to get to sleep last night so I'm going to write this in the hope once I've got it down I might have a better sleep.

The night of the crying kate is there alone, gerry at the bar (quiz mistress) kate upset.  Maddie wakes won't go back to sleep (Kate's woken her whilst having the rage, who said the broken bed happened the night maddie disappeRed? We only have Kate's word).

She takes it out on maddie. (Phone records put her in the apartment at this time I believe).  Maddie is screaming for her daddy.  Kate cannot calm her & flips out smothering her.

Gerry returns, kate cradling her dead daughter (clothes pick up the scent) full of remorse/alternatively she puts maddie behind the sofa trying. To make it look like an accident.

They agree to cover it up.  Maddie is placed in the blue bag (here contamination may have occurred behind sofa if they stored the bag behind it). Gerry calls in favours from some of the T7, bag placed in garden for collection, madeleine is disposed of.  Bag back in wardrobe, contaminating wardrobe area.

At least a day & a bit left to come up with the idea of abduction, clean up, etc.

Car? Contamination from the blue bag that was disposed of along with the blanket.

Stands up as a theory?

A fairly plausible theory Shhh yes.

Although, if that WAS the scenario then i see NO reason why the rest of the tapas lot would risk everything and be willing to cover all that up for such a long period of time.

The broken bed you referred to. Have you a link to this? Have not heard of that before.

Just need to get the apparent blood splatter in there, otherwise I think you'd have nailed it!

Threw her in rage at the wall her scull fracturing or nose splatting

The question remains is why Mitchell wanted/needed to do this and why the McCanns went along with it?
I can't get my head round it. No scenario totally adds up.

Because they had to prove that Madeline was still alive and well at lunchtime on 3rd.
No one saw her on 3rd
Tapas group were banished to the `paraiso bar, first and last time
Kate was sent on a jog, to run PAST the paraiso, to give everyone including herself an alibi . . .

Then the family meet for tea, with Kate saying in one "version" she arrived to find them at tea, and in another "version", signing M out of the creche
The M is terminally fatigued and has to be carried back, then only P 'sees' her, or not for 30 minutes or 30 seconds, with Kate either naked or not and the children dressed in WHITE, (Not pink with eeyore)
Come on ! ! !

The Last Photo was Mitchell's finest Hour.
And we have blown it out of the water.

And, Yes Grange and several other people know all about it.

But will/is it being used is the $64,000 question. It also must require a very powerful reason for the Tapas 7, nannies and maybe some other people to keep quiet.

An accident wouldn't have this level of cover-up IMO.

Honestly, I think a bunch of yahoo GP's wazzing out on coke and wine, bonking each other's wives, with an embarrassing under-current of pedophilia, whether it was a sex crime or not, in the light of the sedating of kids would be enough to cause a few influential people to want to see it brushed under a carpet if, and only if, they were convinced it was an accident...
