I'm not saying any of their actions were the right thing to do nor have I ever defended them. I have always thought they were behind it but after some deep diving, I've changed my mind but thats my own opinion.
The neighbour living directly above the McCanns said her flat was the target of a burglary the week before M went missing along with other spates in the neighbourhood. She also corroborated one of T9's statements of Kates reactions and what she was saying after they found out about M being missing. If this is correct, then people did have eyes on the apartment complex and would know the Tapas 9 evening routine of leaving the children alone. Theres so many files and theories regarding this case, my opinion is forever changing and the timeline is sketchy as hell.
I'm not even reading media articles on them, I was browsing the PJ files website and going through the files of interviews from witnesses.
We're forgetting the fact that the McCanns were also APPROACHED by these people wanting to represent them for FREE to help them. They were obviously a couple with a lot of connections that they used in any way they could? I know parents can do this to their children however after all these years, what is their reasoning to KEEP bringing this up? Surely if they were guilty, they would want to fade away and hope people forget their faces or keep things on a much smaller case? Their child went missing in a foreign country, the government would be involved regardless of Gerry's supposed connections with Gordon Brown.
I cant explain why they acted the way they did and WHY it took so long for them to acquire Madeleine's DNA/pictures but end of the day, we have no idea how we would react in a situation like that. Im curious to know your theory of what happened? Alot of people are saying they believe Maddie had an accident the 24 hours before she went "missing" which was fatal and the doctors tried saving her and failed hence the the cover up and why the creche couldn't confirm if Maddie had attended in the last few days and got her confused often with their friends child. I think the Creche at their resort is also horrendously inept in regards to sign in's, the temp unqualified staff, children not being accounted for and staff not being able to confirm if a child was there the day before! If you asked a teacher if a child was in school the day before, they would know?! Cat Baker is very fishy and the fact she flew in to Faro with the McCanns/Paynes and was in charge of Madeleine and was from the area which they live in just screams massive cover up. Theres so many variables.
