Madeleine McCann #6

I truly believe if they were 2 people on benefits and living on a council estate the other two children would have been taken away from them.

This is odd.
Someone (supposedly a detective) has written a new book about the case and has held a press conference to launch it. The timing is interesting - presumably they were waiting for the announcement of another huge sum of money being chucked at the ‘search’ for maximum interest in the book. I wonder if the Mccanns will try to squash it.

So from the Twitter thread some bonkers ex detective is talking about Kate McCanns dreams and directly accusing them of killing Madeline. He's also saying he knows where she is buried and that she died the day before?

The McCanns and co stamped all over any evidence in their apt. I agree that you are more likely to be killed by someone you know and the last person to see you alive.

Let's not forget poor Shannon Matthews in all of this, her mother saw the public appeal and had £ signs in her eyes after the Maddie case & arranged the fake kidnap of her own F'kin daughter!!! I also feel for Ben Needham's family whenever the Maddie case is mentioned. I hope one day they get closure. Kerry left him safe with his Grandparents while she went off to work, not left him alone while she went out to dinner & drinking.

I always felt, and still feel, so bad for Kerry Needham and her family. They seemed very genuine people, and were truly broken.

I wasn't convinced by the police's conclusion a few years ago that he died in an accident involving a digger on the day he went missing.

I mean I know consultants and doctors are well paid but how the fyvk have they saved almost £1million?

I agree with the comment above, if she were alive I don’t think she’d even want her parents back.

Saw this on X and I wouldn’t believe anything that cold eyed man said. What a way to answer “did you kill your daughter?” No emotion, either of them. Stone cold he is. I’m no expert on body language but he touched his nose as he replied. Just something really, really off about the pair of them.

It was too darned convenient that the bloke driving said digger had died

If Ben had wandered into that building site and befallen an accident Rita, that digger driver might not have even seen him a little boy in amongst the rubble, playing with his toy cars, digger man just doing his job in a high up cab & not noticing a little lad under a digger bucket? I can quite well understand how that might have happened, sad as it is. You can't say it's 'too damned convenient' he died, as nobody can prove he was responsible for Ben's death.

I read the McCanns missed a vigil this year, is this the first time they've not attended?

I think that nutter who says she is Madeleine attended so, as much as I dislike them, I’m not going to criticise them for wanting to avoid her. She’d have no doubt sought them out and then posted it on social media.

Convenient that the bloke is no longer around to put his side to the story, to implicate or clear himself. As it stands people will invariably think he did it, whether he did or not.

Ah thanks. Seems odd not to attend though.

Oh, I see what you meant now, I thought he'd been spoken to about it more than once before he died, but could be wrong. It's like the Maddie thing I guess, there are people that will always think the parents did it, whether they did or not, you are right.

what do you mean about the shorts please?
Ben's gran had hung his wet shorts on the tree branch to dry them out. When she realised Ben was missing, the shorts were also gone. Ben couldn't have reached up to them himself.

I do find Bens mother much more sympathetic. Could be my background.
I sometimes feel bad for thinking Mccanns are suspicious. I base it a lot on how I react to them. That I don’t like them.

I think this is at the root of all the MM debate - people didn't trust the parents, they were seen as cold and people didn't feel sympathy for them.
I think part of the parents presentation is down to their professional background, GM particularly is also verbally combative and unappealing to the media.

But none of this means that the parents were involved in any way with her disappearance, their unlikeability is not proof of guilt. Obviously, they should not have left 3x small children in an unlocked apartment, they were negligent and arrogant, but their presentation has affected the public perception of them. It would have been so different if the parents were non-professionals on a budget break, we wouldn't still be talking and looking for their child all these years later.

She seemed a nice person and very genuine
