yeah it was brilliant! honest, only used it if they were ill, but it worked a treatI remember hearing about that medicine in the 80's, people were using it to try to get their children to sleep.

I think my GP prescribed it or something similar for one of my children.yeah it was brilliant! honest, only used it if they were ill, but it worked a treat
It was exactly the same as Calpol Night.Sorry to jump randomly into the thread- long time lurker.
My kids are around the same age Maddie would be now, and I remember when they were smaller, 2 or 3 years old, there was a ‘popular’ medication available OTC called Medised. IIRC, it was a children’s paracetamol combined with an antihistamine.
It was used to help with pain but also had a mild sedative effect. I often wondered over the years if this is what the McCanns may have used to help the kids sleep. It was often touted on parenting forums as being good for keeping kids settled on long journeys/ flights.
I don’t think it’s available anymore but most OTC sleeping tablets for adults have the same antihistamine ingredients.
Yes but evidence is needed to support the dogs indication, otherwise all you have is a dog that sat down or barked or whatever. They are trained dogs but without evidence you have nothing.The dogs alerted in their apartment and in the boot of their hire car.
When asked why that would be - Jerry's response was: 'Ask the dogs Sandra'.
If you believe in the dogs there is only one explanation..........................
The hire care they rented weeks after the disappearance? Did they dig her up and move her or something all while being watched and accosted by the non-stop British press? They are the greatest criminals in the history of criminals according to some on here.The dogs alerted in their apartment and in the boot of their hire car.

Didn't necessary have to be a body, could be anything that came into contact with one. Someone (in my opinion) died in that apartment and there is only one missing person.The hire care they rented weeks after the disappearance?

How do you think the parents got rid of MM's body when they were at the tapas bar? Do you think this could have happened before they went for dinner - so they disposed of her body, while looking after the twins, then went for dinner? Or they hid her body, while looking after the twins, then disposed of her later with the eyes of the press on them?Didn't necessary have to be a body, could be anything that came into contact with one.

This is where “the McCanns did it” theory loses me, I just can’t fathom how they’d dispose of a body with everything else going on as you said, in a holiday resort, where presumably they wouldn’t be massively familiar with any potential body dumping spots, AND THEN get away with it for this long.How do you think the parents got rid of MM's body when they were at the tapas bar?

I dunno, it sounds a stretch to me, like how and why would they do this?
Yes, it’s the outright dismissal itself which is curious. And the McCanns were similarly dismissive of the Smith sighting.The part I always found odd is how the McCann’s immediately dismissed the dogs findings.
If my child had gone missing, apparently abducted, and then the cadaver dogs indicated a dead body had been in that same room I would be inconsolable, wondering if they’d been killed in that room. Yet they immediately dismissed it as being wrong. How do they know it was wrong? Why did they never consider it as a possible option? Surely you would consider ALL possible scenarios?
One possibility is their connection to Clement Freud. He might have been helpful as a local. But then, were they so familiar with him, to trust him in such an extremely delicate matter, to say the least?This is where “the McCanns did it” theory loses me, I just can’t fathom how they’d dispose of a body with everything else going on as you said, in a holiday resort, where presumably they wouldn’t be massively familiar with any potential body dumping spots, AND THEN get away with it for this long.
But I would love to hear thoughts on how it could be possible.
The refusal to take part in the re-enactment may be down to pure embarrassment and shame. It would mean they would have to pretend to have dinner away from their kids while one was being abducted....Yes, it’s the outright dismissal itself which is curious.

The refusal to participate in a re-enactment - again very strange behaviour.
Gerry being unlikeable does not make him guilty of covering up an accidental death. However - the clip of him saying that five or six weeks after Madeleine’s disappearance, they were glad the media attention went quiet so he thought “we’d start to get back to a sort of more normal existence” - not only is that unfathomable to come from the father of a supposedly abducted child, he goes on to say they could then broaden their focus to the wider political issues
Possibly although everything else indicates there was zero shame or embarrassment. Quite the opposite if you recall Kate saying - as just two examples - “we felt guilty but only for a few days” and “I know we are very good parents”.The refusal to take part in the re-enactment may be down to pure embarrassment and shame. It would mean they would have to pretend to have dinner away from their kids while one was being abducted....
Yes, and also any legal advisor would tell the parents not to do a re-enactment - police only ask people they suspect of a crime to do a re-enactment. It's a great way to make yourself look like a guilty criminal, in the same way as attending court in 'on remand' clothing or doing a 'perp walk' into court.The refusal to take part in the re-enactment may be down to pure embarrassment and shame. It would mean they would have to pretend to have dinner away from their kids while one was being abducted....
