How old are the twins now? I have always felt sorry for them.

Surely one of the friends will snap at some point if in fact it is all a cover up?

They must be 13 now. K and G once said they were asked at school about them being involved in her disappearance, so I'm sure its something they'll have had to have talked about, it won't come as a shock to them if they surf the internet that there are these theories, but who are they going to believe?

Surely they can't all be in on it, if there was a cover up? I think the cover up for most if not all of them was to protect themselves as well as K and G against the press and the public knowing that children had been left unattended with doors left unlocked, and possibly sedating them so they could all have evenings out together. I doubt very much it was just K and G doing that, they will have talked about it and they are intelligent people who know that's not really going to be seen as acceptable behaviour. One of the police interviews had a comment by the Portugese police that leaving children alone while on holiday is considered 'normal' in our culture, so that's clearly the tack they took: "yeah, yeah, EVERYONE does that, its not negligent, it wouldn't be considered bad by the British police... let's move on".

Id never heard of medised, my son had phenagon 20 yrs ago and the dictor prescribed the wrong dosage, my goodness I thought my child wasn’t going to wake up.
I don’t understand why parents go on holiday and don’t accept they’re not going to get time to themselves unless there’s a kids club. I find it hard to believe she was taken, like how did someone fully know those kids were alone. But on the other hand if she did die in that apartment how did they get rid of her body. My head just goes around in circles, I don’t think we’ll ever know the actual truth,

sorry for the terrible spelling in last post was on the train writing it ..fat fingers ! yes our children must be of similar ages

i definitely think they must have been drugging them. who puts children to bed all in the same room and they go to sleep at 7ish on holiday. Holidays are normally a time when routines go out the window. the fact the twins never woke up when there must have been people in and out of that room after it was discovered Madeleine had gone talking turning lights on, opening doors etc.

i never understood why they even took the kids on holiday with them in the first place. they we put in creche most of the day so mum and Dad could do sports then put to bed and left so they could have child free meals of an evening. Hardly a family holiday!
and that all of those adults left their children unattended in unlocked rooms while they wined and dined..no way did they check on them every 20 mins. they have been up and down like yoyos.

there are so many things about them that are odd. the lack of emotion, they never joined the searches, playing tennis whilst police and public searched for your child, leaving your other children in an unlocked room when raising alarm your daughter had been taken. swaning of to see the Pope leaving twins behind. saying that they did nothing wrong in leaving 3 young children alone in an unlocked apartment!

i wonder if the truth will ever come out.

For what it’s worth, here’s my thoughts:

The parents were neglectful. However, I see similar behaviour on holiday every summer.

The crime has been treated differently to others as her parents were middle class and she is white and pretty

The crime scene was very poorly managed from the start with valuable time lost

I think the parents behaviour in press conferences isn’t odd - it’s easy to fake tears. I think a GP is trained to hold in emotion and she’s just a cold person

I think Kate and Gerry were somehow complicit in paedophile behaviour and realised that she had been abducted to order. They couldn’t tell all as this would implicate them but they know much more.

However, I think if she had been killed by them or if they had covered up and accidental death then I don’t think they would keep themselves in the limelight as they have done. It’s just too much pressure. People say they enjoy it but they are generally vilified – how would anyone enjoy that?

I know everyone is different but I just cannot get my head around the idea that they thought she would be safe in an unlocked room by herself while they were sitting in a bar, no matter how close the bar was. 3 year old girls are so inquisitive, there was always a chance she could have walked out the door without them knowing a thing. When I’m on holiday my kids are never out of my sight, they even sleep in the same room as me neurotic I know but it keeps me at ease.

I don’t know what happened but I don’t believe their version of events at all. The most likely I think is that she died in the apartment and they got rid of her body.

Yes, this bugs me, that she ran back to where Gerry and the group were sat. If they were that close then wouldn't you just scream across from the sliding doors of the apartment? It was only 50 metres. At the very least I think it proves that you couldn't see the sliding doors from the table at the tapas restaurant and vice versa. At that point surely Kate would have been searching the immediate vicinity? I don't know what I believe, but it just seems odd that she instantly thought Madelaine had been taken having seen an open window, and yet she left the twins there. Surely you'd be on high alert of possible threat at that point, and would instinctively want to keep your other children safe?

Okay so this is my rabbit hole of the day... I'm not sure if its been on this thread already or I saw it on another forum, but Jane Tanner suddenly mentions during a reconstruction that Kate had moaned how long Gerry had been watching the football, something that had never been said before in any of the police interviews, and Gerry quickly interrupts to contradict her on where he was standing when she'd seen him. Now I thought it would be interesting to see if there was any big football matches on that night and it turns out that the UEFA Cup Semi-Finals were on, both with 20:45 kick offs, with mainly Spanish teams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006–07_UEFA_Cup_knockout_stage) so would no doubt have been on Portugese television. In addition, the final was due to take place a couple of weeks later in Glasgow, Gerry's home city where he grew up, studied medicine, worked for many years and met Kate, so it seems very likely that he would be interested and following them - perhaps he even intended going to the final. In addition, and this is where the rabbit hole comes in, it turns out that Gerry worked at Celtic Football Club, possibly on a voluntary or consultative basis rather than employed, during the 1990s as a physio or in some other medical capacity (seems he gave medical checks to new players).

So why is that relevant...? Well Celtic was at the centre of child sexual abuse scandel, with Celtic Boys Club founder Jim Torbett jailed in 1998 for abuse that took place between 1967-74, but abuse allegations were first made back in 1974 and he was allowed to return to the club in 1980 and continue the abuse until 1996 for which he was found guilty in 2018 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-46098908). I'm not saying that Gerry was involved in any way with the abuse that took place (although I know there's lots of talk about his possible involvement with paedophile rings), but he would have been very aware of all of this and would not have wanted any risk of being associated with it in some way. I just think this is another example of how calculated and planned the stories of the Tapas lot were, and that Gerry clearly wasn't leaving anything to chance. He said that he spent a long time in the toilet when he went back to the apartment, but why didn't he just admit that he switched the TV on and watched a bit of football?

The Madeline McCann documentary talks about so much irrelevant shit, I want to know where the cunt is not what the algarve looked like in 1920

If this was an abduction presumably they would have been watching the property? The abducters would have known which children were in the apartment. I think it's been mentioned before but the most likely child to abduct would have been one of the twins. I'm starting to think this wasn't an abduction. My gut instinct is she was accidentally overdosed on a sleeping drug. What happened after that I'm not too sure.

I agree with all you say apart from the Gerry is the dominating one, I believe Kate is ,she's so cold and unfeeling and he's her puppet ,who's podcasts have you listened to ?

I think they know exactly what happened to Madeline. I can’t get my head around how they would have moved her body and where they would have buried her that she’s never been found. Think if that’s what they did then it would have been done and dusted before they went for that last meal.
I really can’t think that the other people at the table actually know what’s happened otherwise surely one of them would have cracked? I agree with whoever said they are covering their own guilt and maybe at the time believed the addiction story.
all the children on that holiday will be old e To have been googling all this now, I wonder what they think of their parents, or if they are still young enough to blindly believe what they have been told. But when they grow old and jaded and cynical what will they think then?
Are they all still in touch?
Gerry’s career has thrived and he seems to have led a charmed life since. Kate must be living a hideous half life having to live with whatever it is that she knows.
No part of my believes she was abducted. I just can’t see how her body hasn’t been discovered though, what did they do with her??

Sorry about all the typos I wrote it so fast

I actually think the theory of cremation by putting her body in with another body is possible. I also wonder about the fridge that Gerry 'replaced' - where did that go?

working from home today so listening and watching this...
Jane Tanner is no better parent than Kate and Gerry in my eyes..who leaves an unwell child alone in a room whilst you eat out? what a selfish uncaring shit mother she is !
I still think the irish family who saw the man carrying the child did see Gerry with Madeleine. they said the way he held the child was unusual which is why they noticed it and then when they saw the news when back in Ireland they saw GM getting off a plane - he was carrying one of the twins the same way.

She didn't, her and her partner were taking it in turns to look after the unwell child, so she was on her way back to relieve him, he got back to the table at 9.30 or 9.45.

I suppose the quickest way to do that in a holiday location is dispose of a body in the water (weighted down). Has its risks of being discovered but probably less so than being spotted digging a grave.
 
Did anyone ever watch the bbc drama the cry? It really reminded me of Madeline! I hope one day they admit to what happened but I won’t hold my breath

Yes the fridge if memory serves me correct I remember posters on a forum discussing that Gerry seemingly mentioned the fridge and taking it to the dump in his blog then subsequently deleting it! ... I can believe the deleting of posts as I read one where he was thanking the British ambassador of the algarve and that part of the post was deleted the next time I read it ... in my opinion his blog was away of getting codes out.

Amaral said that hair found in the hire car proved the body had been either frozen or refrigerated

IMO this is where Maddie body was disposed off, Huelva has natural acid baths ............. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1564401/Madeleine-McCann-Parents-suspicious-trip.html

I have walked down the street that Tanner claimed she saw someone carrying a child ( later debunked by Scotland Yard ) it is 100% impossible to pass someone without them seeing each other as Gerry claimed had happened ...My theory on Tanner has always been ,she was Gerrys lookout when he was moving Maddies body, she didn't see Watkins walking his baby ,Gerry nearly got caught, so he placed Maddies body in the flower bed ( cadaver scent found here ) and he casually walked over to chat to Watkins to stop himself looking suspicious, for letting Mcs down she offers to lie about seeing the "abductor"
