Quote of the Day - Looking back on the Madeleine case

“The disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the English three-year-old child that was on holidays in Lagos, “is a very badly told story”, a source at the Polícia Judiciária in Portimão told DN. The statement reflects the authorities’ doubts concerning the “confusing” depositions that were made by witnesses throughout the day, yesterday.”

Quote of the Day - Looking back on the Madeleine case


"Gerry told me when they went back the shutters to the room were broken, they were jemmied up and she was gone," said Mr Healy. "She'd been taken from the chalet. The door was open."

"If that situation had been of an abduction, it would have been terrible for the child. Because if that child were to be sold, or something else... She was as good as... it was her death sentence. That situation, that day, advertising that photo, was simply the death sentence of that child."

That statement has got to be one of the most heart breaking I have read in relation to this case.
So even if Madeleine had been abducted, she was dead as a result of those actions.
Poor wee thing never had a chance did she?

That is so sad, but did they ever care about her..There is no where i find, that they ever loved, or cared for her at all.
God Bless that poor Baby........ She was doomed from the day she was born......

Although initially reluctant, the McCanns finally informed the media of Madeleine’s unique right eye—a risky revelation. Whoever had taken the child now held a universally recognizable little girl.

Gerry understood that. But, he says, the iris “is Madeleine’s only true distinctive feature. Certainly we thought it was possible that this could potentially hurt her or”—he grimaces—“her abductor might do something to her eye.… But in terms of marketing, it was a good ploy.”

glad to be here wrote:so sad, why they wanted a child makes me so mad. may this little angel rest in peace and hopefully she is now in better place where she is loved and cared for

Personally she reminds me of a little puppy much wanted for Christmas then abandoned because they realised that puppy was harder work than they bargained for!

Quote of the Day - Looking back on the Madeleine case


“The local policeman was doing very little. The area was not cordoned off for hours and hours. Kate and Gerry [were] frustrated at the lack of activity. [The police] tried to downplay the enormity of it and said Madeleine had perhaps wandered off. That is the most ridiculous suggestion.”

Why was it a ridiculous suggestion?
I'm sure it would be the first thought in your head if your child was missing. That's she'd wandered away.
Why would you automatically think that she'd been snatched?
That's always puzzled me, I'm sure you would be in shock etc. but its a completely alien way of thinking, IMO, so assume the most unlikliest scenario first!!!!!!!

Quote of the Day - Looking back on the Madeleine case



“Jenni: And how will you deal with the guilt that will probably stay with you forever of having left Madeleine alone?

Kate: Well, I have actually come to terms a little bit with... with that, Jenni, I mean, you know... I know the, errm, I know the situation that we were in that night and uh, I've said all along, I didn't feel I was taking a risk. Errm, yeah, I... I do feel desperately sorry I wasn't with Madeleine at that minute when she was taken.”

That always makes me laugh....why couldnt she just answer the bloody question!!!


"I do feel desperately sorry I wasn't with Madeleine at that minute when she was taken.”

And what does that mean exactly???

If she had been there then an abductor wouldnt have gone in and had he found Kate in the room he would have run off without a child!

Or,

i am feeling very guilty for letting my kids alone, was very irresponsible of us, was a very bad idea and the only thing i want now is to find my lovely daugther Maddie!

because, another thing that was always strange for me, was the dificult to say that they love Maddie!
