VIDEO - Kate McCann - A Mother Grieving the Death of her Child?

Just completed a very short video..

After seeing the thumbnail for the video its not what you may think..It's not about the 'smiling'........

Kate McCann - A Mother Grieving the Death of her Child?

Thank you HiDeHo. For once, Kate McCann looks like she's showing real emotion.

A I was doing it I realised that they are probably so used to being ridiculed about their demeanor regarding the 'abduction' and the smiles etc.

This video almost highlights the compassion for a grieving mother....something FAR more scary for them than what they are used to dealing with...

The last thing they want is anyone feeling compassion for their grief of Madeleine's death...

It could clearly be a woman who is grieving over the loss of her child or the possible death of her child. As Mitchell has made very clear the parents are not unaware of the possibility that their daughter may be dead.

It certainly seems to me to be a woman who is not aware what has happened to her daughter and is wracked with pain over what might have happened.

'She WAS very happy..."

" Madeleine WAS very happy with her life..."

HiDeHo

YES you are right to highlight this obvious grief - she also refers to Madeleine in the past twice possibly three times. Twice with the word 'was' and 'and very loving' which came after the first inference.

But it is the depth of feeling that comes across which must be grief.

It would be near hysterical and anger if she really thought that Madeleine was being harmed.

Thank you for another "highlight video".

Actress.

I disagree Wintabells.

The rest of the original video is a sham...contrived and pretending to cry about her abduction, but Madeleine's death happened and that moment I highlighted is real grief imo.

I find it is important to remember that the 'truth' is what they are trying to hide....Madeleine's death...and to separate the fake emotion of the 'abduction' which is when they are acting.

Yes, I agree with you.

Awful music

It"s a strange remark to make "she was very happy with her life". Such a short life ended ,it is more and more likely regret in Kate"s voice that
she feels guilt about it.

I can't see any emotion at all in Kate McCann's face or her voice. The only emotion I have ever seen Kate McCann and her husband show, is anger, when various media presenters, have had the audacity to ask them why they left their children unsupervised, all but one night of that so called family holiday.

If Madeleine had been abducted, or simply walked out of the McCanns apartment to go to look for them, the McCanns would have physically looked for her and they wouldn't be spending the donations that should have been used to find Madeleine, on assisting the finances of themselves and their family.

The locals stayed off work for more than a week, and holidaymakers gave up their holidays, to join the police in the search for Madeleine. The McCanns and their tapas friends, could have put their remaining children, with the tapas children in one apartment, in the care of Mrs Webster and maybe one other person. Then the rest of them could have joined these good people in their search for Madeleine.

They didn't search, they began trashing the apartment and getting their stories straight, using the back of Madeleine's story book. This suggests to me that the McCanns and all of their tapas friends, know what happened to Madeleine and if she is dead or alive.

Some posters may think that most of my post has nothing to do with the video and they're probably right. It's just that I tend to go off on a tangent, when I see videos, like the one we are discussing at the moment.

Morning KathyBelle

I don"t think Kate is showing real grief either, a very flat appeal to the Abductor and the "enjoyed her life" a strange comment. The only time I saw real grief was when Kate and Gerry were walking along , Kate just behind Gerry, wearing grey, and she looks devastated.


Just thinking about that remark again, it reminds me of the kind of expression you would use speaking about an elderly person who had just died.

The intake of breath at 0.27 is where I believe Kate shows real grief for Madeleine's death.

One moment that, in my opinion, is 'evidence' of the 'Fund' being a fraud.

I agree, HideHo, that this clip demonstrates that the truth is being hidden, but I don't believe death is the truth that she's trying to hide (although I agree that death is partly the truth).

I see in this video a series of facial 'shrugs' which, from everything I've read and observed about dishonesty, indicate she's lying about something.... The most noticeable one is just before she says the word 'special'.

I don't doubt that she mourns/mourned her child, but I can't see evidence of this in this video. What I can see is profound nervousness and defensiveness - she's minimal, using the same facial expression throughout, the same verbal monotone, a slow and uncomfortable delivery, inappropriate detail (why does it matter whether she was 'special' or 'happy with her life') and these micro shrugs that she does with her mouth where the straight line of her mouth almost serves as a 'let's draw a line under this question', which, as she pointedly notes at the beginning of the clip, is a question she's already answered.

My guess is that this woman's guilt + survival instinct is more powerful than her 'grief', so her overriding drive is to avoid suspicion, accusation and ultminately the law and the truth is Madeleine is dead, not because she was abducted and killed but because something happened inside 5a which caused her to die.

Thanks for posting this clip - it's extremely interesting (though frustrating) to examine these moments over time and analyse and discuss them here.

That looks like real grief to me and lots of past tense references to Madeleine which to me are very telling.

Yes, there is no hope there. That is acceptance of death.

That must have been very early on... before she realised she had best keep up the facade.
