1 min Video - Why Did McCanns Act Like Praying Arabs?

I think the McCanns did their praying arab act on that bed because there was something there that needed to be covered up. Just my opinion, of course, but I think that room, which was said to be Kate and Gerry's may have been the room the children slept in. I think the bedroom with the cots was the second red herring after the jemmied shutters. Show the police that room and distract attention from the other.

I agree. If you were handed the photos without any knowledge about this and asked to pick out the beds being used that night you would say (a) parents bed, (b) bed underneath the window in the other room. Madeleines bed and the cots do not look used at all.

The wailing episode is bizzare. Even one of them wailing on the bed in a crazy state could be considered someone manic with grief, but both together doing the same thing is more than odd.

Was the flower bed were the dogs alerted outside that bedroom ?

From my own experience my children would not sleep in those type of travel cots after 18 months. Holidays were a bit of a nightmare at that time. I used to push two single beds together and place the two small kids in the middle, surround by pillows and cushions on the floor. The single beds were always too high for them at that age and I worried they would roll out and fall on the tiles. But then again I brought a twin buggy and each of my children had a tooth brush with them, so what do i know !

How could we find out? Does the photo have a reference number or time stamp?
This act has meaning , I've always wondered what it meant.
Whether it was thought a repeat of the Freemason's 'distress' signal or not.
Kate used another glorious example in one photoshoot. I think Vanity Fair. The 'hand to the throat in a specific position.'
Quite a few of us disbelievers have relatives in the brotherhood.
But the trousers and camera combo has intrigued me fora long time.

Probably if things had gone according to plan. But I think the plan went wrong and things changed, perhaps without the group having time to discuss it properly. Was it the Smith sighting or bumping into Jez Wilkins that put things into disaray or something else we don't know about.

Sometimes I wonder if Kate was not expecting Madeleine to be gone when she went back at that time to check. Just something that niggles at me, that perhaps things happened too soon. The scene was not set properly before Kate raised the alarm but they went ahead with the original story of jemmied shutters etc. The "they have taken her" phrase is one of the things that niggles most, it is almost as if she was expecting somebody to take Madeleine but just not at that point in time. I have obviously no basis of fact for saying that, just my opinion.

I also think the final part of the plan went wrong Mossman! My money is on Jez Wilkins disturbing Gerry in moving a package out of the apartment and having to dump it in the garden area out of sight in a panic. It has made me wonder if any of the Tapas crew had access to a hire car to the days up to and including 3rd May. Was there not a change in cars parked along that road during the final 'checks'??

Kate would not know this and would have taken the delay in Gerry returning as him completing his part of the mission but he was actually stood talking with JW. So she went ahead with her planned performance unawares. The further panic would be that Kate raised the alarm before the package was safely tucked away making Gerry take a risky run down to the front past the Smiths. It also explains the delay in calling the police so long after Kate had raised the alarm IMO.
