Kate's initial reaction to Madeleine's disappearance.

According to kate's book the idea for the Fund came over the weekend of may 11,12,13 when two lawyers from the IFLG flew out to portugal to see how they could help. The Fund was the idea of the (unnamed) paralegal) and the company was set up a couple of days later (may 15th)

Now how could John Mccann be discussing setting up a Fund on May 7th when Kate and Gerry were not persuaded that this would be a good idea until the following weekend?

Can someone post a link to that May 7th interview?

I am a catholic and yes, a priest is called for when someone is on their way out (close to death) :-(

If my child had gone missing, i wouldnt be thinking about talking to a priest or anyone else, i would be out looking for said child. The last thing on my mind would be to ask for people to say prayers for the safe return of the child.

My mum would be saying prayers once she found out (which wouldnt have been until all searches produced no sign of said child. My mum would also then ask the priest to ask the congregation at mass to prayer for the child.....ME, though, i would be too distraught :-( I wouldnt be able to function. I wouldnt be able to talk to a priest or anyone else, i would be screaming "Wheres my baby?" I would have to be sedated, which i would probably refuse because i would want to stay sharp to find my child.

Kate could have asked for the priest to say a confession. Another reason to call a priest, to unburden herself of guilt...IMHO say confession, get forgiveness, carry on......... :-(

In my opinion, the fact she asked for a priest right away was either to give a confession or she knew her daughter was no longer alive.

Later on the 4th May... her mother, father and Auntie Norah arrived.

On the 5th May... Gerry's mum, brother John, sister Trisha and husband Sandy, and Michael, (the husband of Kate's cousin Ann-Marie)
also arrived in PdL.

Is your report as true as the report I read, which said Mrs Healy and the Merseyside Priest, was given a police escort to the airport, where they would be boarding the plane to Portugal? The report also said that Mr Healy was too sick to travel. According to another report Mrs Healy, her husband and Michael Wright went to Portugal, the day after Madeleine disappeared. According to another report, Mrs Healy and Norah went to Portugal. So many reports, but how do we know which one is true.

Regarding Gerry's siblings, on Monday the 7th of May, John, and two sisters Pat and Philomena, were sitting on the GMTV couch, discussing the fighting fund they were helping to set up. They were also discussed the meeting they were due to have later that day, with an MP.

The trio gave me the impression they had not yet been to Portugal, but if they had, they only had a few hours with Kate and Gerry.

It came from the horse's mouth... ie: Kate's book.

Haven't got time now... but if I find a reference to Paul Seddon arriving in Pdl, I will post it.

I feel much better now you've told me that you got your information from Kate's book of sex and lies. I can't prove that the media reports I have read are true, but I have followed the case from day one and I do know that from the passages I have read from Kate's book she has told many lies. No change there, because Kate and Gerry McCann lied from the minute the police arrived at their apartment, to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine.

Very quickly... found this for you:

Father Paul Seddon makes a statement on Friday 18th May 2007 where he states ""I came to Portugal this week..."

James wrote:Mumbles, i just listened to that may 9th interview with John Mccann.The interview is sick bucket stuff - 'such loving parents' - 'inspirational' - 'have a to do list and working through a raft of ideas.'

The interview starts by referring to an initiative but neither JMcann nor the interviewer clarify what that initiative is in the subsequent conversation. it would well have been the Fund and if it was it is more evidence that Kate lied in the book about the Fund.

I tried to listen again to the clip to see if i had missed something in the opening seconds but for some reason my sound won't work now. Can someone listen and check this. it seems to me that a few sentences of the interview at the start have been edited out probably accidentally.

Not Born Yesterday wrote:Uncle John certainly doesn't seem too upset over his lost niece and what terrible things might have befallen her. It seems to me more about the excitement and hope involved in launching a new business.

Well yes I think that's exactly what this was from Day One.

Using Kate's book for reference, (I know, I know)... John McCann, together with Kate's parents left PdL on Tuesday 8th May.

Here is a Sky interview he did on May 9th.

I'm not being funny, but why do you keep posting quotes from Kate McCann's book of sex and lies? If you had followed this case from day one, it would have been as plainly obvious to you, as it has been to the ones who have followed this case, that she has tried to change the course of events. She and her husband, began to tell lies as soon as the Portuguese police arrived at their apartment to investigate Madeleine's disappearance and they've never stopped lying for the past 5yrs.

Kathybelle, like yourself, I have followed the case from Day 1 and I don't recall stating anywhere that I believe the McCanns words but
since when did posting a quote from her book become a crime?

The McCanns must be laughing their socks off at people like yourself, especially if you have donated money to the fund. Don't you know that and their family are able to use this money to assist their finances and don't you know that only 13% of this money has been used to cough cough "search" for Madeleine?

Why would the McCanns be laughing their socks off at people like me?
I haven't believed a word of the McCanns fairytale since Day 1.

By the way, have you read page 129 in Kate's book of sex and lies? If you haven't you should. Kate and Gerry McCann have both said that they believe a paedophile has taken Madeleine and they have both said they believe she is still alive. In fact Kate said that she believed Madeleine was giving, whoever had taken her, her tuppence worth. If Madeleine's genitals, have been violated in the way her mother imagines they have been violated, she wouldn't have been able to give anyone her tuppence worth, because she wouldn't have survived such an attack. It makes me wonder what kind of a doctor Kate McCann is, if she thinks Madeleine could survive such an attack. She and her husband are still making the assumption that Madeleine is alive, even after she wrote that disgusting article in her book.

I have read it!!

Anyway for what it's worth I don't believe Madeleine was abducted, the McCanns behaviour since Madeleine disappeared, suggests they know exactly what has happened to Madeleine and if she is dead or alive. If the S.Y.detectives conducting the review, haven't reached this conclusion by now, they should stop wasting anymore taxpayers money and resign.

I agree.

To get back to John McCann's interviews, the interview I was writing about was the interview John McCann gave with his two sisters to GMTV on the first Monday after Madeleine disappeared, which would have been the 7th of May 2007. They did speak about setting up a fund and they did speak about a potential meeting with an MP in London later that day, to discuss Madeleine's disappearance.

I haven't been able to locate the video you mention, so far.

I also read that Philomena McCann lobbied the MP's a couple of weeks later.

Yes, she did lobby MP's.

I'm still of the opinion that Gerry's siblings could not have given an interview on the 7th of May if they were in Portugal on the 5th of May. If Kate McCann does say that her family and Gerry's family arrived on the 5th of May and left on the 8th, she is painting them in a very bad light. She is saying her family could only bear to spend 3 days with them, after they had suffered such a tragic event.

By the way in the interview Gerry's siblings gave to GMTV, the only person who looked as if she cared was Philomena McCann. John McCann had a silly grin on his face and Patricia was expressionless.

This is an interesting theory and one I had thought of too initally. Maybe she did fall and was making a fuss and then they sedated her to calm her down and put her back in bed.

For that to work Madeleine would have to have got back out of bed.................... that's if you believe in the Dogs (which I do).........................
