The case of Madeleine McCann

[mike tesko]

Thanks for those links Mike.  Well, there's only one thing for it, isn't there!  Where's the harm in digging a little hole?

I agree...

I wonder who laid the driveway, and when?

I understand Stephen Birch is going back to Portugal to assist the Portuguese lolice who have provisionally re-opened the case...

Thanks for the update Mike, sounds very promising.

To be honest mike I think your emotions have overtaken the facts. Maddie does not know you from Adam. If she was crying from the grave then surely she would be crying for mummy, or daddy.
Sadly I believe that Maddie is dead, but do not think that her parents had any part in her death. I do think that it was stupidity to leave the childen alone, but they must have thought it was safe, as they were close at hand, and were making regular visits to the house.
You are not posessed with magical powers[ I think], so we can only have assumptions.
All this Mr Mike does nothing for me, though I would be happy to be proved wrong.
TBH I am more interested in springing Jeremy.

That's right nugnug. It seems almost certain now, that they were getting to the truth about the framing of Bamber, so they had to be framed

I think it was natural for the McCanns to fall under suspicion. People jsut do not understand how parents could leave their children in a hotel room - it doesn't add up logically.

Hi Mat I have always wondered why they left Maddie alone as it would appear the complex offered baby sitting service free of charge and for peace of mind they could have used the service.  They are certainly suffering now and will do till the end of their days I think.

Mat, lot's of people leave their sleeping children in hotel rooms, or did before this event. Rightly or wongly, I knew lots of people who did when my children where small.

I don't think it is the what the majority do though, which is why the McCanns came under fire, people were repulsed.

I can't imagine leaving my son in a hotel room whilst I went out to eat with friends, I just wouldn't do it.

Hi Mags  I could never have left my son on his own the only person I ever did leave him with was my own Mother because I knew if he woke up he would feel safe but we are all different

I agree with you when I was in a hotel when my children were small if I went out of the room I had a baby listening device even if I was using the hotel baby sitting service but many people would leave their children in a hotel bedroom while they ate etc.,, just checking on them every so often.  Times have changed since then and most people didn't see anything wrong with it.  I wa a fusspot with my kids compared to most.

I know susie, I always worried about them waking up with me not  there, but honestly I used to go on weekend breaks with loads of other people with babies etc., they used to leave them asleep in their rooms while they went and ate dinner, had drinks etc.  I think a lot of people pretended later after the McCann case that they didn't but loads of people did.

Hi Mags  I know what you mean I use to go on a "girls night out" and we would be in the pub till closing time one of the girls was a single Mother and she use to leave her small daughter home alone asleep I once asked her what would happen if the child woke up she said oh she wont do that.  Of course now you would be, quite rightly so, be prosecuted  for such a thing.  The thoughts of leaving my boy alone gives me goose bumps even now.
