Madeline Mccann?

Question

They said they found blood in the back of the car. Are they sure it is blood or general body fluid. What makes them so sure it is madeline's blood?. Fluid could have got on to the wheels of the pram and then entered into the back of the car from ages ago rubbing into the back of the car. Childrens urine, poo poo could easily spread around many household objects and then rub into the back of the car. Or the police officers could easily have made an error or have deliberately said they found blood in the car because they are fed up of searching.

Answer 1

I thought it was a hire car? It does sound like the police have been leading up to this 'suggestion' for some weeks now

Answer 2

1. Forensics indicate Madelines blood was found in a car hired by the mccanns some 21 days after madeline was reported missing.
2. Once made suspects - the McCanns leave Portugal.
3. No other perons or parties are currently suspects despite the intensive efforts of vitually all of Portugals police resources
4. Within days of Madelines disappearance the McCanns set up a ltd company and contact Max Clifford to act as publicist.
5 Gerry McCann is a cardiologist and Kate McCann is a general practitioner.
6. Police and hotel workers confirmed that the McCanns did not lock the patio doors to the room in which Madeline slept. Would you as a parent go out and leave a child in an unlocked hotel room?

Why is everyone obessed with attacking the Police when the known facts make this far from a clear case of abduction.

Answer 3

They also found alot of her hair in the car - they say its too much to have just rubbed off while she was travelling in the car and it was in the boot also. I just think it is so incredibley sad that anyone, parent or not, could do that to a child. Its not unheard of that parents do such things though, the media coverage could just be a kind of insurance in case the parents were implicated. Because of the amount of support the parents have instantly had through the media, people would stand up for them (look at the Suns coverage of Deirdre Barlow from Coronation Street all those years ago, the 'Free Deirdre' campaign etc, like it was real!). On the other hand, if they are innocent I couldn't imagine how they must be feeling. If it was my child and I had been implicated, I'm not sure I would be able to go for runs along the beach etc, I think I would be too frantic to do such normal things. Kate says she is being framed - even if she was guilty she would say she was being framed to get sympathy though. By our standards, they just don't act right considering, but who are we to judge? We thankfully have never been in that position.
The least that the parents are guilty of is neglect, by uk standards. If a normal parent, as in one with a bog standard job, had left children alone in such a place just to have dinner, the social services would've swooped down on them. I know someone who had a visit from the police as she had reported something (not something she had done either), when they arrived the children had been playing out in the mud and were covered in it. They reported her for neglect, but then again she is an unemployed single mother of 3, not someone who is married in a reputatable and respectable job.
As they say, 'the truth will out'. I think we should just hope that it happens sooner rather than later, not sit there throwing blame when we dont actually know the facts and weren't there.

Answer 4

There is a sense of frustration coming from this investigation. Have the Portugese police just got fed up with looking? It seems ludicrous to suggest that a car rented nearly a month after the child disappeared could hold any clues or meaningful DNA. These poor parents were in the public eye almost continually so the conspiracy theory of disposing of a body seems ludicrous. Every car will hold all kinds of DNA but it does not make us murderers! The police may have to accept that this case has gone cold for the time being.

Answer 5

I think that we are getting a bit paranoid that someone else other than the British police might know what they are doing.
They have rules that mean the Police side of events cannot be divulged. This will include any evidence found, witnesses spoken too etc.
The only information that we have been privilege to is that from Mr & Mrs McCann and their many friends etc.
I said some time ago that something just does not add up with the McCanns.
I still hope that I am wrong.

Answer 6

The police have clearly struggled with this case since day 1 and are under increasing pressure to raise their game.

I note that they have effectively accused (well, that's what they were doing when they asked for a confession in exchange for a lesser sentence) the parents but obviously cannot get the evidence to stick and yet they have released them on police bail. If they really thought the parents were killers, they'd lock them up!

The question I would like them to answer is what connection they think a stain that was found in a hire-car that wasn't rented until 3+ weeks after Madeline disappeared has to do with the investigation. Or do they think the parents managed to hide Madeline's body for all that time?

Answer 7

Keep a very open mind with this answer. Is it possible that Madeline McCann walked out of the hotel and got lost meandering around the streets and could not find her way back and tragically got killed while trying to perform a simple task of eating? The news stated a fact that the parents left the children in the room alone while they went to eat dinner. So this may seem logical to those who know how smart young children can be.

Answer 8

The police are sure it was blood, and it was tested at the best laboratory in Britain, so an error is unlikely. Why would the police lie about it, when so much is at stake? I don't want to believe it, but unfortunately, it looks like it's true.

Northern Lad: It was the British police, not the Portuguese, and there have been no complaints of Portuguese negligence before, so why should there be now? It's the family who are clutching at straws (I can't say I blame them, I would if it was my family.)

Answer 9

it has just been repoted today that it was 100% maddies DNA and they found her hair in the boot of the car...


oh and also kate mccann said as soon as she walked in the room she relised maddie had been "taken" straightway because the toy rabbit she always sleeps with had been put on a high shelf were no child could reach.
they got dogs to sniff the toy and apparently the dogs could smell death.
no work had been done on this toy such as DNA ect because obviously whoever took maddie had placed the toy on the shelf when taken maddie.
4 days later kate mcann washed the toy because it was "dirty"
why whould you do that if you knew it had evidence on it??
that was the only source of evidence and she destroyed it.
i cant beleive she washed it.
if that was a normal person they would of kept it because it had evidence on it and it was the last thing maddie touched so it would of been special.

my point is that i think she is trying to cover herself or someone up.
it all sounds too fishy to me.
there too much evidence against her.

Answer 10

It was supposedley 25 days after she went missing that they hired a car. Anyone knows, and they are both doctors, that in the heat of Portugal and with intense police and media interest, there is virtually no way it could have come from Madeline herself.
