Indeed and the ‘she’s been abducted’ story would still hold.
Indeed and the ‘she’s been abducted’ story would still hold.
I thought the documentary said there had been 3 checks done, the 3rd being the one where she was discovered missing, and the only one not done by a McCann the bloke confirmed he just listened at the door rather than going in to check.

There had. So whether he’d found her missing or they did it doesn’t change that the only realistic time they had to dispose of the body was before they went out to dinner.
Could they have had the tyke for dinner?
I just finish off the series last night and my opinion hasn't been changed: I don't believe they are being honest, but to what extent they are being dishonest I have absolutely no clue. Something just does not sit right with them, Gerry in particular for me. He looks like a cunt actually.
My guess is she was nabbed by a paedo ring who chucked her into the Mediterranean when the case got way more press coverage than anyone could have predicted.
Damn it, lads. I saw this making a comeback and thought something new went down.
I read Amaral’s book years ago and came away convinced they were involved in some way. I don’t think the documentary will convince me otherwise if I’m able to get through it but I’m 1.5 episodes in and pretty bored by it.
I’ve never really looked that deeply into this so may give the Netflix show a go. Not sure I’ll be able to make my mind up and not sure we’ll ever actually know definitively what happened.
Once their marriage fails, we'll get books from them explaining how they did it.
Or in the style of OJ's "If I Did It."

Why are they still pumping money into this?
This story is a pressure piece by a journo friendly to the cause. Whether they get the money is decided in October so they're probably worried they won't get it.
Also I had no idea that Police Forces are given grants to investigate certain cases. Can you petition for any case? Can you simply give the Police Force in question 'a grant' to do what you want?
It really bugs me that they are still looking for her whilst some missing children don't even get an inch in a local newspaper.
The only explanation is that nobody wants to be the one to pull the plug on it, even though I suspect most people would actually agree with it if it became a news whinge.
The plug should have been pulled a long time ago and I stand by my train of thought that if she's alive then a) she doesn't know she's Madeleine McCann and b) your parents drugged you, left you alone in a foreign country then profited from their neglect for years to come. If she is alive, she had a lucky escape.
Or she's living a horrible existence in a porn dungeon.
Don't get too excited.
BBC News - Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52914016
Just got a fucking notification about this on my phone. Hardly important enough for that.
Parents did it. If they weren’t well off they’d be locked up by now.
You know yourself how the British authorities operate.
The information they apparently have seems a bit suspicious, to be fair. How’s it taken 13 years to work out?
The way this year is going, they'll probably find her alive and well.
They either did it and should be in prison, or they didn't but should have lost their other kids and gone to prison for neglect. Instead, they've been living off donations to their 'charity' for more than a decade.
They're a couple of doctors from Liverpool, not part of the fucking deep state you spastics.
Now, I'm not saying they are completely innocent, but if they have managed to get away with something here, it'll be down to them having outwitted the local filth, and not some over-arching MI6 conspiracy.
2020 shaping up to be the Year of the Bratwurst the way things are going. Donning coronavirus, winning the Premier League, and now they've only gone and solved the Madeleine McCann case. Shame for them there's no Euros.
13 years and £12m and they've only just clocked a convicted paedo from the same country. Top work.
Indeed. Something about this makes no sense whatsoever.
I imagine this new information has popped up as the funding is about to dry up. God forbid they don't profit off of her disappearance/death.
As I said, based on actual experience working with actual cases of actual child abuse, I don't think it's true they'd have been treated differently by the authorities. Whether or not they'd be able to profit off it is a different matter and has nothing to do with the police etc. as far as I can see.
So why do you get people (rightly) prosecuted for leaving their kids in the car and popping into Tesco but they’re allowed to fuck off out for dinner for hours on end? They were definitely treated differently.
There are thousands of missing Children that have not had the time, resources and money spent on them that Madeleine McCann has.
The police dedicate resources based on 'public interest' and I'm not having anyone say that money and class hasn't helped bring that to the table here.

Either you're a cause celebre or you're not, scousers are generally happiest when they are and so it was with the McCanns.
The money spent on it must have been private money.
As for them not facing prosecution, that has to be a class* thing as well. It's inexplicable otherwise. Even by their own version of events they left their children alone, at risk and one one of them disappeared off the back of it. If I did that, I'd face charges and rightly so.
*Or Jimmy is right and being Scouse got them off the hook as the Police didn't want a Jutice for the McCann's movement kicking off.
They had enough money to ge a decent lawyer (presumably, I don't care enough to find out) which makes all the difference you need.
Yeah, they were quite well off well before they started dining out on the charidee money.
And losing your kids abroad ensures you've got foreign coppers buggering it up. Or British coppers disputing the foreign copper evidence.
I'd imagine the fact it was in another country has an impact although I'm not going to claim to be up on how exactly the law works in that regard. I also strongly suspect that in those cases where people are prosecuted for popping into Tesco, there will have already been prior concerns or incidents.
The class issue makes a difference in the press coverage rather than however the authorities approached it, although that could also have influenced that.
Notwithstanding the potential issues about shit going down outside the UK's jurisdiction, is this an apposite example of said class bias?
Someone is claiming to be Maddie McCann.
I'm a twit
She seems as mad as a bag of cats.
Looks nothing like her
Time to visit a padded room with no sharp objects
Impressive that they managed to give a scouser a more annoying accent.
