This must be familiar territory for you. Being as poor a father as yours was to you is what I aspire to. Although hopefully they won't turn out to be as much of a let down as you proved to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance they were walking over there every 20 minutes when there was a meal and wine in full flow. I could perhaps have some sympathy for them if they'd left the kids locked up in the apartment and it was then broken into and the kid was taken, but they've effectively left 3 young kids unattended and easily accessible, that's unforgivable.

throbber Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 ThisGerry also said that leaving them in the apartment felt no different to having food and drinks out in the garden at home so I take it that inspections every 20 minutes are standard practice from most parents on a nightly basis at home as well as on holiday! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, his lie about being in sight of the apartment wasnt followed up on much, when that investigative journalist sat at the table they did on that night you could barely see their apartment if at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Watched up to end of episode 4 and it has thrown up a lot more questions than answers. I get that people think it’s very far fetched for people to think that the McCanns had involvement but a few things make me question them. Firstly I found it a bit strange that she immediately assumed she had been taken before running back to the restaurant leaving the twins asleep in the apartment. I also find it odd that the twins who were what 18 month old slept through all the commotion without making a peep. Also the fact that she apparently repeatedly checked they were breathing through the night is extremely odd unless they both had some sort of illness/virus etc which is unlikely given they were leaving them alone at nights. Doesn’t prove they were medicating the kids but certainly raises questions. The dog evidence also raises a few concerns. Why was Gerry so reluctant for the blood/ cadaver dogs to be used. Now I don’t dispute that the findings of the dog are inconclusive but it’s very coincidental that these dogs raised suspicion at the same parts of the apartment, also on the teddy, piece of clothing and also the hire car. What’s the chances of that? I do fail to understand how they would be able to dispose of the body some 3/4 weeks after the fact when the eyes of the world are on them. There is also little to know evidence of her being abducted as far as I’m aware apart from the unreliable statement from the friend which appears to have been bottomed out anyway. There are to many unanswered questions from their end for them to be completely discounted in my opinion and while it would be completely far fetched and fucked up if they had some killed her be it accidentally or not but part of me still thinks that they have done this and staged the abduction knowing full well that telling the truth would see them losing the other two children, both their careers and pretty much their whole lives. Far fetched I know but with some of the fucked up shit that we often hear about nothing would surprise me. And no I don’t believe the world is flat [emoji23]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Only way I see it was them was if it all happened earlier in the day. Can't remember if the series mentioned when she was last independently witnessed as being alive. The idea that Gerry's guilty because he didn't show emotion is bollocks, seemed to me just holding it together as best he could. The ones I don't trust are people who cry on cue at police press conferences. Edited March 23, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I don't trust are people who cry on cue at police press conferences.I'm a few episodes in but I believe Kate said she was at the kids club (coming home tired) and the anecdote from the other parents about Madeline's friendship was that same day? There couldn't have been a huge time window you'd think.What I didn't appreciate before the documentary was the road running to the side of the villa and just how accessible it was. If it was an abduction, it wouldn't be hard you'd think; I think it's probably very likely that the schedule was maybe double what the parents were suggesting - they all felt very comfortable about the arrangement and it didn't seem like they were strict about checking with a timer or that, I think they all would have felt guilty as shit so not wanted to say anything and maybe deluded themselves.Maybe I'm just gullible and I know there are thousands of sightings and eye witnesses testimony is usually pish but I found something really disturbing about the couple at the petrol station in Marrakech - the way they told it, the woman is genuinely haunted recalling the dialogue. You could easily see a way for someone to have taken her and gotten into Morroco before any real action was taken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’m off work so I’ve started watching the Netflix series. I’ve only watched the first two episodes. Impressions are that some of the stuff the journos come out with is laughable. There’s a missing kid but you shouldn’t rip the aprtment to bits looking for her? Aye, that’ll happen. Portuguese police are getting painted as lazy useless clowns. Interesting series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Watched 4 episodes of it so far. The Portuguese press and police are not interested in finding her, all they care about, to this day, is proving Gerry and Kate were involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
