Guest Captain Saintsible Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 One thing I hope for though is that whatever the outcome is that parents everywhere realise that they have to keep an eye on their kids and that they shouldn't let their guard down. The McCanns IMO are guilty of gross negligence at the very least. If they were sedating their kids so that they could go out for dinner then that goes far beyond negligence I'd say.............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why the parents weren't immediately made formal suspects I don't know. The moniker "Law Stud" becomes more and more ironic with every passing day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 That'd be an awesome movie. Although it'd be better if they turned Kate and Gerry into stone dead killers who just flat out murdered Madeline. That'd make up the first half hour. The next hour could be the McCann's doing their best to cover their tracks. Under the suspicious eyes of the twins. They could also have that suspect who was a family friend as someone who you aren't sure about untill the final twist. Box office. SMELL THE BUCKS !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 That'd be an awesome movie. On the plus side as well, potential jail term allowing, Kate is foxy enough to play her own character. If she is otherwise engaged, Jenny Agutter can step in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broccoli Dog Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Robert Murat would be the suspect, with Gerry being the big twist in the final act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Saintsible Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why on earth did they have this high profile campaign to find her if they did it? Surely they would have been better keeping a low profile and getting out of the country as soon as possible. The Portugese Police obviously bungled the initial investigation and contaminated everything and would probably have just left it at that had they gone home. But the subsequent campaign and media interest meant that they have had to put huge resources into it and then brought in the British forensic team - which could be well what uncovers what happened. Now I wonder............. whatever happened to Ben Needham?................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Robin Williams or Billy Crystal could do the voice-over of Gerry's blog in a Walt Disney style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why on earth did they have this high profile campaign to find her if they did it? The double bluff - a classic crime novel tactic!

Whistle Blower Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why on earth did they have this high profile campaign to find her if they did it? I always thought it was a slow news week, and they got taken along on the crest of media interest, and all of a sudden they are in too deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Why on earth did they have this high profile campaign to find her if they did it? Was it Goebbels(sp?) who said, "If you're going to tell a lie, make it a big lie"? It will be interesting to see what happens next, theres been a whole lot of vitriol on this forum aimed at those who suspected parental involvement... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Taggart would have had this wrapped up already I disagree. For family related killings, Jessica Fletcher is the one you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 To make it seem less likely it was them Yip, and all the coverage made it almost unacceptable to suggest it was the parents (as shown by some comments on this board). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Saintsible Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 To make it seem less likely it was them I know, I know. But I would have thought they would have been better keeping a low profile and getting out the country. The Police were obviously getting nowhere until they brought in the forensic teams and sniffer dogs and would probably have done no more in the investigation. It seems to have backfired on them IMO. I still don't like the look of Robert Murat by the way. Surely they could plant some evidence on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial prime suspect is alway the guy with the physical deformity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
