It's an incredibly incriminating response. They were supposed to have been enjoying a fun-filled holiday up to the alleged 'abduction'. <br /><br />I agree that the Jez Wilkins encounter is astonishing. Gerry allegedly bumped into him at a vital time earlier that evening - after his 9pm check when all was okay - so why Jez wasn't immediately asked if he had seen anything suspicious is mighty peculiar and can only mean, imo, that the 9.15pm encounter was - whether it took place or not - was slotted in retrospectively. I think Jez is genuinely shocked when told that Gerry had seen him earlier. It is unwelcome news to him. His role is most curious and Detective Amaral was very interested in his testimony and faxed him urgently, via Leics police. His partner Bridget would surely have known of this but lies in an article written months later stating that the Portuguese police 'didn't bother' to contact them. On the contrary, Detective Amaral had exceedinly probing questions for him. Worth looking at. Also of note is how Jez Wilkins changes his account of what he was doing that night. This is just so suspicious and must mean, imo, that he is not a completely unbiased eye-witness. Why give such dramatically different accounts of what he was doing that evening?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-6716887411670588862016-03-17T20:27:15.591+00:002016-03-17T20:27:15.591+00:00Interesting to hear, thank you for replying and be...Interesting to hear, thank you for replying and best wishes to you, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-8425884569665405772016-03-17T09:14:25.547+00:002016-03-17T09:14:25.547+00:00Hello.

So did the launch of their online shop, their fundraising spree and their European tour. And what did they did the money for? There was already an official police investigation and world wide search.<br /><br />The financial reports filed by the Fund reveal nothing, therefore the amount received by the McCanns is quite literally, anybody's guess - and the guessing will probably start at £5m upwards. The lack of transparency is a double edged sword, people can only speculate.<br /><br />And stating the Fund was low and Kate needed to write a book doesn't do them any favours either. WTF did they spend ALL those millions on? The spending of lottery winner Lee Ryan was modest by comparison, and I think he had a couple of helicopters. <br /><br />As for other children being set aside, the charity is MISSING people, not abducted children. It claims thousands of kids go missing every year, so where is the publicity for these thousands of kids. <br /><br />As for my being nasty?

If the fund had the millions you suggest Kate wouldn't have had to writer her book would she? Then she wrote a second book.<br /><br />How have Missing People insulted the Portuguese Police? The Portuguese police are working along side SY and have said the McCann's are not suspects.<br /><br />Kate McCann had first hand experience, her child went missing. Kate McCann can give advise to other parents of Missing Children, advice on how to deal with the abuse from others in particular those who choose to accuse the parents of somehow being responsible for their child going missing. Kate McCann can help them with the devastating loss of a child.<br /><br />No child has been set aside to give priority to Madeleine, name one other abduction in the UK that is not or has not in the past been investigated.<br /><br />You just like to speak spite and stir spite, you say REAL KIDS WITH GENUINELY DISTRAUGHT FAMILIES, what do you mean by that? That Madeleine is not a real kid, that the McCann's and their family are not genuinely distraught at her disappearance? You really are one nasty piece of work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-75687592634568728992016-03-12T23:47:05.524+00:002016-03-12T23:47:05.524+00:00It is incredible that after 9 years this case is s...It is incredible that after 9 years this case is still dragging on Fran. However, it has undoubtedly lost its' lustre, very few people are interested these days. Perhaps Scotland Yard are waiting for the day when they can bury the result in a local rag on the Outer Hebrides, long after we are all dead and gone. <br /><br />I jest of course, I don't believe that will happen. Kate and Gerry are not the most likeable of people, and I doubt many would still fight to protect them. I don't see their love/hate relationship with the media going well - they have stung people who hold grudges. <br /><br />I suspect the 'end' is near, didn't they say something about the Spring when OG was scaled down? <br /><br />Though I have been watching this case closely for so many years, even I wouldn't take a guess at what is going to happen. Kudos to SY, they have played well. <br /><br />Logically it is now in the hands of the Portuguese Police, Madeleine disappeared in Portugal, and that is where it must be tried. It looks as though SY have done all that they can do, and it is now up to the PJ.<br /><br />The PJ have already shelved the case once through lack of evidence and they were quite insistent that it would not be re-opened without new evidence. I assume there must have been 'new evidence' because the PJ did re-open their file, and as far as we know, it is open still. <br /><br />As we know, the last time the PJ files were shelved, they became open to the public. Presumably that same law will apply when this investigation ends or is shelved. The Portuguese have a 'transparency' that seems to be lacking in the UK, so even if the UK give no report whatsoever, Portugal will. This is something that those who scream 'whitewash' don't seem to take into consideration. <br /><br />At the moment we don't even know how many suspects there are, and how many are going to be charged. And each will have to be charged and prosecuted individually. If there are a lot of defendants, then there will be a lot of lengthy trials, especially if each defendant contests their case. And that looks as though that is the way this is going, because if there had been confessions, this would have ended a long time ago. <br /><br />Given the time and money that has been spent on this case, I would imagine it is extremely complex - Murder squads don't usually take 4+ years to get their suspects. <br /><br />I think the scaling back of OG is a good sign. They have done the bulk of their work and an end appears to be in sight. But I think whatever happens, those involved will have to live with what they have done, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

...Powerful response 14:16, and who could disagree?<br /><br />The Fund is probably one of the most evil aspects of this case. Kate and Gerry received more cash than any other parent of a missing could only dream of. I gave a rough estimate of £4m to £5m, but today I read £12m. Who knows, the accounts filed with Companies House tell us very little - so much for the transparency. The trolls on twitter say it's nobody's business how the Fund is spent, but as they are asking the public for donations, I disagree.<br /><br />The Fund is for one child, that is why it cannot get charity status. However, as nothing has been produced by the Fund to show how they have been spending the money, we can only assume it has gone onto the second objective - supporting Madeleine's family. And before the pro's pounce on me, what has the Fund achieved with regard to finding Madeleine? Where are the metrics and deliverables Gerry? The Fund has got through between £4m and £12m over the last 9 years, there must be something to show for it? Even a nice bench with Maddie's name on it where people can sit and reflect? A regular mass in her name? Goncalo Amaral pays for a mass to be said for Joana Cipriano, it would be sad if Maddie had nothing similar. <br /><br />As for Missing People, I wish the celebrities and ambassadors who assist them would see past all the hype and take a closer look at how it is run and how many people it is actually helping. <br /><br />Unfortunately, criticising an established Charity is seen like kicking puppies. We are all programmed to respond with shock, horror and outrage. Even iconoclasts give it a miss (not this one, lol)because it is the way in which the rich and successful show us how benevolent they are. Look at me, I support all these charities, aren't I a Saint, that they know nothing about the charities they support (ie. how the money is actually spent) demonstrates how shallow they are. The McCanns are a prime example. In the summer of 2007, everyone was jumping on the bandwagon, including the UK government and several of their police agencies. <br /><br />In trying to think of excuses for Missing People, they could say it is not their role to judge the families. And that is fair enough. However, they are not deaf, dumb and blind and is it morally right to promote a child who is highly unlikely to be missing? How many other families have been set aside to give priority to Madeleine's family? <br /><br />If they have any conscious, how many kids' lives could have been saved if their pictures, rather than Maddie's had been publicised and they had been found? Real kids with genuinely distraught families. <br /><br />Unfortunately, such is life, that when you chose to do what is morally wrong, someone innocent will be hurt. That is why most of us choose to do the right thing, hurting others is not an option. <br /><br />Missing People will probably claim to be neutral, but in appointing Kate McCann Ambassador, they have insulted the Portuguese police and added to the persecution of one of their former detectives. Is that really the role of a Charity?<br /> Rosalinda Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497239700092619580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-76186365185322842582016-03-12T14:16:58.188+00:002016-03-12T14:16:58.188+00:00Cristobell, great post.

Maddie was used as a cash cow and still is. The public were duped for the most part. Of interest to me is that Gerry has chosen to take a very low profile indeed. Kate remains in the ostrich position as she always has been. <br /><br />Totally agree that, so far, poor little Madeleine McCann's fate has brought nothing but vultures to the trough and that includes her parents. <br /><br />The Missing People organization should be scrutinized. That it allowed Kate to act as Ambassador is nothing short of a disgrace and must mean that it is as bogus as this case in my opinion.

I very much appreciate my 'foreign' readers, that you take the time and trouble to read 'me' in another language is humbling. I am in awe of those who have not been restricted by their mother tongue, learning another language is an achievement I admire above most others. <br /><br />Yes indeed, the Charities that have aligned themselves to the bogus abduction story might well find they too have a lot of questions to answer. The branches of this fairy tale have spread far and wide - at some point, the crowd and all the fawning courtiers are going to have to admit that the Emperor is indeed stark naked. <br /><br />It's going to be a bit like the Jimmy Saville affair but much, much worse. All those people who claimed not have known what was going on with Saville, at least had the reply 'HOW would I know?' They were just work colleagues, it wasn't their job to look for abuse, unlike the 'specialists' attached to this case. <br /><br />This particular house of cards, has a lot of very high layers, layers that cross over into the heart of the establishment. If, for example, one major charity came under investigation, it could have a domino effect on all the others and not just in the UK. The million pound baby becomes the billion pound baby. 'Charity' is very lucrative - it's the only industry that doesn't have to supply a tangible product. People just give them money and it is accepted that they will do 'good' with it.<br /><br />Your final paragraph intrigues me. What can I say, except a huge thank you! These creeps fear taking responsibility for their words more than anything else, they clearly have much to hide! Gudden Dag!

Come on, if that were the case im sure there would be no-one left in africa as they`d all be dead, and lets be honest, if the other Ads are true then the girls at least would probably be better of rather than being married at 8 years of age and pregant soon as they reach puberty. But alas, according to these "charities" these problems will never be fixed without YOUR cash, which is why 30 years after Geldorf nothing much seems to have changed!! When I see a beggar on the street I dont put some money in his hand, I go and buy him a hot soup and a sandwich because I know that money will most likely just be spent on beer/fags.With regards to The Fund, who knows how much they got in cash in envelopes through the post, but I would bet my last pound that it wasnt all declared and that one day they will be of to live a nice retirement in the sun somewhere on the back of it.37K for a website paid to a kid working out of his garage..Really...come on, it cost a grand at most, the rest went in there own pockets!!The Mccanns have no conscience,they will take your money and then stick two fingers up at you, transparent accounts my arse, they have no shame. What a sad life that poor girl had with such despicable excuses for a mum and dad, but like those poor kids in Africa, maybe shes better of out of it !!<br />Ps. I doubt she will get any more justice than the African children either, though I appreciate you live in hope Ros.

As if the police force charge for their services. This is unbellevable. I can't believe the twins are collecting money at their school....is that really true? So many things about this case that makes me wonder if similar conditions even would be possible in other countries...<br />So they want more money?!? How about go back to work (Kate) and put an end to this game. Just live their life with the twins and become a normal family. This ongoing saga makes me think that maybe they have to pay their tapas friends some silence money on a regular basis. What a horrible life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-66265775393922356222016-03-10T11:18:03.772+00:002016-03-10T11:18:03.772+00:00Hi Ros.
Thank you for your wonderful blog.I came...Hi Ros.<br /> Thank you for your wonderful blog.I came across this blog some years ago when I was carrying out tests of various web addresses at random (work wise)and I have been avid reader ever since.I must say that I do not originate from UK but I will do my best with the English.I first came to the UK when I was 16 and spent 4 years training to become telecoms engineer.Some years later I returned for a further 7 years to study and train for my current occupation.<br /> Now with regard to the FMF.My sister who lives in the UK and who I am visiting at present has followed the Madeleine case from the early days,she has discussed it with me often.As a result of and when time would permit I have done research,I have studied FMF,Missing people and others.What I note about Missing people is that this is not just a charity but also a limited company.What I would say to your readers is take a look at Missing people funders and do the research,follow the money!<br /> If I may I would just like to mention something because I feel it is bothering some tweeters.At the back end of last year my sister told me that a very vocal tweeter had arrived on twitter and was tweeting all sorts and that I should take a look.I will not name this tweeter(SORRY ABOUT THAT)!Very recently I was informed that this tweeter had posted a libelous tweet regarding a ex PT police officer and that this person had been quick to delete said tweet.I would like to tell your readers that the electronic data of this tweet was recovered and was sent to a PT lawyer on 04/03/2016 at 09:09:03 along with tweeters ID.<br /> Just before I go and while on subject of twitter what am I to make of this wonderful tweeter who is offering to assess your mental health online and free of charge?By way of a thank you for offering this service I would like to offer this tweeter a remote diagnostic assessment of their computer H/D (free of charge of course),it would be rude not to.<br /><br />Gudden Dag Ros.<br />(S)<br />IT tech<br />Differdange.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
