"The McCann’s may well have profited from their book or interviews but stealing directly from donations raised to find her surely would lead them to prison?" - Horatio

@Horatio ( I've just butchered this quote sorry)

I remember it being found out that the official fund was not registered as a charity but as a private company. This came as a shock to a lot of people. Which would suggest they were in full control of any money they recieved through well wishers thinking they were donating to a charity. Also there was talks of funds "going missing". They also use this fund to pay their spin doctor Clarence Mitchell. A lot of people at the time were under the guise that they were donating to charity directly and money has been used on other things allegedly like silencing aka suing anyone that raises any suspicions about them. So they can't go to prison for that as its a business and their money now, to use how they like. Usually in bringing people to court if they bring up something that is not in their favour.

We don’t really need anyone to play devils advocate to say there was a kidnapping, we are well aware of that as a theory.

Says who? If you’re proposing a theory that goes against the mainstream consensus (as you point out) then you should be able to back it up. And from my perspective it’s natural to want to know more —but at the same time not just accept everything.

Well I’m basing my suspicions on the book written by the detective assigned to the case in Portugal and criminal profiler analysts as well as my own doubts caused by their shady behaviour and inconsistencies.
I don’t just accept everything - because I don’t know what happened. Everything should be explored
 
The dogs barking sends chills down my spine. What is evoking such a strong haunting reaction from these intelligent dogs... Oh that's right the cadaver scent of a young child :(
Think Eddie and keela were also used in a conviction of a man murdering his wife or something like that (a lot of time has passed now with a lot of information to try and retain, apologies)

Haha, I know that was not in my favour but it was pretty funny.
Ok I have made my point and will withdraw from commenting on this thread now, I really hate arguing in forums.

Sorry if I was about arsey. I don’t want you to not contribute to this.

The dogs gave me chills too. And I love that it’s called a Victim Recovery Dog 🐕- feels like someone on the case trying to find her.
 
I think the public believe the parents had something to do with t because nothing seems to add up. I also think there is a class issue. If they hadn’t been two drs just a single mum from a council estate they would have been ripped apart by the press.

People can’t inderstand why kate left the twins when she found Madeleine gone, why she didn’t answer the questions, why she washed her toy and so on.

I meant devils advocate in this thread where 99% of people think her parents killed her. I am just questioning the thought patterns that have lead to these conclusions.
Regarding the money raised, did the Mcanns actually profit from it? I saw one documentary about a scam artist that took over the investigation pretending to be more experienced in espionage than he was, who siphoned £1m out of the fund. It wasn’t a very good documentary so not sure how accurate it was, he ended up in prison but for a different scam.
The McCann’s may well have profited from their book or interviews but stealing directly from donations raised to find her surely would lead them to prison?

I think they had a lot of business people involved in paying off their mortgage etc, so I don't think they used the funds for themselves, it seems a lot of the funds were spent on trying to find maddie but squandered on dodgy PIs and lawyers. I guess the issue for people was they used the media when it suited but then sued anyone who said anything they didn't like.

I don't buy the cadaver dog. When I watched it there was just something about it that didn't feel conclusive to me. The blood dog yes but it could have been anyone's blood anywhere. But the cadaver dog picked up on the obvious places you'd put a body nowhere else, and only sniffed where pointed. It also went to the mccanns car and kept running off, kept being pointed to the car and eventually picked up on the drivers side. You would surely transport a body in the boot, so it would have picked it up there. Also it only picked up kates clothes, the keys and cuddle cat, which presumably was because they had kates scent. It didn't look like a controlled working dog to me. Perhaps he was another that wanted a nice slice of the maddie fund.

The dogs gave me chills, I had to stop watching after that and had bad dreams. I left it a good few days before watching the next episode 🙈

Only joking you’re more than welcome to say what you think 😄
 
I spent a good chunk of yesterday on a Madeleine McCann forum delving into the case further. After reading I take back my comments regarding Gerry (although the comment from the friend and the comment in the book was bloody weird and I stand by that!)
It was so haunting to read, to see photos of her. The ‘makeup photo’ especially. I still haven’t watched the documentary as I’m already uncomfortable just reading into it.

I don’t believe the cadaver dogs either sadly, I desperately want to. I know they can be very accurate on the one hand but I’m not sure their findings stand up as evidential (iykwim?) and I know they can be influenced by subtle cues of whoever is with them at the time.
 
I just finished watching it, had to stop last night as I got the heebie jeebies half way through the final episode right before before I went to bed 🙈

I went into watching it with the view that Kate and Gerry drugged her and it went horribly wrong and my views haven't changed. The documentary was pro McCann enough that I can see why people would think shes been abducted, especially if they haven't read all the conspiracy theories around the case.

I think the rumours that the Mccanns paid for the documentary aren't true, i think it pro McCann enough for netflix not to be sued by them, but not pro McCann enough to have been paid by them.

The Tapas 7 are shady AF, and I really do believe there's links to paedophilia rings with them.

I just can't help but think of all the what if's. What if she really was abducted? Imagine if they find her alive one day! I really hope we find out what happened to her in our lifetimes.

Now to go and watch some more Richard D Hall conspiracy videos to even things out again!
