Gerry and Kate Mcann promoting Book on Late Late next week

Degsy

So they are asked about the numerous "sightings" of Madeleine and gerry says "Well we know they're probably not her but they're all logged"..you KNOW that,do you?
This pair stink..everything about them is contrived,rehearsed and false.

"Read the book,its all in there"

Bastards.

Dont be daft, havent you ever gone for something to eat, not even a 100 Yards away from were you child was? What would you do if you came back and your child was gone?? fooking Freak is what you would do. all this media/internet talk does nothing but give 'what ifs'' to people whose opinion that does not count.

I'd probably call RTÉ and write a book about it.

Oh wait...

if the mcans had something to do with madeline's dissapearence like ,accidently kill her ,sell her,murder her, do ya not think at this stage they would do there best to stay out of the limelight and not draw attention to themselves, they act weird,dont give the best interview,draw attention to themselves and the case with this book and raft of tv interviews...

im not saying they didnt do anything or that they did, im just saying its ann odd way to act if your guilty...like goin on tv all the time isnt going to let them just get away with it if they are responsible..

Can't have their madeline fund drying up now can they?

Kudos to Tubridy for asking the questions he did and I think he done an excellent job, he asked the questions and let them answer but didn't push, which I think was appropriate in this situation.

Seems the saying "give them enough rope and they will hang themselves" has prevailed.

Maybe I've been swayed by the theories put forward on this thread and the reading up on it I've done but after watching that interview I sure think something is a miss, especially with Gerry. She seemed pretty sincere in my opinion.

One of my bosses reminds me exactly of Gerry. Really nice guy but comes across as a bit cold and hard to get to know which is actually not true. He's from Glasgow too so I might put his personality down to that. Also another Glaswegian I worked with is a bit like that too. Wouldn't read much into it personally.

Something has just dawned on me................................................maybe they are telling the truth!

I know it's a long shot BUT.................

The truth is no matter what these pair say or do, they are always going to be judged based on the fact they left their kids unattended to while they were socialising, and like a lot of folks have said, they would forever regret it.

I cannot reliably or conclusively make any postulations as to what happened that night to that poor girl ,but some of the assertions on this thread are quite bewildering in the least and a lot quite judgemental.

One will assume, from reading most comments on here that AH is full of qualified Psychologists/ Psychoanalysts that can decipher guilt easily based on comments and actions of the couple. It is good to have an opinion on issues but it is even better that those opinions are carefully considered and well-thought out rather than an attempt to take a popular stance or more pathetically try to be funny.

did i miss them appealing to the public for sightings/information on their missing child and just catch that they had a new book coming out??

I actually changed my mind about kate after that interview, she seems quite genuine. Gerry seems weird and didnt let kate get a word in edgeways. dont know if that indicates guilt or if hes just an ass.

Well Kate did say Gerry is the more out-going of the two so it's probably just his manner and I don't necessarily think it makes him an ass or means he's hiding something.

i think the whole 'read the book' is just a kick in the face to any parents of missing children who would love to have a chance to talk about their child instead of trying to sell their book.

So would you rather they did nothing to try and find Madeleine?

up for anything

I'm uncomfortable after that interview. He seems to be in such control of himself and her. He kept his hand on hers most of the time and she couldn't take her eyes from him. That doesn't seem normal to me and neither does the fact that neither of them appealed to 'us'. If it were me in here place I would try and make some connection with the viewing audience and beg and plead for people to keep an eye out for her wherever they are... in supermarkets, along streets, on holiday... I'd just beg them to keep looking and I'd be bloody crying no matter how much control I had. I can't understand that they didn't appeal.

Well at the very least there is a lot perfect parents who have never made a mistake on here.

I'd love to know their secrets.

i hope the poor girl is found soon.

As I said in my post above I think this could just be his personality or a Glasgow/Scotish thing. Just judging by my own experience and people I've met.

Kate seems a quieter person. He's probably just being a supportive husband.

Considering it is likely they killed her and disposed of the body, yes. Yes I would.

You think taking time out to write a book about the whole affair and galavant (sp?) around TV shows to promote said book, while banking the extortionate price for same, is in any way productive in the hunt for their daiughter??

Right so...:rolleyes:

Speaking as someone who like Kate McCann will struggle to conceive due to endometrosis and other issues, this whole thing just sickens me.

She was lucky to enough to manage to overcome her difficulties, yet she thought nothing of leaving that child alone.

I cannot relate to that on any level. If I ever manage to have a child, I will do anything for the child. Infact given my situation, my possible child would end up being the most over protected child ever.

Having spoken to numerous women who have had difficulty conceiving, almost all are guilty of being over protective.....

Gerry= Joe O'Reilly..loving the attention,revelling in his deeds and smarming about getting away with it.

Just a quick question. Do they believe Madeline is still alive?
And if so, why continue speaking about her past tense? Personally if it was my child, and I beleived she was still alive, no way I wud be talking in the past tense.
Or is it just me being to padantic?

They know she's dead. As do the Portuguese & British police:

From 01:10 on in this link, Kate responds to a question about her emotion (or lack thereof.) It's interesting to watch how she tries to respond to the question, but Gerry cuts in on her talking about how "as Brits we're pretty stoical" and she looks very p*ssed off at him cutting in like that, but still lets him finish for her.

In fact he often cuts in like that in interviews. She starts an honest answer, then he cuts in with a load of rehearsed-sounding crap.

this. he did it again tonight, watching Kates demeanour even when gerry's speaking,i think shes innocent, and knows feck all, shes shy,introverted and looks woeful, he on the other hand reminds me of the big fat pig in Aninmal Farm,..the bogey one... (ceaser?)

Too smug,and self assured, he also said some things that were different to the official police report...

Heartbreaking:(

I agree that using the media is one way, and a powerful one, for the McCanns or any parents missing a child to highlight the issue and to get the child's face out into the public domain.


But what is odd, to me anyway, is why were the media called before the police?

Are those links i/you read completely true?


The Telegraph was running the story on their website as an abduction at the same time as the first policemen were arriving at the scene.

Now the phone records of both the hotel and the emergency records were presented in the report and both showed the call to the police as happening at 23:50.

again , verification is the key, they said tonight they rang family,and a friend in the BBC,but implied it was after the police were called....

The police were recorded as having arrived at the scene roughly ten minutes after the call was made, something both the McCanns and the police agree on. But the English media were already able to have all the details on the child, the McCanns and that it was an abduction before the police even started the investigation.


where's the actual official docuement that says their phons memorys,call logs were erased before police arrived...?
It just strikes me as odd that the media back in England would be rang before the local police on such a thing.

And it also strikes me as strange that a child found missing at 22:00 and whose mother was sure straight away that it was an abduction, would not be reported to the police for another hour and fifty minutes.

Now that does not mean the McCanns are guilty of doing something to the child, but the fact that the call times are present in the report and that they clash badly with the McCanns timeframe does present the potential for doubt.

also agree with this....

Kess73 wrote: »

Yep the official report of the case states that the very first call received by the police was at 23:50 and that the phone records of the hotel along with that of the emergency services number both support that.

In the book released today Kate claimed that they had called the police within ten minutes of finding the child missing, but did Gerry not claim there that they called the police at 22:40?--HE DID

He also said that the police took nearly an houir to show up, yet the cctv footage at the hotel showed the police arriving approx ten minutes after the time logged in the hotel phone records and the police records for the first call to the police.

There was also a mention of Matthew Oldfield checking on the kids before Kate did, yet in Oldfield's own statement to the police he says that he only looked in through the window and only saw the twins there.

I dunno folks, if innocent they are answering questions that theorists are posing, if guilty they're scrambling to fill up any discrpencies in statements, a lá the ones above,and kate saying the shutters were opened, she said she closed them(from inside) ...gerry said he OPENED them from the OUTSIDE...i thought this clashed with the official findings.....????


Fuck me..... i feel so, so, relieved my little ones are tucked up in bed, i check on them at home, even when i get up for a whizz during the night ffs:o

Can you prove they killed her? Because I genuinely haven't seen any evidence to convince me they did, and I am open-minded about every possibility.

theres outgoing and theres taking over the whole conversation. Ryan at one stage even had to say Kate at the end of the question to ensure she was the one to answer. i dont think it means hes hiding something either, i think its just how he is- an ass! :P

id rather they actually answer the questions asked if they're doing an interview! if they dont want to talk about her then they shouldnt agree to an interview. these are a high profile couple and they are been given high profile interviews that other parents of missing children could only dream of and they use it to plug their book! its insulting imo.

As you well know they are doing it to keep her case in the spotlight and raise money for their foundation/fund to enable them to contine looking for her.

You can genuinely say how you would react in their situation and how you would react for the following 6 years? I doubt it.

Degsy you're spot on. I don't think any interview since his has disturbed me this much. I remember at the time saying he was guilty and others saying he was just in shock.

And I haven't seen any evidence to convince me that she was abducted. I am also open-minded to all possibilities but I am certainly leaning on the side of one or both of them knowing something about what happened.
