Jumping on the bandwagon!

How soon is it before the ‘scabloid’ newspapers print the any of these headlines?

“The most hated woman in Britain” or
“The Face of Evil” or
“A mother’s shame” etc

At the moment I feel sorry for the family having to face the foreign paparazzi that have hounded them out of Portugal, which was reminiscent of how dangerous the media were hounding Princess Diana before the crash that killed her!

Even now the paparazzi are stationed outside their house. If was in the same situation I’d go mental towards the cameras and swear loads even if it did show me in a bad light!

But then again we must also feel sorry for the guy who was the original suspect; his life has been ruined by the medias interest in every detail about him, true or untrue! He was basically branded a pedophile and yet now he’s been forgotten and left to pick up what’s left of his life!

And what of the forensics evidence that’s been announced to the press? It seems awfully weak, but then maybe the real stuff has been withheld since the beginning of the investigation so that the real suspect whomever ‘she’ maybe might trip up!

It’s a cliché but “think of the children springs to mind when I see the press hounding the family, but then they did court the media to help move the case forward and get national interest so that Maddie would not be forgotten, but perhaps that’s why they remain so calm and haven’t flipped?

Kate McCann! Guilty?

Since May my cousin and I have been saying that the McCann’s did ‘it’ or more likely that Kate McCann murdered her daughter Madeleine! We had our own theory that Kate got angry with Maddie, on that May night in Portugal, and killed her in a temper! Maybe Madeleine didn’t want to be put to bed or be left with her younger siblings whilst her parents went for a meal!

We didn’t think that the Dad was necessarily involved because of the way he was during interviews, he came across as a genuinely upset parent and struggled through press conferences whilst his wife just stared on. What we couldn’t work out if Kate did it on her own or she got help to move the body. Maybe from the guy who kept being called in for questioning?

And we also wondered where you’d put a body if your somewhere abroad you don’t really know and don’t want to get caught in the act of moving it! Surely the police would have found the body by now because they would know obvious places to look? And, had Kate been hiding what she did from her husband, did he know anything about it! It’s the little details that are the most interesting ones in this case.

If you mentioned a few months back that you thought the parents were guilty in any way you’d have been lynched! Where as we kept going on about the bad parenting of these two apparent clever middle class people, which the newspapers were afraid to mention until weeks later when the foreign press had already done the dirty for them.

Everyone I know was well annoyed at how they’d left their kids and didn’t see anything wrong with being away from them, they were “only across the road” the papers kept saying and they checked on the kids every 15 minutes. Bollocks I say to that! If you were having a slap up meal with friends and drinking it would be easy to forget to check on your kids. But then maybe Kate checked on Maddie and that was when she was murdered her or was she dead before the meal?

I was constantly muttering in May, “She did it!” every time Kate McCann appeared on the TV! It made me remember the South Park episode where they slag of OJ Simpson and the parents of that US Beauty Teen! “You did it, you murdering murders!” I just couldn’t understand how these terrible parents could go and whine about their missing /dead kids! If the McCann’s were a black family they would have had zero press, and any press they did get would have been labeling them as ‘BAD PARENTS!’

Kate McCann has always been a bit more silent when interviewed and you could say it’s because she was closer to Madeleine than her husband but she always had a strange air about her! There was just something not right about the way she looked and acted when on camera like she had other stuff going on in her mind! She seems to me the kind of person who can switch off her emotions, she has that reptilian look. Glazed eyes and she’s very icy cold I can’t remember her being that emotional.

On the ITN News talking to Kate’s parents back in the UK (07/09/07) they said there daughter thinks that either the police or someone who had access to the blood evidence must have planted it in their room, (*I’ll comment on this in a bit). The evidence in question is linked to the fact that Madeleine’s blood turned up in a car hired by the McCann’s 35 days after their daughter went missing! She apparently swore at the police when they asked the obvious question about whether she was guilty of killing her daughter

* I found this a bit weird? Kate says that someone must have planted evidence of blood in the bedroom. But the evidence at the moment is more to do with blood found in the car, which is apparently Madeleine’s. Kate’s parents didn’t mention this at all? Does this mean that Kate finds it odd that blood was in the bedroom, does she know something we don’t like how Maddie was killed, and that there was no blood from Madeleine’s body when she was moved from the room? So she finds it odd that there was blood found? Was Maddie strangled or suffocated then? Maybe it’s nothing but it just struck me as odd that she was obsessing on this more than anything else.

Where has this blood come from then? The police obviously believe that Kate has been in contact with Madeleine’s body since her disappearance and that this has been transferred to the hire car! I believe that Kate is guilty but I’d be the first to admit that it’s a hard case to break and if she is eventually found not guilty I’ve been a complete arse and unsympathetic to this poor grieving family, even though they shouldn’t have left Maddie and her siblings alone!

I don’t have a problem with killing Kate’s motives, there are plenty of reasons why she might of done it, my questions are “Where is the body now?” “How could it still be missing?” and “Who else was involved?” That might sound a bit like Donald Sutherland’s famous speech in Oliver Stones “JFK” but these are reasonable questions that we may never, ever know the answers to!

Wow that was a reasonably grown up piece of writing for me seeing as I had on the original “The Hills Have Eyes” on in the background when I was typing all this and was waiting to have a cup of tea!
