The story of Mad's disappearance is becoming more and more bizarre. To be honest, on an intuitive level, this story smells of rat to me. The bizarre behaviour of the parents - to the point of unwinding a massive over-the-top PR party; the apparent hatred directed towards the Portuguese authorities for lack of professionalism…

…that creepy blog!

In all honesty, I have come to believe that the Portuguese police are doing their best and are approaching this case with utmost professionalism. In fact, they are so good that they are stumbling upon evidence of the parents’ involvement.

What would motivate a parent to kill their child? I don’t know and there would probably be many reasons. However, in this case, let’s just say that, IMHO, this was a case of a child paid for and delivered as agreed.

Except the Portuguese police are doing a good job – too good for their own good. Would love to hear what other people think about this case.

The Portuguese police chief investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has been sacked after launching a stinging attack on his British counterparts.

"British police have only worked on what the McCann couple want them to work on," Chief Inspector Goncalo Amaral said, according to UK newspaper The Daily Mail.

The attack came after police from Leicestershire, the county in central England where the McCann's live, followed up a tip off e-mailed to Prince Charles's official website that suggested a disgruntled ex-maid from the apartment complex that Maddie vanished from may have kidnapped her.

"The lead has no credibility for the Portuguese police," the detective reportedly told Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias.

"They have come to investigate tops and information developed and worked on by the McCanns, forgetting the couple are suspected of the death of their daughter Madeleine.

"This story about kidnapping for revenge is another lead worked on by the McCanns."

The outburst came just days after another UK newspaper, the Sunday Mirror revealed Chief Inspector Amaral had been working as little as four and a half hours a day and enjoyed "boozy lunches" as a un-investigated sightings of the missing child continued to mount.

On the 150th day since the disappearance of his daughter from a Portuguese villa, Gerry McCann wrote in his blog that it was "just another painful day without our beautiful daughter".

"The questions we ask are pretty much the same as those we asked in the first few days.

"Who took her, why did they take her and where is she?"

I have not really looked into this as I have not been near much media outlets of late and only now getting into the swing of things, though I know small tidbits of what has been going on. My mother in the U.K while I was talking to her yesterday brought up the subject of Mad´s .She mentioned how it was reported that the parents sedated the kids when they went out for that meal, or other meals also.

Your normal street adult would be behind bars now for such conduct and social services would have your kids.

My mother reads the mirror and listens to U.K. radio talk shows so im guessing thats her source.

I watched a film a few weeks ago with Donald Sutherland "Human Traffic" which also brought to mind this child. The film stated it was the third largest money bringer in after Narcotics and porn , or gambling cant remember which.

What you say about the British papers accusing the Portugese policeman in charge of the case of being a drunk and so on, could suggest that someone pretty high up doesnt want this case looked at too much.

So at present I dont really have enough information to go on, though I think it needs a closer look at of course.Will stay tuned , and remain open to anything I come across.
 
It kind of bugs me that they keep referring to their daughter's looks: "our beautiful daughter," "our lovely daughter." What about "precious" or "beloved" or "adored" etc?

I am convinced that Andrew G. Hodges is correct about the murder of JonBenet Ramsey in his book "A Mother Gone Bad," that it was Patsy Ramsey who killed her daughter somewhat by accident after catching husband "playing games" with her. She then engaged the husband in "finishing off" the mortally wounded child and covering up the crime. There seems to be a similar flavor to the Madeline case.

Anybody who hasn't read Hodges' book, I highly recommend it.

What really happened that horrific Christmas night in 1996 when six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was brutally murdered in her family's Boulder, Colorado mansion? Many people are convinced we'll never know. Crucial evidence is missing or was mishandled, and the investigation has appeared stymied. But now, psychiatrist Andrew G. Hodges reveals not only the identity of the killer, but also exactly what took place during the final hours of JonBenet's life - evidence that is all the more compelling because it comes directly from the killer's own mind. Dr. Hodges, who has been interviewed by detectives directly involved in the case, deciphers the hidden messages in the infamous ransom note as well as other written and spoken communications that are critical to the case. Working as a detective of the human mind, Hodges unfolds the riveting story step-by-step, Columbo style. And he shows how the murderer has clearly confessed. Charles Donald Byron, Special Agent FBI (retired), tells us, "As a seasoned, skeptical FBI agent, I am now convinced." And, as Dr. James O. Raney of the University of Washington School of Medicine reveals, "This is a story of jealousy, envy, revenge, hate and love. The participants try to cover an event that is the stuff of classic drama - if Dr. Hodges is correct - 'at the end of the Greek tragedy, the fantastic turns out to be true.'"

I don't think the Portuguese police would have been to prepared to investigate 'their own', as in their own powerful citizens who may be involved. If they looked beneath the surface they may discover the corrupt and stained underbelly of these type of people, not to mention a very large, spread out and powerful network.

There is no way these people can afford to be exposed and will probably do anything to avoid any exposure of their double life.

If there was any evidence against the McCanns they would have been arrested by now. This has all the appearance of a clever diversion. The Portuguese police never looked in the right place to begin with and if any of them that had, they would have been 're-directed' or 'bought off'.

There's nothing wrong with treating the McCanns as suspects, but you still need evidence and the trail went cold pretty quick, suggesting they were following the wrong line of enquiry.

Too 'past tense'. Those are the sort of words you would expect to use at a funeral, or when the child has already died. I know its subjective, but still....
 
This case has reminded a lot of Australians of Lindy Chamberlain, the woman who was accused of murdering her daughter despite the overwhelming evidence that a dingo in fact took her. The way the Northern Territory police handled the case was truly appalling. They knew that Chamberlain was innocent, and yet they were determined to have her framed for various psychopathic and 'face-saving' reasons.

The following Sydney Morning Herald article compares the Chamberlain case with the McCann case:

There is a post that talked a bit on the subject over here as well.

What made me question the parents in the first place was the overwhelming media coverage that was put on the case.
One child lost is one child too much but in this case what about thousands of kids missing that no one cares about ?

It's just my impression but I found it very weird that they met the pope and that Richard Branson offered them money for the lawyers.
For the parents, to go to such lenghts to show their "love" is peculiar to me, as if somehow they needed to prove how much they "care".
It sounds to me like they're trying too much to show that they haven't done it by using the medias as to block the idea that they maybe could have done it.

I remember reading an article where the mother was accused of being too cold.
A few days later, you could see that "she collapsed in tears" back in England.
How conveniant.

my two cents.
