The Truth of the Matter

.
This little girl went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve on 3rd May 2007 when she was on holiday with her Parents and her twin siblings.

It is generally not known whether she is dead or alive. It IS known that had she not been left unattended and unprotected by her parents whilst they went out with friends to wine and dine she would be with them today.
.

The Parents Gerry and Kate McCann, both of whom are Doctors, and should have been more responsible looking after their children.

.

IS THIS GERRY OR ?????

..

.

Todays Sunday Express carries yet another "was it him" picture taken on the beach at PdL before Maddie disappeared.   Why does such rubbish take over 3 years to be brought before the public who, maybe at the time, could have given some assistance.

We have studied the picture and, quite frankly, it could be almost anyone, including Gerry McCann himself!   The story given by the woman who took the snap is quite plausible as there are plenty of "con men" and "beggers" in the Algarve who will dream up any story to gain a small donation.  We have been accosted by them ourselves but would not credit them with the intelligence to attempt abduction.

Quoting from another source: 

In the case of an abduction, the waters are further muddied, but the sentiment and message is the same. The United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Juvenile Justice Bulletin, June 2000 states that in the case of the abduction of a child, their researches show that the parents are involved in 49% of cases, acquaintances in 27% and 24% of cases, a stranger.

We do not think that todays revelation will assist or enhance the current investigation.

81 MILES TO SWELL THE FUND OF ALL FUNDS

He'll be there somewhere

.
A reader posted the following link to Gerry's 81 mile bike ride: http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2010/05/another-81-miles-for-madeleine-gerry.html

We visited the site and after reading the Limited Company history we moved to the "Donate" page.  We were confronted with the Objects of the Fund as follows:

The full objects of the Fund are:
.
To secure the safe return to her family of Madeleine McCann who was abducted in Praia da Luz, Portugal on Thursday 3rd May 2007;
.
To procure that Madeleine’s abduction is thoroughly investigated and that her abductors, as well as those who played or play any part in assisting them, are identified and brought to justice; and
.
To provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine’s family.
.
If the above objects are fulfilled then the objects of the Foundation shall be to pursue such purposes in similar cases arising in the United Kingdom, Portugal or elsewhere.
.
We would like to comment that there is no evidence that we have seen, from forensic means, by reliable witness statements or otherwise, indicating that Madeleine was actually abducted.  As there is NO such evidence there can only be a suspicion of an abduction having taken place and consequently there can be no certainty that there is, or was, an actual abductor.    Hence, the object of the fund is flawed in its conception by such references having been made.
.
Perhaps were better to change the wording to "who disappeared", "Madeleine's disappearance" and "anyone connected with her disappearance" etc. etc.
.
From the preceding it would therefore seem that the Fund Objectives have been specifically created to give support and financial assistance to the family.  Furthermore the final object (If the above objects are fulfilled) is TOTALLY conditional on the primary objects being achieved, therefore no other missing child or family will obtain any help from the fund whatsoever until the Madeleine case is solved - and maybe not even after that!

We have decided NOT to donate!

CARNATIONS FOR GERRY

Gerry McCann was presented with a nice bunch of carnations when he and Kate went to Lisbon for the hearing against Goncalo Amaral.

.

He accepted them without question - if only he had realised the special significance of such a "gift"!
