They did what now?
Television The Disappearance of Madeleine Mccann Netflix Documentary

- Start date
That British journalist based out there said that people all over could sympathise with the McCanns because it was so normal to leave their kids on holiday in their room. Said he did the same.
At that point i just thought this is going to be an incredibly biased documentary because that was the biggest pile of bullshit I've ever heard.
Drugs was just rumours.
If you don't know much about this case and just start reading about it, it's easy to get caught up in some really cult-like anti McCann webside's and forum's. Some really sick people.
Wait, what?
Well we did it on a few occasions
Making it a matter of routine, as seems to be the case here, is a whole different thing though. Why do people bother to have children at all if they’re so desperate to spend as much time apart from them as possible? It’s not like they’d earned a break; the poor little sods were abandoned in a kids’ club all day every day.
Yeah that makes me wanna throw up every time I see it, can't comprehend how someone would be thinking that about their child after they've gone missing but to then put it in your fecking book ffs.
Yep.
What the fecking hell?!Yeah that makes me wanna throw up every time I see it, can't comprehend how someone would be thinking that about their child after they've gone missing but to then put it in your fecking book ffs.
Yep.
They gave her sleeping tablets when they went out? They've admitted to that have they not
Not bullshit at all. I'd never do it, but it absolutely was commonplace back in the day.
For example, at Butlins they used to have members of Butlins staff that would walk up and down the aisles of appartments listening out for crying children. If a child could be heard a message would go round informing guests that crying could be heard from X appartment.
fecking hell, forgot about this.Yeah that makes me wanna throw up every time I see it, can't comprehend how someone would be thinking that about their child after they've gone missing but to then put it in your fecking book ffs.
Yep.
Nah it was never claimed and they never admitted it, was just a theory that caught on.
Ignore that then. I was fairly certain they admitted to it
Would you not investigate in and around the apartment to see if an unattended 3 year old could have maybe climbed out of the window or ended venturing out somewhere, because, you know; they're fecking 3 and don't have a clue. Why would you suddenly come to conclusion that Maddie was taken?
From what I've read this documentary appears to be bringing no new evidence, no new ideas, no new point of view and no access to those most intimately involved. It's not like this is some obscure case that people don't know about either. So what's the actual point of it?
Documentaries like this are guaranteed viewers for netflix because people are obsessed with them since Making a Murderer.
Yeah i stupidly wasted hours yesterday watching the first 4 episodes, its essentially a recap of the media coverage from 2007, there's no new insight or anything provocative that well made crime documentaries do to make it valuable viewing
Entertainment,unfortunately.
S
So many questions.Yeah that makes me wanna throw up every time I see it, can't comprehend how someone would be thinking that about their child after they've gone missing but to then put it in your fecking book ffs.
Yep.
Way before that. The South Park Murder Porn episode came out in 2013.
So inspector Netflix is on the case.
Started watching it a while ago, on episode 3 now.
Pieced together well and some great footage. Always believed the parents were guilty in some way. Such a bizarre and sad situation all told.
EDIT: That comment above about her genitals is absolutely disturbing. I wasn't aware of that at all.

Because they're well-off & white. If little Munesh or Tyrone disappeared on holiday with his working class parents from Birmingham, the search would've ended in a year.
They've a few connections as well.
The Portuguese police had absolutely no idea what they were doing as well. I mean it's laughably incompetent in hindsight.
In the thread on here at the time that was being disputed by Portuguese posters... For what it's worth.
Such an interesting case, but one that can provide nothing but frustration as we'll simply never know.
While it's very easy to say you'd never leave your kids for more than however long, I think people underestimate how close the restaurant was to the room. Plus there were hourly checks. These checks were made on rotation by the group, so this surely rules out any idea that Madeline was dead "days" before the missing date (one theory).
The evidence of "blood" and smell of "death" in the room from the Police dogs is interesting, as is the dna match in the hire car. Unexplained situations.
But I've always thought the most likely version was the abductor story, and now the abductor is dead themselves. There were a number of seedy characters in and around the area, a couple who are now dead.
Talk of "Over dosing" her seems ludicrous. This is doctors we're talking about here. You'd need a tonne too high a dose for that.
And talk of some elaborate cover up, managing to do it, hide it from their friends who were helping carrying out the checks, and then managing to get rid of the body all in a small time frame seem to ask for pretty epic levels of stealth.
The Portuguese investigation seemed a bit of a joke as well, one investigator coming up with outrageous slurs against them, and getting kicked off the case, and sued.
Some of the McCanns comments and soundbites are a bit off, but if they've just had their daughter stolen, how should they act? Most likely you'll be all over the place.

You had one detective so out of order, he got kicked off the case.
Then he wrote a book to profiteer from the misery, and said that the McCanns smuggled her body into some local church!
You couldn't make it up, although he clearly has!
Have you read 'The Truth of the Lie' by Goncalo Amaral, who led the investigation when the child first vanished? This man was maligned by the British press, the McCanns, and uncle Tom Cobbly and all. Yet his conclusions remain to be disproved.
Hope there's a happy ending.
Like a lot of people around the case - trying to profiteer.
How do you know Amaral made it up? The Portuguese court didn't think so.
Sometimes accusations are so wacky you'd waste time and energy on bothering to disprove them.
The onus on an allegation is to prove it, not for others to disprove it.
Because there's no evidence at all for it?
Have you read the book?
I'm not saying that he personally was incompetent but their lack of urgency until intense pressure from the media is pretty obvious. Also trying to pin it on Murat because some stupid journo likened it to the Soham murders is fecking dumb.
Summarise for me the evidence he gives that has been proven.
There's lots of stuff surrounding this case that makes no sense. The media pressure came to bear pretty much straight away, and accusations of incompetence were levelled at the Portuguese police from day one.
You can find summaries online and even an English translation. If you haven't read it, how can you argue against it based on any summary I can provide?
There's so much rumour and misinformation surrounding this case out there that this might be bollocks, but I'm fairly sure I read that the apartment was a ground floor apartment, at roadside, and that they left the patio door unlocked, and that when Kate went to check, her immediate reaction was to yell, "they've taken her, the bastards have taken her," which just seems extremely odd.
What about the shutters?
