Will wait and see - according to the Portugese yesterday, the police were stressing that she was being questioned as a witness and NOT as a suspect.

BBC news are reporting that the police are to confirm her official suspect status shortly.
 
Hmmm - the thing is *arguido* can mean many things, and a person can claim this status as it gives them the right to have a lawyer and to silence - it does NOT automatically mean that the person is a suspect to the crime, but that they are intrinsicle to the investigation, so they cannot leave the country etc. Obviously the media are going to sensationalise the status, but I am going to continue getting my info from the Portugese I think...I do hope a full explanation to the connotations are given.
 
if you ask me its just a tragic accident.

I personally believe the McCanns gave Madelaine sleeping pills/tranqulizer to keep her asleep whilst they were out with friends (which the authorities have already suggested might have happened) but they gave her too much. Tragically she died, the McCanns found her and panicked and buried the body somewhere......

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... that's a very interesting theory, and would explain why the blood found in the apartment was linked to the McCanns?

It's so hard not to speculate isn't it

it was only a matter of time really though wasnt it...

Doesn't anybody else think that it is kinda wrong how much publicity this one girl/family has got, when there are thousands of kids that go missing all the time and never even get mentioned...?

Blimey not heard that one
 
That's certainally a plausable theory PG. Re Weezy's explanation including the fact that this staus will mean Kate McCann cannot leave the country, that would tie in with recent specualtion that the McCanns were to return home due to lack of money. This was not a tabloid story, but something which came from friends of the family.
 
yes, but tragic accidents can happen...... Or maybe she gave her slightly more in the hope she would sleep through for longer. I dont know.......They are both GPs, hence how they had access to tranquilizers etc......
 
My OH has always maintained that there was an accident of some sort in that apartment - maybe a smack resulting in a fall. I told him he had a vivid imagination at the time.

Regardless of what happened, or who did what, I still think that there's a high possibility that Madeleine ended up in the sea...

Why would she want a lawyer or to remain silent, though?

If I was recalled for questioning by the police, and questioned for 11 hours, I would want a lawyer present, wouldn't you?

Absolutely I was listening to Radio 4 this morning & tales of Dafore scenes like women holding their decapitated babies, mothers being gang raped etc etc. Yep, 1 child at the end of it, sometimes we need to look to the greater good how many more lives could have been saved with that money? Still unfortunate though
 
I don't believe this headline has the significance that it might do in this country. First of all she has not yet been named as a 'formal named suspect'. Secondly that is quite different to 'suspect' as used in this country. It may simply mean that this gives the police the opportunity to ask some questions that they are not allowed to when someone is simply a witness.

I'm sorry but at this stage I simply cannot believe that either of the McCanns were involved in their daughter's disappearance/murder.

I also think that all the media attention they are getting must be hard to live with and as for all these theories that they harmed their child - well, I prefer to wait for the facts.

WRT the tranquiliser story - Very very unlikely given they are both trained medics.
 
Also they are both highly intelligent people. Who would know that the more publicity it go the more chance they have of finding her. thus they have done everything within thier power to keep it in the media.
If it was your child and you had the links wouldnt you do the same?

Personaly i think she has been taken and she is either dead or burried deeply within a pedophile ring. I pray for the former rather then the latter as it would be better for the little girl.

I dont think the family had anything to do with it. If they were involved then they wouldnt be making such a big thing about it in the media. I have to say that the portugese police seem a bit hopeless and if it were not for the international pressure then most likely would have written it off and left it as a kidnapping case.
Many other kids go missing on holiday and you never hear about it if the parents had anything to do with it why push for media interest and a more thourgh investigation?

Thanks Mickey but I do know all of that - please read my posts above and in the Soapbox - I have been trying to get the technicalities of arguido over!

Just trying to help!!!!
 
I had a lawyer with me when giving a statement to the police about a car crash i was involved in, if i was being questioned about anything by the police i would want a lawyer with me. I have nothing to hide, and that accident was not my fault but the wording you use can be very very important and the things you say can be twisted.
So yes if i were in kate maccans shoes i would have myself declaired a suspect so that i could have access to a lawyer
 
I find it hard to believe the parents had anything to do with Maddy's disapearance.they are both doctors so it is unlikely they'd have overdosed her. If Kate went back to the apartment and found her dead, could she have acted normally and when did she dispose of the body?
I think the speculation has arisen because some blood has been found on the toy and in the car but we all know what children are like, they have minor scrapes all the time.
I hope to god there's no truth in it.

Ah, but I heard that the car in which Madeleine's blood was found, wasn't actually hired until 3 weeks after she went "missing" . . . .

. . . . the plot thickens . . . but it does beg the question of what had they done with the body in the meantime ?
