Behavioural Patterns

For its descriptive power and for it's simple eloquence in achieving it's goal, these few words I think, are peerless. Seldom have I come across a sentence better suited to describe the McCann's behaviour on the evening of the third of May 2007, the evening that Madeleine met her fate.

I deliberately, in the first instance and for reasons obvious, refrain from using the word abducted, and in the second instance, the word disappeared.

Why do I make a point of this, the obvious apart? Madeleine did not disappear, to our eyes she may have, but she did not disappear. But primarily I mention it because quite recently I came across a quote from the insidious Clarence Mitchell, where he insisted that, "It's all a complete mystery."

Some details we are lacking most surely, but it is neither a mystery to us, as equally it is not a mystery to you, complete or otherwise.

The only thing that is complete, is your criminal complicity in obstructing justice.

It is said you aspire to be a Member of Parliament, don't be silly, the thought, like yourself, is too ridiculous for words.

It is in events such as this we see the actions and the words of the McCanns as neither consistent nor in accordance with the actions and imperatives of a parent trying to find or protect their child.

The McCanns themselves chose the time to alert the police, and it was the McCanns who demonstrably did not act in accordance with the circumstances they found themselves in. The circumstances demanded an urgent and efficient response, a response any truly concerned parent would have without hesitation made. It is here in the disparity between the actions and the words of the McCanns that we find a state of mind which is almost an unwillingness to act and one that is in total conflict with the priorities one might expect any parent in similar circumstances to automatically assume. more

On an entirely different note, I will leave a link for another interview, in case you haven't been there as yet.

And Nigel, I do wish you would provide something form of link to each individual article, if you will pardon my saying.

An interesting article by the way, can be found below the Goncalo Amaral post at the McCannfiles, the subject, LCN DNA

Paulo Sargento. Alfonso Egea. Mercedes. an Interview

Paulo Sargento, Alfonso Egea, and our own dear Mercedes of Hasta que se sepa la Verdad, were recently interviewed by the Spanish television network Cuatro (Four) for the show Las mañanas de Cuatro. (Four Mornings, unsurprisingly.)

The interview although in Spanish, is however, accompanied by an English transcript, here's a taste.

Alejandro Vázquez: You've worked on the Madeleine case from the beginning


Paulo Sargento: From the beginning, from the second day after the disappearance


Alejandro Vázquez: And what's your theory?


Paulo Sargento: I think the girl died on May 3, and it would have been utterly impossible for the kidnapping to have taken place. The abduction has been a media construction only, because there is not one supporting fact to support this.


Alejandro Vázquez: Why the McCanns are now saying that there is no evidence that Madeleine is dead?


Paulo Sargento: Because their (the McCann’s) interpretation is contrary to death, in fact there is evidence: corpse odour, the scent of human blood and there is a set of forensic evidence, evidence that the girl is dead unfortunately.


Alejandro Vázquez: Can your surmise that with such evidence that there has been a murder, manslaughter...


Paulo Sargento: Yes


Alejandro Vázquez: ...the case has been shelved.


Paulo Sargento: I am sure that were it a Portuguese couple, the treatment wouldn’t have been the same. The forensic evidence would have been constituted as proof, and probably the couple would be in prison.



Alejandro Vázquez: How would you define Gerry and Kate’s behaviour? more
