When asked about reports that Kate McCann would be named a suspect in her 4-year-old daughter's disappearance, (David) Hughes (family spokesman) said: "They told her last night that it would happen today. That's definite."
Hughes, the family spokesman, said the police have 22 questions that they want to ask Kate McCann, which require her to be made a formal suspect. Under Portuguese law, the legal move grants certain protections to the suspect, but allows police more latitude in questioning.
Father to be made a formal suspect this afternoon.
Next thing, she will be telling us that the Dingo at her baby.
Why is this news when there are other insignificant unsolved cases still making the news cycle?
It was not the best thing to leave children behind at a hotel room. Something is not right with the parents though. It’s possible, Madeline was accidentally killed and never kidnapped.
1. The previous night or the one before that, the parents left the children alone in the room. Madeliene got very upset and was HOWLING - Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. The other guests complained and the couple was brought back from their social gathering to attend to her by the hotel management.
2. The police have been unable to nail down when was the last time Maddie was seen alive by someone other than her parents. It appears that it may have been as early as 2:00 PM. Meaning no one saw Maddie alive, other than the parents, from 2 PM to 10 PM when she was reported missing.
3. No one has been able to ascertain who among the group friends actually checked on the children and at what times. (The McCanns were having tapas with 9 friends that evening and they supposedly took turns - every 15 minutes checking on the children. However, the exact times and who saw Maddie are unclear.)
4. When the mother discovered Maddie missing, she ran back to the restaurant (about 100 yards) screaming "They have taken her." This is suspicious because a.)wouldn't her first reaction be to assume Maddie had wandered off, b.) why the plural "they," c.)why - if she thought someone had kidnapped her daughter - would she leave her twins alone in the hotel room. Why not call the hotel staff or her husband on a cell phone?
5. The Portuguese police failed miserably upon arrival, not securing the crime scene, not questioning the parents and friends separately, not even searching the room thoroughly, and much more. However the twins slept through the whole thing.
6. McCanns embark on worldwide media blitz.
7. The hapless Portuguese begin investigating the possibility of a stranger abduction, pedophile ring, Satan ritualists, white slavery, black baby market, etc. They even tried to frame an innocent person, searching his house, digging up his garden and destroying his reputation in the media.
8. The British media published every single blunder the Porties made in screaming type.
9. The Portuguese were forced to ask British LE for help.
10. The Brits sent cadaver and trace evidence dogs along with other forensic specialists. They sent information to a lab that is best CSI-type place in Europe.
11. It was revealed that "English Dogs" smelled death in the apt where Maddie disappeared, in the floor of a closet there, in the trunk of a car rented after the disappearance, in Kate McCann's clothing and in a stuffed hippopotamus (Cuddle Cat) that was the girls favorite toy. This has been video taped and is admissible as "something."
12. Madeliene's DNA was found in the apt and it appeared to have been washed.
13. Kate McCann was caught admitting to have washed Cuddle Cat.
14. Both parents were questioned separately (1st time), with lawyer present (1st time), and named official suspects.
15. Their friends from the Tapas bar night will now be reinterviewed on Monday.
16. Over 55 British LE, including detectives, forensic specialists, scientists and officers in their home town are working on the case. (The latter looking for background information.)
This report, at this time at least, is erroneous. They did interview her, as well as the father. That is common police practice. It’s just that the Portugese didn’t do it as soon as they should have. (According to several people I saw interviewed this morning, the parents always have to be interviewed first, as they are the most likely suspects.)
Both parents are doctors, so this makes no sense — other than pressure was put on the police to wind everything up fast to save Portugal’s tourist industry.
