Just brought the book today, roll on Taylas nap time so i can start reading it! Bet I cry

Aw I don't think i'd be able to read it.

Ive read the bits in the sun paper and nearly had me in tears so dont think i could read her book x

Is that madeleine mccann? Stuart is convinced her parents killed her by accident through drugs and then disposed of body in a panic. We have had rows over it. He says there was too much evidence that was ignored and the Portuguese police know they did it eg blood in back of car, time differences in stories.

I really dont believe they had any part in her disappearance and my heart breaks for them. Stuart compares them to thats sick stupid biatch who hid her own daughter at an uncles house. What was her name? Shannon matthews? (Dont know if that the mum or daughters name). He thinks the Mccanns are making money out of this and holidaying round the world on the back of this story Again I dont agree with his thoughts on the matter!

I get angry when people suggest that as I really believe they didn't have anything to do with it, but i guess we'll never know.

see I went thro a stage adn thought it was them, I said for day one it was them, Im like our OH something went wrong that night nad they trying to cover it up. I think it was her and he doesnt know... BUT after seeing some interviews and stuff I dunno Iv changed my mind again and think they are innocent. but theres some part of me think theres alot more to the story than meets the eye! why only her and not the other 2? blood in boot of car? why her toy was put on top of wardrobe?? somthing doesnt add up...

Dont know if I can read it, I really want too.. but know Il be in tears start to finish.
It would be my worst worst worst fear ever! (makes me feel sick thinking about it now) if anything happened to either of my 2 would be deverstated, but them missing.... (stomache turning) you'd never rest ever again would you?? I wouldnt be able to sit and watch telly I would be looking for them 24/7. god welling up thinking about it!!

I agree with your OH snoopy... well I do and I don't... I think there's a lot of evidence that got brushed under the carpet like maddys blood in there car and the dogs that are trained to sniff out death going crazy in the apartment. something isn't right there and they never followed any of it up!

Im suspicious and becaue of that wouldn't read her book.

Well I dont know all the facts but i dont think the parents had anything to do with it, surely the police would of banged them up by now even finding false evidence just to get it out of the news headlines and save them a fortune.
Ill let you know what i think after ive read it though as she states all the facts and details.
Let me know if any one wants to read it after me to i can post it on x

I was a bit relunctant to read this post as I also agree with snoops oh. My mum used to really kick off at me until I gave her a few books to read which contained facts from the portugese police that were never published here.

What were they babymilly, the extra evidence etc? Or what makes people think they did it? Im more open to discuss it with other people than with OH as he's a moron at times. He doesnt read books and would just see a headline in the daily star and then make a theory up from that.

She starts the book by saying this is one of the reasons she writing it as other people have published books based on rubbish that was in the papers and she wants to tell the truth. Who knows though, i would like to think they are both had nothing to do with it.....Ill get back to once I have read it all!

Id like to think they had nothing to do with it too and I can't begin to imagine how they feel being accused of being involved when they weren't.

But there's still a lot of un answered questions in my opinion... I don't know why but the portugese police were made to stop there investigation and they weren't allowed to release any of there evidence... scotland yard took over didn't they. Now surely the fact that these two drugged there children and left them alone should have warranted them getting into some kind of trouble... or (and this is a genuine question not digging at htem) do the police/courts decide that they are suffering enough and let them off?

It's all very odd and i'd love to know if she explains some of the evidence that has been "forgotten" about

Aw it's her 8th birthday today

i too think there is more to it ,,, think i might get the book though as im interested in it and maybe would be enough for me to find her innocent ( not that my opinion in the case matters )

I dont really know enough about it but what I always say to stuart when he starts on it is...

How was it proven that maddy was drugged if body wasnt found?
Kids fall or scratch themselves all the time so tiny traces of blood/DNA could be on anything and then transfer onto boot.
How did they have the time to kill her/realise she was dead, remove body and clear scene when they were having dinner with friends? Would 15-20 mins be long enough, and where did they put her that the police never found her?

I think I might go on to amazon and order the book tonight. Im quite interested now x

ive bought the book too but reading another so will start it when I finish.

whatever happened those parents have to live with that guilt forever

By the way if anyone does want to order it its half price in WHSMITHS might get an early night n get into it tonight x

i just think it's really weird to write a book about it, what could that possibly achieve as it clearly wouldn't be objective. it does seem a little superficial to me to be honest.

Snoops

The book I had (have, could be anywhere) was published around April 009. There were a few published and on sale via internet and Madeline forums. I'm not going to start quoting the "facts" because I'll not doubt get it wrong (due to my old age). But I have a quick google and the "facts" are there on various sites, blogs, forums.

I'm not saying what I think is true, its just my opinion. No one knows what happened that night or in the days running up to the night of the alleged abduction. At the time it happened I was obsessed with it and joined a forum which was called three amigos.

My belief is that it was an accident and the mcanns tried to cover it up. I don't believe it happened on that night, I believe it happened earlier that day and that the body was moved several times. (I'm just going off what I have read).

Anyway if it turns out that the McCann's are telling the truth, I still have a very low opinion of them for leaving their 3 beautiful babies alone whilst they were out socialising!

I think for me, it was the fact that they left their kids while they went out and that Kate seemed very calm (and always had matching necklaces and earrings on) even on the day after the alleged abduction. If it had been me I would have been inconsolable and frantic and holding on to my babies and not letting them out of my sight again (Kate put the twins straight back in the creche)!

Anyway I'm no doubt talking bollocks, as I do and like I said this is just my opinion, and Yes if I was Kate I would spend the rest of my life telling MY story!

I don't want to upset anyone with my views (just take it as the usual bollocks I talk - I have a friend who really shout at me for saying such things

I think i get angry when people suggest they did it cause i can't imagine any parent doing that to their child. but like I said i guess we'll never know. There are a lot of discrepancies in the case. Certain things the McCann's did are questionable, for example I would never leave Imogen in a room in a foreign country while i had dinner, but I also thought the portuguesse police were very suspicious and shady at the time.

I wouldn't shout at you Babymilly, you raise some interesting points that iv never thought of/known before. I find it odd the twins were put in creche, although I suppose who can comment until they are in that terrible situation (please be to god that none of us ever are), what we would be thinking/who would be advising us who to trust etc....

Mari I read a blurb on the book on amazon and kate says they wrote the book to get money as madeleines fund is declining and they will spend every penny trying to find her. Stuart would simply say this proves his point that they are making money from her death and using some of it to fund their lifestyle.

Only read a few pages but the reasons for writing the book are for maddie and the twins so they have it there in writing when their old enough, she says she wasnt sure if it was the right thing to do exposing them/everything but she would rather them read her book than a book or lies and to know that they never gave up.

Oh yeh and for funding for the search!

Well that sounds nicer than what I took from amazon, maybe im starting to read things with a suspicious head too lol

“There are several different reasons as to why I finally came to the decision with my husband Gerry to write and publish this book,” said Kate McCann. “This decision has not been an easy one. Many factors needed to be given thorough and careful consideration, not least the impact of such a book on the lives of our three children. My reason for writing is simple; to give an account of the truth.

Publishing this book has been a very different decision and is one that we have taken after much deliberation and with a very heavy heart. However, in the last few months with the depletion of Madeleine’s Fund, it is a decision that has virtually been taken out of our hands.

Every penny we raise through its sales will be spent on our search for Madeleine. Nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.”

Gerry McCann said: “We are hopeful that this book may help the investigation to find Madeleine in other ways too. Our hope is that it may prompt those who have relevant information (knowingly or not) to come forward and share it with our team. Somebody holds that key piece of the jigsaw.”

Its actually quite sad if the book states that they are writing it to show they didnt give up hope but then amazon use that statement from a press release to plug the book. Maybe its got something to do with amazon wanting to show where the money goes. I like the reason terri said better!
