Kate and Gerry McCann Liars

This is a repost under a different header.

The Phone Records

Gerry McCann reacted angrily yesterday to claims he received a string of mystery texts the day before his daughter vanished.

Police applied to Portugal's supreme court to seize his phone records after learning of the alleged messages.

They claim Gerry was sent 10 texts from an unknown number 24 hours before Madeleine disappeared.
And detectives say four messages arrived from the same mystery number the day after she went missing, according to court documents.

But Gerry and wife Kate have dismissed the claims as "utter rubbish".
A source close to them said: "They have had their phone records available for inspection for months. But the police never asked for them. And now they have formally asked, they have been refused.

"Any suggestion of Gerry receiving 10 texts the day before Madeleine disappeared are utter rubbish.
"He hardly used his phone during the holiday and most of the friends with them didn't even have mobiles.

"The only time his phone rang was when work called and he explained he was on holiday. There are no mystery texts. Gerry has nothing to hide. It's yet more nonsense coming from Portugal."

Police also applied to see the phone records of the friends that Gerry and Kate were on holiday with.

But Portugal's supreme court yesterday issued a detailed ruling rejecting the application. It is believed detectives waited too long to request the records and that accessing them could breach privacy laws. A local judge had already turned down the application.

As part of the ruling, it emerged for the first time that the McCanns are being investigated for manslaughter.

It is the first time official paperwork has been made public in the year-long investigation into the five-year-old's disappearance from Praia da Luz.

The 5,000-word ruling also reveals that police are investigating the McCanns for "exposure, abandonment and concealment of a corpse".

Kate and Gerry recently claimed police do not officially suspect them - even though they are both still "arguidos".

McCanns' spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "They are not officially suspected of any crime.

"Nor have they been accused of any crime."

Maddy has been missing for 392 days

Whoops!!!!

I haven't bothered with the second sheet that shows the final two calls.

More on the deleted phone records from Paulo Reis, a worthy read.

The Pearls of Gerry McCann

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We want a big event to raise awareness that she is still missing, It wouldn’t be a one-year anniversary, it will be sooner than that (June 3, 2007)

I have no doubt we will be able to sustain a high profile for Madeleines disappearance in the long term.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been advised our behaviour was legally well within the bounds of responsible parenting and have been assured no action will be taken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

One good thing to come out of all of this is that there is so much in the press, nobody knows what is true, and what isn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and I have to concentrate on our own well being.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

we are hoping for the best possible outcome for us.... and Madeleine.

~~~~~~~~~~~

If the worst happened...at least she will be in a better place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It could have been worse, we could have lost the twins too. There were three children in the room. That's the worst nightmare.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's been a disaster! It's a disaster!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is very encouraging that Mr. Rebelo's officers will be seemingly reviewing all the material in the inquiry, which will hopefully identify areas for further investigation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have done nothing against the law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 5 or 6 weeks things went very quiet and I was actually quite glad of that, we could get back to a more normal existance and a quieter form of campaigning... broader political issues, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and I are totally 100% confident in each others innocence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know 100 per cent Kate could NOT have done anything. I know that's true from what I did that night...and in terms of what Kate knows about me, I was away from her for just ten minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Makes you think, why the twins did not wake up, they, he must have sedated them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The situation that Madeleine finds herself in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems like a disaster that we've got this huge donated fund and now we're not allowed to use it for legal costs because we're under suspicion."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are being absolutely stitched up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The iris is Madeleine's only true distinctive feature. Certainly we thought it was possible that this could potentially hurt her or the abductor might do something to her eye. But in terms of marketing, it was a good ploy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pearls of Kate McCann

.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Madeleine was everything to us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cuddle Cat was very special to Madeleine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know the situation we were in that night,

~~~~~~~~~~~~
It cannot be considered a crime. Someone committed one, but not us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that what happened is not due to the fact of us leaving the children asleep. I know it happened under other circumstances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sure immediately that she didn't walk out of that room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoever Madeleine's with she'll be giving them her tuppence worth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haven't I suffered enough without all these new lies coming out?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At worst we were naive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're good parents, not suspects.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was really just like being in your back garden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We'll do everything we can to find Madeleine; she deserves that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's not a day that goes by that I think to myself why did I think that was okay? Was I wrong in thinking that was okay? All I can think to myself is I know how much I love my children, and I know I am a responsible parent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish I could roll back time and go back to the day before Madeleine was abducted. I would slow down time. I would get a really good look around and have a really good think. And I'd think: Where are you? Who are you? Who is secretly watching my family? Because someone was watching my family very, very carefully. And taking notes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my job now. I can see this becoming my full-time career, with this whole issue of child welfare and opposing paedophiles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that is a very small minority of people that are criticising us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pearls of Clarence Mitchell

..
Mr Mitchell hit back: "It's a great shame that people seem more interested in making money out of Madeleine's disappearance instead of helping the search for her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and Gerry are not accused of any crime whatsoever.
Neither is there any suggestion that any charges are being considered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"However, Kate and Gerry and their friends welcome the police interviews. The friends are more than happy to co-operate fully, as are Kate and Gerry, although in this case Kate and Gerry will not be re-interviewed."

" This has not been requested but Kate and Gerry would have agreed to answer any questions had they police wished to put anything to them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There is a wholly innocent explanation for any material the police may or may not have found".

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This appears to be another disgusting attempt to make money out of their plight."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"An outcome similar to Holly and Jessica is possible. I don't want to, and I can't, talk about Robert Murat but some journalists who worked with me in Soham, and that were now in Portugal, saw resemblances between that case and Robert Murat. And I won't say more."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They don't cry in public, but plenty of tears are shed 'backstage'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not only extremely hurtful to Kate and Gerry but totally disrespectful to Madeleine.

The magazine had not sought permission to use Madeleine’s image and the McCanns’ lawyers were now studying the publication.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate and Gerry are realistic enough to know that Madeleine may be dead and it would be a tragedy that she is found as such, because it rules out the hope that she is alive... But any widening of the search area is encouraging and we would welcome that. If she is dead then she is dead, but not by their hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

No decision has been taken on Kate's future yet. She hasn't approached, or been approached by, any children's charities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is true that we have requested a meeting with the prime minister to show him the strength of our case, to explain Kate and Gerry's innocence and yet all we've been offered is a medium-level-consular meeting, which we rejected.
