The Hardest Christmas Imaginable

Kate and Gerry McCann released a video plea for the return of Maddie yesterday. Have you seen it?

Read more In the beginning of the video, you may notice Kate and Gerry McCann are taking deep breaths. It shows they are nervous. That is indisputable. But the question is what are they nervous about?

Some might say it is because they are lying. I disagree simply because I don’t see any other indications of deception. Furthermore, I would have expected to see nerves like this in earlier interviews with the McCanns when they were in the media spotlight on a daily basis and when the heat was the hottest–when they were named suspects, but I did not.

This is the most nervous I have seen the McCanns.

I suspect the McCanns are nervous because they are pleading to the person or persons who have been involved in the abduction of Maddie for her safe return.

If you decided to make a video message, and talk to someone who you truly believe might hold they key to your daughter’s safe return, wouldn’t it make you exceptionally nervous as well?

I believe it would. It would make your heart pound because you’d know how serious it is. Say or do the wrong thing, and the implications could be horrible. Yet if you do or say nothing, you may forever regret not speaking out.

Imagine the McCanns nerves when making this video.

Watch how the McCanns look at the camera, and how they show genuine emotions when they plea to the person who may have been involved, or is involved in the disappearance of Madeleine. You can feel they are talking to someone beyond the camera. You can feel they have a vision of someone. It is in sharp contrast to the behavior that Drew Peterson expressed when he talked to Stacy a few weeks back during his interview with Matt Lauer.

May 2008 bring Madeleine home to her parents, safe and sound.
