Yes, it is official — Kate McCann is now a suspect in the disappearance of her daughter, and news reports are saying that Gerry McCann will likely be named one as well — though that has yet to happen.
The reports are suggesting that the Portuguese police believe that the McCanns, more specifically Kate, accidentally killed their daughter and disposed of her body. They say that they have found blood evidence in the car rented by the McCanns 25 days after Maddie disappeared.
Read moreDo I question my original position on believing the McCanns? Absolutely not.
I have not seen one thing that has lead me to question the McCanns. To be guilty of killing their daughter intentionally or accidentally, you would expect to see hints of “fear” — fear that they are going to get caught in one of the biggest (self-) hyped lies in history.
Furthermore, they would have to be constantly on their feet to “think and talk” like a victim instead of a perpetrator. I see none of this.
More than that — if you accidentally or intentionally killed your daughter — are you really going to incite a worldwide media frenzy to focus on your every move? It’s ridiculous. Most liars want to avoid their lies — not be forced to talk about them day in and day out with cameras tracking their every move.
I do see many questionable things from the Portuguese police, however; delayed interviews, delayed forensics, and a lack of anything substantial.
The Portuguese police are accusing the McCanns of transporting a dead Maddie in their car — rented 25 days after her disappearance. If this truly happened, don’t you think someone would have seen something? After all, the McCanns every move has been watched since May 3rd.
Furthermore, if the McCanns had a body to hide, would they really create a media whirlwind? It defies logic.
Consider, however, the Portuguese police. They have the pressure of the world mounting on the shoulders. Are they smart enough, savvy enough — and professional enough to solve a missing person case? Each day that goes by where they are unable to generate credible leads makes them look bad. It makes them look unprofessional and unskilled. It tarnishes their reputation.
Consider as well that the McCanns are in Portugal still four months later. The constant barrage of media reports — on the missing girl — around the globe is painful to the economy of this nation. Tourism suffers, the image of Portugal suffers as do business owners. The McCanns presence is only negative to the people of Portugal. People who are economically strained by this impact are also likely to put immense pressure on the police — and officials to wrap this intense focus up and quickly.
You have to wonder if the mounting pressure on the Portugese police is causing them to jump to conclusions, don’t you?
Where do I see the most questions? When I look at the Portuguese police, not the McCanns.
