Madeleine: Our daughter's disappearance and the continuing search for her

Product Information

We had one particularly bad experience with a man named Kevin Halligen (or Richard, as we knew him). Halligen was the CEO of a private-investigation foirm calld Oakley International which was hired by Madeleine's Fund for six months from the end of March 2008..." A press release issued by the ECHR said: “Even assuming that the applicants’ reputation had been damaged, this was not on account of the argument put forward by the book’s author but rather as a result of the suspicions expressed against them, which had led to their being placed under investigation in the course of the criminal investigation (the prosecutor’s office decided to take no further action in July 2008) and had led to intense media attention and much controversy. She then refers to three 'phases' of the Halligen investigation, saying only that during the third phase, "...we began to have concerns". Lo voy a resumir en que yo sí creo que los McCann no tuvieron nada que ver; solo son culpables de haberla dejado sola en un lugar desconocido, que no es poco. Me cuesta entender su decisión, y la de sus amigos, de dejar a sus hijos en un apartamento a solas con las puertas sin cerrar, pero bueno, creo que tanto Gerry como Kate tienen toda la vida para flagelarse por ello. Bastante tiene con lo que tienen, la verdad.

Friedrich Fülscher, said his client, who has not been charged, was exercising his right to silence. “We know the contents of the files and I think the charges are all based on very, very shaky foundations,” Fülscher told the BBC. Whilst this subject has undergone some very controversial opinions, after reading this book I have my own. The book in general highlighted, perhaps in slightly more detail, areas that have largely been covered by the press. Therefore, I have only given it a rating of three, however due to the pain that Kate McCann in particular must have gone through to bring herself to write it (and knowingly facing more criticism) maybe I should give it more.WHERE'S ESTELLE? Diggers search woods for ‘French Madeleine McCann’ 18 years after girl, 9, snatched by virgin-obsessed Ogre of Ardennes I asked Gerry apprehensively if he'd had any really horrible thoughts or visions of Madeleine. He nodded. Haltingly, I told him about the awful pictures that scrolled through my head of her body, her perfect little genitals torn apart". I am sorry but I felt the need to read this book because I had a wariness about The McCanns, especially Kate. This book does not ease all of those. It's awful to think of the poor child whatever happened to her the poor poor girl.

As part of this new mindset, it is other people who have let them down, “the very people who ought to be acting in Madeleine’ best interests”. Not a peep about their own negligent behaviour during their holiday which lead to this outcome. Instead (to this day) they keep taking legal action against almost anyone who dares to disagree with their version of events even if their version – and that of their friends – is riddled with inconsistencies. In 2007, Madeleine disappeared from her parents’ holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, in Portugal’s Algarve, triggering a huge missing person investigation. During questioning, Gerry and Kate McCann were named as formal suspects or “ arguidos”. Kate blames almost everyone for Madeleine’s disappearance, but barely a word of self-reproach about their parental negligence. A good few chapters in there is mention of it but once again in answer to the rebukes rather than any guilt over their parenting skills.

Retailers:

I found this book both compelling and tragic. It is written by Kate, Maddie's Mom, from her (Kate's) point of view and it is told well enough that I can picture things as they happened. It is sad that Kate felt she had to write this book, I suppose, in some way to help clear her and Gerry's names. There really is no excuse. Can't believe the number of morons supporting these parents. They may not have sold their kid, or drugged her, or been directly responsible for her disappearance, but they left their toddlers alone; And just the response itself - they refused to cooperate, sued detectives who actually wanted to get to the bottom of this case (their ties to Clement Freud, for one, which have been swept under the rug by the MSM coverage of these cases), and seem like absolute narcissists, overall. The fact that they aren't being prosecuted just shows how privileged these people are, just by virtue of being doctors - if they had been normal, working or middle class people, they would have both been prosecuted and charged. I would have had the twins tested for drugs, given what Kate said about the night Maddie went missing and how the twins slept through all the commotion. It is my opinion that, if Maddie was targeted and taken from the apartment, then the creche where all the children went will hold the answers. I think someone who worked there or who had access to it could have drugged all three children with the intention of taking one of them later in the evening, knowing their parents would be out. It fits because Kate said how that night the children were too tired to do the usual play in the park after creche and had fallen asleep before their normal bed time. There is no mention whatsoever of any attempt by wither the McCanns or by the Find Madeleine Fund to sue Halligen for his obviously fraudulent conduct. Dr Kate: “Maternal guilt often weighed heavily on my shoulders…I was so engulfed by Madeleine that I worried I might not have enough love left over for Sean and Amelie. Something else to beat myself up about”.
