All 3 kids shared a toothbrush (apparently)

Scan
Was this the same smell of death on kates chefs trousers that she never washed, cuddle cat that she did wash or the scenic boot that they took a strange trip to huelva sinking sands place in spain.

The research, published in journal PLOS ONE, found 37 per cent of parents and step-parents who killed their children were suffering from some form of mental illness and 12% had been in contact with mental health services within a year of the offence.

Other key findings from the research were that 23% of female perpetrators were teenagers at the time of the child victim’s birth

Overall, fathers were significantly more likely to kill their children than mothers, and were more likely to use violent methods of killing, have previous convictions for violent offences, perpetrate multiple killings, and have a history of substance misuse or dependence. Of the 297 total filicide cases recorded during the 10 year period, the study found 13% of perpetrators took their own life after killing their child;known as filicide-suicide.

None of them apply

Shrewd dude.

Someone cleaned every trace of a young girls DNA away that had been living in that apartment.

This is a fact NOBODY can argue with.

I'd argue it. Have you made that up or where did you get it from?

In 2014-15, according to a report by Action Against Abduction, there were 1,141 cases, including 618 non-parental abduction attempts across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, according to Action Against Abduction

It is likely that Gerry had to return to Rothley to collect the pillowcase so the Pj could have an uncontaminated piece of DNA. It is possible of course that toothbrushes could have been mixed up.  There is no evidence in the PJ files that the apartment was cleaned from top to bottom.

"Statistics alone show abductions are incredibly rare. And with absolutely no evidence whatsoever that she was abducted (aside of course from a missing girl); statistically she is far more likely to have met her fate within the confides of the apartment. "

The stuff that I've found suggest that assertion is bollox.  The opposite seems true

That one about the y dead bodies made me laugh too scan. Did she work one or was it two days a week as a locum gp.

SH u think it was intentional or an accident?

here is the article published in a national newspaper - again

A ferrari engine makes a deep, distinctive sound.

When the children at Portugal's most famous orphanage heard the sports car roaring down the driveway, fear swept through the dormitories.

The noise could mean only one thing: the man known as The Doctor was coming to call.

Yet this medical practitioner had no intention of adhering to the ancient Hippocratic Oath.

Madeleine McCann in hat

Instead, arriving at Casa Pia (House of the Pious), a 17th century Lisbon orphanage where more than 4,000 children are cared for each year behind high stone walls, the doctor would summon selected boys and girls from their beds for examinations one night each week.

Where possible, he chose deaf-mutes.

After checking that the children were not suffering from any sexual infections, the doctor was joined by the orphanage caretaker, known as Bibi, who ushered the unfortunate children outside to a waiting van.

With the doctor following in his red Ferrari, Bibi drove the van to the prestigious homes of some of the leading members of Lisbon society - ranging from Portuguese government ministers and high-ranking diplomats, to famous television stars and members of the judiciary.



There, the children were repeatedly sexually abused. Some were allegedly drugged to make them compliant; others were plied with alcohol.

This continued for years. Assaults were filmed; pictures of one attack were subsequently found at the home of a suspected paedophile in Paris.

According to medical records, the victims' injuries were horrific - and consistent with serious sexual assault and rape. In witness statements, many were able to describe in minute detail the homes where they were taken and identifying marks on the bodies of their abusers.

The existence of this so-called "magic circle" of the Portuguese establishment, allegedly involved in an international paedophile ring using boys and girls from Casa Pia, was last week likened to an earthquake waiting to shake Portugal to its foundations.

New allegations about the scale of the network will be put before the country's highest court within the next few weeks.

Amid rumours of links to other paedophile gangs across Europe and the U.S., international experts on child sex crimes and murders are expected to be in court when the case re-opens, four years after a group of victims broke a silence lasting more than 30 years.

But what relevance does this have to the disappearance 170 days ago of four-year-old Madeleine McCann in Praia da Luz, about 280km from Lisbon?

And what does it mean for Kate and Gerry McCann, who have not only had to cope with losing their child, but have also been subjects of a vicious campaign in the Portuguese press to smear them?

It is crucial for two reasons; first because it proves what international crime agencies have long suspected: that Portugal has become a magnet for predatory paedophiles from around the world, using the country's lax laws and preying on the high numbers of poor, abandoned children.

And second, because Paulo Rebelo, an urbane, methodical detective who led the Casa Pia paedophile inquiry, was last night finishing his first week as the new chief of the investigation into the disappearance of the British child.

Rebelo has replaced Goncalo Amaral, the "oafish" local police chief out of his depth in a case that has captured unprecedented world attention, with millions fascinated by the story of the girl snatched from her bed on holiday while her parents ate with friends 200 yards away.

The article about Kate coming into contact with dead bodies came out after Eddie and Keela foun DNa. This was first reported by Kates' mother. Funnily enough she took Cuddle cat to work with her.

There was none of Madeleine's DNA in the apartment , the police had to get it from her home in England .

So how can that be.

Either she was never in the apartment or someone cleaned it very thoroughly after she was gone.

That's nonsense Tobe. There was no DNA they could find that they knew for a fact was Madelienes.  It's not like watching CSI. it doesn't just glow in the dark with the name Maddie on it. To rule out any of her DNA being in that apartment is impossible. You can't see cellular DNA. This is simply a naivety in terms of DNA. They got DNA from her home in  England as a reference sample beause they knew it would contain her DNA and had no chance of being cross contaminated by being a reference sample from a 'crime scene'.

A week ago I knew nothing at all about this case other than it was all over the media and the child is still missing.  The more I increase my knowledge about the case, the more I think they are innocent. 

The only evidence I can see that casts doubt is the sniffer dogs and the bin/landfill theory which makes it feasible.  There is an awful lot of cobblers around from those that think they are guilty.

Shrewd

They got dna from her home in the UK because there was non in the apartment. If it was there they would have used it.it would have been good enough. Someone a couple of weeks ago got convicted of rape after 20 years after a scuffle outside his home. His dna was taken and on a cold case review his dna matched.

How do you know there wasn't any in the apartment? No they wouldn't have used it. Again how would they know it was Madelienes DNA? As i've said it doesn't light up saying "hi, I'm Mad's DNA'. So they would have to take it from a source they are sure is hers e.g a source away from a crime scene.Particularly if it's a reference sample.

Why did the McCanns take a photo of Maddies pyjamas yet seemingly hardly any of the holiday?

Doesn't make much sense does it?

There wasn't any because they got it from the UK.there was still none in the apartment when they got her dna from the UK because it was cross matched obviously with all dna from the apartment and there was none there apart from the partial DNA match from the blood found under the tile behind the sofa.

If you can post a source then please do. At the moment it sounds like you have no idea how DNA works and are just saying there was no DNA because they got the reference sample from the UK. As I've said it doesn't just glow in the dark and say Maddie so why wouldn't you get the DNA reference sample from the UK???
