Wasnt that long ago when Holiday camps would have people patrolling the Chalets listening for children crying. They would then radio the places of entertainment and inform them. The chalet number would then go on a board informing people Baby crying in chalet 77 or 81 etc. Thousands used to do it. I am sure a lot of people on here had family and relatives do the same.

So you like that theory Rico? So you do think they killed their daughter?
because she was an anaesthetist she sedated her 3 year old child and it dies

What f*cking planet are these people on.

OK so now they've got to get rid of the body and back at the restaurant in less than 2 hours.
And all this in a busy holiday resort and in daylight.

Rico's old theory was that she died 3 days previous.That's what he preached for over 10 years.
There are numerous threads over the years and Rico is all over them all like a rash with this theory.


That is until the questions begin and his MO is replies like

JML/saddo

columbo and kojak


and do some research.

JMl..take some advice..dont get into a discussion about something ewe obv have little knowledge of..


Any pathetic reply to avoid answering the questions.


But now he's trying to change the timeline on the other side.

His new theory is that they didn't actually go to the tapas that evening and everyone on neighboring tables and all the staff
joined in with the Mccanns 5 friends to say that they were there.

It seems that nothing is too far fetched for Rico and his sick obsession.

She died In the apartment is an absolute certainty.

The cause is less clear. Most likely imo an accident due to sedatives (Kate was an anaesthetist) then hidden and buried to avoid autopsy and discovery of sedatives which would have destroyed their careers etc.

More sinister theories is that their was physical abuse and even sexual abuse (see Gaspar statements)

May she rest in peace.

That doesn't even begin to explain how they did it and how they managed to dispose of the body
in the available time.

She died In the apartment is an absolute certainty.

The police have a different theory.What do you know that they don't?

Explain how they managed to transport the body to the vehicle in daylight without being seen.
Then how did they manage to dispose of the body so well,again in daylight that it has never been found.
Report ASonOfWottonBassett May 22, 2026 12:14 AM BST
The chief of police hypothesis was that she died In the apartment. That was the clear line of investigation by the Portuguese until the British got involved and derailed that (Gerry is very well connected)

The time and date of death is unknown. She likely died on one of the previous days, then hidden or stored temporarily before being properly disposed of at a later later date.

The cadaver alert in the couples rented car a key piece of evidence for that theory.

It's a fact they were coming and going unmonitored after the initial intense focus of the first few hour and days.

now 90% of the public know she wasnt abducted and have turned on them becos most have read the facts.
why are the Establishment protecting them? of course we dont know this.
i told the forum not long after it happened that a friend of mine who's an MI6 operative told me all about the case when he returned from Portugal a few weeks after she went awol..he was the person who interviewed Pamela Fenn who lived above apartment 5A..i knew before the public knew...

If Kate was sedating her, Saddo, and she did it as a living, surely she’d know how much to give her safely? If she did OD her then the next step is huge. You’d phone police/ambulance would be the obvious option. Burying your daughter to hide the fact you’d accidentally killed her wouldn’t be something many people were capable of. Burying her well enough not to be found in twenty years, with some extensive searches thrown in, makes it unlikely imo.

Reading other posts,  it sounds like the Tapas Seven need to be complicit in the cover-op. Top ranking police complicit too, plus the government. All because Gerry has ‘connections’. Surely he’s not that well connected that a quick phone call home could send officers abroad to derail the Portuguese investigation?

I’ve no idea what happened. Professional parents burying their child to avoid prosecution seems a big leap to me.

What I find strange, is the people on this thread and elsewhere, calling her 'maddie', her name was Madeline, shortening her name like that as if you knew her personally is weird and tells me you've invested way too much time caring about this case.

The fact that the apartment was on the ground floor on the periphery of the hotel complex makes it a possibility that it was someone who broke in and had a quick getaway.

But I've no idea, as no body has ever been found, which means everything else is just circumstantial, even the two dogs barking to detect blood and cadavers,  there was never any DNA matches in the quantities needed to link to Madeleine. It was a rented apartment, people came and went all the time, every week, month and year.

Gerry seems like an odd guy which hasn't helped himself, but what also emerged after that case, was just how common place pa£do groups are over there and how many kids go missing.

If it was accidental death and they covered it up, what are the chances of managing to hide her dead body in an area you are not familiar with with no acres of woods around to bury her unseen, and nobody ever managing to find her. Makes no sense.

The human brain always wants closure, and pinning it on the parents as they have nothing else to go on, is just the easy and most satisfying thing to do.

Evidence of the direct involvement of MI5, MI6 and other branches of government security services in the Madeleine McCann case

This is an attempt to put together a short summary of what is known about the direct involvement of MI5, MI6 and other branches of government security services in the Madeleine McCann case. It is made following press reports this week [NOTE - this was in 2016] about Goncalo Amaral’s recent references to the continuing involvement of MI5 in the Madeleine McCann case. It is not meant to be comprehensive, it is just at this stage a series of notes about the involvement of the British security services in the case. I hope others will add to them.     

It does not cover other forms of government assistance to the McCanns which we know includes:


    The heavy early involvement of the British ambassador and consul in Portugal

    The appointment of Clarence Mitchell, then head of the government’s 40-strong Media Monitoring Unit, to manage the reputation of the McCanns and control publicity on the case from the first month right up until today

    The involvement of the former Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) in seeking photographs direct from the public and then, through Jim Gamble, actively assisting the McCann campaign on several occasions

    Intervention with the Border Agency, allowing the McCanns to avoid going through customs control

    The personal intervention of Gordon Brown in the case, first as Chancellor of the Exchequer and then as Prime Minister, in seeking to influence the Portuguese authorities to (a) treat the McCanns as genuine victiuns of an abduction and (b) to dismiss Goncalo Amaral, which the Portuguese authorities did do on 2 October

    Meetings by successive Home Secretaries with the McCanns

    Directing the Metropolitan Police to set up Operation Grange.
