Open Letter to CHARLOTTE and NAJOUA

By IRONSIDE

Dear CHARLOTTE and NAJOUA,

Although we do not know each other, I feel I know a little about you and your kindness.

How dreadful it must have been for you both to have witnessed such a tragedy. MADELEINE just three years old abducted from her bed. Both of you saw how devastated the McCANNS were. The shock and horror on their faces.

NAJOUA, you mention you only saw MADELEINE to wave hello and you CHARLOTTE were a nanny at the Creche. It must have been hard to find the right words to say to KATE. She also was finding it hard to say the right words to you, or anybody else.

What can you say to a mother in torment as you struggle to understand?
It is now almost three years, we are ALL older and wiser. OLDER, certainly.




CHARLOTTE I have read your witness statement. I have also read an interview you gave to the Daily Mail. I have to admit I am confused by a comment you gave. In the Mail you mention something that you did not mention in your statement.

CHARLOTTE you said you were one of the first in the apartment and the twins WERE NOT THERE.

You said they had already been taken out by one of the McCANN’s friends...

CHARLOTTE, much time has passed. Surely you NOW understand the significance of these words now, if they are true, don’t you?
I do realise the Daily Mail not known for its, shall we say 'Honest' reporting and they may well have twisted your words. But that is what they printed you having said:
“We knew that one of the other nanny's charges was called Maddie. We told the head of department what had happened and she took us straight to the apartment.
There were no children in the room. The twins had been taken out already, I think by one of the McCanns' friends.
When we were coming out we saw Kate and she was screaming: 'They've taken her. They've taken her!”


But it’s not about what was printed or not, but about what you might know.




NAJOUA, you are a stunning young woman with a figure any woman would envy, any man not forget and yet no one seems to remember you on the night Tuesday 1st May 2007.

I have also read your statement to PJ and believe you when you say you were invited by GERRY McCANN to sit at his table.

NAJOUA, it matters not to me, how many people and who was or was not at the table that night. But, it does matter very much WHERE “that” table was, whether you were invited to it or not...

The McCANNS had just lost a child to an evil man, you wanted, like all to help. Not cause the McCANNS any more pain. MADELEINE was kidnapped on Thursday, so what was the difference of where they actually had dinner on Tuesday? A detail with little or no importance to the effort of capturing the person that had taken MADELEINE.

Everyone wanted to help the McCANNS and do and SAY the right thing to ease their pain. They had lost a child and if they asked for certain things not to be mentioned because THAT would cause more problems. Unnecessary ones, so who would NOT agree to do all they can? MADELEINE was missing and that’s all that mattered, she must be found.

NAJOUA, by now you know that the couple you so kindly helped, phoned family and friends to tell them of a smashed and jemmied window. This, you now also now, was NOT TRUE, there was NO evidence of a break in.

I’m sure, that by now, you have asked yourself many times why would they lie?

And, I’m sure that you’ve asked yourself why they asked you to say to the Police that you were with them Tuesday night.

I now ask you both, CHARLOTTE and NAJOUA, to think and search your hearts for what is right. MADELEINE, what would have been her seventh birthday approaches. Seven candles on a cake waiting for the Birthday Girl to blow them out. The birthday girl that should be laughing and playing in the warm sunshine. A little girl tired after an exciting day, brushes her teeth and is ready for bed. She may well even say 'Mummy I have had the best day ever'


I ask you both as the warm and loving young ladies I know you to be, if there is something that now makes you uncomfortable with. Something you felt pressured, or convinced, to say, something that was not quite true.

No one wants to see any of you accused of anything, what we ask is for the case to be re opened and the PJ allowed to do their job.

I ask you both to only think of MADELEINE. She was ONLY three years old. LOOK into her eyes and if you feel uncomfortable with something you have said, no matter how small I beg you to speak out.

You had nothing to do with MADELEINE having disappeared, and yet you carry a burden. It’s time, I beg, to take that weight off your shoulders.

Details are so very important. A small detail twisted may have harmed the investigation and the search for MADELEINE.

Maybe one, or both, of you can help and UNTURN some of those stones GERRY McCANN talks so often about.

I know the authorities seem a little too permeable, and that that such an effort would not only be useless as would also seem bring back needless problems and haunting memories.

Either of you can, if you wish to do so, drop us a line in the comment box. Just highlight that it’s not for publication, and it will not be published. And that goes for anyone out there who feels they can help. We promise that we’ll direct that information to those we know to be trustworthy.

An open letter to Kate McCann from Esther Ranzten

Source: Daily Mail


Dear Kate,

Can it really be only three years since your little daughter Madeleine disappeared? It feels like a century ago when her three-year-old face first began to haunt us.

Her angelic expression and solemn eyes engraved themselves on to our hearts; they reached out to us from posters that went up everywhere, from airports to village shops.

Even now, the questions remain. Could she still be alive? Worst of all, is she the prisoner of some twisted individual? I know that must be your deepest fear - indeed it doesn't bear thinking about - although of course it must always be at the back of your mind.

Over the years we have shared your nightmares. In those early months, as news story followed news story, we pored over the events of that fatal evening she went missing. You must have relived those hours a million times, and so have we.

So I hope it doesn't sound too harsh to suggest that three years later, the world has moved on. Not because we have forgotten Maddie, nor because we have lost sympathy with you and your family, but because the pain we felt at the time has begun to numb and heal with time.
No doubt that's what motivated you to appear on GMTV yesterday. To remind us. To shake us into caring again. Clearly you are still in agony - perhaps, for you, time has even intensified it. As you and Gerry publicly accuse the police of 'giving up', it is obvious that your agony is caused not just by loss, but by not knowing if your darling girl is dead or alive, safe or suffering.

You are still tormented by the fact that nobody can answer your questions, because Maddie has not been found, and may never be found.

Let us for a moment face the tragic truth. Maddie may not be alive. How will you feel if one day her body is found? My guess - and it can only be a guess because no one can truly know how you feel - is that after the first terrible impact of shock and grief, you may even feel a small glimmer of relief that at least she is at peace.

That is not in any way to diminish your terrible loss. It is simply a human response to your current purgatory. No more guessing; no more false hopes cruelly disappointed. Perhaps the fact of knowing might bring with it the understanding that, at last, you might be able to move on with your lives.

For at the moment you are still stuck exactly where you have been for the past three years. As you say yourself: 'As a parent of an abducted child, I can tell you that it is the most painful and agonising experience you could ever imagine. My thoughts of the fear, confusion and loss of love and security that my precious daughter has had to endure are unbearable.'

So maybe if you knew the truth, no matter how tragic that truth is, you might find it easier to bear.

You are not alone. Parents who lose children have told me how important it is to have something, even a body, to centre their grief on. I remember interviewing Winnie Johnson, mother of Keith Bennett. Keith was one of Ian Brady's child victims, murdered and buried somewhere on the Lancashire moors, the only child victim whose body was never found.

Unlike you, Kate, Winnie has known for years that her child is dead. But like you, she is still tormented by not knowing where he is.

Keith's murder took place 46 years ago. Yet only a couple of months ago Winnie took a helicopter flight over Saddleworth Moor to search for her boy's body yet again. And to pray for him.

She said: 'I know these moors go on for ever, but I know one day we will find my Keith. I will never give up hope. I want him back. I will fight for ever more until I find him and I hope I will find him before I'm dead.'
Although Manchester police have called off their search for Keith's body, Winnie is appealing for £20,000 to pay for a special scanner powerful enough to find buried remains. After nearly half a century of uncertainty, she still yearns to find him, to be released from rage and pain, and be enabled to grieve.

Make no mistake, that need to mourn a lost child is one of the most powerful emotions a mother can feel.

I once made a television programme about still-born babies. At the time, it was the practice to try to pretend the babies had never existed. Fathers were told to go home and redecorate the nursery and give away the baby clothes. Hospitals buried the tiny bodies in unmarked graves.

There were no photographs taken, nothing to remind the parents of their loss. Annihilating every trace of the child was considered the kindest way to help a grieving mother cope. But it was terribly wrong. Bereaved parents told me that years later their grief was as fresh as ever; that they had constant dreams and flashbacks of the baby they had lost.

So now the practice has changed completely. Doctors and midwives encourage parents to create memorials, books and gardens for still-born babies.

Grief, mourning and a carefully created memorial can bring healing. Which brings me to another family in despair.

Seventeen years ago, when he was a toddler, James Bulger was brutally murdered by two children, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. That murder is engraved on our national memory and broke his mother Denise's heart.

For 15 of those years she has been unable to leave her home alone. I have visited her there, in the house that had become a shrine to James. All she had were constant reminders of his terrible death, not of his life. 'He was such a positive little boy,' she told me, 'I'd love him to have something positive to celebrate him with.'

So I suggested to her that we could create a special memorial to James, a project on Merseyside, her home town, to help children who have been badly bullied. Run by the Red Balloon charity, it could be called James Bulger House.

When Denise visited a Red Balloon project with me and saw their fantastic work in giving traumatised children their lives back, she leapt at the idea of a similar project in her son's name. 'I would love my children to have a positive memory of James,' she told me.

James Bulger House is about to open now; there are already children on its waiting list. And on what would have been James's 18th birthday, Denise took 18 red balloons to his graveside.

Why is this relevant to your own terrible heartache, Kate? Well, what I am suggesting is that you and Gerry need a similarly positive memorial to celebrate Maddie's life, too. Not because I am assuming she is dead, but because when we last met I saw how frail you are, and how unhappy. And no wonder.

I know that you and Gerry are constantly with parents of missing children who, like yourselves, are lost in the no man's land between grief and hope.

The work has inevitably immersed you in the hideous world of child pornography and sexual exploitation, because that is often the motive of those who abduct children. You say that now you know about 'the unbelievable existence of such a horrifying activity and its vastness in our socalled civilised and "child-loving" society', your eyes have been opened to a terrifying new world.

With that nightmare constantly before your eyes, no wonder you accuse the police of 'giving up' on Maddie. Let no one judge you harshly for keeping the flicker of hope alive in your hearts.

But alongside your campaign to tighten laws against child pornography, why not also create a Madeleine McCann charity - one that would not simply fund the search for your lost daughter, and others like her, but which would also help children in other distressing situations?

It could be medically based - perhaps as Gerry is a consultant cardiologist, it might work for children with heart disease. Or perhaps it could provide respite for families battling with disability - for example, the thousands of children who spend their exhausted lives helping to care for a disabled parent, day in day out.

These are only suggestions. You as a GP and Gerry as a consultant must already know many other ways in which you could give practical support to other children, in Maddie's name. And the happiness you create would surely give you both the strength to heal the past, and optimism to face the future.

In the meantime, be assured, we have not forgotten Maddie, or you. But we recognise, in your anger, that time has stood still for you.

And although we would not wish you to lose your commitment, we would also like to feel that you find comfort in the knowledge that Maddie's name will live on, and will contribute happiness to many other children's lives - wherever she is.

Wishing you happiness as ever,
Esther

8:42am UK, Thursday September 18, 2008

The wife of the Portuguese detective, sacked from the Madeleine McCann investigation, has launched an emotional attack on the missing girl's mother.

<!-- VIDEO PLAYER START -->

<!---->
Madeleine McCann

Scathing letter sent to Madeleine's mum

<!---->

It comes after Kate McCann branded Goncalo Amaral "a disgrace" in an interview with Portuguese newspaper Expresso.

Now Mr Amaral's wife Sofia has hit back in an open letter in another paper, Correio, addressing Mrs McCann as "my dear friend Mrs Kate".

Laden with sarcasm, Mrs Amaral begins: "You will forgive my boldness, but after I read your comment (in the Expresso interview) concerning Goncalo Amaral, my husband and the father of my daughters, I cannot avoid sending you these words of gratefulness."

She goes on: "As a coordinator of criminal investigation for the Polícia Judiciária, my husband has always refused to sit around from nine to five in the comfortable chair in his office, as his hierarchical status implies.

"Instead, he spent the day (and very often the night) with the investigators on the terrain, coordinating searches, surveillances, apprehensions and other diligences."

Kate McCann has criticised Amaral

But she says "this dedication" stopped Mr Amaral from being promoted because "he had no time to go to Lisbon to parade himself up and down the corridors of the PJ's Institute".

"A disgrace, madam, a disgrace!" she writes.

Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said: "She clearly feels her husband has been made a real victim. He really has been demonised.

"While some people may have a lot of sympathy for him and may have thought the press treatment here was unfair, he has in his book admitted that mistakes were made.

"Much of the criticism of his failed investigation appears to be justified."

The detective's wife refers in the letter to the case of Joana Cipriani, the young girl who vanished just seven miles from Praia da Luz, in a bid to demonstrate his good nature and dedication.

<!-- START: M001_Fact_Box - Variation 1 -->
<!---->
<!---->
<!-- END: M001_Fact_Box - Variation 1 -->

"Five years ago, a child named Joana 'disappeared'," she writes. "Her mother, just like you, Mrs Kate, tried to project the case into the media."

The girl's mother Leonor and her uncle Joao were jailed for her murder despite her body never being found.

Mrs Amaral says her husband shared a meal with the uncle at Olhao Prison the following Christmas "in memory of Joana".

She goes on: "You should also know that every year, on the 12th of September, my husband has a mass celebrated in memory of Joana Isabel Cipriani Guerreiro. He says that nobody will ever remember the poor little girl again.

"Right, but they remember to unjustly accuse him of actions and crimes that he never committed. Isn't this a disgrace, Mrs Kate?"

She goes on to describe the disruption endured by her family when Mr Amaral "left his own daughters to go looking for a child that he had never met and whose parents had neglected her".

Mrs Amaral adds: "It was a pity that my dear friend Mrs Kate was not around anymore at that date, because you could have been very helpful to me in explaining these 'obvious reasons' that led to their father's dismissal, to our daughters."

She ends the letter: "My dear friend Mrs Kate, without wishing to bother you any further, I would like to request one last favour from you: now that you have started to tell some truths, please continue, and let the world hear the truth that it has been waiting for."

"It's very unusual for the anonymous wife of a policeman to speak out in this way," says Brunt, "She clearly feels he has been very harshly treated.

"Some might feel the form of her attack on Kate McCann is very clever, it's dripping with sarcasm.

"She paints a picture of an over-worked, hard done-by detective that's very different to the image portrayed in the media."



SOS Madeleine McCann: Gonçalo Amaral's wife addresses an open letter to Kate McCann

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
In an interview with a Portuguese daily newspaper, often pointed out as being close to Me Rogério Alves, Kate McCann accused Gonçalo Amaral, former coordinator of the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, of disgraceful behaviour, "as a person and professionally."

If the ex-inspector, in his usual calm way, did not react, it was without reckoning with the temperament and strength of character of typical Portuguese women. Sofia Amaral, wife of the PJ former coordinator, addressed an open letter to Kate McCann in which, with a good dose of irony and sarcasm, she thanked Madeleine's mother for, "a feeling," they had in common. Today, Gonçalo Amaral's wife has been invited onto a television programme on TVI at around 12pm.
Here is the full text of the document:
Open letter to Mrs Healy, Kate.

-- Dear Madam,

Excuse my audacity, but after learning about your comment in your interview with the newspaper, Expresso, on the subject of Gonçalo Amaral, my husband and father of my daughters, I have to send you these words of thanks. For many years I have been trying to make myself understood with this feeling that unites you and I "....and his behaviour is a disgrace professionally and as a person"...

Consider this:

a) Professionally

-- As coordinator of criminal investigation for the PJ, my husband has always refused to sit comfortably behind his desk, from 9 to 5, which is usual for his rank.

Instead of that, he spent the day (and sometimes the night) on the ground with the investigators, coordinating "on the spot" searches, surveillance, seizures and other duties. What a disgrace! But if this was just about being exposed to the elements, things wouldn't be serious, because as madam Kate knows, the weather here is not bad. The problem is his commitment to the cause which has cost him promotion in his career. I will explain, because this case is contemporary to the search for your daughter. My husband was involved as senior coordinator, and between seizures of drugs, kidnappings and murders, he succeeded in producing a theory about drug trafficking by sea, which he defended before a jury in Lisbon, who congratulated him.

Full of hope, Gonçalo Amaral returned to the Algarve to await the result. It was with astonishment that he learned that he had been passed over by other colleagues (coordinators as it happens, to tell the truth), because he had not managed to get himself into "professonal training" settings. And yes, madam Kate, my husband spent his life working, in the midst of complex investigations. He was the man in Portugal who seized most drugs, but as he didn't have the time to parade himself in the corridors of the PJ's institution, he was not promoted. A disgrace, madam, a disgrace!

As you must know, because you seem very well informed to me, my husband's salary was barely 1.5 times the minimum wage of your country. However, as a wife, mother and Portuguese, I cannot complain, given that Gonçalo Amaral's salary was the equivalent of 4.5 times the minimum wage in Portugal. Pay attention to this, which serves as an example of what I am going to explain: at one time, an individual shot an officer of the PSP and fled into neighbouring Spain. Between the comings and goings of a PJ team, of which my husband was a part, they were there for more than 15 days.

At that time, international expenses were 100€. As madam Kate can imagine, it is not possible on that amount to eat and to lodge in Spain, still less when it is Christmas Eve, and this amount would only be available (with a bit of luck) by Easter. Even with that, Gonçalo Amaral never refused, not even for a day, to search for the evasive murderer, thus increasing our family budget. And this is only one example amongst many. I once suggested to him the creation of a fund, or something else for dealing with these extraordinary expenses, but he never listened to me. While we too had our mortgage to pay...A disgrace, Madam Kate, a disgrace!

b) Also as an individual, his behaviour is a disgrace, because it was never possible to distinguish or to have a private life with the way of working he chose. However, and if my dear friend Madam Kate will allow me, I can give some examples: Five years ago, a child called Joana "disappeared." The mother, just like Madam Kate, tried to project the case into the media, but this was as far as she got...After 8 days, came the confessions and the evidence: During an incestuous act between the mother and the uncle, the child was beaten, later cut into pieces and her body disposed of, no one knows where. The mother and the uncle were imprisoned, with the trial coordinated by Gonçalo Amaral, and bringing each of them nearly 20 years in prison. But going back a bit.

The child died on September 12th. On Christmas Eve, our family were together to begin our prayers, when my husband asked me to prepare a bag with food and warm clothes, because he had not yet carried out his Christmas act of contrition and penitence. Try to imagine, Madam Kate, where Gonçalo Amaral took himself that Christmas night when there was torrential rain and roaring thunder? To the Olhao prison establishment, where João Cipriano, Joana's uncle, was a prisoner; confessed murderer and clinically declared a psychopath. For my husband, giving alms to a beggar did not represent any sacrifice.

On the other hand, joining and sharing his Christmas meal with João Cipriano was the sacrifice he offered to God in memory of Joana. And isn't that a disgrace? Know this, Madam Kate, every year, on September 12th, my husband requests a mass for Joana Isabel Cipriano Guerreiro. He says that no one else will remember the poor child. But people remember to accuse him unjustly of acts and crimes which he has never committed. Isn't that a disgrace, Madam Kate?

I will relate one last story, which still costs me to talk about. This year, in May, we started the process of moving our family to Portimao. My husband's holiday was supposed to start the day after your daughter disappeared. "For obvious reasons," that didn't happen. I started a new job, I looked at houses, I made the move and I tried to settle our daughters into new schools with new routines.

All that alone, without any support from my husband, who, for obvious reasons, was looking for your daughter, Madam Kate. In October, on the day of his birthday, a week after our daughters had started the new school year, Gonçalo Amaral was dismissed and returned to Faro. It was supposed to be a time of the family getting together, but in fact it was even more of a separation. Isn't that a disgrace? Our daughters have never understood, and we have never succeeded in explaining to them what the obvious reasons were that justified a father leaving his daughters to look for a child he didn't know and whom the parents neglected. A disgrace that my dear friend Kate was not there at that time. Perhaps you could have helped us explain the "obvious reasons" to our children for their father's being sent back.

To finish, on the intimate subject of Gonçalo Amaral, I can only tell you that he is exactly as the Latinos have a reputation for: a wild one, and my modesty does not allow me to say any more.

I ask my dear friend to forgive these thoughts of a wife and mother, but I am sure you will understand. I will finish this missive by asking you to pass on to your mother my sincere compliments. She seemed very sincere to me when, during an interview, she said she had the urge to slap those who had left her grandchildren alone. She spoke as openly as a true Portuguese grandmother would have done.

My dear friend Madam Kate, without wishing to bother you any further, I would like you to do me a last favour: now that you are starting to let the truth come out, don't stop, go on, and tell the truth the world is waiting to hear.


With my best regards,

Sofia Leal

(Wife and mother of Gonçalo Amaral's children.)

Matthew….

I realise that sometimes memory can play tricks but recognising Thursday May 3rd as such an important day, I’m sure that a day or so later it would not have been difficult for you to remember the main details and there would be no reason for them to not be consistent with your other friends.

Therefore I ask you this….

Chivvying the Paynes

You claim to have gone to chivvy the Paynes just prior to 9.00pm May 3rd.

You claim to have passed the at the top of the road…

“May 10th -The deponent added that DP, FP and DW were still not present – and as he could see their apartment lights burning – he resolved to go to them, clarifying that he did not reach that apartment as those people were already on their way to the restaurant. He clarifies [further] that he met them near the living quarters, at the corner next to the main door of the McCann apartment.”

Fiona claims to have passed you outside 5A

David Payne claims to have passed you by the swimming pool

Dianne Webster was absolutely sure you weren’t there…

Until the Rogatory interviews when she says that David and Fiona reminded her…..

Who is lying?

Mens Social Tennis

You claim to have seen Kate and the children when you arrived and the other women and children joined them later.

“when they arrived at that meeting GM was already there, with KM and her children watching the match, the rest of the women and children joining them [KM and children] later.”

Kate tells us she didn’t go to the tennis courts. Madeleine was tired and Kate and Gerry carried Madeleine back to the apartment at 5.40 when you were still down at the beach.

You say you finished at 7.00pm and you, David and Russell went back to your apartments, but David did not make it back to the tennis courts until 6.45pm at the very earliest as before he started playing he stopped at Kates apartment nd saw the children including Madeleine.

Where was he? With you or at Kates apartment?

Are you lying or is David lying?

Thursday lunch

You claim to have gone to Paynes for lunch on Thursday.

Fiona says they had lunch alone and you had lunch with Rachael, Russell and Jane.

I would consider that easy to remember so who is lying?

Fiona or yourself?

If so, then why?

Checking the children

You claim to have left the table with Russell at 9.25, (justifying two of you checking 3 apartments). You walked up to the top of the road and went to your apartment next to the McCanns.

After checking you went to Russells apartment where his daughter was crying and had vomited. Russell decided to stay and look after his daughter so you walked through his apartment and left through the back way as this was the shortest route for you to check the McCanns children.

You went a short distance inside the apartment, saw the two cots, noticed more light in their room than in your daughters room next door and you then left.

You claim to have returned to the tapas restaurant at around 9.30pm within 5 minutes of the time you left.

I would question whether that was possible, considering it takes a couple of minutes to walk the distance to the front doors of the apartments, added to going into your apartment, closing and locking and then visiting Russell and walking through his apartment and through the back gate, up to the McCanns apartment, in through the sliding doors, back down and walking back to the restaurant.

I would guess it took a little longer than less than 5 minutes…Important to be precise as the timeline is important considering Madeleine apparently disappeared around that time.

It is more likely that you did not return until at least 9.35pm and told everyone that things were fine.

May I ask you…..Were you REALLY checking the children as you say?

Why did you tell Kate you would check on Madeleine?

Why not her ‘children’?

I believe that you went on that holiday with the belief that your children would be looked after properly while you shared time with your friends for the evening meal. I can understand that.

I feel there is no question that you love and care lot for your little girl.

I don’t believe that you would leave her alone in the apartment. I think you all had arrangements in place for the children to be watched.

You were apparently ‘ill’ on Sunday night, Rachael was apparently ‘ill’ on Wednesday night (there is also a question as to whether she was ‘ill’ on Tuesday night also).

Your apartment was right next door to Kate and Gerry’s and only 2 doors away from Russell and Jane’s apartment, so it would have made so much sense for you to share watching the children and, I believe you did!

How were you to know that something terrible would happen to Madeleine?

Did Gerry tell you straight away or did he wait until he he’d figured out what he was going to do, and then ask for your support leaving you no time to think straight or realise the repercussions.

I’m sure he made you feel confident that he knew what he was doing and to trust him. All you had to do was to avoid discussing the obvious and to just follow the plan.

That included ‘pretending’ that you were negligent and left your children alone, because, without all the group claiming the children were left alone, the simulated abduction would not have been credible. It was easier to make ‘generic’ checks and then no one person would be responsible or individually targeted.

I am sure you were shocked and devasted about what had happened and probably had many questions that maybe, to this day, remain unanswered.

Had this situation happened to you, it would have been handled differently and there must have been many hours of discussing this with Rachael (and maybe, Russell and Jane).

You followed the ‘procedure’, for that night, hoping that you were doing the right thing, but what option did you have?

I’m sure there was a lot of pressure to follow the plan as everyone else was, and goodness knows what would have happened had you ‘broken ranks’ and contacted the police, but you were probably assured that everything would be OK.

You had not done anything wrong and you, maybe, didn’t know all the details and it all happened so quickly……

I think it was you (or Russell) who did not want the media contacted. Gerry and Dave wanted to, so you probably had no choice in the matter.

You had no idea of the repercussions from your decision to ‘support’ Gerry and Kate.

You ‘trusted’ this man (even though you actually found him quite boring) but he abused your trust and because of his arrogance and subsequent greed your life has been devastated.

You didn’t deserve that. You made a mistake and you will ‘pay’ for it for the rest of your life.

If you could re-live those moments again, there would be no question you would have handled it differently.

You wonder whether its too late to make a difference….

You have tremendous pressure right now to remain quiet about everything that happened.

You are living with the knowledge and you, as well as Gerry and Kate and the others, are hoping that the information contained in the police files and the videos of the dogs finding cadaver scent on Kate’s clothes and behind their couch and in the car, are not going to make headlines in Britain.

You, of course, know that once they do, your life, and that of Rachael and your daughter will suffer the consequences of what those in the general public will discover about your part in the simulated abduction, but don’t forget what is most important to you……

Can your family and friends have the same respect for you ever again?

Can you imagine a life where you will never again be trusted and the hurt you will have imposed on all the innocent members of your family?

The information WILL become available, you know that…

You wish for it all to go away but you know it won’t….You have far worse to go through yet.

There are millions of people all over the world that care about Madeleine, many of them do not know the details revealed in the police report . Maybe YOU don’t either…..You can read it all here…

http://gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/PJ/TAVARES_AMELIA.htm

A report by Chief Inspector Tavares de Almeida to the Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation

Where he concludes, after analyzing all the evidence gathered, that the child is dead and the parents were responsible for cadaver occultation, and the entire GROUP was lying since the first day of the investigation.

There are thousands of people that have been privy to reading all the details of the police investigation.

Unlike Kate and Gerry, who used ‘public money’ to be able to read it, the files were translated freely by wonderful people that care enough about Madeleine to put their heart and soul into seeking the truth.

All of these people have put in millions of hours. They would have willingly helped Kate and Gerry in their search for Madeleine had they been asked, at no cost to anyone!

Unfortunately, Kate and Gerry didn’t ask anyone to help. Everyone knows why and so do you…

Matthew, am I underestimating you?

Is the support of Kate and Gerry worth more than your own self respect and the respect of your family?

I know you have the courage to do whats right.

Your family will be proud of you and people all over the world will one day, maybe, be able to forgive you for lying. You probably felt it was the right thing to do at the time and after that, you thought there was no turning back, but you can make a difference now….

It will not be easy and you will be taking a step that will place you in the line of fire from everyone that has been deceived up until now, but in the end you will have, at least, a little peace, knowing that regardless of a bad decision you made three years ago in Praia da Luz you will finally be able to hold your head up high.

If you can find it within your heart to free yourself of the pressure by doing what is right, and when the truth is made public, you will find that you have the support of thousands of members from forums dedicated to finding justice for little Maddie and more.

Only then can Madeleine be laid to Rest in Peace with the dignity and respect that she deserves.

Matthew….

Do it for yourself, do it for your family but most of all do it for precious little Madeleine…

She no longer has a voice and she needs you…..

Criminal Profiling Topic of the Day: Open Letter to Kate McCann

As a criminal profiler, I have also sometimes been criticized for theorizing about a case I have not personally been privy to the actual facts from inside the investigation. As I do a lot of television commentary, this is quite often the case for me; I only can theorize based on the “facts” outlined by the media. Therein lays the difference between public speculating and true criminal profiling as part of an investigative team. The latter is going to be one hell of a lot more accurate!

Still, all is just theory until the crime is solved. Everyone doing the analyzing and paying attention to this theory and that knows that any “determination” is only based upon the validity of input. The only harm theorizing can do is if the police detectives theorize incorrectly about the evidence or bring in an expert who theorizes incorrectly and bases the entirety of their investigation decisions on this particular theory. If, on the other hand, the theory is accurate, then the investigative avenues will be pursued correctly, or, if the theory is interesting but not necessarily correct, the police will pursue a number of investigative strategies to cover all bases.

Are the PJ doing this? I haven’t a clue. I cannot assume they are any way inferior to other police departments in the UK or in the US or elsewhere in the world. Each department consists of individuals and it is a roll of the dice as to how good these particular individuals are at investigative work. I remember when Natalee Holloway went missing in Aruba, folks from the fine state of Alabama accused the Aruban authorities or incompetence and shouted how if Natalee had gone missing in the United States the case would have been solved quickly. Bunk! We have an ungodly high rate of unsolved murders and missing people here in the US, a good number of them right in Alabama. Fact is, some cases are hard to solve and some cases have detectives who are all that bright. Other cases have better evidence or top notch detectives. It isn’t a perfect world.

So, what do we know so far in Maddie’s case? Not much. We have zero clue about the evidence or the veracity of the witnesses. All we really have so far are the unvarnished public statements by the McCanns and I don’t mean the ones reported by the media in print as those can be misstated by the journalists (and I know this because I often quite displeased when I read in print some completely twisted version of what I told the reporter).

So, all we can truly be sure of is what the McCann’s have stated on television or radio or in Gerry’s blog. Even their PR team’s information is a bit questionable if we can’t hear it being said.


Before I comment further, I want to reiterate that the McCanns, while suspects in the disappearance of Maddie, are not legally charged with any crime. Therefore, they may be totally innocent of hurting Maddie in any way. But, I will also say, we as adults and members of the human race are also responsible for the way we behave and the things we say, so we must also take responsibility for the way other view us.

Therefore, based only on what the McCann’s said or written. I have some advice for the McCanns. SHUT UP! I have some advice for their PR team. Tell the McCanns to SHUT UP!



OPEN LETTER TO KATE MCCANN

Yes, Kate,

It isn’t your breast size or weight that is causing your problems. It is you and your narcissist evaluation of the situation and your PR team’s equally stupid assessment of the situation that is making you look so bad in the public eye.

I am a criminal profiler with years of experience dealing with parents of murder victims and missing relatives. Your behavior and the behavior of your husband fall far outside or the norm for grieving parents. Now, this may be because you are just terribly narcisstic folks who had nothing to do with your child going missing (outside of neglecting your children and putting your needs to party before their needs for comfort and safety, a narcissistic behavior if I have ever seen one). You and Gerry may simply be so narcissistic you have no understanding of how other people view your behaviors and your PR team may share your narcissism so that no one on your team has a clue to normal human behavior.

But, SHUT UP! Every time you open your mouths you do more damage to yourselves. You seem guiltier by the day. Your attempt at “damage control” is so obvious and so very much a day late and a dollar short, everything you do or say seems a cover up and a transparent attempt at proving your innocence.

Let me make clear what I think is weird about what you say and do:

You choose words about Madeleine’s disappearance which make it appear you know there is no abductor and that Madeleine is dead.

Both you and Gerry state your only guilt in the matter is not being their when Madeleine “was taken.” This statement makes no sense for abduction as Madeleine could not be taken if either of you were with Maddie when an abductor would have shown up. It makes more sense in the context that Maddie died while you were not in the apartment.

Your statements and attitude about Madeleine being alive do not square with parents who really believe their daughter is in the hands of a pedophile or pedophiles who are brutally raping and torturing her daily.

Your attempts at “finding” Madeleine do not represent the manner most parents would choose if they were actively searching for a live child but appear more to be the actions of parents trying to prove after the fact of a child’s death that they “cared” (not care) about her.

Your behaviors of “keeping a normal routine” and “keeping up one’s appearance” is admirable, but extremely bizarre. I don’t know any other parents of missing children who can appear so together and cheery. When my daughter cooked our kittens by accident in the dryer, I cancelled Christmas.

Gerry’s blog creeps people out. It is too upbeat. Terrified and distraught parents of missing children are rarely able to jog and play tennis and go to park with their other kids and have a fun time. Over a long period of time, maybe, but this is usually years after the nightmare begins. Some parents never recover from the trauma and it is common for marriages to fail and the brothers and sisters to feel their parents went absent after their sibling went missing.

Your ability to sleep at night after the first five days, Kate, is beyond belief. It is the behavior of one who already knows the answer and even then, is quite a narcissistic trait. If you believed your daughter was being raped as you lay in bed at night, sleep would be very hard to come by. I guess you finally realize this and your mother is saying that NOW you can’t sleep and Madeleine comes to visit you in the night. What changed, Kate?

Your PR team coming up with an answer to every accusation, answers that are ludicrous in themselves, makes you seem awfully defensive, and, if there is no way you or Gerry had anything to do with Maddie’s disappearance, you have nothing to defend. Furthermore, if all you care about is finding Maddie, you shouldn’t be wasting your time on such silliness. After all, as Gerry said, Maddie is the only important thing, right?

So, SHUT UP, Kate. SHUT UP, GERRY. Fire your PR team as they are totally worthless. If both of you really are innocent and your think Maddie is alive, return to Portugal. Start searching for real (and it took six months to set up a hotline?). Cooperate with the police. Take the polygraphs as you have zero to hide and, with competent polygraph examiners, the questions are so simple you can’t screw them up. I will even give you the four questions that should be asked:


“Did Madeleine die while you were present?”
“Did you return to the apartment and find Madeleine dying or dead?”
“Did you move Madeleine’s body at any time?”
“Did your spouse move Madeleine’s body at any time?"

These are simple questions. The answer to all of them should be “No.” There is no ambiguity in these questions (unlike a question such as “Do you feel responsible for the disappearance of Madeleine?” which you could if you acknowledge leaving her without an adult caretaker is irresponsible; an affirmative answer to such a question would be useless to the detectives as it could falsely indicate that you had something to do with Maddie going missing when you are only feeling guilty over leaving her unattended. Also, an affirmative answer could mean you simply do not feel responsible for what happened to Maddie no matter what happened to her as a total narcissist might).

The above four questions are simple and unambiguous and even a narcissist can’t misconstrue the meaning of the questions. The answers will be a simple “Yes” or “No.” Have the polygraph session videotaped so the police will be unable to do any underhanded scare tactics or interrogation that might distort the results of the tests.

Quite frankly, Kate, you and Gerry had everything going for you as parents of a missing child if you hadn’t left your children unattended night after night to go out partying. THIS is what made people dislike you. It was to your advantage that you are both relatively attractive people because IF you had big breasts and a porky physique and were not well-heeled professionals, you would have become suspects right off the bat and you would have not had the incredible monetary support you have been blessed with nor all those kindly letters. You would have been viewed as just a pair of slobs who probably abused their children as well as neglected them and you wouldn’t have gotten the phenomenal amount of publicity worldwide concerning Maddie’s disappearance. Other parents have gone public, run campaigns, and had web sites, but your fortune with publicity and support has been unprecedented. And, you complain, Kate, that people are treating you badly because you are fit! It was being fit and professional and well-off that got you so much attention. It was you and Gerry’s fitness as parents and your peculiar behaviors that got you the negative attention.

I have a final suggestion. Ask the PJ if I can come analyze the case. My organization will send me pro bono. As a criminal profiler I can analyze the actual evidence to advise the investigators as to the best investigate strategy. I have no problem determining this crime as an abduction and finding the creep that took Madeleine if the evidence points that way. I don’t have to like you and Gerry as people to view the evidence in an impassionate and professional manner. No one should be convicted of a crime simply because of personality and because people don’t like the individual’s personality. Solid physical and circumstantial evidence must exist to the point where there is no question as to who committed the crime. I would work very diligently to assist the PJ with the evidence and the facts and do a thorough crime scene analysis that would move the case forward.

Furthermore, if you and Gerry get charged in Madeleine’s disappearance and must truly defend yourselves, my services are available to you and your lawyers. I will be more than happy to analyze the evidence and, if you are innocent, do all I can to serve in your defense.

Good luck, Kate. May the truth be brought to light soon and you and Gerry get the justice you deserve in the case of your missing daughter.

All the best,

Criminal Profiler Pat Brown

Criminal Profiling Topic of the Day: Did Kate McCann read my Letter to her ?


Kate McCann has a new book out, Madeleine, an incredible self-serving propaganda pieces which leads me to believe she must have read my letter (below from October 4, 2007). But, as can happen to people who may have a narcissistic personality disorder, they just don't know when to SHUT UP. For, in the book, Kate's explanations further lead me to doubt the McCann's claims of innocence in the disappearance of their daughter. One simple example is the most peculiar speculation of Kate that all her children may have been drugged by Madeleine's 'abductor' both the night she went missing and the previous night. First of all, Kate, this would serve no purpose to the 'abductor' except to waste time and it would be difficult to accomplish. You must know that, so the only rational reason you are claiming the children were drugged would be to explain away the fact that, indeed, they may have been drugged and that, indeed, the only ones likely to do this would be you and Gerry.

Any good lawyer will tell you to SHUT UP, but, no, you keep talking, Kate, and we thank you for it.

OPEN LETTER TO KATE MCCANN

Yes, Kate,

It isn’t your breast size or weight that is causing your problems. It is you and your narcissist evaluation of the situation and your PR team’s equally stupid assessment of the situation that is making you look so bad in the public eye.

The Trustees

Missing People Limited

284 Upper Richmond Road West,

London SW14 7JE
 

Dear Sirs

KATE MCCANN AS AMBASSADOR IS UNACCEPATBLE TO THE BRITISH PUBLIC

It is evident from many social networking groups, blogs and other internet sources that your charity, Missing People, has attracted an enormous amount of negative publicity within the past few days which will obviously be detrimental to your charity, the work that you do, and of course future funding.

We are not going to make any comments ourselves other than that we believe that you have made a huge mistake, an error of judgement, in appointing Kate McCann as ambassador.  We give our reasons below.

Despite favourable references in the media, there are millions, including a number of professionals such as criminal profilers, solicitors and other investigators that share the view of the Portuguese and British police, that Madeleine died in her parents’ apartment and that the McCanns with the help of their friends conspired to cover this up and conceal the cadaver. 

The case was archived due to political interference, interference from the McCanns and their PI’s who tried to move the case out of Portugal and into Morocco, and from the media, which as we know was effectively controlled by Clarence Mitchell, ex head of the Governments media monitoring unit.  In order to archive the case, all suspect status was lifted, this was not a declaration of innocence, and if the case were to be re-opened the suspect status of both Kate and Gerry McCann would be re-instated. The report that Kate and Gerry had been formally cleared is incorrect.

It is also known that the McCanns had a deal with the press whereby they would agree to pre-arranged photo shoots and offer exclusive stories. 

The McCanns choice of private investigators is also very suspect and although they had no experience of finding missing children, they were able to provide a number of stories for the media, e.g many sightings of Madeleine that turned out to be false.

Many believe that these sightings were engineered by the McCanns private investigators, Metodo 3

The detectives were also of very low credibility, Kevin Halligen now in prison for fraud, Antonio Jiminez for the theft of cocaine.  Metodo 3 were investigated for wire tapping and Arthur Cowley set up a bogus company, Alphaig which the McCanns spokesman and the press routinely referred to as Alpha Group Investigations, a company which does not exist but is similar in name to the established company Alpha Investigation Group. 

The evidence of Madeleine’s death includes that of the Cadaver dogs, the statements of  the doctors Gaspar, the interim report of Dr Almeida, numerous contradictions in the statements of the McCanns and their friends, and much more  evidence which is overwhelming and more than enough to realise that Policia Judiciari were right to suspect them.

There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Madeleine was abducted

When we consider that Rebekah Brooks at the Leveson inquiry was accused of perjury and it was suggested that payments were made to police officers, and stories were fabricated, put that together with the fact that it was Rebekah that demanded that David Cameron put pressure on the home secretary to order a review of the case, else she would put them on the front page of the news, every day, you can clearly see that this whole thing is nothing more than a scam, unfortunately one that you appear to have fallen for.

Whilst we are not suggesting that there are any problems with your charity or its trustees, we will point out that there is now widespread speculation as to whether you have any credibility at all.  Some even suggest that you receive funds purely in order to pay high salaries and that the missing people are not really missing at all, or that they are missing but you are not looking for them, in the same way that Kate McCann did not look for Madeleine.

We say this with the interest of your charity at heart, do you really want to be tarred with the same brush as Kate McCann?

From what is written above you can clearly see why you have angered so many members of the public, and bearing in mind that a charity must meet the public interest test, you really need to do something about this to correct the error that is detrimental to the future of your charity.



We are going nowhere and the campaign will continue until we get justice for this little girl, we will not tolerate the prime suspect in the case being made an ambassador to a missing peoples charity when she failed to search for her very own 3 year old daughter late on a cold night just because it was too dark, and neglected 3 toddlers for 5 nights in a row just for the sake of partying with her mates.

We therefore respectfully suggest that:

You remove any reference to the late Madeleine McCann from your missing people website and at least let the child rest, give her back her dignity.

Relieve Kate McCann of her role as ambassador

Remove any references to Kate McCann from your website

Under no circumstances involve Kate McCann in any of the charities activities

Should you fail to meet our requirements, and we are the public, we will take this further and get an investigation into your charity.

Regards

The Campaigners for truth and justice for Madeleine McCann

JON GAUNT - Open letter to McCanns
Posted:
Fri May 30, 2008 12:25 pm
 
Dear Kate and Gerry

LIKE YOU I am a parent. I have two beautiful girls who I adore and I can say hand on heart, just like every Sun reader, that not only would I do time for them but I would lay down my life for them.

No doubt you feel the same about your three. Therefore, as a dad, i can't understand your reluctance to return to Portugal.

You should never have left Madeleine and the twins home alone even for one night, let alone virtually every night of your holiday.

Of course your neglect that evening did not mean you deserved to lose your beautiful daughter, and I have enormous sympathy for your loss.

However you messed up. You should return and face the consequences of that action. You should also take part in the reconstruction and do everything in your power, as you promised the British public when you asked us to donate money to find Madeleine.

Yes, it will be difficult for you and, yes, the Portuguese police may have not handled the investigation well. But the longer you stay in Britain, I am afraid the more fuel you will give to the people who believe you have something to hide.

You are not detectives, you are doctors, but when leading experts like the man who caught Jamie Bulger's killers, retired Detective Superintendent Albert Kirby, say you should take part in a reconstruction you should heed their advice.

For the record I cannot believe that you had anything to do with the disappearance of Maddie. However you must be aware there are plenty of people who are of that opinion.

The only way to defeat these people is to return and help in any way possible to catch the person or persons responsible for your daughters disappearance.

All the best,

Jon
