[quote="Yankee"]quote="rhodes03"]reports said they searched until after 4am. Then got up at first light----so what time did it get light------the way you lot are going on, you'd think they'd been to bed for 8 hours [/quote]
Rhodes your defense of these creatures is getting creepier and creepier....[/quote]
Birds of a feather flock together. Only a Team McCann family member could endlessly (and and in such mind-numbingly unoriginal fashion) repeat the same trite mantras over and over again.
I suppose that this is hemorRhodes way of convincing herself that she's right. Dreadfully boring for the rest of us, and decidedly and dangerously delusional--will she snap when the charges are brought?
If you thought your kid had been stolen then you - being someone who exists in 21st century Britain, where you can't stumble out of bed in the morning without reports of DNA evidence, CSI theories are taught in all the news, media and entertainment programs you'd know the first thing you need to do is:
(a) preserve the scene for evidence (b) get everyone you know to stumble through the appartment (c) Get your lippy on for the TV crew you're expecting.
The TV schedule is full of programs about crime detection. Even if you don't watch tv that much then as a medically trained person you can't get through med school without a little work on DNA, and how things need to be done to diagnose a problem and solve situations. GPs analyse the information you give them in that 5 minute appointment and make huge decisions based on their ability to deal with that information in a calm and rational way. GPs need to be able to cope with massively horrid situations, like those where you are giving out death sentences. Didn't Ms Mccann reckon she'd seen a lot of death in her job recently?
You can tell that pair weren't suffering from sleep deprivation. For one, they didn't look it. You'd expect a very wide eyed intense/bedraggled/strung out/hollow appearance. They also didn't behave like it. The fact they were playing tennis/jogging within days is also not conducive with a severely upset sleeping routine. Their composure in the first interview does not suggest these two people had entered a living nightmare where sleep is replaced with crying. The pathetic little whiney/whimpering sounds Kate made did not convince me this was a woman who had just gone into the deepest, darkest tunnel of tortured despair that would be the experience of any warm blooded, caring, human mother in such circumstances. It's more like watching a bad, BBC docu-drama. Very lame, contrived acting.

Possible motives for each of the courses of action.
(a) You want the police to discover the truth (b) You do NOT want the police to discover the truth (c) Your priority is to be a celebrity (b) and (c) You want to hide the truth and you think that you are so clever you can become a celebrity and make lots of money all at the same time.
All that I have managed to glean from this thread is that either, they slept because they didn't care, or, they didn't sleep because they felt guilty. This about sums up the case against them.

I just look at it this way - if you were writing the script for a film or drama about a genuine abduction, and you had the victim's parents going to bed just 5 or so hours later, it would be laughed out of town as being far too unrealistic, don't you think?
[quote="speechless"] WELL SAID. Their poor acting FOOLED some! [/quote]
It should be completely absurd to anyone with any imagination to speak of. Particularly to those who are parents themselves. Though Kate definately looked washed out - pale, gaunt and stressed - as one would expect her to look after a sleepless night the day she appeared for her interview at the police station.
The thought of them going to bed, hours after their child disappeared is turning my stomach.
It really is - I think it's time I took some time away from this. The Times article has done me in.... I couldn't believe it reading 'lucky not to be eating with their children', but now this.[/quote]
The troubling thing is that they are both intelligent enough to know that it would be best to put up a good show if they were guilty of a crime.... saying that they had stayed up all night and weeping buckets to gain public sympathy.
So why no show?
Maybe because they didn't feel that they needed to give one?

They slept fine.They got up very early on May 4 and went jogging . They jogged every day bar one - the day after they got the keys to the church. 3 days after they killed her Gerry played tennis for 2 hours in the morning.He played regularly after that though I havent got all the correct timings.
