Debunking a "McCann Urban Myth"

Let’s look, attentively, at what I call the BIGGEST "McCann Urban Myth" AKA “The Neglected Crying Maddie”, or as is known: the “Mummy, why didn't you come when we were crying last night?” episode.

Although Maddie is, unfortunately, dead, we still can obtain information from other characters from this silly charade: Mrs Fenn and Mr. and Mrs McCann. Let’s start with a Mrs Fenn, on Aug 20th, 2007:

"She also refers to the day of the 1st May 2007, when she was at home alone, at approximately 22.30 she heard a child cry, and that due the tone of the crying seemed to be a young child and not a baby of two years of age or younger.

Apart from the crying that continued for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes, and which got louder and more expressive, the child shouted ?Daddy, Daddy?, the witness had no doubt that the noise came from the floor below.

 At about 23.45, an hour and fifteen minutes after the crying began, she heard the parents arrive, she did not see them, but she heard the patio doors open, she was quite worried as the crying had gone on for more than an hour and had gradually got worse."

Continue with Mr. McCann on May 4th, 2007:

"Between the 28th April, the day they arrived and the time the disappearance was discovered, he says that nothing unusual happened, only referring to an episode on the morning of the 3rd May, when Madeleine asked the witness the reason why they had not gone to her room when the twins were crying. As he did not hear anything, the witness did not go to the bedroom, however he finds his daughter’s comment to be strange, maybe because it was the first time that she had made it."

And end, in terms of PJ statements, with Mrs. McCann also on May 4th, 2007:

"Between the day of the arrival, April 28th, and the time that Madeleine's disappearance was discovered, the interviewee says that she noticed nothing unusual. She reports only one episode where, on the morning of Thursday May 3rd, Madeleine asked the interviewee why she had not come to look in the bedroom when the twins were crying. The interviewee states that she had heard nothing and had therefore not gone into the bedroom. She thought her daughter's comment strange because it was the first time she had talked about it."

What the McCanns say, as we’ll see contradict TOTALLY what Mrs Fenn had to say. A procedure, now known to us, as the McCann habit of getting you to lie for them, and once they have what they want from you, leave you high and dry and on your own. The Sun, that reliable source of information, on April 19th, 2008, corroborate, almost, the couple’s wording:

"LITTLE Madeleine McCann asked why Kate and Gerry had not gone to comfort her as she cried the night before she vanished, according to reports. The four-year-old is said to have asked why mum Kate, 39, had left her and her twin siblings, Sean and Amelie, to sob alone in their room the previous night.

The Spanish TV station Telecinco made the claim as it broadcast translated copies of documents it said were the McCanns' police statements. Crime reporter Nacho Abad, read out in Spanish an excerpt of the statement he said Kate had given Portuguese police.

He said: "While we were having breakfast, Maddie said, 'Mummy, why didn't you come when we were crying last night?' "Gerry and I spoke for a couple of minutes and agreed to keep a closer watch over the children."

The only contradiction between what the paper says and what the parent’s had to say is that while both state that Maddie “rats” on her siblings, the newspaper has Maddie confessing being part of the “Crying gang”. Relevant? No. But relevant is what both, Mr and Mrs. McCann do have to say, or to more precise... how they say it:

When one says

“Between the 28th April, the day they arrived and the time the disappearance was discovered, he says that nothing unusual happened”

the other goes and says

“Between the day of the arrival, April 28th, and the time that Madeleine's disappearance was discovered, the interviewee says that she noticed nothing unusual.”

When one says

“only referring to an episode on the morning of the 3rd May”

the other goes and says

“She reports only one episode where, on the morning of Thursday May 3rd”

When one says

“when Madeleine asked the witness the reason why they had not gone to her room when the twins were crying”

the other goes and says

“Madeleine asked the interviewee why she had not come to look in the bedroom when the twins were crying.”

When one says

“As he did not hear anything, the witness did not go to the bedroom”

the other goes and says

“The interviewee states that she had heard nothing and had therefore not gone into the bedroom”

When one says

“however he finds his daughter’s comment to be strange, maybe because it was the first time that she had made it”

the other goes and says

“She thought her daughter's comment strange because it was the first time she had talked about it.”

When one says

“the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain”

the other goes and says

“in Spain, the rain stays mainly in the plain”.

No, just joking, obviously they didn’t say THAT last bit… It's from my Fair Lady, as we all know, otherwise it would be TOO MUCH of a coincidence wouldn’t it? Completely preposterous, even to the point of being ludicrous.

But much more relevant than what or how they say what they do say, is what they don’t say, but that is for later.

For now, we can now confirm that it’s a Mr. Nacho Abad, a CRIME REPORTER, that says that Kate stated that Maddie said “Mummy, why didn't you come when we were crying last night?”.

There’s no other proof that Maddie did effectively say what is said she said, but that somebody, if nobody else, Mr. Abad, said she said, that is a fact.

When Mr Abad, the reporter, reports, in theory, Mrs Fenn’s statements to the PJ are unknown to this mother, described by the reporter as distraught, when says what she's said to have said, as the PJ files would only be released three and a half months later.

So this is, apparently, a volunteered self-condemning statement that can only be justified by a guilt-ridden conscience, and this can only be commendable.

But is it logic? No, unless she warranted public pardon or if she wanted people to think that she was a neglectful b*tch.

If it was to pursue public pardon, it could only be to somehow compensate what WE may even forgive but that SHE’ll never be able to forget.

Oh, poor cursed wench. “Mummy, why didn't you come when we were crying last night?” is unquestionably a touching, sentimental and even heart-wrenching question.

Those skeptical about the grammar capability of a four year old child can only be evil, for this woman is emptying selflessly her soul, and they are being needlessly picky and judgmental.

If the woman says the child said what she said it was because she did say what she said.

However what the woman, Kate McCann, doesn’t say is why the said child, Maddie McCann, doesn't ask any question of the same nature (and with the same eloquence of the night before) to the same said woman, Kate McCann, on the night she cried, but only on the next day.

You see, from Mrs Fenn’s statement, we are told that the parents arrive while she was crying, or just finishing crying, probably their arrival was the very same reason she stopped, so, when these caring parents, picked certainly this sobbing, terrified, child into their arms and comforted her, wouldn’t THEN be opportune moment for her to ask “Mummy, why didn't you come when we cried tonight?”, or the expectable “Mummy, I’m scared, where were you?” instead of waiting for the next day’s breakfast to satisfy her curiosity?

But as I said, this report offers little credibility, and proves absolutely nothing but the intent of the said newspaper to mislead. But that we already know and has been said too many a time.

Let’s stick to the PJ Files. Can it be that the McCanns are proving, by their statements on the May 4th. that Mrs Fenn would later lie, on Aug 20th? But why?

Well, first there is the date mix-up. One says it was May 1st, better known as the “Najoua Night”, while the other two say it was the night before the night of May 3rd, which makes it May 2nd.

Mrs Fenn contradicted the first time.

And then there is the fact that Mrs Fenn hears the child crying from 22:30, for 1 hour and fifteen minutes, that makes it until 23.45, the exact time she hears the parents arriving, but the parents say, quite clearly, that they didn’t hear anything.

We’ve that had to, sometime or another, handle an hysterical toddler late at night, desperately looking for that on/off switch that we all know that they don’t come equipped with, know that for a fact that the yelling does NOT suddenly subside. Not even when they cry themselves to sleep. There’s the reduction of volume and intensity until it goes down to a slobbering sobbing, and then, only then, there’s that golden silence, if one is lucky and does not get a repeat session.

And that is with a cranky child, not a terrified, lonely one as Maddie is supposed to be one then.

So when Mrs Fenn links the parents’ arrival with having stopped hearing the child crying, she can only be maliciously lying, for as per the couple's written words, the apartment was peaceful and silent.

Mrs Fenn, that’s twice.

Lastly, Mrs Fenn, according with the McCanns, lies with as many teeth as she has in her mouth, when she says she hears ONE child crying, when the parents are quite clear that Maddie points the finger to the twins. (later Gerry would say it was her and a twin, which, anyway you count it, it makes two children).

Could she be mistaken? You be the judge, as in her own words “seemed to be a young child and not a baby of two years of age or younger”, so that rules the twins out… leaving only… Maddie.

Mrs Fenn, that’s thrice.

Mrs Fenn, you evil, evil woman, according to the McCanns, that is.

At this point, and this is what is beautiful is that I have on one side, the Black Hats, who would love to jump on the opportunity for seeing me slandering Mrs Fenn's testimony, but, knowing me, are wondering why on earth am I doing it, saying that she is a liar.

Does that mean that I’m recognizing that the McCanns are telling the truth, and that the “Mummy, why didn't you come when we were crying last night?” episode was just something blown completely out of proportion by the White Hats?

And then I have the White Hats, that know me as well, and are thinking, that up to now we all White Hats have believed that Mrs Fenn had no reason to say nothing but the truth, so the fact that she contradicts the McCanns, not only is natural, but is expected, as they are the ones that are always lying… yet you’ve heard me already say that not one word Mrs Fenn has said is to be believed, so are the McCanns telling the truth here?

No, both Mrs Fenn and the McCanns are lying. You've got used to whatever you read against the McCanns to be true, and what you read in their support to be a lie.

As I said, I don’t believe one word that Mrs Fenn says. She’s nothing but clutter to reinforce the idea of neglect, to implant in your brain that the McCanns were negligent, drunkard slops... and they weren’t and aren’t.

Why don’t I believe Mrs Fenn?

Well, for starters, getting the May date wrong is quite telling, and then, would you, withholding such pertinent information, go to the police after 109 days had gone by?

When that same police had been RIGHT on your doorstep on the night it happened and on the immediate days that followed it? Didn’t Mrs Fenn think it important to speak then?

Ok, so what made you change your mind more than 100 days afterwards? But on Mrs Fenn, Headlines Today says it all much better than I do.

Now, is her statement to be discarded completely? Of course not. Below all those layers of lies, from her and the couple, lies a layer of very significant truth, from what she and the couple DON'T say, or have forgotten the implications of what they say... Can you see it?
