Maddie's mum suspect

- The mother of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann was interviewed on her own by police on Thursday, a spokesman for the family said.

Kate McCann was dropped off in the Algarve town of Portimao by her husband Gerry and pushed her way through dozens of waiting reporters to enter the police station, accompanied by a relative.

The McCanns have previously attended regular informal meetings with police as a couple.

A source close to the family said Gerry McCann was expected to be interviewed by police on Friday.

"Kate is going in without her husband to answer questions regarding the case," the family spokesman said, adding that she was happy to cooperate with police in the investigation.

The renewed questioning comes after Portuguese police received partial results of forensic evidence analysed in Britain.

Madeleine vanished on May 3 from her bedroom in the Praia da Luz resort in the Algarve and the new evidence, which was found by sniffer dogs in the holiday apartment, could shed more light on the case.

"I can confirm that we have received part of the results and the team is satisfied (with the results)," said Portuguese police spokesman Olegario de Sousa.

The evidence was sent to the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham last month. Newspapers reported it included a sample of a speck of blood found on the wall of the McCanns’ holiday apartment.

A Briton living in Praia da Luz has been identified by police as the only suspect in the investigation and his house has been searched twice...........

I could never have left my kids asleep in a room on their own whilst i went out to enjoy myself around the corner,but that is only my way.I know the parents have been criticised,but i for one thought that this is where their guilt ended.
I hope to God that she is in no way involved in Maddie's disappearance

to business like for me , way too efficent , i mean who writes a blog when their little daughter is missing and your wife has just become a suspect in her disappearance?

They even have a campaign manager and a publicist, i dunno , call my cynical but things like that would be the last thing on my mind .

i agree with ya Woody, if it was my daughter, i would still be curled in a ball on the floor not wanting to move or speak to anyone.............no emotion neither in either of the parents was there? weird

I said the parents were dodgy ages ago. Whether they were involved or not, both should be sent down.

Oh... And my mates a psychology student... This is a little WACCOE-stylish I know, but, him, his university professor and most of his fellow students think they reacted strangely to the circumstances, and almost none of them believe anything they say

I just look at the way she is dressed, not a hair out of place , maybe is some kind of scam to publish a book about it later on, i dunno , but one thing i do know , if she is found guilty , me thinks she wont ever be able to live in the Uk again:-)

Well, his professor has spent 50 years studying human behaviour, and has said from day one they're involved. The bloke is in a far better position than I am to make that kind of judgement, so I have to believe him ... I did think it was dodgy from day one anyway, as you all know

The detectives who grilled Kate McCann for 16 hours are said to have offered her a deal if she confessed to killing Madeleine.

They allegedly promised her a "lenient" two-year jail term if she revealed what she had done with the four-year-old's body.

Sister-in-law Philomena McCann said last night: "Basically the police have accused Kate of murdering her daughter.

"They are suggesting that Kate has in some way accidentally killed Madeleine, then kept her body, then got rid of it. "They tried to get her to confess by offering her a deal through her lawyer.

They said 'If you say you killed Madeleine by accident and then hid her and disposed of the body, then we can guarantee you a two-year jail sentence or even less'."

The alleged offer came as police yesterday made Kate an "arguida" - a formal suspect. She is said to have told them: "How dare you! How dare you use emotional blackmail to try to get me to confess."

Detectives accuse her of accidentally killing Madeleine in the McCanns' holiday flat in Praia da Luz. They believe she desperately tried to cover it up by initially hiding the body, then later moving it by car.

The theory is apparently based on traces of Madeleine's blood allegedly found in the boot of a Renault Scenic car hired three weeks after she went missing on May 3.

Philomena said police had also suggested a sniffer dog detected the scent of a corpse on Kate's clothes and in the car boot.

She added: "For some unknown reason there's something about a sniffer dog sniffing Kate. Suddenly a dog can talk and says it smelled a death."

Philomena said the inquiry now seemed to centre on Kate rather than husband Gerry. She added: "All the allegations appear to be about Kate. From what we hear, the evidence they seem to be producing focuses on her. Gerry's not the main suspect."

Detectives directly accused Kate, 39, of killing Madeleine as they questioned her for 11 hours on Thursday and for five more yesterday at their HQ in Portimao.

The mum, who also has twin two-year-olds, repeatedly denied having anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance.

Kate left the police station at 3.30pm yesterday after the gruelling sessions. She was not charged but must appear before a judge within 24 hours.

Police began interviewing Gerry, 39, half an hour after finishing with Kate.

He was still being questioned last night in a session that was expected to go on for some hours. A senior investigation source said Gerry, a cardiologist, was likely to also become a formal suspect. The source added: "Just because police questioned Kate first and over two days does not mean she is their only or even their main target."

Before going in to the police station, Gerry said: "The suggestion Kate is involved in Madeleine's disappearance is ludicrous."

A large crowd of locals jeered and booed Kate as she arrived at the police station for her second questioning session yesterday morning. But one British voice yelled: "We believe you, Kate."

Relatives claim Kate is being set up to take the fall for Madeleine's death.

Philomena said: "As far as I can see all they're trying to do is fit Kate and Gerry up now because they haven't found this perpetrator, who's wandering around free."

Madeleine's blood was allegedly found in tests carried out by Birmingham's Forensic Science Service on samples taken from the car boot. But many of the McCanns' outraged relatives say the crucial evidence must have been planted.

The couple are said to be on the point of pleading that British police or another outside agency be allowed to undertake a review of the entire case.

One friend said: "They want an independent inquiry to look at everything. Other agencies such as the FBI have much more experience in this field than the Portuguese police.

"The forensics done on the night Madeleine disappeared were extremely slapdash. The man who came out only had gloves to protect him from contaminating the scene. He didn't even wear a face mask.

"He took Kate and Gerry's fingerprints that night but they were done so badly they had to be redone the following day."

Another family friend said Kate gave her twins a huge hug when she finally got back after her ordeal with the police.

The friend added: "Kate is devastated by the thought Madeleine could be dead, let alone that she is suspected of having something to do with her death. Madeleine was an IVF baby and a very wanted child."

Friends who were on holiday with the McCanns when Madeleine vanished are expected to be interviewed again next week.

Kate, a locum GP, and Gerry, 39, have scrapped plans to return home to Rothley, Leics, on Sunday.

Will she take the deal Yes/No ??? I know alot will depend on if she is guilty or not lol , but you know what I mean.

IMHO it was always fishy, i had said so to woody in a convo we had at the beginning their reactions to having a daughter missing just werent natural, they were strange, the shame in it is that its taken 4 months for them to figure out something dodgy, im not a police officer or a detective but i saw it from the early days for gods sake.

i agree Rach , they showed many clips of them last night , and not once have they shown any emotions , she even had to correct herself when she said " i love her her" she said "sorry , we love her" .

The first images of JonBenet Ramsey that were broadcast to the world showed a pretty little girl in heavy make-up and flamboyant costumes parading across a stage. At the time, the media described her as "a painted baby, a sexualized toddler beauty queen."

chapter continues

From the day in 1996 when JonBenet was found dead in the basement of her home in Boulder, Colorado, the Boulder police and a large proportion of the world's media believed that her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, were responsible for her death.

Prior to the murder of their daughter, John and Patsy Ramsey's life seemed almost ideal. Patsy, a former beauty queen, was married to a successful businessman. They had moved to Boulder where John ran a computer company that he had started in his garage, in 1991. The Ramseys readily adapted to their new life in Colorado and made many new friends. They built a large house in an elite suburb, and entertained often. Their last party in Boulder, just three days before the murder, was particularly happy. Over a hundred guests were present at a Christmas function. The Ramseys believed that they had good reason to celebrate. Patsy had warded off a recurrance of ovarian cancer and John had been voted Boulder's "businessman of the year."

According to the Ramseys' testimony, they drove home the few blocks from a party at a friend's house on Christmas night. JonBenet had fallen asleep in the car so they carried her up the stairs to her room and put her to bed at 9:30 p.m. Shortly after, Patsy and John went to bed, as they planned to get up early to prepare for a trip to their holiday home on Lake Michigan.

The next day, Patsy woke just after 5:00 a.m. and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. On the staircase, she found a two-and-a-half page note that said that JonBenet had been kidnapped by a "small foreign faction" and was being held for a ransom of $118,000. She was to be exchanged for the money the next day. The letter warned that if the money was not delivered, the child would be executed. Patsy yelled to John as she ran back up the stairs and opened the door to JonBenet's room. Finding she wasn't there, they made the decision to phone the police. The 911 dispatcher recorded Patsy's call at 5:25 a.m. The police arrived at the house seven minutes later.

The uniformed police officers that attended were openly suspicious from The Start. The Ramseys, treating the ransom demand seriously, were already taking steps to raise the ransom money. The note said that the kidnappers would call John Ramsey but no call came.

Two very similar stories???
