Madeleine: Our daughter's disappearance and the continuing search for her

Product Information

The second half of the book details the lead up to Madeleine's disappearance and the horrifying abduction itself. The final part of the book outlines the police investigation, media frenzy and the unthinkable mental and emotional torture that Kate and Gerry McCann have endured ever since. Kate opens up about her feelings during this time and how she coped with the constant onslaught of accusations of guilt that were fired at her and Gerry during the investigation. Two top UK Dogs who alerted to blood and cadaver odour in McCanns’ apartment and hire car had never been wrong in 200 previous outings.

As none of us know for sure what happened to Madeleine, don't expect any great revelations in this book. It's also quite dated given that it was published five years after Madeleine vanished, she has now (as of 2019) sadly been missing for 12 years.

The arguido status was eventually lifted in 2008 when police submitted their final report. It has been more than 16 years of agony for heartbroken parents Kate and Gerry McCann. Their beloved daughter Madeleine vanished from their holiday apartment in Pria Da Luz on May 3, 2007, and has been missing ever since.

Respecto al libro: pues es desgarrador, claro. A mí me interesaba más la parte emocional de Kate y su evolución desde las primeras semanas hasta el paso de los años, y el libro lo refleja, si bien también hay muchísimos datos de encuentros con abogados, periodistas, policías, investigadores, ONG que sinceramente he leído un poco en diagonal al final. Pero cuando Kate se abre en canal es cuando el libro cobra sentido, para mí. La primera vez que soñó con Madeleine es un fragmento muy triste, que te sobrecoge. It is hard to describe how utterly despairing it was to be named arguidos and subsequently portrayed in the media as suspects in our own daughter’s abduction,” Kate McCann said previously. She added it had been “equally devastating to witness the detrimental effect” it had on the search for her daughter.

Her utter belief would be almost compelling if not for the many ambiguities and half-truths as well as cadaver dogs and DNA. Yet, based on this book, she is intransigent in her belief that Madeleine is alive and everyone is not doing enough to find her. (This may have changed at the current time – February 2017 - though.) The first part of the book is Kate's story of growing up, getting her medical degree and her single life, followed by when she met and married Gerry, the birth of their three children and the lead up to the ill-fated holiday in Portugal. This part of her story is relevant to the events that would ultimately unfold and gives the reader an insight into the person that Kate is and her unconditional love for her family.Friedrich Fülscher, said his client, who has not been charged, was exercising his right to silence. “We know the contents of the files and I think the charges are all based on very, very shaky foundations,” Fülscher told the BBC. As part of this new mindset, it is other people who have let them down, “the very people who ought to be acting in Madeleine’ best interests”. Not a peep about their own negligent behaviour during their holiday which lead to this outcome. Perhaps the most extraordinary fact to be revealed is that the man in charge of the investigation was himself investigated for brutality towards a suspect in custody, and was subsequently tried for and convicted of perjury. His aim was to get an innocent person to confess to an inconveniently unsolved crime, a truly remarkable coincidence in anyone's book. The finger points strongly towards this officer as the person likely to have been illegally leaking material to the press throughout the investigation, and indeed of stealing material from it to write his own deeply dishonest book. The whole book just comes off as a plea from Kate to not think she was a bad person. Well she was. Any parent who leaves their child alone for a meal is not a fit parent, but to do this every single night you're on holiday? It's wrong and a crime. And the sad thing is, if this had happened to someone who was less fortunate that Kate and Gerry in the finance department, they would have been charged or arrested for child neglect. Oh the joys of the middle class getting better treatment.
