“They are suggesting that Kate has in some way accidentally killed Madeleine, then kept her body, then got rid of it,” Philomena McCann, Gerry’s sibling, informed Sky News in action to the statement. “I have never heard anything so utterly ludicrous in my entire life.” The couple’s spokesperson Justine McGuinness called the polices’ claims that Madeleine’s blood was discovered in the boot of the rental cars and truck “ludicrous.” And the really concept that Kate was in some way associated with her child’s death was “clearly ridiculous,” she stated.
As she remembered in her book, Kate was provided a two-year prison sentence if she’d admit that she had actually concealed or otherwise gotten rid of her child’s body—far much better than being charged with murder, the cops informed her.
“Most people find it hard to comprehend how innocent people can confess to crimes they haven’t committed,” Kate composed. “Gerry and I don’t. Not now.”
But they were notified the next day that they were complimentary to leave the nation—and they chose to do so instantly.
On Sept. 9, 4 months after they’d touched down in Praia da Luz for a spring vacation as a household of 5, the McCanns went back to England with their twins. Despite what the Portuguese cops (who would formally clear them as suspects the following July), the tabloids and all their critics were stating, they preserved their hope that Madeleine lived.
Or at the minimum that they would get the answer.
The 3rd and last part of this series will be released June 19.
