From day one I've thought they either knew or were involved in some way with this. If they did do it, this will go down as the most fascinating criminal case in history, and quite possibly the first multimedia new age crime.
I hope I'm wrong but the The McCanns tick all the right boxes for being criminally insane in my book, the ability to show no grief, the cold calm calculated way they have dealt with and used the media/celebrity and the religious undertones (sorry but I have no time for it) ring the alarm bells.
My take on it is that it was possibly an accident somehow and they were either not willing to take the blame or they trusted their faith in god would somehow get them through it and redeem them (why else go and meet The Pope?).
I think whats even more scary is the British media and public reaction to whole thing, more than 1000 childrem have been kidnapped and put into child labour in China this year, hear about that? No? Why? because most people don't give a shit. Blue eyed middle class children need only apply apparently.
Of course they may be entirely innocent and I will apologise for being wrong, but I won't apologise for having an opinion.

Edam generally does not have holes in it at all, it is a solid cheese. You may find an occasional accidental hole caused by an air pocket when the cheese is being made, but on the whole, there are no holes.
Perhaps you were referring to Swiss cheese, which is renowned for its numerous holes ? Or were you saying that, in fact, their story had no holes in it ?

Well played. I just went along to wikipedia and their page didn't mention holes. Additionally, their picture was of hole-less Edam.
It's just not normal though, is it? (Edam with holes that is, not my use of Wikipedia)

Can I just say that Edam is the only cheese that is made backwards.

Surely those holes arnt DELIBERATE, DKM. Its not within the design of the cheese, its just a side effect of what is probably a poor quality slice of Edam.

But it is like the holes in the story - they are not deliberately there - in fact there should be no holes - but they have appeared. So you see - it was the right cheese. Where Emmental is designed to have holes.

Well, when you put it THAT way, Edam was indeed the perfect descriptive cheese in this case. Well done readingstockport.

Having lived in the Netherlands for 18 years, I can say with authority that ALL Edam is poor quality.
The trip to see the Pope was the oddest thing. At the time it screamed out to me 'we are guilty ', or at least 'one of us is guilty' . How could a Jury convict someone who is obviously so religious..? They were protesting their good character too much...
That was my suspicious thought, right or wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

My Girlfriend met Jerry McCann in Leicester, he was showing her how ro use a perfusion machine, that would have been just before their departure to portugual.
She said he was a really nice bloke, so obviously he didn't do it!
She, on the other hand looks well sinister, she reminds me of something not quite alive, sort of like a robot, soulless.
Therefore she did it.
Actually, they both did it. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

In all honesty the Portugese police have made such a lash up of the whole investigation i'm not sure we'll ever find out who is guilty of abduction/murder unless they actually confess to it.

Agreed. Its very bland, hardly tastes of anything. I do quite like Babybels, but I think thats more to do with the fun of peeling them rather than the enjoyment from eating them.
Perhaps their story could be like extra mature Cathedral cheddar - on first impressions it seems solid enough, but when you cut into it, it becomes rather crumbly and hard to make into proper slices.

To reply to a few things at once.
DKM. Perhaps I am just suspicious personality but as I said I have doubted the official 'story' from day one.
Simster. Ok accepted to an extent but I suppose there have been harsh words used by boths sides of the discussion, both on here and on other boards I frequent where this has been discussed.
And yes, I didn't mean Edam. I meant more holes than a holey pice of cheese that has holes in it.

Correct. Although when I'm pissed I often find myself fancying a bit of it.
So another similarity with the worlds FAVOURITE murdering milf.

I think the case is like Blue Cheese. It divides opinions - and a lot of people are suspicious of it. And there is a slight whiff.
But if you HAD killed your daughter, either deliberately or in some dreadful cheese-related accident (I haven't read the whole thread so I'm not sure where the Edam fits in) wouldn't you want the whole thing swept under the carpet as quickly as possible?
"I'm sorry Mr and Mrs McCann, there's no clue as to what happened to Madeline."
"Right-o, well you did your best. Thanks a lot, we're off home now."
Would you really make sure the whole thing stayed on the front pages for months? Odd game of double-bluff.
