I Know The McCanns Didn’t Do It

From Rachel Oldfield’s statement regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann:

“Anyone with an ounce of common sense really would be able to see that they couldn’t have done it. I was there and I know that they didn’t do it.”

Do ‘what’, exactly, Rachel? Arrange for their child to be taken away? Kill their child? Fail to resuscitate their child following a fatal accident? Hide the corpse of their child? Instigate the most audacious hoax and scam this world has ever seen? All of the above? Come on, don’t be so vague! Tell us PRECISELY what they “couldn’t” have done, and HOW you can be so sure! Spell it out for all of us who have so much less “common sense” than you do, you who left your sick baby alone in a dark room.

Just as a reminder, this is a woman, a “mother”, who also made the following statement, for which I have NO WORDS. Here she is talking about her tiny, poorly BABY DAUGHTER, 19 months old, although you’d be forgiven for thinking she’s referring to a scrawny stinky flea-infested stray puppy they’d picked up off the street:

“She, yeah because erm, we didn’t, we don’t really like sleeping in the same room as her but there wasn’t really nowhere else to put her cos you know, obviously she was going to bed at seven thirty and then we’d have had to kind of hide in the bathroom or something for the rest of the night, so we put, yeah she slept in our room as well erm”…..

“Yeah. So basically we’d go and have dinner and then we’d sort of run back you know every fifteen twenty minutes and have a listen at the door and make sure nobody’s screaming their head off”….

“Erm well we’d go into the room, which ordinarily we wouldn’t do to be honest, erm but she seemed to have diarrhoea and kind of, I mean she’d settled quite well actually cos she’d been tired every evening, erm but every morning when she woke up, she had diarrhoea and it had gone right through her grow bag and so there’s all this sort of horrendous smell, so in the evenings when we were checking, we’d go into the room just to see if you know, there was any sort of smell yet, erm and just to make sure she was alright, to make sure she hadn’t been sick, partly I think cos Matt had been sick, just wanted to make sure she hadn’t been, in case it was some sort of bug…”

Un-bloody-believable. Literally.
