Bedtime Stories (with thanks to information from Mccann files) Some interesting reading material was found by Gerrys bedside table by the Portuguese Police - namely The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfield. Not a book you would normally think to read if your daughter had gone missing but the book contained some rather apt quotes in relation to having a bearing on this particular case. Intepretation of Murder: I cannot be expected to solve a murder if the evidence is trampled and tampered with before I arrive. Archiving Report When the GNR officers arrived on location, several people had already touched the window and entered Madeleines and her siblings bedroom, and later on, when the PJ arrived at the apartment to collect traces, the space had already been rummaged through and contaminated due to the entrance of all of those people and to the fact that everything had been touched, thus rendering inviable, right away, the collection of important elements for the investigation. The Intepretation of Murder: In this heat, he explained, decomposition would rapidly set in if the corpse was not refrigerated at once Correio da Manha Interview with Goncalo Amaral 24 July 2008 Due to the type of fluid, we policemen, experts, say that the cadaver was frozen or preserved in the cold and when placed into the car boot, with the heat at that time [of the year], part of the ice melted. On a curb, for example, something fell from the trunks right side, above the wheel. It may be said that this is speculation, but its the only way to explain what happened there. Interpretation of Murder: Littlemore studied the bedroom. Miss Action, he said, how do you think the man got in here last night? Well, he must have - why, I dont know. It was Littlemore reflected, certainly a puzzle. There were only two doors to the Acton house, the front and the back... Could the intruder have climbed in through a window? Report of Tavares de Almeida Simple things became disinformation: the question of the opened or closed window; the shutter up or down; the balcony door opened the front door, locked or open. Interpretation of Murder: The announcement was pure invention, but it was believed, and therefore within three weeks it was so. Mr. Banwell had mastered the great truth that truth itself, like buildings, can be manufactured. Report of Tavares de Almeida From the declarations of the group results a total incoherence, in the face of which its obvious, that everyone lies.The Media enhancement given to the case and their search for information has contributed to an evolution on Madeleines parents declarations We now turn our attention to the other book that was found Every Second Counts: From Recovery to Victory by Lance Armstrong. Once again a few rather apt quotes from the book Lance Armstrong book: One wonders if it was this sense of omnipotence that convinced him he could fool all of the people, all of the time. Did he think he could control everything and everyone? Did he believe he could get away with it forever? Lance Armstrong book: Doubts about his innocent were there from his first Tour victory in 1999 and would persist from then on, .......As the achievements multiplied, so did the suspicions, hardening all the time through scattered scraps of information , telling details, whispered anecdotes On their own they didnt amount to much, but complied together they eventually had the makings of a file, an unofficial dossier of circumstantial evidence. Lance Armstrong book: Much of that evidence was unearthed by the journalists David Walsh and Pierre Ballester for their 2004 book L.A. Confidentiel: les Secrets de Lance Armstrong. in a pattern that would become familiar over the following years, Armstrong came down on them like a ton of bricks, deploying lawyers at great expense to sue for libel and threaten any interested publishers. The book was published in French; it wasnt released in English-speaking territories. Many similarities with the Mccann case with the various bits of information coming out, the book The Truth of the Lie, not released in UK and the pattern of deploying lawyers to sue for libel and threaten. Lance Armstrong book: But he survived the long inquisition. Year after year, race after race, he kept everyone at bay: the sceptics, the investigative reporters, the scientists in their laboratories. One of the greatest frauds perpetrated in the history of sport was going undetected, unproven, unsolved. There was an abiding sense that Armstrong, like some Wall Street Titan, was too rich, too famous, too powerful, to be caught. He was basically too big to fall. Whether in this case it may be more a question of the rich and powerful friends and associates who surround the Mccanns which is keeping this case going year after year than the Mccanns themselves but we have seen them aided by the Government and Secret Services, well known personalities and the Media behind them. The book tells us about a friend and former team mate who spoke out against him along with another old team mate. - These were eyewitness accounts from the inner circle. The brotherhood had finally broken ranks. The cocoon around Armstrong had been breached. Armstrong denied it all and a two year investigation ended without any criminal charges being brought against him. It was only after the United States Anti-Doping Agency took up the case that he was charged with others in engaging in a massive doping conspiracy for nine years. Again he mobilised his lawyers and waged a PR campaign against his accusers. However with more evidence gathered and more of his colleagues ready to testify against him he gave in and wouldnt contest the charges in a public court which was deemed as an admission of guilt. Even then he continued the denials proclaiming his innocence while evading the process that would have confirmed his guilt. Eventually he was banned for life from competing in the sport and despite of his years of denials it was only in 2013 he in part admitted his guilt to Oprah Winfrey. This case showed how over time loyalties and allegiances clearly changed with people who had previously kept quiet coming forward to speak out and we have to hope the same will happen in this case that in the end the right thing will be done by those who are protecting those who know what happened to Madeleine. Just to say we are sure any similarities with the two books are purely co-incidental! And lets not forget the CEOP manuals which were also found, books with access restricted to police and governmental entities. Now that certainly needs a bit of explaining. So some heavy reading for Gerry, but then he did say Im not here to enjoy myself!
