«Breaking News» Friend of Kate McCann slams retired police chief

A family friend to Kate McCann has slammed claims made by a top superintendent that the story around her disappearance raises 'red flags'.

In a podcast by 9 News, retired superintendent Peter MacLeod cast doubt on the logistics of an abductor theory and said it would have been 'difficult' for a kidnapper to have entered the Praia da Luz apartment as three-year-old Madeleine slept.

However a friend of the family refuted the 'spurious allegations' and the suggestion that Madeleine's parents, from Rothley, Leicestershire, had anything to do with her kidnapping. 

The former police chief's comments came during any interview with Australian journalist Mark Saunokonoko.   

A family friend to Kate and Gerry McCann has slammed claims made by top superintendent Peter MacLeod 

The former police officer said it would have been 'difficult' for a kidnapper to have entered the Praia da Luz apartment in a podcast titled 'Maddie'

During the podcast, titled Maddie, the retired police chief said: 'The window is only an absolutely maximum 50cm wide, in reality 46 wide, and it's already a metre off the ground.

'I had a look at that and my shoulders are wider than that little window. So although you could climb in sideways you certainly can't jump in if you are a normal sized person.

'I frankly do not think it's possible. It would be difficult enough to get yourself in. You'd have to grab hold of windows, grab hold of things.

'Then you've got to pick up a child without waking it up without waking the other two children. I do not think it can be done, or let me put it another way, I do not see how anyone could do it.' 

Madeleine McCann was taken from her Praia da Luz, Portugal, apartment in May of 2007

The toddler had been sleeping in the apartment with her siblings as her parents dined in a nearby tapas bar

The police officer's claims will form part of a podcast that draws from experts in the field and those who were directly involved in the case in 2007. 

However a friend to the McCann family told the Sun Online: 'Spurious allegations discussing what might have and might not have happened that night have been made umpteen times.

'Anybody can do a podcast, it doesn’t mean it’s right, and one spouting off about what they did and subsequently said is something quite frankly they will ignore. What would he know?' 

Following their daughter's disappearance in May of 2007, parents Kate and Gerry McCann, who had been dining in a nearby tapas restaurant as their children slept at their apartment, were questioned by the Portuguese authorities.

However they were soon found to be innocent and have since continued their long battle in trying to find their missing daughter, vowing to never give up hope in finding her.

The new podcast comes as Scotland Yard ask the Home Office for another year of funding in the search for Madeleine McCann. 

More than £11million has so far been spent on trying to find Madeleine in Operation Grange. 

In a statement last year the Home Office had said: 'We have received and are considering a request from the Metropolitan Police Service to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.

'The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
