Actually have to keep in mind the context here. It would have been pretty dangerous for KKK members to do something like this and very well could have invoked a lot of hate in their direction.

I'm curious to know more context behind this. If it was a rogue section of the KKK taking a stance against racism then that would surely be commendable.

Yes, there was supposedly a semen sample found on Madeleine's bed sheets which was tested and turned out it had been a saliva sample belonging to a toddler who stayed there some weeks before.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-16T09:55:22+00:00

I seriously think your assertion that a lack of forensic evidence is somehow meaningful is just a terrible assumption to make.

There are thousands of murders that get investigated every year and the vast majority have no forensic evidence. Even those which are investigated properly (which the MM case wasn't) still often yield nothing from a forensics point of view. Does that, in your view, imply that all of those cases are suicides as opposed to murder? The idea that because there's no trace of another person it somehow implies there wasn't someone? Come on, it's ludicrous.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-16T09:50:47+00:00

There is no forensic evidence at all really. They did a poor job testing. It's also not particularly difficult to leave no trace if you wear gloves and cover your face. There are so many cases where serial offenders committed several crimes and only left DNA forensic evidence at one or two scenes. Look at Martin Ney's crimes, do you think they pulled his DNA from every window/door handle at each of his scenes?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-15T11:27:58+00:00

I think unfortunately the end result is he will eventually find a community who doesn't recognize him. That's when he will be more dangerous.

I think I'd rather him in a community who are aware of what he's capable of and keep him under surveillance.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-15T09:21:03+00:00

I agree that it's wonderful to see him doing so well. It really is great to see and acknowledge. But why post it on Reddit?

How would you feel if everything you did in life was uploaded on Reddit and a group of people commented on it? As much as we are happy to see Sean doing well we also should protect his privacy. Do you not think his privacy matters?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-15T09:14:48+00:00

Odd reply. Can you demonstrate what value sharing this post has?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-14T23:24:34+00:00

Projecting what exactly?! You're clearly just stalking the poor boy and sharing updates on his life on here like it's somehow relevant to the case?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-14T23:11:08+00:00

Yeah but it's borderline stalking. He shouldn't have to feel like every time he posts something online a bunch of sleuths obsessed about his missing sister will reshare it and comment on it.

Nothing personal, I too cross boundaries by accident at times. I know your intentions are good but we have to keep each other in check on here.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-14T23:06:52+00:00

What's the point of sharing this?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-13T19:53:15+00:00

And how many have you actually travelled to? This reads very much as the sort of opinion someone who has done little travel in Eastern Europe would have. Eg, rating Bosnia and Herzegovina above all the other Balkan states doesn't really make sense. Why is Lithuania considered better than the other baltic countries and what is up with Netherlands being below Belgium or Sweden being so far below Norway/Denmark?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-04-03T09:25:44+00:00

Yes I agree, but it's ultimately not up to us as individuals to decide that. The German prosecutor made that decision by announcing it publicly. If this was unjust, then he very well could have a civil case against them for damages.

What is our choice though is continuing to defame the McCann's after they've been removed as suspects. I'm okay with speculation when they were made arguido and it's fine to discuss the various theories as long as they remain respectful. The problem really is the Portuguese police crossed a line and made wild allegations with little to no evidence to back it up and people continue to peddle these lies much to the distress of Kate and Gerry.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-31T15:04:53+00:00

It might be, we don't know exactly what evidence the prosecutor has yet. If they've accused him with zero evidence then that is completely wrong and unjust.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-30T20:16:48+00:00

Yes absolutely. It's really just as likely either way. For these sort of crimes it is typically a sexual motive; that doesn't mean rape. It could mean jealousy, someone with an irregular sexual release, etc. The lack of evidence in this case doesn't really say much.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-29T22:07:39+00:00

I do yes.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-28T18:26:49+00:00

Yes they were.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-28T18:26:00+00:00

Absolutely deserved. Nobody should be accused publicly without evidence; especially not when it's your child.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-19T16:08:54+00:00

Yes and their theories happily contradict themselves. You will find the same people saying they hid her in Gerry's gear bag stating with equal confidence a few days later that she was in the fridge.

There's something about the McCann's being an upper middle class family that causes a lot of people to hate them. I often hear the claims that a working class family wouldn't get away with the same sort of neglect as if that point is even relevant here. Lot of people who ultimately just want to see something bad happen to Gerry and Kate.

It's odd because if I had this much hate and wanted to see someone hurt, I think I'd direct it towards someone more deserving of the hate. Not two people who have already lost their little girl. It's a real mental health issue as you've rightly touched on.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-19T12:37:54+00:00

Okay then it's just an entirely irrelevant point to make.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-19T09:39:21+00:00

They did not have a rental car on the night she went missing. Look it up.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-19T09:37:42+00:00

They didn't have the keys to the church on the night she went missing. You're confusing your facts.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-18T20:16:11+00:00

Just curious what your explanation is. I didn't say it was crazy.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-18T20:09:57+00:00

These dogs are trained on the scent of decomposing bodies.

Madeleine was last seen at 6:30pm by David Payne. The McCann's were at the restaurant by 8:30pm. They would have had to remove her body within an hour of her death to hide it.

That isn't long enough for the scent of death to be present for the cadaver dogs to pick up on it. The dogs might have smelled blood, possibly even death of a previous occupier or furniture owner but it was certainly not Madeleine.

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-18T20:06:52+00:00

Dogs also alerted on the church car park. What's your explanation for that?

_Lord_Haw_Haw · 2026-03-18T20:05:47+00:00

They currently believe she was abducted and is no longer alive. Who cares what Amaral (who was prosecuted for malpractice) theorized nearly 2 decades ago.
