On the 16th of December 2018, true crime reporter, Roberta Glass, uploaded an interview with Isabelle McFadden. Isabelle has followed, investigated, and commented on the case of missing Madeleine McCann for a number of years. Like many, many others, Isabelle has read the available police files on the case, accessible for free by clicking here; she has watched documentaries, spoken to journalists, criminal profilers, bloggers, other researchers, and come to the conclusion millions of others, including myself, also share - that Madeleine McCann wasn't abducted, that she died in apartment 5a - and that along with others - Kate and Gerry McCann lied to the police, that they lied to the public, and are complicit in the concealment of Madeleine's body.
Isabelle begins the interview by describing how she - like the vast majority of people upon hearing the news of Madeleine McCann having disappeared - felt a sense of shock and empathy.
Like many others though, Isabelle soon began to see cracks in the claims and the behaviour of Madeleine's parents. Things weren't adding up, and it was this that first spiked her interest in the case.
That initial curiosity and suspicion to the McCanns' actions, intensified after the start of what can only be described as a targeted campaign- a campaign to vilify, to smear, and indeed to destroy the reputation of Goncalo Amaral, the original coordinator of the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
After setting the scene, Isabelle and Roberta cover many topics in the interviews, including:
- The apparent checks on the children, who were said to have been left alone each night.
- The oddity of the McCanns' other friends checking on Madeleine, but the McCanns failing to check on any other children in the party.
- How and why Isabelle believes the leaving of the children didn't happen, but that others, including Goncalo Amaral, do.
- The number of non-evidenced theories, and how these theories actually serve the McCanns.
- Kate's description of events from 10pm.
- Kate's description of "whooshing curtains", not mentioned in her original statements, but something that became elaborated to the press over time.
- Both Isabelle and Roberta (who worked for Oprah Winfrey for 8 years) agreed that when Oprah interviewed the McCanns on television, that she didn't believe the parents' version of events.
- The 48 questions Kate McCann refused to answer, claiming she was afraid of incriminating herself. Both Isabelle and Roberta discuss how Kate - if innocent, could have incriminated herself by answering questions engineered to discover what happened to Madeleine
- The alarming hostility toward the police, including Kate McCann's strange admission to calling them "Fucking tossers", under her breath repeatedly.
- Isabelle's claim that there were discussions between Gerry McCann and a lawyer, as early as noon on the 4th May. It was his impression that the McCanns felt the police didn't believe them. This would fit with the words of Goncalo Amaral whom, along with the PJ suspected the McCanns very early on.
- Ocean Club staff losing their jobs, with claims that it was down to the economy, and yet people were hired to take their places.
- Eddie and Keela, the CSI and EVRD police dogs who gave a multiple number of alerts to items linked directly to Madeleine's parents.
- Madeleine's cuddly toy, being used as a PR prop, by Kate McCann
- How Kate claimed to be so attached to the toy, only to put it in the washing machine prior to the police dogs arriving.
- Kate and Gerry McCanns' reactions to the dogs. False claims of them being unreliable. The Zapata case, and the intriguing attitude of the McCanns for not wanting to learn what could have happened, but spend more time trying - and failing - to discredit the dogs.
- Attempts to discredit Martin Grime
- All the ludicrous excuses McCann apologists, and indeed the McCanns have attempted to give as to why the dogs alerted. If you haven't read these, you can do so on the link below:

- Discrepancies as to where the children slept
- David Payne's fanciful meeting with a soaking wet Kate McCann, as she stood at the door of 5a, wrapped only in a towel. Something Payne forgets, yet has an elaborate, and disturbing recollection of the children
- Payne's strange claim that the McCanns had a bag in their possession, but not one you could, according to him "hide a tennis racket in".
- The Gaspar Statements.
- Child protection worker, Yvonne Martin.
- The Smith sighting
- Gemma O'Doherty.
- Government involvement.
- PR involvement.
- £500k paid to Bell Pottinger.
- How the McCanns used Carter Ruck to have a criminal profiler, Pat Brown's book on the case, removed from Amazon.
- Former homicide squad, Colin Sutton.
...and, as they say, much, much more.
Both of these excellent interviews can be accessed on the links below.
Part One
Part Two
I'm very happy to be able to promote both interviews here. It takes a lot of guts and a huge amount of confidence to speak publicly, and with such ease - something I don't think I could do; yet despite many attempts by vile trolls who would like to drive Isabelle away from the case, she carries on regardless.
So, a massive well done to you, Isabelle.
Now, get cracking on some more!
Time and tide wait for no man, although with a bit of luck, the former awaits the two below.
