The IG post she linked said she’s doing it because frontline workers don’t have the time to worry about theirs, and she can make five hand-sewn masks in the time it would take her to dye her hair. Apparently she’s making and donating a lot of masks to frontline workers. So, better than most, I guess.

No clue who the fuck she is though.

kind of niche for the 80s kid, now-parent, always a nerd crossover crowd:

lol oh dear. At the time I thought they’d accidentally killed her.

and buried her, hence the sniffer dogs positive on the car boot.

I thought they’d drugged her as a problem child to give themselves a break but accidentally double-dosed her.

Pic of cute sniffer dog so we aren’t condemned for derailing.

I must be the only person who watched that Netflix documentary and came away thinking well there’s no way they did it.

I haven’t seem that documentary but there were a few inexplicable aspects of the case.

Then again I thought OJ and Amanda Knox were guilty as sin, so what do I know?

It’s a while since I saw it, but you take a random 48-hour period in anyone’s life and you’re going to find some stuff that’s hard to explain. It seemed to me that all the theories of them doing it hinged implausibly on a bunch of people who were at the tapas restaurant with them inexplicably colluding to help them cover it up, or on the McCanns being these improv geniuses who were able to hoodwink everyone at the drop of a hat.

That versus ‘Opportunistic predator snatches unattended child, sadly never caught’. I’m not going to say that happens all the time, but it does happen. And it happened a lot more often back when people were very lax about attending their children.

I thought there were too many inexplicables: blood dog and corpse dog positives in the apartment, car boot and on Kate McCann’s clothing; her refusing to answer 48 police questions.

Without those it looks like a straightforward child abduction.

I don‘t remember all the details but didn‘t the documentary say that child abductions from someone‘s home is something that almost never happened in Portugal?
Obviously that doesn’t make it impossible but it‘s odd if this is the only case.

Being that lax may be criminal, but people can be idiots. Not sure the media did them any favours either way.

I thought the corpse dog stuff was debunked? And anyone answering questions from the cops without a lawyer present is a chump. Got to be a large percentage of wrongful convictions start with someone in an interrogation room telling themselves well they’ve nothing to hide.

Haven’t seen or found the dog debunking.

I thought the police interview was conducted earlier than that - don’t blame her for not answering any questions if she had already been declared a suspect.

So for me it’s down to the dogs.

The debunking isn’t really specific to the case, it’s more general, though it’s usually tied to that case because it’s so famous.

Sniffer dog evidence has been the subject of research questioning its reliability, and in one US court case, a judge agreed with analysis of three cadaver dogs’ performances which found they were wrong 78 per cent, 71 per cent and 62 per cent of the time.

Now ‘in one US case’ may not be saying a whole lot, but forensic science has turned out to be so consistently full of quackery and outright fraud that I’m not inclined to give much benefit of the doubt, if you’ll pardon the expression :grin:
