Kate and Gerry McCann have revealed how they were targeted with hate mail after
their daughter
Madeleine disappeared.
The missing toddler's parents were branded "scum" in one vitriolic
message, they reveal in an ITV1 documentary.
In Madeleine, One Year On: Campaign For Change, Mr McCann is seen reading out a
hate-filled rant contained in a Christmas card with a snowman on the front.
The writer of the card calls them "thieving bastards" for using the
money from the
Find Madeleine Fund to make two payments on their mortgage.
"Gerry and Kate, how can you use money given by poor people in good faith
to pay your mortgage on your mansion?" the message reads.
"You f****** thieving bastards. Your brat is dead because of your drunken
arrogance.
"Shame on you. I curse you and your family to suffer forever.
"Cursed Christmas. If you had any shame you would accept full
responsibility for your daughter's disappearance and give all the money back.
You are scum."
But the couple insist that "99 per cent" of the correspondence they
have received is positive.
In the programme, due to be shown on Wednesday night, Mrs McCann also tells how
she reacted with anger and defiance as detectives declared her and husband
Gerry "arguidos" or formal suspects.
And the couple speak more vividly than ever of the events of May 3 2007, the
night Madeleine went missing in
Praia da Luz, Portugal. |
