Parents Declared “Arguidos”
The McCanns Are Declared Arguidos. What Is An Arguido?
If you’ve been living under a rock these last few months, you may not be familiar with the Madeleine McCann case. I’m not going to fill you in on it, I suggest you do a search on the net to get up to speed, as it’s a helluva big thing on the internet right now.
I could take this opportunity to rant about how so many children go missing in South Africa, and do not get the publicity and public support that this little girl is getting, but that will just upset me and I’ll get a headache.
What I will say though is that this is turning into one of the more dramatic news stories of the past year. After reports that Kate McCann has been named as an official “arguido”, comes today’s breaking news that Gerry McCann has now also been declared an “arguido”. Arguido means “suspect” in Portuguese, in case you didn’t know.

The naming of the couple as suspects came after police in Portugal received the partial results of forensic tests on traces of blood found in the room where the child was sleeping. Kate McCann, 39, was also questioned by police about blood allegedly found in a car the couple rented 25 days after Madeleine went missing. [via IOL] |
I remember chatting to The Girlfriend about the case some time ago, and she actually said that the parents may have accidentally killed her, and tried to cover it up. Of course at the time, I simply shrugged it off as one of those silly things women tend to say. Well done, The Girlfriend, you may be proved right.
This could very well drag turn into a made-for-television movie in the near future, a bit like that story in the 80’s about the Australian mother, whose child was taken by a dingo in the outback?
Let’s wait and see.
