...years ago, and now, at 86, she is the icy Queen Maddin, standing in for all the city's overbearing women. (As narrator, he says, "Never underestimate the tenacity of a Winnipeg mother"). Still she pops up unbidden in her filmmaker son's memories. Again she quizzes her daughter Janet when the teen comes in to report that she hit a deer and a passing motorist helped put the creature out of its misery. Mother twists the story into an accusation that Janet had sex with a stranger. "No innocent girl stays out after 10 with blood on her fender...

To the suspicion of the couple's involvement, Madeleine's father was defiant. "Despite there being so much we wish to say, we are unable to do so, except...
...resentment have flourished. Criticism by the British media of the way Portuguese police have handled the case has helped stoke hostility towards the McCanns in Portugal. Last month, the couple said they would sue the Portuguese newspaper Tal & Qual over its report alleging police believe they accidentally killed their daughter. In interviews, the McCanns have expressed anger, despair and guilt over their decision to leave Madeleine alone. Choosing to leave Portugal without her will surely only make those feelings stronger.
