A specialist in facial expressions, Cabrera says that "the face of Kate is always the same, except for the tears - the first ones over the last five months and curiously only after having been criticised for not crying". Now she did it but her face "doesn't express any emotion or feeling. When one cries, one's face muscles move, and she didn't move a single muscle, just like poker players. That is highly significant", says the Spanish psychiatrist, and "brings us the certainty that she is hiding something".
Kate cries like a poker player
José Cabrera - Correio da Manha - 26.10.07
The key to the mystery lies "certainly with Kate, a very special and disturbed woman", guarantees to CM Jose Cabrera Fornero, a forensic psychiatrist who has been following the case since the beginning. The Spanish man attentively watched "the staged interview" that the couple gave to Antena 3, and its purpose was "to have the Spanish people on their side". But 70 percent of the viewers who called the channel believe the McCanns are lying, and the psychiatrist sides with them - "by crying without moving a single muscle, Kate looked like a poker player".
Cabrera says the 30 minutes of conversation ended up being "a
non-spontaneous interview, perfectly ordered in terms of the questions
that were asked by the journalist. And it gives us the impression that
the entire stance was staged by the couple".
The Spanish man even remembers Gerry's last sentence and even considers
it "genial": "Don't talk until they take the microphone off you". This
only proves that all of it was just a big theatre play, the entire
interview was staged. That is clear".
José Cabrera noticed that "during half an hour of interview his only
concern was to control her. It's extraordinary. Whenever she opened her
mouth to speak, he squeezed her hand - and all of this because the key
to this mystery certainly lies with her, she is a very special woman..."
Kate McCann "had psychiatric problems for a long time", the specialist
guarantees, and "now they have become worse". Cabrera retained an
interview that Maddie's grandparents gave to the Spanish television
recently: "In their innocence, they said that Kate had told them, some
time before the disappearance, that the little girl was looking
increasingly like herself, which from a psychiatric point of view means a
lot..."
For the Spaniard, the origin of a bad relationship between mother and
daughter - that was reflected by the writings about Madeleine in Kate's
personal diary - "which is highly significant" for all the specialists
that have been following this case since early May".
Gerry's greatest concern has been "to control his wife's impulses in
public - and that was once again well demonstrated throughout this
interview", says José Cabrera Fornero. "He is the one who dominates the
entire situation, he knows everything and he knows he must control her
and her problematic personality, so she does not exceed herself in front
of the cameras and talks too much..."
All the gestures and facial expressions "become fatal for someone who
has something to hide" - this is dictated by the experience that was
collected over the years by this specialist in forensic psychiatry. "And
there is no way to avoid that."
Nothing moves Jose Cabrera "against this couple", whom he does not know,
but he defended the McCanns' guilt in the 'Pros & Contras' show on
RTP, when the Policia Judiciaria confirmed their suspicions on the
couple - and yesterday he reinforced his theory to CM, one day after
Kate and Gerry chose Spain for their first interview after becoming
arguidos.
The English press itself confirmed yesterday that "70 percent of viewers
that called Antena 3 believe the McCanns are lying", the online edition
of the 'Daily Mail' announced.
José Cabrera was not surprised: "Any English person is cold, but there
is something more to her - her personality is not normal. And he makes
an impression by only worrying about her answers..."

"The interview was a circus act" - Moita Flores, criminologist, considers the interview was another act from the McCanns.
Correio da Manha - What is your opinion about the McCanns during the interview they gave to Spanish television?
Moita Flores - The whole thing looked like a circus act to me, duting
which the couple repeated the usual commonplaces, once again escaping
the essential. And once again they revealed that they have a lot to
tell, but they don't want to...
CdM : During this interview to Antena 3, Kate shows herself a lot more emotional that usual.
MF : But the curious thing was that even before this interview was made, it
was known the lady was going to cry, which then happened. And she even
managed to play the part well...
CdM : Do you believe there was image staging during this interview?
MF : One should notice that it was known beforehand that the couple would
take the opportunity to compliment the Portuguese police, which then
happened...
CdM : Gerry looks confident that the DNA tests cannot incriminate them.
MF : When he mentioned the tests, it was a silly reply to a docile
interviewer. Everybody knows that DNA tests identify people, and they
don't lie. But they do not condemn anyone on their own. That was
miserable.
CdM :How can the couple's statements be defined?
MF : It was an act that nobody believes in. After the kidnapping theory,
now they insist on their innocence. An innocent person does not need
this...
