EXCLUSIVE: "THEY STOLE MY MEDICINE" — RESORT DOCTOR BREAKS SILENCE ON THE EMPTY VIALS FOUND IN APARTMENT 5A TRASH!
HE KEPT QUIET FOR 18 YEARS. BUT THE ON-CALL PHYSICIAN NOW CLAIMS HE SAW HIS STOLEN SEDATIVES IN THE MCCANNS' BIN THE MORNING MADDIE VANISHED.
The theory that Madeleine McCann died from an accidental overdose has just received its most damning piece of evidence yet.
Dr. "Ricardo M." (name changed for protection), who served as the on-call emergency physician for the Ocean Club resort in May 2007, has come forward with a testimony that accuses the parents of stealing medical-grade drugs to silence their children.
For nearly two decades, the doctor lived in fear. But now, retired and battling illness, he says he can no longer protect the "rich English doctors" who he believes killed their daughter by mistake.
THE THEFT AT 4:00 PM
According to Dr. Ricardo, the nightmare began hours before the abduction was reported.
"I left my medical bag at the reception desk for five minutes while I used the restroom," he told The Crime Desk. "When I came back, the bag was unzipped. I checked my inventory. Two vials of Propofol—a powerful anesthetic—were missing."
Dr. Ricardo claims he frantically asked the staff if anyone had touched his bag.
" The receptionist told me, 'Mr. McCann was just here asking about headache tablets. He was standing right next to your bag.'"
THE DISCOVERY IN THE BIN
Dr. Ricardo initially thought little of it, assuming it was a mistake or a petty thief. But the horror set in the next morning, May 4th, when the news broke that Madeleine McCann had been "abducted."
The doctor rushed to Apartment 5A to offer assistance. The police had not yet cordoned off the rear patio area.
"I walked past the kitchen bin," Dr. Ricardo revealed, his voice trembling. "The lid was half open. Lying right on top, next to a wine bottle, were the two empty glass vials. My vials. The labels were torn off, but I knew the shape. I knew the red cap."
"THEY NEVER WOKE UP"
This explosive testimony aligns with the long-standing questions about why the twins, Sean and Amelie, failed to wake up during the chaos of the police search.
"Propofol is not for children," Dr. Ricardo explained. "It knocks you out cold. If you give the wrong dose to a three-year-old... they don't just sleep. Their heart stops."
SILENCED BY FEAR
Why didn't he go to the police in 2007?
"I was a local doctor. They were wealthy British tourists with political connections," he admitted. "I was terrified I would be blamed for leaving my bag unattended. I thought I would go to prison for manslaughter. So I stayed silent. I let them create the story of the kidnapper."
IS THIS THE SMOKING GUN?
If Dr. Ricardo's story is true, there was no intruder climbing through the window. There was only a desperate attempt to sedate three energetic children that went tragically wrong.
The empty vials are long gone. But the doctor's memory of that bin is as clear as day.
