Oh comon lilly, why didnt they find maddys body then, she cant have just dissapeared in to thin air. As i said we dont know the truth yet. Also kate mcann did say their waiting for when the truth will be clarified soon that they had nothing to do with their daughters dissapearance or killing. Thats a brave thing to say if they did do something to maddy.

seems obvious to me…the parents wanted to go out for dinner…gave the kid sleeping pills so she wouldnt awaken while they were gone…accidently overdosed her…didnt want to go to prison so they’ve tried this major cover up

First off, I don’t think it’s a “mistake” to drug your kids to sleep for your own convenience. That’s really bordering on criminality if you ask me. The other thing is that if it was an accidental death, we can’t rule out other forms of abuse either such as the millionaire who kicked his two-year old in the head and killed her in a fit of rage. Now, IF they are found guilty, we will have to let the jury decide how bad they are. I personally feel that IF this proves to be a case of negligent homicide, the things they did before, during and after are pretty heinous, not to mention bilking some $2mil from adoring sympathizers and wasting probably millions in police and other actions to try to find Maddy. I never trusted them from the start, but that doesn’t mean it’s a open and shut case or that I’m right. There are thousands of pages of testimony and evidence to go through, so this thing could go anywhere or it could go nowhere. I have the feeling this mess might never get straightened out and there will never be a definitive verifiable closure to it. The only thing that would put closure is either a full confession from the McCanns, or that someone from the police comes forward and says all this was a big police conspiracy to frame them up. But if you apply Ockham’s Razor to this case, it seems to me it is more likely that the McCanns did the deed.

PJWalker…you are so right. you summed everything i’ve been thinking on the nose. they have EVERY motive to cover up this accidental death. this is a very smart educated woman who had NO idea how difficult children can be. NO IDEA. i know firsthand because my mother was valedictorian of her college….beautiful…and was the worse mother in history. she couldn’t even handle us getting sick, crying, anything. all she ever knew was accomplishment and to not be able to handle my older sister and my twin sister and me!! who were only 2 yrs younger than her was mind boggling to her. she could get a 4.0, she could be a model, but she couldn’t handle 3 kids? she never gave us sedatives but would lock us in our rooms for nap time and we were not allowed to get out of bed and my bedtime (i’m serious) was 7:00 pm until i was about 12 yrs old. i’m not kidding. by high school it was 9:00 pm. she was sort of joan crawford-ish and this woman sounds that way too. and if gerry’s not helping out, kate’s not getting to be with adults and is with kids all day, she’s starting to lose it. 3 kids under the age of 3? that’s a lot. and she’s only known success so she’s been feeding them sedatives for yrs and it’s worked. the twins as well finally shut up. but this time it backfires and madeleine vomits and chokes on the vomit and blood/hemorrhaging possibly?? she just dies in her sleep? and the parents go to check on them and go “oh sh*t!!!” and they cannot admit to family that they’ve been sedating these toddlers since birth. so they clean up the apartment, roll her up in something, and leave her in the apartment, go back to dinner and then go “oh my god! she’s been taken!”. and then they take their “trips” to the church which they had their own set of keys to to find a place to bury her. even this touches me, cause they murdered her accidentally but wanted her buried at a church. these are not bad people. they just fucked up. i think the trip to the pope..etc..was to throw people off guard and while the world was watching them, a family member?/friend? maybe disposed of the body in a rental car rented by the mccann’s. they definitely have many more accomplices who might have corpse scents on them too. i’m sure of that. the police are not fabricating this. they sound very assured they know what happened and they’re not covering for themselves. i think this couple is going to have to come clean very soon and plea bargain since they are not bad people. they just made bad choices and it backfired on them. i doubt any family ever knew they were sedating their kids. only gerry and kate knew this and like PJ said, they would go to prison, lose their licenses, never see the twins again, be possibly disowned by all family/friends and their lives would be ruined. they have EVERY reason to concoct an abduction story to save their lives from ruin. EVERY reason!

To pjwalker911, you ask Barbara H where she is getting her facts and that the press reports all sorts of stuff and needs to be sifted through, but you make the assertion that the sniffer dogs found A) Blood an B) signs of a corps. That was actually reported by a newspaper in Portugal but was not confirmed by the police. There is also no proof that the kids were sedated. You are obviously jumping to conclusions, as are many others. Maybe try a new sifter! It’s funny that the first round of DNA checks done by police in Portugal didn’t turn up anything. Another issue is the site of the abduction, the apartment was not kept sealed for investigation. Others had already rented it. Another strange issue is that police offered a plea deal of 1-2 years if the mother admitted killing the girl. they have done this before with another woman. 1-2 years for killing a child would be ridiculous. Even John Walsh said not to jump to conclusions, that it was natural to think the parents may have done it, but they must continue with the search and looking for evidence. But I’m guessing pjwalker911 probably thinks John Walsh killed his young boy 25 years ago too!

I totally agrree with you. And another thing that seems more than a simple coincidence, is that the two persons who claim that had saw Maddie in Marroco and Spain had been neigbhours of the McCann´s some time ago.

Its all jumping to conclusions. We dont know the truth yet and im sure Maddelines body would have been found if that was the case.

Barbara H, where are you getting YOUR facts? The press reports all kinds of stuff that has to be sifted through. The press generally reports as if this is a cut and dry story of abduction and takes the side of the parents instead of presenting the evidence in an objective way. And thousands of kids go missing every year. Why has Maddy become the biggest media phenonmenon since the Lindbergh Baby and Jonbenet? I never said that they are guilty of anything. I am merely asking questions and attempting to answer them rather than just accepting the media version as the Find Maddy cult members seem to do. I merely point out that British police helped with the investigation using sniffer dogs who found A) blood and B) signs of a corpse. These bits of evidence must be looked at whether you like it or not. Now if you want to prove me wrong about that be my guest.

I recommend you look into the facts of the case and think it through before you state your opinion. Must admit this would be difficult as owing to Portugese Police procedures no one, accept them, knows the facts. Unless of course you mean the facts as reported in the press. hmmm
