    She wandered out herself, something happened (car accident/paedo)
    On a scales of one to ten, how xenophobic would you think yourself? Based on your posting here it looks doubled digit.

    Having lived in three different countries, I'd say not very. You need a sense of humour transplant rather urgently.

    I see the dig at each other and not so subtly bombarding this thread again.
    Knock it off or there will be thread bans issued again.

    According to the McCanns and their friends, they were frequently checking on the kids. It's also a busy tourist resort. I can't imagine it would have been simple to just walk in unnoticed and pick up a sleeping child. Surely there would be a huge risk of been seen or caught inside the apartment?

    Also, there is a good chance that a 3 year old child will cry and kick up a fuss if picked up by a stranger... She was crying the night before. That would potentially alert attention.

    You wouldn't just leave a car outside. Again, it would easily be noticed if a car was just parked up outside for a few mins or lurking close by.

    The window that was opened that only opens on the inside. Kate's DNA was found on it. No fingerprints, no footprints, no sign of a struggle anywhere in the apartment.



    If she really was abducted, the abductor would have had to have walked in unnoticed at exactly the right time between checks, picked up the child without causing a disturbance to any of the children, escaped unnoticed with the child without leaving a footprint, fingerprint or DNA anywhere. Then disappeared without a trace.

    I'm not saying that there is absolutely no chance that it happened... It just seems unlikely to me.

    It is really the most straightforward explanation - the other explanations depend on a very complex and contrived set of circumstances - particularly the parents burying the body undetected.

    To answer your points above:

    There was a risk of being caught - but as everybody points out, the children were out of sight of the parents - their schedule was to check on the kids every3 0 minutes. Ample time for any abductor! (Think of the much bigger and stronger Deirdre Jacob snatched outside her home in broad daylight in seconds!)

    There is a good chance a child will cry or scream - but not if you put your hand over her mouth - she was tiny remember.

    There was an empty car park less than 100 yards away - this was suggested by the British investigators as the most likely place for the abductor to park . He/she would be very unlikely to walk through the town with a child in his/her arms. Car getaway makes most sense.

    She was tiny - there would be no real struggle required and therefore no obvious evidence. What would you expect - the blanket was pulled back and that's the only sign that would be left in such circumstances (no blood, no furniture tossed aside, no footprints, no fingerprints.)

    The patio door was open. That's where the intruder entered and left. Easily done.

    Are you honestly telling me this is LESS LIKELY than the parents killing the child accidently through sedation or otherwise, burying the body completely unnoticed somewhere it has never been found despite all the searches, colluding with all their friends there to make up a story that they have all kept up all these years and never broke, have maintained this incredible facade, and have constantly asked for more investigation of the incident?

    For some reason, Scotland Yard have always gone out of their way to emphasize that they are only investigating from an abduction or burglary gone wrong perspective. They are not even considering the McCanns.

    They've never actually stated why it is that they won't consider it.

    But they've spent millions and millions and all they really came up with is a few e fits of suspicious charity workers....

    Time to call it a day.

    Why are you so concerned about the cost? You're not paying it. Wouldn't it be great if an answer was found? What price on a little girl's life?

    They are not considering the McCanns because its totally obvious from all the circumstances that they could not have done it.

    Unless you think the police are in some major plot with the Government to cover up the crime because they don't want the Mc Canns to be caught?

    Really??

    Do you want the McCanns to be innocent so much you'll try to convince that pages on a digitally certified URL from the telegraph is fake and has been there for 11 years?


    Wow, yet something other than Madeleine been abducted is beyond your imagination ?

    Yeah that's what I lean towards. Although I don't think the friends were in on it.

    An abduction scenario would be more complex than you think. It's unlikely that an abductor just parked up, was drawn to apartment 5a, noticed the patio door open, strolled in and jackpot, 3 helpless kids just lying there. Takes Madeline and strolls back to his their car.

    What attracted the abductor to 5a?
    How did he know he'd have easy access?
    How did he know that there'd be kids there? (There was a child minding service across the street)
    Did they know the parents were checking every 30 mins?

    The McCanns were only there for a couple of days. It's doubtful that anyone would have been watching closely for long enough to establish their exact routines.

    Also, the patio was open as in unlocked. Not swinging wide open.
    How would an abductor know it was not locked?

    Also, and I find it hard to even mention this because it's a bit sick but, if you were an abductor... Would you break into an apartment to abduct a girl? I'm sure there are much easier ways.

    Abductions are usually more opportunistic like offering a lift or something attractive.

    Jane Tanner claims she saw a child being taken away while Gerry was talking to Jez outside the apartment. The McCanns have always maintained this was the abductor and no one has come forward to say it was them she saw. Scotland Yard bizarrely claim it was a man who was walking in the opposite direction towards the apartment.

    Jane saw this person within minutes of Gerry leaving the apartment after he saw Madeleine in bed and while he was standing close to the gate that leads to the apartment back door that was unlocked. The only way in.

    5 minutes to sneak past Gerry and Jez standing at the gate, open the back doors without either of them noticing, go straight to the kids bedroom, open the window and the noisy shutters and then leave by the front door.

    Must have been Derren Brown.

    It could have been an inside job . The pattern was established as the Mc Cann and co group booked the Tapas table in advance for the next 3-4 nights . The booking page was open for all to see and a member of staff could have passed on the info . It could have been inadvertently passed on by gossiping at a family gathering or night out .
    My opinion ( opinion only ) is it could well have been an inside job and a key passed on for the front door . Car parked outside the door and in and out in seconds
    The children were left unattended and in a vulnerable position and it is not impossible to think an inside job could have occurred .
    .
