Hi egap1 and Buddy if Maddie was taken what do you think the reason for this was. Perhaps she was sold to a childless couple who would pay top dollar for a beautiful little girl or something more sinister..I think the appartment was watched and the McCanns, movements monitored and the selling of children is rife in some of the Countries outwith Britiain.
Hi Susan
As I said my theory involving a member of the Tapas 7 is without a scrap of evidence and isn't very nice so I wldn't really feel happy posting it on the forum. I'm sure you can use your imagination although you might prefer not to.
I don't think she was snatched to order. She was a beautiful adorable little girl but most of them are most of the time. Why would she be singled out? If it was some highly organised group or even a disorganised group that wanted a child for a childless couple or a paedo ring they would have attempted a repeat either in a nearby resort if they were disorganised or further afield in Europe or Americas, Asia, Africa if organised. As far as I'm aware there hasn't been any similar cases reported.
Statistically most child abuse/abduction is carried out by persons known.
