The case of Madeleine McCann

[John]

For me,there's no doubt no abduction took place. What I would like to know is, why start off by lying through your teeth.

If there had been unidentified prowlers wandering around Ocean Club that night surely someone would have seen them?  After all, there was a constant trail of guests wandering back and forth from the tapas bar and restaurant adjacent to the block from where Madeleine disappeared.  Additionally, people like Jez Wilkins were out walking, another local girl was visiting her boyfriend nearby. Waiters and other members of staff were coming and going, a veritable race track yet we are led to believe someone got through completely unnoticed and took a young girl from her parents apartment.

Scotland Yard in the guise of DCI Andy Redwood appears to have destroyed the one and only mystery man seen was walking past block 5 with a child in his arms.  So all in all somewhat of a mystery?

[lookout]

 So this " mystery man " could well have abducted the child ? Yet people are saying no abduction ?

I think John is saying, the police now know who the man was. I'm sure it was explained on crimewatch.So the mystery man is not a mystery any more.

You know I just think with the huge wave of Eastern European immigration at the time these package holidays were not as safe as they used to be, with all the hustle and bustle and of course people being on holiday and letting their guard down, as happened with the McCanns.

I know,Marty. I read that it was just a guy collecting his daughter. What I am saying is that the McCanns had nothing to do with the child's disappearance.

I agree with you Steve.

That is still the $64,000,000 question!

There is no doubt in my mind about their innocence. Then again,your job wasn't to look for innocence before guilt ?

So why refuse to cooperate with the original investigation?     Have you ever heard of innocent parents in a possible child abduction case refusing to cooperate with the police?

I suppose once they were notified by their lawyers that they were arguidos they were told not to speak to them. There was a suggestion that Maddy had fallen from a sofa and knocked herself out, something which the parents felt necessary to cover up, but this was near the end of the holiday and it would have been surprising for her to have had the accident just that night and not before. I'm not sure there was time either for the parents to have put her in the rental car, driven to a remote spot, buried the body and returned to their party, who surely would not have covered for them in their absence.

The Smiths sighting is an enduring mystery, why the man carrying a child never came forward must be suspicious.

[Adam]

It is quite ridiculous to suggest the Mccann's killed and then disposed of Maddie.

It was simply a predator who took a small window of opportunity to take her.

[Roch]

Well done Goncalo.
