I truly hope that my words do not spell the end of your thread Lyn, for I hear that GR are most nervous about such discussions. But here goes ; There can be no denying that the McCanns were arrogantly naive in leaving their three children alone in a darkened, insecure apartment that night, even if it were just for a short while. But that does not make them party to that child's suffering. The Portuguese police have been totally inept with their investigations right from the word go. Note their inability to conduct basic searches, to seal off escape routes and to launch any sort of appeal for information. It has been left to the McCanns to issue posters, talk to the media and plaster the internet with pictures of Maddy. What would you expect of our own Police ? We are told that Portuguese law forbids the disclosure of police investigations in order to protect those who are under investigation. Yet the 'respected' Portuguese press would have us believe that they have a hotline to the highest echelons of the investigation which, apparently, are leaking like a sieve ! And why are the UK media so uncommited ? You know them as well as I do. There are many who are on the level ...................... and there are some whose job it is to dig the dirt ................. not sweep it under the carpet ! Yet not one of them have accused the McCanns ! Does anyone get my drift ?

If the Lyn you refer to is me then I am all ears, I personally think there is something sinister about the whole situation. And while I am making comment, that poor little brother and sister of Maddies are being passed from pillar to post while they go on their hunt to find their daughter. I wonder what happened to them when whoever it was discovered Madeleine was missing, did they grab the two of the up and run around with them? Lots of unanswered questions. Had I lost one child whether through my fault or not I would definitely not be leaving them in a creche, neither would I want to be one of the workers in that creche with that level of scrutiny either.

I saw abrief interview last night on the news of Maddies parents.. And i found it quite strange how they are holding themselves togeather so well. If it was me and my child had been missing for near on four months, I think i would be in pieces. There is more to this than meets the eye., I just hope the poor little mite is alvie and well. God bless her. Julie

Strange it is! Speculation and rumors is all the Portuguese press have. The police did not and never have made any statement that Maddie, is no longer with us... They are researching the cliff top area as well as the waters surrounding the coast....this is a fact...as it is in plain sight for everyone to see. The apartment has been sold...they do not have sniffer dogs ( who look for dead bodies ) only rescue dogs and those that sniff out drugs...So British help was brought in... From day one everyone yelled kidnap... this is a very high profile case which has escalated worldwide... so the pressure is on... Three month old blood splatter could belong to anyone including the cleaning ladies that clean the flats once or twice a week. Personally I do not believe that the parents or any of their friends are involved... Hypothetically , Maddie could have woken up...found herself in strange surroundings, opened the front door...to look for the parents...started crying and someone...took advantage of the situation.... ' God help her' Lindy :( who is off to bed now...

I have to agree with Robin , why only now are they examining traces of blood found in the apartment. Something just doesn't add up!!!!!!!!!

So ! ……………………. There are intercepted phone calls and e mails which confirm Maddy’s demise. Sounds pretty conclusive to me ………………….. Have they arrested and charged the McCanns yet ? And how is it that the police have known for more than a month that Maddy died in that room when the blood of “someone” was found only last week ? And would they really let other holidaymakers use that room before they conducted proper forensic investigations into a suspicious death ? If the McCanns were suspects from early on then why has their hire car been hired out to others and then brought back for examination ? Sounds bizarre to me ! And another thing ! ………………… why wait three months to tackle the McCanns about inconsistencies in their stories ? Were those inconsistencies not apparent on the night that their statements were given ? And if the McCanns and their friends have been in the frame all this time ………… why have the police been on Murat’s back for so long ? My questions are purely rhetorical and I am not looking for any answers. I flag them up only to keep thoughts in perspective. Still, we should all be most comforted by the news that yet another “respected” Portuguese news agency claims that their police see light at the end of the tunnel. For, until now, many of us have had the impression that they are forever doomed to be groping in the dark !
