That said I still hope and pray that Maddie is alive.
Same here. At first I believed whole-heartedly Maddie's been kidnapped, now I'm not so sure. Of course, that's not down to press speculation convincing me otherwise, it's just there's something odd about the facts. The twins were left unharmed, blood found in the apartment...

How easy would it have been for a child left alone in a strange environment to fatally injure herself?

And if this is indeed the case, her parents would have been charged with manslaughter. That's a huge ordeal to face. But of course, if she could have disappeared, now that's a different case entirely...

I strongly hope that the above is completely wrong, but I cannot help it cropping up in my mind. The whole situation is very sad and I hope an end to it is found once and for all.
