Little Madeleine - she could be anywhere

[JenBKR]

I don't understand why people feel sorry for the mother. If she did kill her daughter and then drag the WHOLE WORLD into, I hope she rots.

The only person I am concerned about in this whole dilemma is Madeleine.

We still don't know that the mother is guilty. While I am not 'technically' a mother yet, I can imagine that it is every mother's worst fear that something would happen to their child. Personally, I do feel bad for the parents as of now, as I can only imagine what they are going through, and I will continue to feel that way unless she is proven guilty.

What if she didn't want them and felt this was her way out? I don't know why people are so slow to doubt that the parents could be the guilty ones. It's happened plenty of times. And probably more than we know, even. I, for one, wouldn't be surprised at all.

Oh i agree, it would not be a huge shock if indeed the parents or parent is found guilty, but I think it is easy to jump to conclusions about that, they have not got any actual proof of such as yet, the dna stuff is pretty dubious from what i hear.

I can only imagine how horrific it would be to be thought of that way, if you are completely innocent,there are a lot of doubts in people's minds now, including my own,but i like to think innocent until proven guilty.

Well if she did want out of being a mother as it has been put, then why only madeline?

We can go around in circles debating this idea and that, but they are just ideas, only time will tell, and hopefully whoever has done this will be arrested and punished soon, hopefully with Madeline home safe and sound.

I think we have all discussed the issue raised about their lack of care in regard to leaving these children alone,i could not agree more, it is not something i would ever do ,especially in a foreign country, maybe that is why they did not trust babysitters, but in hindsight i bet they are now wishing they had done so, it was a stupid thing to do on their part in my opinion, one they will regret for the rest of their lives,this is assuming the story of her disappearance is indeed true.

Often someone will be questioned and offered a 'plea deal' to:

a) get a confession from the person being questioned, OR
b) allow the real crook to let his/her guard down and be more easily caught, OR
c) that the real crook might come forward and admit their guilt rather than let an innocent person be charged. This is NOT likely, IMO, unless it is a first offense.

I don't know if Mrs McCann is guilty or not...I can see an accident happening and the coverup occurring out of sheer panic. But to have it extend to pulling the wool over the eyes of the civilized world???

There is method in the investigators' madness, I suspect - and they aren't making it public, because criminals have TVs and internet too.

I just hope all is solved for the best...

While all this is going on who is searching for Madeleine?

Quote from the above article:

"Detectives also announced they want to quiz Praia da Luz Catholic priest Jose Manuel Pachico to find out if Kate and Gerry have made any confession to him about their daughter, who vanished from their holiday apartment on May 3 as they had a meal.

A source said: "Police are interested in knowing what he has been told and if the McCanns confided in him." The priest befriended the couple and gave them the keys to his church, which could be searched today."

Surely they are not allowed to do this? Jose is a priest and a church is a sacred place?

It seems to me that the Portugese Police are desperate to plant this whole thing on the parents rather than actually searching for the real criminal.

I don't know what to believe anymore, but I keep hoping and praying it's not the parents, accident or not.

The article also mentions

The judge told officials he is urgently seeking "an object". It was not clear what it was, but possible items could be Madeleine's cuddle cat and the hire car.

If it is cuddle cat then Kate took it with her to the police station when she was questioned last week She was seen to leave without it so my guess is that the police have it.....

Maybe, just maybe, all this media attention on Kate and Gerry will mean that Madeleine's abductor will relax a bit more and let her out in the open.

Call me naive but I still do not and will not believe that her parents have anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance
