I’m watching it now and I bloody hope they did it, as I have 2 children and if I thought someone had taken them and what rings they would be put in to and what could happen. I hope they did it.

Maddie is at that age where had she woken up with an issue she could have gone to look for her parents.
Thats why they drugged them all so that they wouldn’t wake up wondering where their parents are. The fact the twins both stayed asleep for 6 hours after Madeleine went missing with all the commotion going on, people coming in and out of the apartment and the bedroom with people searching for her.. yet they didn’t even stir. Dodgy af

just finished watching this whilst doing a day of DIY jobs. Seems very pro McCan. From watching that i dont know what they were like as parents, what madeline was like. How they treated her, how she felt about them. Nothing in depth about what could have happened other than abduction, eg, the accidental death theory. And no details about the other people the'tapas 7'.

^ What I don't understand is why they didn't have a babysitter with the children, apparently the resort offered this free of charge (surely they could afford it, though?) Maybe the McCanns and the other parents in their group probably felt embarrassed this would have been practically every night but even so.
I find it difficult not believing the theory about Madeleine waking up in a daze due to being given Calpol or something similar and unfortunately fell and hit her head on the hard floor by the sofa where the specialist dogs alerted like crazy. If so, I'm curious as to where they disposed of her body without anyone seeing anything. It's awful to think about but just can't get my head around it.
I don't know if it's already been mentioned but statement analysis expert Peter Hyatt has an interesting video on YouTube explaining how he's of the opinion the McCanns know their daughter is dead. His account doesn't mean he's 100% correct but it's definitely food for thought.
Going with that theory that she hit her head and died...maybe her body was also bruised and had signs of abuse and in panic they disposed of her body - god knows where

What’s bugging me is that all the criticism I’ve seen is for the parents - who I do agree were neglectful. And I’ve seen nothing criticising the police. Any potential evidence was destroyed by having dozens of people in the crime scene that night. They botched the investigation from the very beginning by not having the area sealed off.

Social services would never have removed the twins because of neglect. They’re well loved, happy and healthy.

Maybe a bit personal but a long time ago now I found the body of someone very close to me. If you’d asked me before how I would have acted I would have said I’d be hysterical for days. Looking back now it seems mental but at the time I was stressing about the mess on the floor and worried the police would think my home was dirty.
Seems completely ridiculous now. If I’d had tv cameras there I’m 100% I would have looked suspicious to everybody. You think you know how you’d act in the face of trauma but being in that situation can be very different.

The mccanns had already had tons of people traipse through before the police.

The police asked them not to mention the distinctive mark in her eye ( I assume as it would make her too hot to handle and potentially get her killed) but they ran to the press with it.

She found Madeline missing and instead of shouting her friends who ‘were in the line of sight of the villa’ according to them, she ran all the way back to the tapas bar leaving the other two in bed still.

The McCanns careers rely on them working under pressure, I know this is completely different but it’s all just so muddy
It’s just incredible. I actually without disrespect hope Madeline passed away as I dread to think the alternative if true

If I thought my child had been abducted I wouldn’t leave my other 2 children in an unlocked room to go and alert people!
Unfortunately I think even if Madeline had been abducted for sale or anything else, nobody would have kept her alive she was to hot to handle, her face was everywhere and it would have been easier to dispose of her than risk her been seen, the sad thing is that whatever happened that little girl paid the price for it

Just going into ep 5. I guess this will be the start of the redemption arc for the McCann's, although not sure how that's possible.

I'm a bit behind on the conspiracy theories, but it's interesting that the other two children slept right through all the commotion. Are people saying Maddie was dead before they even went out for dinner? If they did kill her with sedation would they not be concerned about leaving the other two while having tapas and wine?

It’s not really the parents’ job to seal off a potential crime scene. Maybe if the police hadn’t taken over an hour to get there something could have been done. I think it’s natural that their friends came to the apartment to see if they could help. Resort staff were there also.

What do people who think her parents murdered her or think she died accidentally think they did with the body?

If that was the case nobody but them would have known Madeleine was missing until the next day. If they were guilty would they not have spent that night getting their story straight. And going out during the night with nobody about to get rid of her body? But in a short space of time despite the intensive search that 12 years later not a trace has been found.

The other people and staff in the bar said that neither Kate nor Gerry were gone from the bar for an extended period of time.

I can’t see how they could have hidden her body in 30+ degree weather with police in the apartment constantly.

Drugging her doesn’t add up either. Kate had specialised in anaesthetics and would have known what to give her.

I’m open to other theories but none of them make sense to me 🤷‍♀️

Your assuming Madeline was actually in her bed that night and they hadn’t already got their story straight? People were just glancing into a dark room weren’t they?

If they weren’t drugged how did the other two children sleep for hours and hours through all of the commotion.

I respect your opinion btw I’m just addressing the other side of the argument. I wasn’t there so don’t know facts this is just discussion and opinion

The thing is if she was drugged and yes her mum was trained in anaesthetics etc, but every time she is given something , it’s a risk. She could have drugged the kids every night for then months had no reaction, then that one time her body could have reacted.
I have reactions to meds all the time, even ones that I’ve used for years . All it takes is a different manufacturer etc .

I don’t know what the parents did to her but they did something.

^^ There was one theory about her body being put in a refuse container that would've been taken away not long after. It's plausible but not sure how likely this would be... All we can do is speculate. I also hope Madeleine died accidentally, I hate to imagine the alternatives.

Absolutely no idea. For me the least likely scenario is that she was abducted. I would think whatever happened was on a different time line to what the parents say.
When i did a placement in orthopdedic theatre over a decade ago i remember the anaesthetic staff saying they sedated their children on the areoplane as they are the experts in what to give.
I doubt we will ever know the truth in what happened to her, breaks my heart

I’ve just finished the documentary. The police were awful.

I have so many questions! I still don’t understand why they think it was abduction and not Madeleine waking up and going looking for her parents. Why was Kate’s first thought someone had taken her? Like a previous poster had said why didn’t we here more about the other tapas7.

It still doesn’t add up about the twins sleeping through everything especially when the other lady who was on holiday said that Kate was howling.

Theres also a theory she was cremated in a chapel they had keys to. The priest, who initially supported and comforted them, eventually wanted nothing more to do with them, saying he had been "deceived".
There had been a British woman who was due to be cremated and, a theory the Portuguese investigators had was that Madeline was hidden in the foot of this coffin.
While this may be untrue (who knows!) It also shows there are other possibilities than hastily burying her and her body potentially being found.

Someone on my Facebook friends shared this page earlier: it’s very biased against them but lots of interesting and pretty damning stuff:

Madeline McCann the truth of the lies
 
I’ve always, always from day one said Kate looks like a naughty child, her expression was always that of a child who knows they’ve done wrong and knows they’re in for a bollocking, now that could be realising she made a SERIOUS mistake in leaving the children or she’s done something, I lost my child last year, I was in no way out laughing a week later, even now almost a year later I laugh and feel guilty, I have NEVER washed the blankets from her cot and without standing morbid they will smell of cadaver because that’s the last thing my daughter touched, however they were hers, I’m not convinced by Kate AT ALL

You'd have thought the wind slamming the door shut would have woke the twins too.
