Wouldn't it be great if it was the case ,look at all those kids in US that have turned up yrs after going missing..
Many of the poor kids that happens to don't end up in the hands of nice people. They end up abused mentally, physically and sexually and then somehow escape it. I think Maddie is likely dead.

Yes I'm sure she is, but I was agreeing with the other poster in saying it would be great if someone good had taken her .But highly unlikely x

I’m sure in the Netflix documentary the cadaver dog ‘evidence’ was rubbished by specialists. Can’t remember why now as it was so long ago I watched it.
I think the Portuguese police made massive mistakes and were very quick to blame K&G.

Me too... lets hope they finally get some closure, but it still won’t ever excuse their bad judgement and neglect on the night it happened.
Neglect & selfishness. I will always suspect them, any other regular parent would have been prosecuted..

No, doesn’t make sense to me and doesn’t ring true, he is a vile man without a doubt but killing doesn’t seem to be in his usual profile. I would say he’s a definite scapegoat.
K&G (I believe) had nothing to do with it - she was drugged by the holiday club who were paid to do so as they knew she was left alone at night, the girl from the holiday club is now living the high life in America having quickly disappeared.
Maddie was u characteristically tired that day, so much so she couldn’t stay awake to finish her book which was unusual.
She was snatched to order
This is a very interesting theory. Def one i’d not considered. Ordered by a sex ring or a childless couple??

The evidence about the dogs in that documentary was what convinced me that K&G had nothing to do with her disappearance.
Previous to the documentary I thought it was them 100%. But after the documentary I realised it was the media which had built up my beliefs. I certainly believe that K&G and their friends were the kinds of people who go on a family holiday and leave their children out of what they are doing. They were negligent leaving their children in that apartment and they will have to live with that the rest of their lives. I even believe that they sedated the children to sleep (in the 80s people used to lace their kids bottles with calpol, not that I would ever do anything like that). As much as there is evil in this world I just can’t believe that K&G knew their child had died or had a hand in it and then acted the way they did afterwards. Even accidentally killing her you couldn’t just act so emotionless. And regardless of the group they were with how any of them could keep quiet if they knew anything. I always thought it odd how Kate was so emotionless in the media footage but the person who was advising them after it happened had told her not to get upset during interviews etc as it may prompt whoever had Maddie to hurt/kill her.
There was also something about the doors and windows, certain things it was said that Kate had said and the media reported it incorrectly so made her look suspect.
The way the police went about things wasn’t right either. They immediately blamed K&G and missed other clues and didn’t investigate other factors. The whole police department over there came over as corrupt and negligent also. Not to mention all the other missing children in the area.
I think they are an odd couple, probably not natural loving parents and are selfish but I don’t think they know what has happened to her.

I wonder why people laced bottles with Calpol. It’s paracetamol not a sedative. Much better to use an antihistamine medication if drowsiness is what you’re after.

Up until the Netflix documentary I thought it was Kate and gerry. No I have no idea. Sad to say but I don't think she's alive and hasn't been for 13 years.

Around 7 years ago our friends were on holiday in Majorca. They stayed in at an exclusive hotel where the McCanns and the twins were also staying. They said everyone stared at them, was talking about them by the pool etc...the twins played like normal children on holiday. They ate together in the hotel restaurants and went to evening entertainment etc...the hotel was one of the most expensive on the Island so they certainly have a lot of money.

It was medised people used to use to make kids drowsy, tasted foul, I thought it had been taken off the market now.

I remember Medised. It was taken off the shelves when my youngest was small. It was great for clearing up sniffles. The problem was people used it on otherwise healthy kids for the sedative properties.

Oh my mistake, not sure where the calpol came from must have heard it somewhere over the years!

It’s a very common misconception that Calpol aids sleep. I think that it does in that it eases symptoms therefore the poorly child will get a decent kip. It has no sedative properties in itself.

As quacks themselves the McCanns would have been using something else, if that is indeed what they were doing.

Are people on here suggesting that the friends with the McCanns on that evening were complicit as well? That's an awful lot of people to have to keep a huge traumatising secret.

That’s what has been suggested before. I just don’t know how any of them could, regardless of what kind of people they are, most of them with children themselves. How could you ever trust that many people to keep quiet?

Yes. If that was the case, someone by now would have broken ranks.

How many couples were there? I imagine over the years there have been divorces among them, fall outs between friends etc.

I also imagine every one of them have been offered large financial rewards by the press to sell their stories.

One of them would of definitely cracked by now if that was true. Think its just another fabricated theory.

Definitely not! The realists will know this is just a fairytale

I’ve just skim read a few pages as it’s 1am and I’m very familiar with this case. Do some people really believe she was taken by a nice childless couple that have raised her secretly in a loving home??? That’s the most bizarre of all the theories, wishful thinking maybe!

Portugal, particularly the algarve relies heavily on tourism. It would have been extremely damaging to the industry if people believed children were being taken from their beds. I believe that is why the police went so heavily into the parents, blaming them to keep the algarves reputation of a safe, family resort. When you actually look into it, it is riddled with pedos as I’m sure everywhere is sadly
