Family of girl found 18 years after kidnap tell Madeleine McCann parents “never give up"
Mirror (U.K.) ^ | 1 APR 2020

EXCLUSIVE: The father of Kamiyah Mobley, who was snatched from her mother's arms while a baby, has sent a message to the parents of Madeleine McCann telling them not to give up hope

Eight hours after her birth in 1998, Kamiyah Mobley was taken from her mother’s arms by a woman posing as a nurse in a sickening kidnap which sparked one of America’s longest-running missing person’s cases.

Kamiyah grew up not knowing that her “mother” was her kidnapper – until three years ago, when she was 18, a series of tip-offs led police to her home and DNA tests proved her true identity.

Now reunited with her real family, she sits with her father Craig Aiken as he sends a message to Madeleine McCann’s parents, telling Kate and Gerry to look to his story and “never give up hope” that their daughter will be found alive.

Craig, 45, says: “We are bound together by the terrible crimes that befell our daughters. Very few parents in the world are united by such an atrocious wrong. But I have worn the shoes the Kate and Gerry now wear. I have walked the footsteps they now tread and I have come out the other side.”

He says he would welcome the chance to speak to the McCanns, whose three-year-old daughter went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007.

He says: “I know only too well their very real pain ain’t going to stop until their child comes home and that’s when the healing is going to begin.

“All I ever used to say is that Kamiyah is coming home. Never once did I give up on my hopes and prayers. I never felt once Kamiyah was dead. I never gave up hope. I would

Madeline wasn’t kidnapped, she was killed by her parents.

I don’t think I ever heard that theory. The Podestas, Epstein’s girlfriend and that little puke Athony Weiner sure
look like the sketch the police put out at the time of the suspects.

Actually there is a good chance that the Podesta Brothers snatched her. Go look at the police suspect sketches.

Yes, I’ve seen the sketches and I agree they look like them, but if she was kidnapped the parents were in on it. They had something to do with her disappearance. I still think she was killed by the parents before they went out, though. It would be nice if she was alive but what she would have endured would have been horrific.

The most likely scenario is that the McCann’s, along with all the other parents with them at dinner, drugged their children with Copal (?) so that they would sleep through the night (and not disturb their dinner and drinks). Madelaine probably woke up, drowsily, and climbed on the couch to look out the window to see where her parents were, fell off, hit her head and died. Not wanting to get busted for child neglect which led to their daughter’s death, her father took her body and buried her a few miles away.

I just can’t say at this point because it was a long time ago and I would have to be refreshed on a lot of the details. I don’t recall anything making me lean towards them being guilty other than of stupidity maybe. I don’t recall the parents ever being found guilty of sketchy connections.
The Podestas, Weiner and that Epstain girlfriend on the other hand.........

They were never found guilty because they were never charged because they wouldn’t work with the police to find her. They didn’t act like parents desperate to find their daughter. They acted like people who were worried about themselves. I understand not cooperating with the police, especially in a foreign country, but realistically, all that goes out the window when your child has been kidnapped. I would do anything no matter how much it might incriminate me, to find her. Everything about them screams guilty, imho.

That was on the order of what I was thinking. She probably had drugs in her system, which would have been discovered in an autopsy, and she either ODd on them or like you said, she died in another accidental manner. The parents didn’t beat her to death, but they acted criminally by giving her drugs or negligent by not being there which caused her death and were too cowardly to own up to it.

What about that Sir Clement Freud character? Wasn’t he proven to be a pedophile and weren’t the Podestas and their creepy crew there staying in his house at the time which wasn’t that far away?

Yes, and all the other parents went along with the lie in order to prevent being charged for their neglect of their own children.

Your point about the Podestas is very valid. In fact, when the police sketches started circulating online a few years ago, I saw it as a real possibility, and as I mentioned before, I think Madeline could have been taken by the Podestas, but the McCanns were involved. My theory stems from the fact that the parents have never behaved as bereaved parents would if their child had been kidnapped, imho, unless they were tranquilizing themselves before their interviews. It is a strange case, it seems like the police really botched it.

“My theory stems from the fact that the parents have never behaved as bereaved parents would if their child had been kidnapped”

That is not something you can base criminal charges on.

Didn’t that Freud guy have the parents come to his house in the pretense that he was concerned and trying to help them? Didn’t they find out later he was a perv?

If that perv Freud guy was allow to operate in that city then more than likely there were key people in the police that were on the take that would have purposely impeded the case.
