Actually, they had plenty of free time and watching the news coverage, our best reporters were saying they did indeed have plenty of time alone.
How on earth could they have done this in so little time and with no witnesses? And in a foreign nation no less. I don't like these irresponsible creeps, but there is hardly any evidence here.
Well nobody knows.
Thats the tip of the iceberg as far as I’m concerned. It appears a good deal of her hair was found in the boot of the car which is the most damning evidence at all.
Apparently, there are going to be further tests on this because they will be able to tell IF the hair was attatched to a ‘living’ or ‘dead’ body at the time.
If friends helped them, then that would explain why the girl’s body wasn’t found during a search after the police were called.
Sorry but I can not buy this. Just think there is a knock on your door there is your friend he says
“buddie I just killed one of the kids can you hide the body till the police get through and if you can dispose of it.”
Now I would ask myself just how good of friends are we if I do him this favor and git caught I could go to jail for life or worse if I tell him hell no and call police I am in the clear. What to do what to do.
A glamorous vacation resort by the sea in Portugal.....a missing child with an intriguing name......seven well-to-do friends dining in the resort's restaurant......some diners leave the table in the middle of dinner and are gone a while.......clews in a boot, and blood specks on a wall....
A laundered toy....cadaver dogs catch scent of death.....fellow diners defend parents......parents defend fellow diners.......parents angrily denounce police....seven diners questioned one by one and then there were none........parents return to London via the Orient Express.....oops, I think I'm getting carried away.
Paging Hercule Poirot.....Paging Hercule Poirot........

My brother is a detective and he has told me that you can test for drugs in hair, it stays in your hair longer than it stays in your blood stream. Did they check the other children for sedatives? Also it is reported that the windows and doors were not locked. Is it possible the so called sedative they gave the kids was Benadryl? If they used an antihistamine to get the kids to sleep, it doesn’t alway work. On some kids it has the opposite effect and it makes them wired. It is quite possible that she woke up from a sleep and went looking for the parents herself and was snatched. At 3 years old she knows how to open and close a door. And as someone said, these people are doctors, they know way more about DNA, bodily fluids, decomposition etc. then the average Joe.
Sorry but I can not buy this.
I agree, it's not probable - I don't have any friends that would do such a thing to help me - but it's plausible. Who knows what favors these friends have done for each other in the past? Maybe these people have been "partners in crime" with each other before.
A friend from long ago in my younger days & I used to joke, that we have to be friends forever because we know so much on each other. Maybe one of the other doctor friends was who supplied the narcotic or whatever might have been used on the children. Maybe that's why one of their children was "vomiting", according to the parent. Who knows?
You know, as a mother, that was one thing that jumped out at me too. I was just reading about this yesterday in a magazine and my immediate thought was ‘She WASHED the toy??? WHY??? It would have smelled like her daughter!’ I wouldn’t even need a psychologist to tell me that most mothers would instinctively want to keep that scent without even realizing it.
I have the sweater my dad wore to the hospital when he was admitted, right before he died. When we took his belongings home that day, my sister opened up the bag and burst into tears again, saying ‘It smells just like Dad.’ I haven’t washed the sweater and I don’t ever intend to. It’s his cologne, his scent, the smell I remember when I hugged him. Very powerful.
My youngest drank quite a bit of Dimetapp (which will also sedate) when he was about 3. He thought it was grape juice. He also swallowed a mouthful of bleach once. He also chewed through a glow necklace and got the glowing liquid stuff in his mouth, eyes, up his nose. There was never a dull moment with him.
Sedation for younger kids would most likely be in a liquid form, not injected and not in pills that would have to be swallowed whole. Geez, Dimetapp and Benedryl can knock a kid out, it wouldn’t even have to be a prescription drug. I agree that some kids will eat pills. Many look like Redhots or Sweetarts to a kid. And if you have one like mine, they’ll try anything.
plauseible
its plausible there is a honest democrat
its plausible thers is a honest used car salesman
its plausible there is a accurate weatherman
nope still cannot buy it
From what some friends tell me getting prescription drugs through customs into a foreign country and getting them back into USA is quite the hassle if they brought a sedative in it would be recorded at customs I bet. If they got through a local doctor should be a paper trail.
I remember that! God, what those parents went through :(
Looking back, I think about all the times my ex and I took our young children camping. Bears, mountain lions, bikers, and gang bangers hang around Angeles National Forest campgrounds.
Something tells me that the Mc Canns had nothing to do with Madeleine’s disappearance.
They are ALL doctors. They can self-prescribe. Seven doctors, and not a one of the stupid asses thought to have babysitters for their little toddlers (all kids under four years of age) while they drank fourteen bottles of wine and partied!!!
I’ve seen some men (including my grandfather) deal with their pain by “moving on” as quickly as possible.
My grandfather didn’t even go to my grandmother’s funeral - he said it was too painful.
within a few months he was engaged to a woman who didn’t even like him - but she did like his assets.
He just wanted someone there, and didn’t want to deal with the pain of losing his wife.

well said...yes, it is very powerful.
I would think only the most anal retentive or germaphobic person would think to wash it away.
Because her death was accidental, not intentional. The Portuguese police's theory is that the McCanns mistakenly overmedicated their daughter - not that they deliberately killed her.
UK, See post 85 disabusing me of that notion.
“Let justice roll thought the heavens fall.”
Altogether sad situation. Hope that the various investigators got it right.
OMG!
Hope you “whupped his a$$!”
To me, a few things in life warrant spanking a child and THAT was one of them!
The grandparents were babysitting the son of some friends.
The little tyke, age 3, hid from the grandparents and WOULD NOT come out. They were HYSTERICAL, CRYING, CALLING THE POLICE, by the time he showed himself. The grandfather almost had a heart attack. Needless to say, when the FATHER found out, a serious spanking ensued. This little one had rarely been spanked, so he was DISTRAUT and never hid from the adults again.
