Maddy McCann Possibly Found Alive in India

I have a personal connection to this case. I looked after Maddy at the nursery where she used to go from age 2-4. She was a lovely child, very sensitive and softly spoken.

Her parents too seemed nice when they used to collect her, although her mum was slightly aloof. It was awful when she went missing, and at first I felt the utmost sympathy for what her family must be going through.

However, as details began to emerge this changed. For any parent to leave their children alone for any length of time is deplorable. They should have been punished for this alone, but never were, which I still find hard to comprehend.

However, the biggest issue I have is with the whole abduction theory. There were two other children in the room at the time. Why were neither of these taken? They were only 2, probably had limited speech and memories. Maddy on the other hand knew exactly who her parents were, where she lived etc, and could say this to people. Also, if she was snatched for a childless couple, surely they would have preferred one of the younger children to raise as their own?

As sad as it is, I still believe a terrible accident occurred that night, and the parents disposed of her body and hushed it up. Believe me, I would rather think that she was out there alive and hopefully happy somewhere, but my belief is that she is dead and there will never be a resolution to this case.

I can't help but wonder why they would continue to publicise the case- apart from the money, and draw attention and scrutiny to themselves.

I assume that if this is her, she will lose her 'Worlds Hide-and-Seek Champion' title?

Wow.
The parts in your post that I highlighted, I have always thought the same.
It just dosn't make sense.
My dad always said he thinks they gave the kids some sort of sedative to keep them quiet and make sure they slept while they went out, and that maybe they gave Maddie too much? It was reported somewhere that the twins were really groggy and didn't really wake up even when the room was full of policemen... seems odd. Poor little girl.

Jade Goody is a racist idiot

Well of course it's so people don't forget.

Yes but surely if they had killed Maddie they would want the public to forget so they could slip into oblivion and for all accusations to stop... it doesn't make sense. Surely they would want people to forget them.

It's a dangerous game they may allegedly be playing.
If it is found that the McCanns had something to do with it I hope they are severly punished. They got a lot of money and sympathy. I heard J.K Rowling offered to pay if a ransom was demanded (not sure if it's true but I remember reading it in a paper)

Osama Bin Laden was hiding for a lot longer than her though...so she'd have never have had it anyway

And I'm sure there are plenty of others who have been in hiding for longer still

Bit off topic, but what the hey

Could anyone really recognise her after so long?

This whole story pisses me off and has done since the day she went missing.

If her parents had been working class and this had happened they would have been charged with negligence, leaving her at home alone, in a foreign country, while they went out to dinner.

As far as I care it was 100% the parent's fault that she went missing and in my honest opinion they should have been arrested and charged with negligence as if they had been being responsible, and hadn't left her alone all evening, then they would still have their kid.

As for this story, it isn't her. They would have mentioned the distinctive marking in her eye as that was one of the most important aspects of her appearance that was constantly mentioned by the press.

Lets be honest here, in all likelihood she was kept as a sex toy for a few days, then killed and buried in an unmarked grave, in the middle of a forest, miles from anywhere.
