lol they are off to see the pope on Wednesday, this is just getting silly now.

yeah that's what I thought. and in the mean time everyone and their grannie has been accused so nothing has actually been achieved.

There doing everything they can to keep in the public eye, this story has
run for over 3 weeks now. I'm just happy for them the world of News
has gone a bit quite and this is helping to keep this sad story in our media.

The world of news may have gone quiet but the News of the World continues with its exceedingly cheap advertising campaign.

I feel for the family I really do but this hasn't affected me.  I am like AndrewT on this one, I have sympathy I really do but I don't see what I can do to help. 

Moreover I am with Laz in his assessement.  The parenting skills on show are shocking, how anyone could leave 3 kids at that age on their own while they go out for a meal is beyond me.  I am disgusted by the bláse attitude of the parents.

I know they are suffering for that now.  Perhaps they should have thought about what they where doing in the first instance.

You can guarantee that if it weren't for the fact they come from a middle-class family with well paid jobs they'd be all the bad 'yins. 

I really hope that Madeleine is found safe and well but unfortunately I don't hold out much hope of that being the case.

yeah, there's something a bit sick about this, you know that somewhere in the News of the World someone did a cost benefit analysis of getting involved like this. Who would trust these people.

I would really love this all to end well, but I'm afraid my gut feeling is shared with GlasgowBandit, fear the worst on this one. Hope I'm wrong, but I do fear the worst.

anyone in here read Private eye? Very nice bit with quotes from the news papers about "the hunt for Madeleine" and it shows you just how crap the British media is and how eager they are the scare monger and convict.

[AndrewT]

Both Gerry and Kate McCann are now offical suspects in the case.

For those who are wondering what has brought this all about, the theory is that they sedated their children so that they could have an uninterrupted night out. Something went wrong and Madeline died (accidentally). Knowing that if this got out, not only would they both lose their jobs as doctors but they'd have their other children taken away from them, they concocted the 'she was abducted' story.

However, given the lack of a body, it will probably be difficult to get a conviction - hence the hours of questioning trying to get them to crack and confess.

where did you hear that theory Andrew?  I had presumed something a little more violent was suspected as the timing seems to coincide with the results of the analysis of the blood spots that were found in the apartment.  Time will tell I suppose.

[Ironside]

i have heard both

seemingly madelines blood was found in a hire car that they didnt hire for 25 days after she went missing and the tests they got back were tests on that blood

On the internet

As I said, it's just a theory. The blood spots in the apartment were caused by either spray from an intravenous injection or from resuscitation attempts.

  OMG....Absolutely lost for words.

I think it is only natural to suspect the parents straight away, I know I considered it, I think everyone probably has briefly.  However I don't think it was them and they are definitely not to blame ( In my opinion ). The very fact that they were in a foreign country seems obvious they are not to blame.  If it was in the UK then possibly, however they have no knowledge of the geography of where they were staying, how could they possibly hide a body in an area that was not familiar to them.  The whole area has been searched and still nothing. Unless they had help, it is extremely unlikely they are to blame.  I don't agree with the fact they left the Kids on there own, but no way are they to blame. It is crazy that they have even been named as suspects ( In my opinion ).

From the end of the BBC news article I just read:

A British sniffer dog picked up the scent of a dead body in the apartment and samples, including suspected traces of blood, have been recovered from the scene.

so they find traces of Madeline's blood in a hire car 25 days after her disappearance, hired by her parents, tests carried out in GB, coincidence?
