The original story never rang true; a person or persons unknown broke into an apartment and targeted one of three available children for an abduction (but no sign of forced entry), at the same time not disturbing the other two, and in full view of the parents and, presumably, the babysitting team that the parents chose not to employ but, if they were the conscientious people that they must be, would have noticed something amiss?
If the parents aren't directly responsible, I'm still happy to put a tenner on with anyone who reckons they weren't culpable.

Having lived through the Chamberlain Case/Witch Hunt I see disturbing similarities occurring here and before it was discontinued on the BSF thread. The same thing happened with the JonBenet Case in the States. The public is being manipulated by the Muckrakers of Grovel Street; one suspect after another is being forwarded then tossed aside by people who should know better. Does anyone here claim to understand what goes through the Mind of the Criminally-Insane Pedophile? I hope not. The basic fact is: if you weren't there you don't know Jack - forget about your "Gut Feeling", your "Sixth Sense" or whatever and leave it to the professionals, no matter how Keystone Cop-like they're being portrayed, and have a little bit of compassion for the victim's family, forced to live life under a microscope. If you made a mistake would you like to have it rammed down your throat every waking minute? The McCanns will have that for the rest of their lives.

BFD, I don't know about any of the others, but I have stated that I don't know whether the McCann's are guilty of Maddie's disappearance or not, however they are involved. They made a decision to leave those children ALONE, so for that I'm afraid they are guilty of neglect. And was this just an isolated evening, or had it happened every night of their 2 week holiday.? All children are precious I know, but these 3, I would have thought would have been even more precious to their parents, and as such I agree with the others, the twins should not have been left after this very tragic event. That's my opinion, anyway.

Bigfatdave,
So you expect people not to have an opinion nor voice it. We all comment on what happens in life whether we are party to facts or not, such is human nature, and if you don't then you are indeed a very rare breed.
Nobody is "ramming" anything down the McCann's throat but their total neglect for their daughter's well being is what started this off and sorry but you nor anyone else is going to tell us that we cannot discuss something that is in the public domain!

Well said ML. It should be discussed if only to prevent other people leaving young children alone because they think it's safe to do so. BFD could I politely draw your attention to a comment you made on the Photos on the Web thread I take it you meant it to apply to all threads

I don't think Dave was trying to stop anyones free speech.
All I read into his post was its the media circus manipulating public opinion whichever way they can to sell more papers or get bigger viewing figures.
All the cases that Dave has mentioned it was the Media that stirred the pot to cause maximum interest. The Portugese police are bound by their law not to disclose any facts to the media, so the British press have been making them up, say it enough times and it becomes the truth.
We all have an opinion on the McCanns, yes they did desert their children while they went "on the piss", but anything more is speculation, no matter how many times the press repeat it.

With regards to the similarities between this and other cases, Lindy Creighton-Chamberlain was interviewed on OzTV two days ago. Here's what she had to say: (From AAP)
Portuguese police and a public hungry for the truth might derail the investigation into the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann, Lindy Chamberlain has warned.
Madeleine McCann, 3, vanished from her parents' room at a hotel in Portugal's Algarve region on May 3 as her two-year-old twin siblings slept and her parents ate at a tapas bar with friends nearby.
Lindy Chamberlain, now Chamberlain-Creighton, said there were many similarities between the McCann case and the disappearance of her daughter Azaria while on a family camping holiday to Uluru in August 1980.
Ms Chamberlain-Creighton has always insisted a dingo took nine-week-old Azaria from the family's tent.
She was convicted of Azaria's murder in 1982 amid intense public and media speculation, but was exonerated six years later.
"It's certainly looking like it (the McCann case) is having far more echoes of mine than I would wish on anybody," she told the Nine Network tonight.
"Answers are going to come from somewhere or another - whether it is the right answer is a very worrying problem."
There was immense pressure for police to solve the case, Ms Chamberlain-Creighton said.
"The public want answers, and if they haven't got them, they are going to invent them," she said.
"And the police are under pressure and have been trained to find answers.
"I certainly wouldn't want to go through it again and be in their shoes.
"There's nothing you can do, but I think as the public, we want to be careful not to run ahead."
You do the Math - Six years in jail for an innocent Sheila; convicted, hung, drawn and quartered by an insatiable Public led on by the Gutter Press eager to blame someone.
