I think this has been suggested before but Have the Potuguese Police tracked the history of the vehicle from the time that Maddie disappeared ?
Some-one may have hired the car before or at that time and coincidentally the McCann's hired the same vehicle 25 days later....long shot I know but needs investigating.

TW and Jay

Exactly, so why have they not spent every penny in the fund hiring teams of investigators to look for Madeleine or to immediately discount wild leads?

Joan,was just about to post much the same question! re the hire car and who had it before them,but feel certain that the hire firm would have been rushing to provide that info whoever it implicated....unless of course .......?!

IF, and I say IF the McCanns are charged and found guilty, I am sure there will be more people also charged.

Yes Maddie Moo
The Telegraph say's!

I'm not getting into any kind of argument and i'm just saying that DNA is a very sensitive and complicated issue. Until the specifics are made public all we can do is speculate and have an opinion!

As i said before i cannot make up my mind, but do find the pictures (of the buggies) in my opinion prove nothing.

yeah but joan dna is dna-don't matter who hired the car prior to the mcanns-

the dna won';t match will it and if it did then maddies dna was found prior to her going missing don't make sense to me?

Another theory being bandied about is who else actually drove the hire car, particularly when the McCanns were out of Portugal?

The way I see it all this information is coming from unknown sources who apparently give the press "information"

There are so very few facts in any of this only guesswork and opinions.

Maddie has disappeared, no factual evidence of how when or why, let alone who did what.

With respect to other peoples views, I really don't understand how anyone can decide that anybody is guilty of killing her, let alone speculate on how her body was disposed of.

Until an official from the police appears with proof of exactly what happened I am keeping an open mind and refuse to condemn anyone.

Yes, they did leave their children in the apartment, but repeating that over and over doesn't make them killers.

I think I have worked out the buggy theory re looking at the photo's I think it is very far fetched. But then again IF the Mcanns are found Guilty - hasnt the whole Maddie appeal been far fetched?

I do hope there is some concrete evidence soon and the little girl can be put to rest.

Janet in Yorkshire

Janet in Yorkshire Report 10 Sep 2007 21:59

Kitty,
I don't think anyone considers that the child was "murdered" in the apartment. Whilst there may be theories that she may have died there, but not of natural causes, I don't think anyone believes there was any actual intent. The reports of police questioning do not suggest murder.

Jay

Maddiecow Report 10 Sep 2007 22:01

I agree with Janet - I dont think she was 'murdered' in the apartment and dont think anyone has actually suggested that she was.

I've found the subtext of this whole thread positively surreal. You can manufacture every imaginable theory from partial evidence; and, partial evidence is all that is available.

Sorry if I am repeating what may have already been said but if it was an accidental death due to over sedation then where does the blood traces come from? A body doesn't bleed as a result of overdose.
