Gerry Maghan has now been made an official suspect aswell.
It wouldn't suprise me if it was them to be honest...the big publicity to make them look innocence...her crying because she's guilty and things..*shrugs*
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
Hmm, I find it interesting it's only when the police accuse them of being a suspect that everyone starts to agree they are. I honestly don't know either way but I can understand why they suspect them with the whole blood thing.
It’s not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys,
Sinners can surprise you and the same is true for saints.
Why do we try to define people with simply good or simply evil?
Because no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart and that anyone is capable of anything.

Nah, I've been arguing with my family since it happened that they did it.
i said they had something to do with it when it all started.
if that was me i would be crying alday an night and i wouldn't be able to go on tv and not cry, i think that it worrying.
ive been saying she is dead for a long time, i know its a horrible tin to say but its been too long now.
the police over there are very relexed so if they did hind her body i think they would hve got away with it.
its sick if they are involved.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.

It's very easy to speculate on cases such as this, especially when no-one knows any facts other than what the papers have reported.
The facts in the public domain, as I see them, are that this girl went missing on 3rd May and hasn't been seen since. Everything else is opinion and lurid speculation. How one can deduce that the parents did it, it was professional kidnappers, it was the bloke down the street, whether she's dead or alive etc etc from what's actually known about the case is completely beyond me.
What I want to know is, why does one little girl get all the media attention when there are so many other children who are/have gone missing?
Because she's from a respectable, white middle class family. If she was the daughter of a black single mum from Toxteth it would have been no more than a brief article in the national press. Sad but true.
That and the fact that her parents are media whores.

Very much so. The only news we hear is from the media, and to be completely honest, that isn't exactly the most honest of sources. The police are bound to know a lot more than they are letting on, and most stories that we hear of the situation will be at least a little biased.
As I see it, the Portugese police are under a lot of pressure to find out what happened with poor Madeline, as the story is so much in the public eye. As a result, they're going down routes that they perhaps wouldn't have gone down if it wasn't so publicised. The media is doing it's usual frenzy, after all, they just need to sell papers - so, it's looking through all of the possible footage or information, putting two and two together to make nine. As long as it sells papers, who cares if it's accurate or not.
I don't know the facts, and I don't want to speculate as to whether or not it was them. However, I just hope, for the family, that some sort of outcome is reached, and it's the right outcome.

This was something interesting found on the internet by a member of another forum I visit..
"they first said they checked on the children every half hour but their friends and bar staff say they didn't leave their seats once since leaving their children at 7pm until finding maddie missing at 10pm.
they said the shutters were jammed open, yet it was later realised the shutters were broken already (now if you were on holiday with three toddlers and the window shutters were broken, wouldn't you tell the staff and ask for them to be fixed, if not for the safety of your children but because you leave your personal belongings in the room) and they must have noticed the shutters were broken on arrival, so why did Gerry say they were jammied after Maddie went missing?
Gerry said the door was forced open, yet it was later realised they left the doors unlocked "incase of fire" so if they purposely left the door unlocked, why say it was forced open by the abductor?
when Maddie was found missing it was reported that kate ran back to the table and said "they've taken her" why say "they?" it's a bit strange, wouldn't you just say "she's gone" or "maddies missing"
when she ran back to report maddie missing to her friends, she left the twins alone in the room again, now if one of your children went missing, would you really leave your 2 babies alone again to go tell people the other one has gone? obviously she wondered off or someone took her so why leave the twins alone again????
when asked by the german reporter if they had any involvement in the abduction, the pair seemed very calm about that question and had an almost scripted reply!
lastly they have seemed very cool through out this whole thing, i would safely say i'd need sedating if my son went missing! and the couple only decided they needed "time to grieve" after the german reporter insuanted their involvement in anything suspicious."
Firstly, the whole fact she got all the media attention really quite annoyed me, i mean if i was a parent and my child went missing and there was no fuss made and i see another missing child plastered all over the papers and news getting prayers from the pope and what not, i would be SERIOUSLY annoyed.
The blood was found in a car they rented 25 days after she went missing.
In all honesty i believe they were part of it.
I think she has died somehow (That, i don't know and don't even want to begin to speculate) And i think it could also be accidental. But then the parents have hidden her and reported it. Where, i also don't know.
It's a very hard thing to really talk about because obviously the parents ARE innocent until proven guilty and if they are innocent it is terrible to even think it's them. But i personally do.
There's just soemthing not right with them. At all..
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
After reading articles in the newspaper about it, I'm coming to believe that they were involved somehow.
But it never occured to me before. Tis all very strange....

Reason: Adding the other quote
I also agree what has been said about the class issue. If that wasnt a middle class family social services would be investigating and crawling all over them for leaving small children alone.
