No idea. I'm not big on polygraph tests. Only seen them used in fiction.

Possibly. In my own mind if I was in this situation being accused I would want to do everything I possibly could to prove I’m innocent. I think there behaviour at the beginning of the investigation was very suspicious and the fact that they refused to answer a lot of questions in the investigation, for me just confirms my suspicions of them even more.

Get them on Jezza kyle he'll find out the truth!

Gerry being told to stick something on the end of it so that they'd never have had a kid to lose?

I just wanted to say that for many years I thought Kate and Gerry were innocent and I was swayed into this theory for a short while after additional reading on the case. However, I do actually believe they are innocent now and unlike some people I think the police may have found their guy!

I agree with this. He was living in the resort, he had a history of being a predatory paedophile, he liked little girls... I am not shocked that this would have come as a surprise to the Portuguese police.

I am surprised this has taken so long to come out considering how "obvious" it now seems in hindsight.

Me too...

Known the information for years and suddenly NOW they're prosecuting to tie up not just Maddie's but several other missing children's cases?

Convenient.

Maybe they have only just pieced it altogether :shrug:

I think the parents drugged the kids so they wouldn’t wake up and accidentally overdosed madeline which killed her and then they got rid of the body to cover their tracks

I doubt it considering Amaral predicted this man would be arrested over a year ago.

:hmph:

What do you believe happened to Madeleine McCann?
 

Did they not have an autopsy ?

An autopsy on a child who's been missing for 13 years and has still not been found?

I-

:joker:

I know you said you haven't followed the case closely but surely you know that she is still a missing child so therefore no body = no autopsy

Lol...I think you need to do some research...:laugh:

What do you believe happened to Madeleine McCann?
 

Oops

I’m tired and super stressed .. slight oversight :)

Brain fart, it's okay haha

Anyway, I go over and back most times about what happened but I think I generally lean more towards it just being an absolute crazy ****-up by her parents and she was abducted, the case went too worldwide and she was killed by the abducter.
There was some creepy dude caught in someone's apartment close by around the time it happened, think that was on some documentary I watched but it's been a while.
I understand why people would think her parents had something to do with it, I did before too but I just don't think they'd still be going on about it so many years later if they killed her.
Also crazy her parents haven't got done in some way for neglect

Maybe the guilt they have to live with is punishment enough.

Maybe, but if I was overcome with the guilt of killing my daughter I wouldn't be able to keep bringing it up in the public eye every year

I don’t believe they did kill their daughter...but their actions of negligence resulted in her demise. They bring it up every year because they just want to keep the appeal alive in case she is still out there somewhere...you can’t blame them for that...and now they might finally get their answers and have some closure.

Absolutely agree!

I think her parents were completely neglectful idiots who thought it was okay to leave 3 babies home alone so they could go out and socialise. I don’t think they did anything to her. Them being doctors would know more than most people about what kind of meds to give kids to make them sleep... I highly doubt they would ‘accidentally overdose’ her. That one has always made me lol... it seems stupid to me.

What I really think is that she was kidnapped by a pedophile and eventually killed. Whether it’s this German guy or not, who knows. I definitely think it would have been someone who was watching them the whole time and waiting for the chance to strike. Sick, but unfortunately there’s people like that in the world. I wish the absolute worst for them.

Yes
very sad case

Could be plausible considering they left the children alone several nights, so I imagine many people around would have noticed they left the kids and maybe took it in turns to check on them so knew when to strike.

Exactly. And if someone like this suspect had been living at the site, He could easily have been waiting for the right moment for a really long time.

He could have easily! Loads of crap parents looking for a dig out

I'm just going to go to bed and you all can play good/bad parents with each other, good night

until a body is found we will never know with any certainty what happened to her. Either way, i hold the parents ultimately responsible and always will

What? :laugh:

This case is such a tragic one with no conclusions and years of confusion and clouding the water being seemingly enacted.

I've held differing views myself and was persuaded by points on here to look nearer home of Madeleine's life, for blame.

As you indicate we may never find out what really happened to her.

However, nothing could have happened, if at least one Parent even had stayed with all the children.
So like you, I hold the view the parents were responsible for whatever was Madeleine's tragedy by whoever.

They may well be haunted by this loss of Madeleine and feel genuinely devastated.
They never needed to be however, had they just made sure their children were safe and secure.

At home or anywhere else.

Good post Joey, and I agree

Accidental death due to the parent's negligence which they then proceeded to cover up.

Sky News just reported that one of the holiday complex’s waiters apparently tipped off the suspect .. gave him details of when and how long the McCann’s were leaving their kids alone !!!

That would be no surprise...the staff would have been very aware of the groups pattern every night.
