The truth is Kaz, I have absolutely no idea what happened to Maddie. What we do know is that the Portuguese police wanted it to be the parents, or tried to make a case for it at least, and they didn't move them past suspects to a point where they could ever be charged, and that can only be for one reason - lack of evidence.
If a highly motivated police force in a high profile case had absolutely nothing on them being involved in her murder/accidental death (depending on individual point of views), then I fail to see how anyone of us can start implying that we know more, or be amazed at a series of links provided in this thread, when quite often the links are from biased sources and can be discredited. Those dogs are the biggest standout example of that to me.
Josy posted a link a couple of days ago to some information I asked her about, and that seems very suspicious on the surface, but the link was down and I haven't had chance to read it yet, so I will go back, look at that information, but then I'll follow that up by trying to find another perspective.
I have no skin in this game, I don't know them and I never will. This situation could theoretically happen to any of us, be it directly, or through siblings or friends, and I'd like to think that the rule of innocent until proven guilty still stands.
I wouldn't want any of my family or friends being tried on twitter or the internet. They may well turn out to be guilty, I don't know. It wont be because of any information provided in this thread though, as far as I can tell.
If it does turn out to be them, then I can hold my hands up and say I was wrong - it's a lot easier to do that because I haven't been "researching" for 6 years. I think people on the internet have invested so much energy into the cover up/murder/accidental death angle, that I'm not sure what evidence could ever convince them otherwise.
So yeah, it is a suspicious case and I really understand that, but if you take a step back, and work out exactly what needs to have gone into the cover up for it to happen successfully, then I don't see how that is possible in a foreign country with a frenzied search going on. It defies basic logic to me.
