I think that there's a good chance that she's still probably alive and out there somewhere.

Also, to do with the Tapas group, would you remember the exact times? After a couple of glasses of wine I wouldn't...

i would not be surprise if she went down that storm drain

that wee boy in cyprus met a similar fate

I think I'm going to watch this this weekend.

I have so far avoided all spoilers so I don't know what happens :smug:

I sure hope Madeleine doesn't go missing :worry:

I hope you don't have children one day and one goes missing

Jesus

I'm sure if he has them he won't deliberately leave them alone... at night... in a foreign country... with an unlocked door.... with access to any stranger....

:clap1:

The Tapas 9

I'm sure you will be perfect parent

You have to be perfect to not neglect your children abroad?

:joker: Ok.

Whether you believe Maddie was abducted or not, the fact is she is gone because they neglected her. Whatever did happen, wouldn't have happened had they not done so.

Their negligence was not an accident. It was deliberate.

I'm sure you will be a perfect parent as I said before

Again, there's nothing "perfect" about the basics of not abandoning your babies abroad.

If you purposely put your baby in the middle of a road and it gets ran over, it's not asking for perfection for you to have not put your baby in that position in the first place.

Again, no accident. A DELIBERATE action.

Exactly

I genuinely dont believe for a minute ANYONE truly thinks the McCann's weren't neglectful.

It's not about Marsh, it's about the McCann's being negligent

In your opinion

What children do you have?

What do you base this on?

Ridiculous comparison

It's her opinion that this thread is about the McCann's? :laugh2:

Get better material.

Says you. Where is your proof?

Isn't everything posted here an opinion? :shrug:

Why would what children I or anyone else has prove your point in any way?

I'm basing it on the McCann's neglecting their children by leaving them alone in an unlocked apartment at night in a foreign country of course

I am a parent, far from perfect, but I have never, nor would I ever, leave my child alone in a foreign country or at home whilst I went on the piss. You do not need to have children personally to know right from wrong when dealing with kids. As a parent YOU should know that

He does know that, really.
It's just you mustn't say a word against Kate. She's too pretty for that you see :shrug:

There wasn't anything new in the show, and there was a lot of padding to stretch the episodes out. We will never know one way or another what truly happened. Maybe she's still alive and will reappear at some point (this does happen), maybe she's dead. Regardless everyone will have their own spin on the events leading to Maddie's disappearance.

The McCann case I don't know that much about (mind have read almost all of the files and thats what made up my mind, not media headlines) though was obsessed with it at one point, not watched yet and not sure if I plan to given the reactions as tbh, I genuinely cannot see how anyone could look into it all and come away convinced of the parents innocence, which is what is apparently happening. I mean, this is off a sun story right, so not posting the link but the caption...

'Madeleine McCann Netflix viewers convinced Maddie was secretly drugged by kidnapper hours before he broke into room to snatch her'

And this seems to be echoed everywhere, sorry but this is absolutely..ridiculous to me.

Documentary appears to have been mainly spin, which is unsurprising but pretty disappointing as I do tend to find netflix documentaries more..probing than most others (exceptions exist of course, but speaking geneally). 8 hours of nonsense about burglars leaving valuables and taking a dead child, and random abductors lurking in the shadows will just annoy the hell out of me, but will probably watch at some point.

Anyway, the documentary seems to have done what it was meant to, and convinced another few people that the parents had nowt to do with it. So it did its job, also probably reopened the coffers of the fund that was running dry so maybe they will have the 30k to pay Amaral now, after trying to ruin his life because he had the audacity to say he, and the police at the time, thought it was dodgy as hell. That they dared to look at the parents first, you know, like in ever child abduction/murder...parents/family are ALWAYS the first suspects, not random shadowy pedos who might have been hanging around waiting for the parents to neglect their kids again, to look away so they could drug the girl, then come back later that night to take her :umm2:

Sp yeah, not watched yet as responses sound like it would raise my blood pressure a lot. Theres a lot of odd things in this saga, but I always come back to the dogs. Those 'notoriously unreliable' highly trained dogs that everyone knows are useless and always get stuff wrong, which is of course why police use them in the first place! Along with so many of the 'they are innocent!' stories requiring so much mental gymnasics and acceptance of things that just make no sense at all (eg. the burglars accidentally killing her, then hiding her behind the sofa for a bit while they stood around arguing about what to do, then leaving cash and valuables and taking the body...umm, yeah if you say so) its unbelievable.

This might have been answered but am just replying as I see posts tbh, should read thread first...

Gerrys explanation for the dogs indication in the hire car was that they had been transporting seabass and rotten nappies in the boot and thats what the dogs picked up :rolleyes:

Also I am sure at one stage it was that the handler was biased against them and made the dogs indicate..

“The McCann case I don't know that muich about”

-proceeds to write a dissertation-

:fan:

I’d be interested to see if your opinion changes after watching it, either way
