I think the villification of the McCanns is despicable. I can't imagine what it must be like to not know what has happened to your child for three long years, and to actually be suspected in being involved in her disappearance! The way it was handled by the Portugese police was disgraceful and the Police Chief in charge had his own xenophobic agenda, even trying to sell a sleazy book citing all sorts of groundless accusations.

Who knows if Madeleine is still alive? I would like to think so as the alternative, that she was the victim of a paedophile, is too horrendous to contemplate. If I were her mum I would still be looking and trying to keep her case high profile.
