Crucially, however, the apartment was not initially treated as a crime scene, meaning around 20 people went in and out before it was sealed off, contaminating potential evidence. Roadblocks were not put in place until 10am the next day, border guards were not informed for hours and Interpol did not put out a global missing persons alert for five days.

It meant that the most crucial time of any missing persons investigation – the first 24 hours – was largely squandered

So much incorrect information.
You might find reading the PJ files http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/ more helpful than the litigious McCanns allowed "versions", via the threatened British media. On the subject of the police files. Did they use public donations from their lucrative "Company", not a charity, for this?

The police weren't called until 10.40 by a Warner employee, not the McCanns or any of their friends. They arrived at the resort within 10 to 15 minutes. The McCanns and several people they allowed into the apartment and the bedroom before the police arrived at their apartment all contaminated the scene. The police sealed it off.

What would you do if your 3 year old was missing as they claimed? Most parents would immediately search and carry on searching. Her not bothering was well known at the time. In this their first BBC interview she's asked one simple question, did she as a mother ever just think she might like to get out and search for her own missing child. Not, did she get out and search. Her answer, not physical searching but they were busy.
The McCanns Did Not Physically Search for Madeleine

Why wouldn't parents search for their "missing" helpless child?

They instead chose to stay in the apartment with their friends and focus on far more important issues. Like McCanns deleting all but one call log and all texts from both phones covering their entire time in Portugal. Now why would anyone want or need to do that?
