If she has survived and had been trafficked to good people who loved her and cared for her, that would be a different story.

I don't know. As absolutely horrendous as it is - there are many survivors of people trafficking and they can (with a lot of help) recover and live full lives. They're never going to be the same person they would have been, but it doesn't mean they can't live a happy and fulfilling life. Obviously anyone would rather believe that she died that night than that she was taken for a period of time and STILL died later, but if they have genuine hope that she could still bo out there I understand clinging to it.
That said, I do have to add that I personally believe that the McCanns know for a fact she died there in Praia Da Luze. I'd be very, very surprised if this latest development comes to anything.
