Well my belief is that they either overdosed her accidentally on sedatives. Or she had a fall/accident while they were out. They panicked on finding her dead, and there comes this abduction story.

There wouldn't have been a difference in their behaviour as at the time they were with friends, they didnt know anything was wrong. If that makes sense.

..yeah it does make sense, that they didn't 'discover' until after dinner when they went back...I'm not sure I'm convinced by the 'overdose/sedative' theory because they're both doctors and would know how much to give her...I also don't believe that they would first decide to give her it in a foreign country just so they could have dinner with friends, unless they had done it before and knew it to be 'safe' and that she wouldn't wake up...also, I don't think the younger ones had any traces of it in them, surely they would have tested for that if that was their theory...because why just give it to Madeleine...and the fall part, well yeah that could happen that she woke up but again, they would know the right dose so she didn't and even then to conceal her body somewhere, where it hasn't been found and do the 'someone's taken her' bit seems just too 'cold/calculated' for two ordinary people whose daughter had just died...

I don't think they killed her, either accidentally or otherwise. In any situation, the simplest explanation is often the correct one. If they were going to concoct an abduction story, why create one that makes them look like terrible parents?

Because it would obviously have came out that they did leave the kids alone so they could get pissed? As people would have seen them all out..

..I just remembered one of the things I thought was a little 'odd'...not about the night she went missing but the part I saw of tonight's interview with them...when they said that the time they felt her absence most was at 'family gatherings/birthdays..'...I get that completely and the first few years are difficult but in a way you kind of know that's going to happen so you build and strengthen your emotions for it and it's still hard and sad and that person is very much missed...but the time that I think and feel a loss most is those things you don't expect..just everyday things..something someone says/something you watch on TV/the way a certain person says something etc..and it can remind you/bring associations that almost floor you because you didn't see it coming...do you know what I mean..?...if we're talking about what 'expected behaviour' would be..not you and I but in general in this case...that's what I as a parent/daughter would 'expect' them to have said....
