I'm of the opinion that the people who took her are not the people who have her right now, I believe they were just middle men who go out and do the dirty work and then sell the victims onto someone. It's quite possible they kidnapped her, took her to the beach and someone in a boat sped off to an unknown location. If the kids were sedated, as has been suggested in this thread (there was no mention of that in the Crimewatch report that I noticed but I'm assuming that it's been reported somewhere else?) then Madeleine wouldn't have even put up a struggle, she could well have been asleep the entire time if she'd been drugged by her parents.

Just a combination of sloppy negligent parenting and awful, tragic coincidence.

Zee I honestly think if she was a worst case scenario type of person then there is no way at all she would have left her children in that apartment by themselves, she would know of the dangers of leaving them alone like that.

Running to the restaurant and shouting they have taken her is a really odd thing to do imo even if she was in shock.
