I just don't think your average chancing burglar would risk the bother. Just looting for any valuables they'd move onto somewhere else that may be empty.

Just a hard situation to find plausible.

They possibly slipped in thinking it was empty, were disturbed by Madeleine and panicked, thinking the whole family was there and high tailed it out of there with her body in tow once they realised they'd just murdered her, their thinking wouldn't have been clear... if that's even what happened. I'd give it credibility because of the cadaver dogs detecting the scent of death in the room.
