This is purely speculation, but this is what I suspect happened...
How many parents would leave a child just shy of 4 years old and a 2 year old alone in an apartment? Not only is it seriously neglectful, It couldn't practically be done. One or both wouldn't sleep soundly enough to be left. One or both would wake up and be distressed - assuming they'd go to sleep in the first place! Any parent will tell you this.
Now, there is a way around that little problem, given that both parents are doctors, and that is to drug the children so that they are unconscious and therefore freeing the McCanns to go out and play.
Obviously, drugs can be very dangerous and here I suspect Madeleine was either given an accidental overdose or she had a reaction to the drug that resulted in her death.
After that it's all down to the McCanns lying to cover it up.

The only accident I can think of that could cause death in a child that age, falling on her head and breaking her neck, choking on something, could happen while you are there asleep.

Just because they're doctors and would have a huge income between them is irrelevant. You don't know what personal debt the couple had, mortgage payments etc etc. So too basically state that because they're doctors and should have plenty of disposable income too pay for a nanny is a bit short sighted imo

I rek'n he did pretty well to get that pic...
I mean, if indeed this is a stolen child I doubt the person would so openly let a photo be taken..
i think the kid looks to chubby and young to be her, ... a miracle if it leads to something..
I've always thought the child died while they were at the bar, they buried the body so they wouldnt get done for neglect.. and now they have to keep acting whenever a sighting comes up.

This subject is a tough one.
I myself have a 2 year old daughter. I would NEVER leave her alone in a hotel room, and I'm an unemployed man who has HALF the intelligence her parents (two doctors) are meant to have.
This is what I don't get. They are obviously intelligent human beings, so why would they leave their daughter in a hotel room in Portugal, with her two younger siblings? Something doesn't add up.
I personally believe she was killed, by accident. Whether it was something maddie did whilst she was unsupervised, or they did (just my opinion as there's no proof obviously) but the search for Maddie is a charade to cover their tracks. Like I said they are obviously two intelligent people who could, if needed, partake in a charade of searching for their daughter, whilst covering over any wrong doing they may or may not of done themselves.
I'm not alone in thinking they may (or may not) of killed/covered up their daughters death, this survey says it all ---
www.helium.com...
I hope that someday she is found alive and is reunited with her family, but I fear that this will never happen.

Well, If it was me?
Id just wrap the body up in sheets, blankets what ever I could. Id put it in th washing machine. I would NOT turn it on. I would then open the phone book or internet and look for the nearest bunnings/hardware store.. I would chose a few in the area and slowing buy plastic tarp, bleach, some deoderiser, gaffa tape, 2 shovels. id pay cash. if i had to id get a cab... on the way back I would stop at a car rental place get a car for 1 week and ask about camping area's, scenic drives, day trips etc etc...
return to house wrap body, gaffa tape it, make it a solid cocoon. place in bath tab. shut door
spend every minute scrubbing the house with amonia, bleach, brushes..
burn the clothes I was wearing at the time.
wait until 2/3am, body into car, pretend 'camping' bags packed.. go for a long drive...
scout out a number of places, go for a hike one night.. and come back 1 item lighter.
remember you get caught your life is over.. i think you'd have enough resolve to figure it out as you went along.

They did a lousy job of investigating from the very beginning. The man they questioned that was there at the time has refused to cooperate. Red flags all around this person. I guess we have to wait until another child disappears around this person before something is done. Just like what happened with the Natalie Hollaway case.
