The McCann - surely not?

[Adam]

How could two Doctors be capable of such a thing? Okay so you could argue that we had a bunch recently who decided to blow up variously places, but surely two doctors killing their own child?

As much as am led to believe, I don't think Mr & Mrs McCann killed their daughter. Although they've been half way around the world, which may seem odd - but sometimes its a way of coping.

I however don't approve of leaving anyone not capable of looking after themselves alone on their own. I mean anything could happen.

I refuse to really acknowledge anymore of this case, its just the media causing more problems for the family. They are coming home now as suspects; that must be an awful feeling for them both.

The Police have no other leads, so what else do they do - point the finger at the parents. I'm sure the truth will be out soon. If they have killed her, it'd be a tragic lost for all. The twins etc, that fact they have spent so long with their careers, the friends they will lose etc. People will never forgive them and the world pretty much knows who they are?

I may be wrong about this, but wasn't blood evidence found that supports the theory of (at least one of) the parents being involved?

[Aimee]

to me i think the parents did do it, but no intentionally, apparently police found a syringe at their apartment (or in their things i cant remember) which would back the polices theory that they sedated the kids with something, (which would be easy to obtain as they are doctors) possibly so they could go out and have dinner without having to worry if the kids would wake up, but then it went wrong with Maddie. It would explain why know one has seen anything of her. Also like Console said, blood evidence was found in their hire car, which they had hired after Maddie was reported missing. Doesnt make sense. If it is true, its a kick in the face for all the thousands of people around the world who have plighted for her safe return and rasied lots of money. I dont think the public will be very forgiving towards them. But thats my view, i may be wrong.

I said to my mam 3 months ago when the press started all the media attention into this and my predictions were right sadly
the only reason that they are now suspects is not cause of the media but the new evidence that has shown that something did happen that night when she disappeared

innocent till proving guilty of course but there is a story there that we don't know about and does point the finger at her parents whether it was intentional or not maddie's parents are to blame

[Riz]

Ive never liked these two parents from the start. I didnt assume they were guilty from the beginning, i just thought there was something a bit off.

After 4 months of ramming this case down our throats, theyve now decided they want privacy. I wonder why.

I cant come to a definite conclusion about this, but i do believe they had some involvement. Whether it was an accident or what, who knows. Did they create all this unnecessary media attention to throw polive off the tracks? How could someone possibly have kidnapped that girl and not let ANYONE see her? And washing the girls cuddly toy? That mother would have known full well not to touch anything incase of vital evidence.

I dont like the parents, and i dont like the fact this case has been singled out from all the other kids that go missing every day. I hope for their sake theyre not guilty, the amount of support from all over the world they had was huge.

Exactly, loads of children go missing everyday in this country, how come their parents dont have the same kind of help ie tv appeals, headline news stories etc, they had? Its not fair and even more unfair if they did do it.

[Terrier]

I think at this point it's too early to say, we don't have the full facts and there has been no trial, so I try to keep an open mind. The fact they're doctors really means nothing, lets not forget our worst serial killer was a doctor.

It's possible they did it (more than likely accidental if so), I read the news of the world today and they were trying to debunk the forensic evidence with one of their experts, fortunately Hayley my fiancée was with me who has a first class degree in forensic science read the article and said it was all rubbish and the alleged evidence does stand up.

It's also possible they didn't and they're telling the truth. I mean would a deeply religious couple seek an audience with with pope if they knew they were guilty?

We just don't know. I just hope somehow it turns out she's still alive but in reality it's unlikely now.

There's nothing good about this story :(

[John]

a) If said evidence was found in hire car weeks after Maddie went missing, how can they both argue against this? Hire car could of previously been used by kidnapper before their use?

b) If they had moved Maddie using the hire car, you're telling me Police/Press would not of seen them do this?

... = me totally confused.

[Ali]

I've always wonder why this particular case got such attention. But, this look like a grim situation, i don't know what to think anymore.

[Terrier]

Blood evidence in the car could have been transferred from one of the parents or something else that the girl had contact with rather than just from her, you have to remember just because it's blood doesn't mean it's from anything more sinister than from a grazed knee or something like that.

On the other hand the people that claim "if a body was put in the trunk it would be riddled with DNA evidence" are also wrong as if a body was placed in a sealed air-tight bag for example there might be little to no DNA evidence left behind.

This is why I say it's far too early to tell at this point.

[Ailsa]

Firstly, they've said it was bodily fluids, not blood and secondly, there's only an 88% match of DNA to Maddie so it's not conclusive evidence anyway.

[Q]

Even so, I think if I was part of the investigation, finding any fluids with any possibility of a match would definately need investigating much further, and sway me more in the direction of them not telling the whole truth.

i think there is so much that is being kept from the public - look at the way we judge people over here it is appalling. People saying 'they definitely did it' or 'the definitely didn't do it' who are we to judge either way? We have no real evidence about the case, only the bits the media present to us. We don't know everything the officials know and are aware of. I think we should let them do their job and wait for the verdict.

[nood]

From day 1 my other half thought the parents did it. If it's true the public will hate them.

Very true, who are we to judge when we sure don't have all the facts. And what we do have is fed to us via the media circus. Either way, our curiosity does kill the proverbial cat every time. Just a shame this case (as portrayed by the media) has moved in to this phase - less emphasis on finding this poor child. :(

[Lurkio]

less emphasis on finding this poor child. :(

Sadly this poor child will NEVER be found and we'll NEVER know what happened.

[Ellie]

Yup, it's going to be one of those crimes which never gets solved. Or if it does get solved it'll be in 20 years or so.

I think the parent's did it though.

[Nina Cupcake]

Sadly this poor child will NEVER be found and we'll NEVER know what happened.

That's what I was thinking.

Something's off, we don't know what, it's just a tragedy that a young girl had to suffer.

[tamba]

I have thought that the family have had something to do with this from the start as their behavour has been very odd. They say how could the McCanns keep calm if they did it, but does a heart surgeon not have to be calm because of his profession and it has alway been Mr McCann doing the talking. This is very sad and do not think we will ever know what truefully happened.
