How Did Madeleine McCann Vanish Into Thin Air? Criminal Experts Analyse Infamous Missing Child Case

I am Portuguese and I find it fascinating how some details are never discussed in international media. They drugged their kids and left them alone. The hotel wasn't as close to the restaurant as most of them want us to believe. The parents refused to answer questions when interrogated. Their friends screw the crime scene just by being there. And it became political. So, even if Portuguese police made some mistakes, the parents, the media and the influential friends they had didn't help at all. Because, if the parents were Portuguese, they would have been arrested and charged. I am sorry for that little girl, because she is the only one who I know is truly innocent on all of this.

Gerry is a Mason. The police are Masons. Gordon Brown is a Mason. Either the police & PM covered up or they didn’t want to believe the McCann parents were involved. They definitely protected the McCanns. I think a sedative was given because Madeleine had previously wandered off & had cried out when left alone & due to her being dehydrated it lowered her heart & lung function enough to cause death. The parents probably didn’t realise as they were getting ready to go out, but probably found her just too late to revive her just before they left or during one of the early checks. I think Gerry was the one who found her dead & hid her body. Kate was never told where Madeleine was buried so that she could not slip up in interviews. I suspect Kate administered the sedative & Gerry hid her body. Or both gave her a sedative & caused the overdosing. Because their collusion is so complete. My views are based on early interviews with the McCanns.

They are doctors, if they wanted to murder their child why not use medicines that could not be traced? They are not experts at breaking into apartments and leaving no clues for the police. How could they dispose of a body in a foreign country on holiday? They had no motive to kill their child either. Use your common sense. Paedophiles don't break into apartments. This was a kidnapping "to order" by some wealthy person who wanted to replace a child who had died. It cost money to do it so professionally, not a trace of evidence.

This was/is the case with Eddie and Keela and their world famous handler Martin Grime who provided a breakthrough in the Madeleine disappearance case and her DNA could be secured! (a fact that no one in the world can deny, despite the McCanns pathetic response that Eddie and Keela were supposedly unreliable?)

[@christinewilson1538]

As a retired police officer, I point out that your criticism of the Portuguese police is unfounded; if a child is reported missing in the UK the initial officer(s) must search the building and outbuildings to make sure the child is not hiding or injured within the boundaries of the home - they do not treat it as a crime, unless they see something to suspect that, and the Portuguese police saw no cause to think a crime had been committed because the parents originally said the door was left unlocked and Madeline was missing - not taken (they later changed their story to the door was locked and someone had taken her...even though there was no evidence of forced entry).

[@thomasreed49]

Why does this panel not consider possibility of the McCanns having something to do with this crime. It looks to me as if the purpose of this program has been to protect The McCanns. One of the guest stated Scotland Yard had to go back to Portugal I think it was a year later to re-investigate the abduction because the Portuguese please haven’t done it properly. But there was no evidence of an abduction their focus was on The McCanns were there was plenty of evidence pointing in the direction. This may not be two tier Policing but it is two tier investigating. There they repeatedly talk about other suspects but the McCanns are the suspects. Body else has earned the right to be a suspect.

If we had left our 3 children alone at night and gone for a meal at our local pub literally a stones throw from our house im pretty sure social services would be involved and we would be accused of neglect ..Rightly so ..These parents screwed up big time ..Disgusting leaving babies home alone in a foreign country aswell 🤬🤬

[@susanspencer4075]

I have always felt from day one the parents lied through their teeth. Ask any parent of three toddlers, you would not leave them in a flat alone with no adult keeping their toddlers safe. We all know toddlers wake up, have falls, get into something they should not. These parents refused the babysitting service on site, and it's said these two doctors medicated there children. This case has always stunk to me everyone who investigated came to the same conclusion, no abduction. I got that the father was in the club, hence the involvement of prime minister of the UK and others. Ask yourselves did Ben Needham who disappeared on the island of kos get prime ministers, coverage by world media, millions from UK gov for finding there child, no, does it still get publicity no, so what's the difference, I also believe bruekner is a fall guy and another reason the deep state involved and an typical fall guy found to close the case. Still not convinces.Ask yourselves why does every investigator come to the same conclusion no abduction took place. Watch the deception detectives these parents do not tell the truth and are as guilty as sin, plus working together, notice in early interviews they were final, and closed, spoke volumes.

[@stevefowler3398]

Firstly, you have fallen into the trap of believing the McCann's story. Look at it logically. Why would they be in posession of lethal drugs? They only went for a weeks holiday, so why would they have ANY such medication? Secondly, you believe that they are doctors. They might well work in a hospital, but that does not make them doctors. Nor are they wealthy. Nor are they MIDDLE CLASS PROFESSIONALS. Next, you believe that they left their kids unattended, every night for 6 nights. I doubt that. What IS more likely though is that Madeleine died in 28th April, from a violent blow from her father. The abduction plot was put into place. But they needed help. To first hide the body, and then to dispose of it. They'd need transport. A van to carry the fridge to a safe house? Allies to give them a good reference? A priest? The pope? Then maybe a boat for a burial at sea?
