Madeline - update

Has anyone bothered to think that the media may have sealed Madeline MaCann's fate?

Regardless of who took her or why she was abducted, let's just assume it was a random kidnapping. If you were a kidnapper and trying to sell a young kid into the sex industry or slave trade, and her picture was all over the news, you know that no-one is going to touch them with a barge pole. The cheapest and safest thing to do is to 'dispose' of them. So the media involvement may have actually caused her death - if she is dead. Something to think about...

On another Madeline tack...even if the parents are guilty, they will never be found guilty in this country as the public (advised by the media and the police) seem to think it is impossible.
There are many things that don't add up and should be investigated with an open mind - the twins were sedated - why? There was a babysitting service available but they chose to leave 3 kids under 4 years old alone - why? There was a 2 hour gap between checks on the kids, then 2 checks in 20 minutes (if news reports are to be believed) - why?
On their side, the DNA evidence the Portuguese police is weak - the blood spots in the car are an 82% match - for DNA that is weak - you would expect it be high 90's.
Then you have the 'feeling' that you get about a case. Something just doesn't seem right...

I am happy to keep an open mind - for the moment. As long as ALL authorities do. So if a council tenant goes our for dinner one evening and checks on their kid every 2 hours, that should be fine then.
