    I think we all know the story behind these two, and their poor young daughter Madeline - still "missing" since 2007.

    Of course we've all seen the Youtube videos and whatnot regarding "theories" about them, and seen their own interviews and stories etc.

    As far s I'm concerned, there is definitely something about them - particularly the mother.

    I genuinely believe they know what really happened. I can imagine an accident happened and they have been obfuscating it ever since.

    Cun** the pair of them, somethin is no right. Only because their Doctors and played the media that their no banged up for child neglect. Get the woman in a room on her own and she would break like a twig.

    Aye, so this is their friend that was there that night, claimed she saw a person walking away with a child.

    So firstly she says she saw the person in the distance, first thing that she thought was the "person" couldn't have been a Brit on holiday (because they normally wear shorts etc), and that the "person" was wearing a jacket. Soon after she says it was a cold night in Portugal and that SHE was wearing a jumper?????

    Then, watch the video for the ridiculous *possible* Freudian slip...

    Far too many inconsistencies with their stories and the fact the cadaver dog made a positive identification numerous times in the apartment shows there's more to the story than what they've told.

    Kate came out and stated they would be willing to take a lie detector test to prove their innocence, weeks later when the Portuguese authorities agreed they refused. An absolute bluff that was called out.

    That said in order to secure a prosecution for murder there needs to be more than just the circumstantial evidence that is in the public domain at the moment. For that reason I think it's impossible to say with certainty they murdered her but they certainly know more than they're letting on!

    I don't know a lot about it, but from the small amount I've read, I think they were responsible for Madeleine's death.

    None of their shyte adds up for me.

    * should have been banged to rights and charged with neglect * day after it happened.

    Whether they had a direct hand in the actual kidnapping/murder/runaway case or not, their negligence is the sole reason it's happened they are as culpable as any alleged murderer/kidnapper and should be sentenced as a one.

    This is a question for any other parents on here.

    Say you were unfortunate enough to be in a position where your child had been "abducted" from your holiday home whilst vacationing in another country - how many of you would EVER have left that country until you had found your child?

    I know for one I'd still be there this day, trapsing up and down the streets searching for her.

    Not swanning off around the world doing interviews for the Beeb, appearing on Oprah, doing * charity cycle rides and certainly wouldn't be back living in England, back at work and attempting to (quoting Gerry) living a "NEW NORMAL" life.

    Pair of * scumbags which ever way you look at it, in my humble opinion.

    Well if they're guilty of nothing else they're at least guilty of neglect and by * they're paying the price.....must be absolute * on earth. The closest option for me was 'undecided' and i probably lean on the innocent side. I haven't really followed it since the time but until there's some hard evidence either way i'm on the fence. I just can't get my head around the fact they could continue this pretence for so long!! What did stick in ma craw a bit was them saying at the time that they were just doing what 1000's of people do every year.....leave their kids unsupervised!!!....ehhhh, wft??.....not in my circles but maybe that's what the well-to-do get away with?? Yeah, they've used every one of their high end connections but so would i to be honest.

    They needed to leave and appear on Lorraine, Oprah etc. to deflect attention from them and their part in Madelines disappearance and onto the cops handling of the case. Head cop was onto them.

    the likes of most of us on here, yeah you're probably right! In fact, no probably about it but that shoudn't influence your opinion of the actual abduction (if there was one) or not.

    Based on nothing other than my gut feeling, I think the only thing they are guilty of is negligence.

    They are guilty of negligence, of that there is no doubt.


    For anyone who says they are guilty of murder, show me the evidence that points towards it ?

    and this is it in a nutshell!! This case, for me, told us a lot about the society we find ourselves in these days. For me, i was uncomfortable with this hang 'em high attitude just because folk didn't like the look of them as opposed to the move along now nothing to see here....that would be far too boring!!

    Oh and by the way, i haven't forgotten a 4y old went missing here and is the biggest victim due to her parents negligence and arrogance!!

    Firstly I don't think they murdered the bairn. Something has happened in the room while these 2 selfish * have been sitting having a meal/drinks. When they discovered this they have panicked and have covered it up together. I think one of them may have used a sedative to make the kids sleep and this has backfired.
    Imo they should have been charged with child neglect as there is plenty of evidence of that.
    Anyway the upshot is they know the answers.

    On the subject of them being "bad" because they have left the country while I cant remember how long they stayed after it happened I don't think they packed up and cleared out after a week did they ? For a whole host of reasons them staying on, long term, would have been impractical and made little difference tbh so I don't count that against them if that makes sense.
