Madeleine dies, either by by overdose or a broken neck (another theory touted by the BBC last night).

Parents or friends bury her body somewhere.

25 days later the McCanns hire a Renault Scenic to get around, continue the campaign.

Everything is going fine until day 42 when police conduct searches around Praia du Luz based on a tip off from a pyschic. Nothing however is revealed. Now I don't believe in psychics at all, but I do believe in common sense, and common sense tells us that likely Madeleine is buried somewhere around Praia du Luz. So what if the police searches around that area were a little too close for comfort for the McCanns. They realise that if the police continue or widen their search, that Madeleine may be found or be stumbled upon by a passerby as they didnt have time to properly hide the body as well as they would have liked initially because it was such a rushed job.

Ive always thought there was something that didnt add up in the Mccan case right from the start like how the parents looked so calm for saying their 4yr old daughter had just been taken amongst other things.
But what i cant understand is if it was the parents how did they manage to do it when they were out with friends all night?
When would they have had chance to dispose of the body etc?

Im not saying its not them but even with them as suspects the whole thing still doe'snt add up or is it just me?

OK, so the protesters came and went. The Police were heavy-handed. The event cost millions of dollars. John Howard apparently boosted his popularity. George Bush made his (almost predictable) glitches -- thank heavens he did'nt need to say "NUCLEAR".

But was it worth it? So far we have an aspirational agreement on climate change. There will be some inter-country agreements. Personally I think the whole thing is a GROSS waste of time and money - lots of it.

Please could you give me YOUR opinion - some well reasoned argument. Take sides, one way or the other - make your point. Thanks!

If the McCanns ,in the eyes,of the Portuguese Police,killed Maddie,then surely the ONE MILLION pounds they have scammed off caring normal people worldwide ,should be seized by the proper authorities?

A few of the relatives back home have been on the telly having their say. Auntie Phil was as usual spouting off, but one thing she said did make me wonder, She said that Jane Tanner had seen a man carrying Madeleine away wrapped in a blanket!!!! She didn't say "child" she definitely said "Madeleine" - Now if thats true (not) then why didn't Jane run after the man?

Also there was an uncle who was pleading for the public to carrying on supporting Kate and Gerry, and had the cheek to mention the word "financially"

who dared to ask THAT question.

Seems she's not the only one who thought that Gerry and Kate may have played a part in M's disappearance.

Friggen muppets the lot of the British press. Every last one of them.

and looked at their news section, yet there is no mention of this arguida and arguido status dumped on the McCanns. Must be untrue then as Im sure they would mention it on their website.

Oh thats right, they pick and choose the truth ...... Somehow me thinks this website isnt going to be updated much anymore.

I notice Gerry didnt have time to update his blog yet. Cant wait to see what it says.

Day 127 - Police pretty much know Kate and I did it. Yet Im so arrogant I will deny to the bitter end. Hope the rest of the world can't see what an a .. h ..ole I am.

Surely in light of these new developments "The Fund" should be frozen / seized? If they are convicted of being involved in Maddy's disapperarence / death, will they also be charged with fraud?

And I have a feeling that once Monday arrives, it will be proven to be more the case, when you suddenly find that O'Brien and Tanner are in the Algarve. And they arent there to top up their tans!

Here's what I said last month about what could have happened that night.

It would seem that according to some of the less articulate and dare I say less well informed members of the Yahoo Q&A that most of what they describe as "Pro McCann supporters" have crossed the fence.
Well here is one who has not.
I admit that I am less sure of my stance with regard to the innocence of the McCanns in anything other than being neglectful in leaving the children alone in the first place, but I still remain convinced of two things.
1) Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
That is where it begins, and that is where it will end, one way or the other.
2) That in the abcence of the McCanns having been found guilty I continue to find the growing speculation and vile accusation revolting.
The amount of people who are now jumping in with "I told you so" and "I have said this from the start" is both laughable and sad.
They put me in mind of nasty little Vultures coming to pick a carcuss clean after the real killers have been and gone.
Crossed the fence, no, not me.

Ok, so now the McCanns have been named as suspects, and the police think they may, accidentally or no, have had some part in the death of their daughter, they have allowed them to leave the police station, and return to look after their other two children. Surely they could be putting the twins in danger by doing this? If there is the slightest suspision that the parents harmed their daughter, should they be allowed to continue to look after their other children, potentially putting them at risk?

There is no substantive disagreement between the Democrat Party and this sworn enemy of the US. Both want us out of the Middle East. Both want us to convert to Islam. Both are fans of Naom Chomsky. Both hate successful American corporations. Both hate freedom. Both want to impose government tyranny on people.

Where is there any difference?

Oh, here is one. Bin Laden is more candid about his intent to take out our way of life.

It was about 6am in San Francisco and I was having coffee and when I turned on the TV I thought it was a James Bond movie. I couldn't take it in.
Two planes had gone into the WTC and then the news said another two had gone down.
It was the strangest and most horrible day

The McCanns have both been named as suspects in the disappearance of their daughter, Maddie. A lot of people have argued that they shouldn't be looked down upon for leaving their children unsupervised while they went out to dinner

Here's the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070908/ts_afp/portugalbritaincrime_11;_ylt=AgpPKiRZWhnvX20.smfjx41bbBAF

Give your opinion: If parents don't feel compelled to keep track of their little ones for the sake of the child, maybe the fact that the parents will certainly come under suspicion could be reason enough to put the weight of public opinion firmly on the side of effective supervision.

What do you think?

I cannot believe what 20/20 (ABC) will do for ratings! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! They criticized Dateline for making "dramatic" arrests for ratings while all the while 20/20 is bashing a good thing and starting a tiff for what, RATINGS! Who cares if the arrests are dramatic, who cares that "Dateline took over the operation" if it gets child predators off the streets then so be it!!! I also love how they made the show all somber when talking about the assistant DA that died "because of Dateline". HELLLOO, did I miss something here? We are talking about a man that took his OWN life because he likes to have sex with children! We are not talking about a poor little innocent man that was scared because the police were outside his house. The power of jeleousy is amazing. Maybe it's the appropriate time to say "Give me a break".

I hope so, as we remember the Americans that were killed on 11th September 2001, I hope some of you guys remember the 202 people killed in Bali by terrorists exactly 1 year and 1 day after.
