Is there a plausible, logical theory of abduction?

[jassi]

The Supreme Court decision has no bearing on the actual scenario of Madeleine going missing.

I'm glad to see you say that. This trial was all about the McCanns and their sense of entitlement, no one else.

"Tips on How to Avoid Becoming a Victim

Scams

Small groups of adolescents/young adults/women occasionally commit petty thefts and vehicle burglaries around common tourist spots (plazas, beaches, cafes, etc.)".

The interesting bit is what is NOT mentioned.

ETA I meant in the whole document for those with the attention span of a goldfish.....

This case has similarities to the McCann case.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOZEkcLoeSs

Interesting Rob.  A burglar who breaks into a home and decides to steal a child instead.

Did he sell her to child traffickers or a childless couple who wanted a child?

That is what libel cases are all about.  I tend to think people have taken the trial to be a de facto criminal case.

Not only that but the police offering the parent a plea deal to admit it was an accidental death.  Final outcome was a huge payout for damages.

No.  He broke into a house with the intent to burgle it, stole a three year year old girl instead while her father was asleep upstairs, sexually assaulted and murdered her, and her innocent father was the chief suspect in a botched police investigation.  A tragic case which busts a few preconceptions which I've seen voiced on this forum.

So no child traffickers then ? I thought that was the lead OG were working on?

Is it?  I thought the parents were the chief suspects, do make up your mind!

so that rather answers the question re  a plausible theory for abduction....nice

Well you said last week that you had no reason not to believe that the tabloid article that OG were following a lead which involved child traffickers was true. I think it may be you who needs to make your mind up Alfie.

I have no reason to disbelieve it still, and your point is?

So the case posted by RB is actually nothing like Madeleine's case because ( according to what you believe) it is not a burglary gone wrong.

Err...are you mistaking me for Operation Grange?  Personally I think Madeleine was stolen by a predatory paedophile, murdered and dumped in the local vicinity, very much like the case Rob cited.  If Operation Grange believe something else then that must be because  they have information I have not been privy to.
