Mark Williams-Thomas suggests Madeleine woke, wandered and was abducted.

The only thing I know for sure is that the thought process of a 3/4 year old can be totally unpredictable, whatever they have been told by their parents.
Where on earth was that little girl going when she left the hotel in Austria? Her mum was still in the apartment.

Very true. If I remember correctly a child who wandered a few years ago was going out for ice cream.

I have no idea..just from experience and others stories,  I know kids who leave their house go towards somewhere they want to be very much...I suppose this avenue if the woke and wondered theory is correct will remain an unknown

Sometimes children go away from something, even if it's a trivial something. Two children were picked up in our town a few years ago after being spotted on CCTV at 0200. They were only young (about 7 and 4) and had decided to run away after being told off. They even had potatoes in their backpacks to make a meal. The parents were fast asleep and oblivious when the police returned them.

A possible

Still you have to totally ignore the cadaver dog alerts for this wandering theory

@Merc, IMO if the wandering theory is correct, it would be to go away from a danger (interrupted attempted entry via window) AND to go towards safety (parents).

Do you know how many checks were performed that night but no sign of a wandering or calling child? People coming to and leaving the tapas bar at different times. That was a busy area and somebody must be dumb to even attempt an abduction that night. And guess what? There's no evidence of any of it happening. Only the prime suspect that looks similar to one who saw the child last. Now that is real evidence worth following not hocus pocus.
