Yup regarding 'hostages to fortune' I was thinking of someone trying their luck. Of course if it is someone Madeleine knew I would expect the chances of success to go up quite a bit. If someone wants something badly enough there is no limit or lenghts to what someone may do or how cunning they may be to get what they want. Makes you think... There can be only one way it happened obviously. Would be interesting to hear what other theories people in here may have - I mean just possible theories that revolve around abduction...
I personally do not believe that Maddie was stolen by people jemmying shutters- and all that whooshing.
When discussing this a few years back, with friends at work, there was a few theories which you may be interested in;
1. Kate as an aethetist, gave the children a mild sleeping tonic- so they would not wake.
2. Maddie was removed from the apartment, alive, by someone she knew. Some one who may have been abusing her.
3. Maddie woke up and went to her parents room and accidentally swallowed pills? cause her to die, this was why an abduction had to be staged.
(there were more, I am not going to add them due to the nature of them)
All just theories in the absence of knowing what acutally happened.It had to be a dramatic abduction theory pushed by the McCANNS, anything else would have been bad PR.
And some people on here and else where, still add to that by saying: well, even if the parents were in the apartment Maddie would still have been abducted. ew
