They might well be investigating an abduction but there is no evidence it ever took place. For all anyone knows Madeleine could have wandered out into the street and fallen down a storm drain.
As far as the conflicting stories in the Press are concerned ask yourself this question. If it were your child and two e-fits had been produced which collectively offered a reasonable chance of finding her - Would You Suppress Them?
...or as I suspect would you be shouting it out from the rooftops?
The first investigation was centred on the parents and there was no evidence found there, either, was there?
At the moment there are conflicting reports, John, and yet you reflexively jump on the "They did it" side again. I seriously doubt the Mccanns personally suppressed anything, it was too big for that. They continue to shout from the rooftops when and where they can. Why would they spend money, time and energy and suppress the very thing they want? This isn't some small matter, and it was always going to come out, and it has, albeit in conflicting reports.
