You say it is a poor argument Redblossom.
Yet look at the people who say the McCann's are guilty. They mock the sightings. They believe Amaral.
Do you think they would bother ringing the police if they think they saw Madeleine?
Please dont talk for others you are assuming EVERYONE in Portugal are SHEEP....
Mock the sightings well yes some of them have been bizarre in the extreme....
The problem is for me it was OVERKILL, all the time the media and the McCanns and there little Metodo puppets encouraged to play with their cuddle cats etc made a MOCKERY of the childs disappearance.
The FACT also the McCanns made a decision to put out in the media the childs eye defect would have made the child TOO HOT TO HANDLE, dont you see that?Also Mrs McCann can hardly think she is alive, when in her own book she talks about torn genitalia.
Please people are not stupid perhaps people who leave children on their own in unlocked apartments night after night are STUPID, but in general the majority of human beings if they thought they saw the child would ring someone regardless of what they read in a book...jeez.....give people a break...
