So what actual searching was there?

Choose a time when there wasn't.

What time was that then?  And how did the searchers-cum-body-occulters know that the coast was completely clear?

The best time was obviously when it was still dark and had gone quiet. Searches finished at 4am and most went home to get some sleep. 8am more searchers arrived to start their day so it's easy to find the best time to do it if that was your intention.

So, there was no one out and about searching at all in PdL between 4am and 8am?  And the body occulters would have known this how, exactly?

Where had they hidden the body in the time between the alert and hiding it?

In that scenario a body was quickly hidden but better concealed later.

If they had they didn't look for her. Screaming and crying helps no-one.

absolutely true but a normal first reaction at the thought of maddie being abducted. they realised that to be of any us e they had to pull themselves together...hence the jogging etc

Quickly hidden where?

Somewhere that the Police, dogs, searchers and locals(who knew the area) had not already searched, of course………………………
Very clever indeed, for folks who did not know the area, to do that………….Don’t you think?
And the wild dogs that were wandering around, didn’t find anything either.

A normal reaction in your opinion. In my opinion a normal reaction by a parent to a missing child is to run, search and call the child's name.
