Seems woke and wandered back in favour again.

That goes without saying, I was looking for a clue as to in what ways normal abductors and abnormal abductors behave differently from each other.

The answer won't be found in the McCann case,imo of course.

It was a general question, asked of Pathfinder who claims to know how normal abductors behave.

Not only that, but Jimmy would have observed that parents were going up to the window to listen, so opening it would have been a big no no - IMO

The person would also have observed that Gerry just did his check,  good time to then whisk Madeleine away IMO

Wasn't he bursting for a wazz?

From where is this observation taking place?

Perhaps he didn't do the check, but went for a wazz in the bushes, so as not to wake the kids. He could've listened at the window at the same time.

Whatever,  he would still have been observed listening at the window,  the abductor would know the next check would be in another half an hour so good time to take Madeleine   IMO

Wasn't there an empty apartment over the road?

Over which road - 5A is on a junction.

Would this vantage point give views of both doors simultaneously ?

You make it sound like it was just the McCanns they had to think about.

IMO a normal abductor would NOT attract attention or waste precious time so to raise that noisy shutter is suicide. They pass through the car park to check so who in their right mind would leave a window open and a raised shutter for them to see? Did they want to be caught? Criminals also wear gloves and no marks were found. My conclusion - bring the village idiot in for questioning!

And yet you have no trouble whatsoever believing that the perpetrator carried a dead child uncovered through the busiest part of town.  Did he want to be caught??!  Who in their right mind would do this?  Not a normal body occulter that’s for sure!

Somebody desperate to distance a body from 5A, whatever the risk, perhaps

There are far more “normal” ways of achieving this, IMO.
