I'm posting what the man said, you are not;
There is always a possibility that we will find Madeleine and we hope that we will find her alive.
That means imo that there's an outside chance they will find her. In the event that they do, they hope she will be alive.
I wonder what the odds are that four people sitting in an office in London are going to find a child who went missing in Portugal 9 years ago. Four men who don't know what happened, don't know how she was removed from the apartment or who removed her.
I wonder where they got the idea that she could have been murdered then? Woof!

Wherever they got it from - it doesn't involve the parents as they have been ruled out as suspects.
The possibility that Madeleine may not have left 5A alive was a consideration in relation to the predator who broke into several holiday apartments and assaulted many UK children whilst their parents were in another room.
As far as we know - no-one knows what happened to Madeleine after she was taken from 5A - and it goes without saying that she may well have been murdered as that is what happens to most children who are abducted by sexual predators.
However whilst there is no evidence that she has been murdered and we know that people trafficking exists - it cannot be claimed as a fact - and until there is evidence of her death her parents will always carry on hoping that she is still alive - just as Kerry Needham is still hoping Ben is alive.
The idea that ' Madeleine may have been murdered' is some new revelation that SY have recently come up with is preposterous IMO.
