It's not me who needs to keep up Red. IMO Andy Redwood clearly said that they thought Madeleine was the victim of stranger abduction. What they do not know is what happened to her after she was abducted - i.e. that she could be alive or dead.
It depends on how you interpret what is actually said. If what is said is unclear and does not answer a question directly but waffles around the question, one can make different things of it.
There is no direct quote from Redwood that he or anyone else in SY believes Madeleine was taken by a stranger. If you read the transcript or watch his video off GMTV you will see that he says only this....
The forensic study of the timeline shows there was an opportunity there for abduction
An abduction is a criminal act by a stranger
Thats all Benice,he says its possible she was abducted, he doesnt say anything more
The only time he has used the word *believe* is when asked if he believes she could still be alive to which he said yes, as he is keeping an open mind
