The door to the childrens room.
Which way do you think the abductor went in. I think the front door.
My rationale for this is because the back/side entrance is too exposed and not only that has steep stairs and a childs stair gate on the top.
I keep being told that the patio door is unlocked and the perb would no this.
Question. How? How would an abductor know this.
The front door initially it was said there was a special lock on it. Would that lock not have been changed though when the apartment was put out for rent? The reason why I ask is the key was supposed to be a specialist key and very difficult to get a copy.
WOULD someone renting out an apartment not change the lock to a simple yale, and pass out keys, housekeeping and reception (OC for fire purposes) and probably 2 for clients.
OK just assuming it is the front door, how would someone get a key?
IS the abductor a planner or simply snatcher?
Snatcher they would have had no idea about the doors being locked or unlocked so doesnt make sense.
Planner? OK well how did they plan. Who would be in a position to plan something and get information?
They would need to know the patio door was unlocked
They would need to know the families routine
They would need to know where the children were located inside the apartment
Who would know that and who would be privvy to keys?
Friends
Creche workers
Maid
maintenance man
Restaurant staff
Anyone else?
Did the abductor have a car? If so where would it be kept?
It doesnt appear that anyone was seen hanging about in the evening only during the day in PDL, so who does that leave?
Friends
Restaurant staff
Anyone Else?
IF I was going to take the child, i would take holdall, a something to sedate the child. What would I use? Any thoughts on this. The only thing really that is instaneous is Chloroform which is hard to get hold of. Were any of the suspects checked to see if they had bought any or had their computers checked for this?
What else could be used. I dont honestly think they would leave it to chance and not sedate.
OK go in front door, pass kitchen on the left into the sitting area of the apartment on the right is 3 doors were they open or closed?
We are led to believe that at least the childrens was closed, assume the other bedroom was too, how did the abductor know which room to go to first? Were both doors left open?
LIGHT. There is a piece by KMCC which says when she went in at 10pm and went into the room it was dark and she could only just see the bed ....so i assume the apartment didnt really have a main light left on...so the abductor would need a torch.
When the abductor then opened the childrens door what did they see?
They would have dimly seen two largish cot beds in the middle of the room, beyond that what looks like a bed and a window and a shutter.
Then if they turned slightly they would have seen another bed with possibly somoeone in it.
How did they know it was Maddy?
Was the child only taken because it was the easy option. Taking a child from out of those travel cots is hard work and you would not know what sex the children were in there....
So was Maddy not targeted just taken......
To take the child would be simple. Sedate, put in holdall, carry out go back to front door, quietly just check to see or hear if anyone is coming and go off into the night.
Why then would you open the window or the shutter. It makes no sense.
Why did Gerry worry about the bedroom doing being slightly open why mention it? It was mentioned several times even by Kate.
The timing of the door being left open seemed to following the sighting of JT.
We now know this is a bogus sighting.
So when did the abductor strike?
I think 9.40. IF they were checking they would know the family would be well into their meal and chatting, the ideal time would be 9.40.
I reckon it would take less then 6 minutes.
I say use a holdall and sedate, because it would be so easy to wake the child up by lifting etc.
The quieter you are the less likely of waking up the children.
I have done this in my head so many times....
FOR me for the abduction to work so well I am sure someone working in the complex would be implicated....
or someone who knew the MCCANNS not necessarily friends, but maybe friends of a friends etc...
The timing is crucial.
Anyway that is my points.
I do think the child could have been taken but with a lot of planning.
Any thoughts or add ons?
