Statistically...what are the chances that Maddie was abducted..

Tell L**

It was interesting that one of the experts on "The Lying Game" said that the McCanns are 100% innocent.

Yes considering nothing is proven it's a rather bold assumption to make & I can't help but wonder if her decision came from confirmation bias. However that could also be confirmation bias.

Indeed Puglove.    That was Dr Sharon Leal, a Forensic Psychologist.   No doubt the lady will now be trashed, ridiculed and insulted by those who were watching the programme desperately hoping for the exact opposite to be stated.

In fact before the day is out I fully expect she will be ''in on it'' - according to some.

   it is to be expected ... with some.

Only if they'd been confirmed as innocent, Spam!

I thought it was quite a brave statement.

Or if she wants to believe it.

Or if she wants to believe it.

But why would she?

It's best if I don't discuss this further, I'm sure you all know who I am and how much trouble I got into last time I did! For what it's worth, I think that the McCanns are innocent too, they were just inefficient parents. Most get away with it, if we're totally honest. They didn't. And maybe they should use a spokesperson, because they don't do themselves any favours when they appear on television.

McCann innocence has been drummed into the eyes & ears of the public since Smethurst spoke of expunging & portraying.

Some people find it impossible to imagine they could have hidden her body, since they can't imagine themselves doing it.

Stop tempting me back with your juicy pink meat, Spam!

We're not all led round by the nose, and I for one have no idea who Smethurst is. I find it impossible that Maddie's body was hidden in such a short time, because so many people were alerted, and they could (hopefully did) look everywhere. So where was she hidden? Seriously? What a risk.

None of this (your theory) adds up for me. And I genuinely don't believe that Kate could have been party to, or carried it off.

In a large dumpster type bin.
If she had been found during the searching they could still deny any involvement. If she wasn't found they could be pretty damn certain she would never be.

So. How many of these dumpster bins were within a mile vicinity? When were they emptied? Weren't they checked? The most famous missing child in the world, global within 24 hours, and any evidence slipped away under everyone's noses? If I had a heart of stone, like some I've witnessed on here, I'd wonder if she'd been magicked away on Hagrid's motorbike. Who hid her, Gerry? Were his holiday clothes checked for DNA?

I find it impossible to believe because no-one can come up with a credible explanation of how, when or where they hid her body - and how they moved it again 3 weeks later.      Or even explain why 9 intelligent people, all apparently colluding together, came up with such a complicated,  imbecilic plan as the one being alleged.     

That just makes no sense at all - when it is so obvious that there were far simpler ways of achieving the same ends.    Only idiots without a single brain cell amongst  them would have failed to realise that fact when they were making their 'plans'.    Plans, which incidentally were so complicated and convoluted it would have taken a month of Sundays of practise to remember all the details of what 9 people had to do and say.
