Whats this got to do with anything
It is about the claim that the sex offenders were also burglars, which others above are suggesting.
I am saying the two is not connected.. their motives are different..
Also about the claim that a potential burglar who did the series of burglaries in the Ocean Club is ( by big statistical probability) also a sex offender..
I am saying that a burglar has no reason to take Madeleine..
unless she can recognise himor if he has already killed her due to panicking.. maybe he was 'stuck in the room'.. and not sure if anyone else was in the apartment..
And when Matthew Oldfield turned up for his check the burglar was hiding in the room, and same time holding Madeleine..
From that room he had no ways of knowing it was Matt Oldfield, in his mind it could have been the parents returned.. and if he was holding Madeleine and stopping her scream this is a panic situation for a burglar..
