... and the cause of death
The most difficult part of the 'death in the apartment' theory, for me, has always been the almost inconceivable image of two clearly loving parents 'disposing ' of the body of their cherished infant
And yet it appears Scotland Yard have reason to think Madeleine's body was buried close to the apartment where she was last seen alive
That just doesn't fit in with an 'abduction' does it ?
I was thinking this too. I guess it depends how close to the apartment the digging is going on? The more distance, the more time for it to have been a third party?
From the latest interviews, I'd be prepared to bet that the Mccanns had fore warning that the digs were going on, which does lend credence to their claims that they're being updated.
There's a quote from an unnamed Portuguese source of the latest news thread that says something along the lines of if they're digging, they're looking for a body, how many holes would you have to dig to decide that a body isn't there?
Also, how did they decide where to dig? It can't be just random. They must have someone info, surely?
