I have always had the feeling that Maddie wandered off out of that apartment.
She may have been abducted from the street, she may have fallen over ,banged her head and was found dead by a parent, or could have been knocked down by a hit and run who panicked.
The shutters and whooshing are add ons to protect the parents neglect and their reputation! I believe that letter does exist!
One of my main theories is she went out of the apartment in ANGER fed up of finding herself on her own again.....My idea is slightly different though.
I think there were problems with the childs behaviour sadly from the time the twins came. Before then all the photos of her with her mother are lovely and Mrs McCanns eyes shines through love for her daughter. I found a super photo of both of them snuggled, it was quite harm warming.
I think the problems started from the conception of the twins, and their birth.
My grandson is 2 months younger then Maddy would have been. At the time my daughter was having so many problems with him bad sleeping, always wanting his attention, he was difficult and it was because he was jealous of his OLDER brother......My daughter was simply exhausted with it all, having little sleep every night.
Now can you imagine how poor Mrs McCann must have been 2 young twins, 1 young toddler all vying
for attention. She must have been exhausted too and unwittingly attending the 2 babies before the needs of the toddler.....the toddler I think would naturally become difficult....
The one thing for me i dont understand is why did Mrs McCann tell all and sundry that on the morning of the 3rd May Madeliene chastiesed them why did you leave us last night crying etc........Why tell us that, WHAT WAS the purpose I could never understand why as for me it made their case of neglect in the eyes of the audience even stronger....how could they? How could they leave their children every night on their own, then got chastised by their 3 year old and do it again the very same night? &%+((£
Now if some of us think that being adults how would a young child of 3 feel? She would have felt i am sure angry, and hurt to find herself in the dark once again with no mum and dad to console her.
I personally think she decided in her own little head to scare them.......and hide perhaps?
I think she was perfectly capable of getting out of that apartment my grandson could have easily and was always up to naughty tricks.
So just say she wandered out, looking for a potential hiding place.
a. Did she find one but it was so good she got stuck and couldnt get back out and dear god she is still there.
b. She wandered out, and she was hit by a passing car and taken away.
c. Someone who knew the child was being left was in the area and took the child away
d. Or did she fall over the stair gate, or railing and be found by a member of the group, i keep reminding myself someone heard someone shouting her name.....
Far fetched is it though?
I get told cant happen she would put her shoes on, WOULD she though? Its dark in the apartment, shoes for kids well my grandson at the time never wore them unless his mum glued them to his feet lol, and he couldnt put them on himself he always got them on the wrong feet.
Fall down into a hole could she? Quite possibly kids die in storm drains and get lost down wells, hidden in fridges.....
Snatched, possibly......
You see i dont get how anyone could have been so clever to have done this without leaving any trace or waking her up screaming, the twins would have woken up etc.....and the shutters well I am sure they are pretty nosiey the ones we had were and in the night noise travels further.
I dont know I just find the case a mystery......like the Needham case really.....there are parallels...
