Some would call it obsessive while others would prefer to refer to it as a search for the truth. What strikes me about the Madeleine case is the absence of evidence which one would expect to encounter in an abduction case, the involvement of the English police and the UK Government and the alternate thesis put forward by the former Portuguese head of the investigation.
All of these things have brought mystery and suspicion to the case.
Search for the truth would be a good reason, if that is what drives people on, but I fear that it has gone beyond that now and has become a battle.
In the Ben Needham case no evidence was found .
It was not in the media eye, on a daily basis for years.
I doubt the Social media sites now operating were even there…but not sure.
Nobody wrote a book accusing the parents of involvement.
His mother was liked and trusted by most.
(You can add to this as you wish)
There is much less interest in those who have been found innocent of a crime, where there is plenty of evidence to suggest their guilt. I will not name names for obvious reasons, but I am sure you will all know of a few.
Why is there no obsession of the degree shown to this case, in any other cases, considering there is no incriminating evidence against the parents?
I am still trying to work out in my own mind, what may have happened to Maddie and it would be nice to discuss the possibilities in a civilized manner. However those who have already made their minds up, as to what they believe happened to her, give me little chance of discussing it in an adult fashion.
Whatever way you look at it, the parents and friends are innocent until proven guilty of any wrong doing.
