Why don't people believe the Mccanns story of Abduction ?

[stephen25000]

An open question.

[carlymichelle]

i  dont because  it  doesnt make any sense      also    why would  a abductor  take a almost 4 year old and not a  2  year old that  wouldnt   remmeber  anythinng?

[Alfred R Jones]

because they want the McCanns to have dunnit, god knows why but let's face it - many "sceptics" decided they didn't like the look of the parents from day one and so want to have their dislike confirmed with a conviction for something, anything.

Pathetic but predictable reply.

Now, let's start with the simple, the apartment was locked, then changed to being unlocked.

No they didn't.

Ooh yes lets.  Lets keep on having the same pathetic argument every day for the rest of our lives because we have nothing better else to do.

If the idea was that one had lost a 3 year old, then the ideal replacement would be a 3 year old.

Just to clarify, 'lost' here does not mean innocently lost.  There is more likely to be, in this scenario, something dark in the origin.

In this purely hypothetical scenario, the replacement would be 3, and probably a small 3.  May I ask how many memories you have from when you were early 3?

Madeleine was on the MW documentation as being 3 when she was to return home.  And she seems to have been a petite 3, not a big 3.  Therefore an ideal fit.

All purely hypothetical, of course (except the age and build).

i have no memories from being  3    most people dont because the human brain  develops  most  real  memories after    5  or  6    so  maddie wouldnt    remmeber anything at all if she  was   alive

It's not pathetic and it is the truth.

Now Alfred , locked then unlocked, which one is the lie ?

They both can't be true, can they.

Surely, in that case, one of the twins would also have been ideal.
A bereaved parent looking for a replacement wouldn't necessarily be too choosy

[stephen25000]

No they didn't.

So what did they say Eleanor ?

i clearly    remmeber   the  PJ traced calls from that night fromthe tapas 7 didnt they??

Precisely.

A younger child would be easier to carry, and we are told they were sleeping heavily.

The spurious arguments as to taking an older child don't hold any water.

I agree on this point, in this hypothetical scenario.

I have wondered for a while, assuming a pre-planned abduction scenario, whether Madeleine was THE target as opposed to simply A suitable target.

If Amelie had disappeared that night, I dare say we would now be discussing the disappearance of Amelie McCann.
