Sadie's theory.

[pathfinder73]

I believe it is possible that Madeleine was carried around for 45 minutes, with possibly a rest somewhere in between.  Not at all madness in my opinion.

That is my theory - 2 moves. That is different to keep an alibi. This says being carried for 45 mins which is nonsense.

9. He might have been ‘Smithman’. The Smiths saw someone, also carrying a child, at 10.00pm. It could well have been the abductor (Tannerman) still carrying his child around Praia da Luz.

No abductor was carrying a child around Luz for 45 minutes. To believe that happened is complete madness. They were heading in different directions. One had long hair, one short. I don't have to explain any further the absurdity of such a claim.

No father parades through the streets carrying the corpse of his dead daughter for all to see (whilst his wifeis busy drawing attention to the child's disappearance to all and sundry) if he is intent on chucking it in  a bin or hiding it under a bush - To believe that happened is complete madness.

Splitting hairs.

How would they know she's dead?

How would who know she's dead?  The father and mother would, presumably, so who else are you referring to?  You think it's perfectly uncrazy to dispose of a body by carrying it uncovered through the streets of a tourist village, bumping into more than half a dozen holiday makers while your other half is screaming that the same child has mysteriously vanished?

Don't be silly.  That's way too sensible.

If you were going to abduct a child would you wander around a town with her in your arms knowing the police could very well be scouring the streets for her?  The entire proposition sounds implausible to me unless of course the abductor was a nutter??

Seems this in now sorting the posters into a new bag, where McCann supporter is equating to Luz [ censored word ].

Tainted Luz?  That comment is both cheap and nasty.

I would be interested to hear a little about what it is like to live in Luz since the disappearance.  I am fed up reading the rubbish the Press put out simply to sell their rags.

Abductors usually are nutters.  But perhaps you can come up with some examples of sane ones.

How do you know abductors are usually nutters ?

There is a contingent in Luz that are actively against The McCanns.  But I wouldn't stay there because it is largely cheap and nasty.

It was a terrible thing to do to what was once a charming fishing village.

There seriously isn't a logical reply to that.

That is your opinion and not a fact.

Quite frankly, I can't really blame some residents of PDL disliking the mccanns.

[stephen25000]

There is, I'm still waiting.

Many abductions are for people being held to ransom.

Quite deliberate and planned.

Criminals yes, but it doesn't make them nutters.
