Kate McCann: I believe kidnapper drugged my twins night Madeleine was taken.

[jassi]

If there is no crime then Maddie is not a victim

She certainly is  a victim of misfortune.

[ShiningInLuz]

Ok
Are the twins a victim of crime

Not yet, AFAIK.  As to whether they will be, IMO, yes, because life can be sh***y in the circumstances they find themselves in.

Are you sticking to 'twins were drugged' or diverting?

As a reminder, YET AGAIN.

It remains unknown if there was a crime , i.e. if Madeleine was removed from the apartment.

Technically true, she could have walked or fallen out.
The word "kidnapped" in the OP is from the quote by Kate in the article.

Are you off topic

The twins were victims of the crime if they were sedated.  I was originally thinking they were victims for they lost their sister.

Ah, victims of circumstance, rather than of crime.

[Robittybob1]

Ah, victims of circumstance, rather than of crime.

Then we are all victims of circumstances.

[jassi]

Indeed we are.

[Robittybob1]

Indeed we are.

All except Bell Pottinger who got half a million pounds from it.

If they rolled over? Did they?

That's my point,  you don't know what Fiona observed,  you are just jumping to conclusions.

We do know what Fiona observed because she told us and not in a translated interview where there was room for interpretation but in her rogatory statement, given in English. It is you who are trying to put words into her mouth.

That is her version of the events 1 year later.

Did Fiona say the twins were completely immobile and unresponsive all night long?

After a get together in Rothley.

The victim was Madeleine.

Good of you to recognise that.

However two of the other victims of the crime ... Madeleine's siblings ... were apparently ignored by the police investigators both regarding their personal welfare and their importance as possible vessels carrying evidence.

There is no record of any forensic investigation concerning their persons, the cots they slept in or the bedding on which they slept.
Indeed, they were carried from the scene of the crime wrapped in bedding which could have been evidence.

In the meantime the other victims ... unless you wish to argue the point about who exactly are the victims of such a crime ... have somehow been  metamorphosed into investigators responsible for the crimes scene, from as some would have it,

• sealing off the crime scene
• to ensure that proper diligence regarding the observance of collecting forensic evidence is observed

The police do the investigating.  I do not believe that even Amaral's theory stretched as far as suggesting any suspected drugging of the twins should have been left to their parents to instigate investigating ... do correct me if I am wrong.
