My opinions on abduction are this
Of course it is a possibility. I feel though, it is more likely with the checking timeframes that Madeleine left the apartment on her own and was then picked up by an opportunistic criminal. I feel if someone had been watching the family, they would be extremely unlikely to enter the apartment given the checking regime was so erratic and there were so many checks and pretty much at any given time there would be a member of the group passing apartment 5A. I also feel DNA evidence of an abductor is not really needed. Someone could have been in there for seconds, taken Madeleine and left, entering and leaving via the open door. Footprints may well have existed however there were a huge amount of people trampling through the apartment before the police even arrived, so any footprints or whatever would have been long gone, so in that respect, if there was an abductor..they were very lucky that the police weren't called immediately and that so many people were allowed into the crime scene. I think leaving/entering via the window is ridiculously unlikely.
Now onto the part of my post that really does open up the possibility of someone who had been watching the families specifically targeting them rather than it being someone opportunistic. I also feel this possibility clears up a lot of the discrepancies in statements, the crying incident 2 days prior where a child was crying for over an hour, the unlikely theory of someone watching then taking when checks were so regular...also makes a possibility that the abductor was long gone before the alarm was even raised and opens up a much larger timeframe than the few minutes that currently exists.
I think there is a large possibility that the checks did not happen as some have claimed. That the children were left and checked on maybe once or twice throughout the night. IF this happened then someone watching the families would know they could most definitely get in and out without being caught. All they would need to do is wait for one check to be done, or go in right after the parents left for the Tapas. It would definitely explain the oddity of the Tapas group sitting down writing timelines of checks rather than going out to actually search. i always thought that was such a weird thing to do...a child is missing and your primary concern is writing down what you were doing at that time?
This theory does (IMO) make so much sense given the circumstances. It gives both reason for the changes in timeline, the weirdness of writing out the timeline in the first place, Mrs Fenns statement about a long period of crying..
I am in no way suggesting the parents had a hand in the actual disappearance, nor accusing the rest of the group of anything.
