LOL @ Robbity
I'd forgotten about that one. I really tore a strip off you Robbity I certainly had a cob on about something ... very sorry about that.
I think this has become quite a plausible theory (currently anyway), but I would include the failed burglary attempt as the reason the window was up and Madeleine woke.
So now I would write:
Who goes for an abduction as a possible solution?
I do, and I know Sadie does,
I know Stephen doesn't.
Alfie must think it is likely.
My theory was a two stage abduction. There was the walking and wandering part, and that is followed by the abduction. So my initial thoughts were along the line that the "abductor" was never in the apartment. It is really hard to build a workable scenario around these initial thoughts.
As I am exploring in another thread my findings so far are that none of the Tapas 9 (excluding Kate) initially thought Madeleine had been abducted. Their initial thoughts were that she would be around the buildings or grounds somewhere, so they must have been thinking something like the woke and wandered scenario.
This is their thoughts even though they are generally aware that Kate and others had seen the window open and the shutters up due to the failed burglary attempt. (That in itself has still quite contradictory thoughts for why would they all not think like Kate?)
