What evidence exists that MM's disappearance was sexually motivated?

[jassi]

One possibility imo is such a "horrible job" could be concealment of a corpse, for example.

First prove there was a corpse

I don't have him down as a psychic.....

Someone could arrange such a horrible job in advance with an offender. The offender doesn't have to be psychic.

I think going back to a sexual motive there are several scenarios to consider:

1. Predatory paedophile. Though if this was the case I would have expected her body to have been found.
2. Trafficking a child into the sex trade. This would be rare given MM's age and also unlikely because she was a UK tourist and so such an abduction would invite much attention
3. If there was parental involvement in MM's death then it's hard to explain why an accident would be concealed. The threat of a "neglect" charge surely wouldn't have been deemed to subsequently lead to a prison sentence especially given the family's connections to people in high places. If they had given MM an over the counter antihistamine (as a sleep aid) then this wouldn't have led to a prison sentence even when combined with alleged "neglect". However if there was some evidence of sexual abuse then that would provide a higher likelihood of the need (motive) to cover up an accident.

All three of the above are pure speculation and just ideas exploring possible sexual motive scenarios. I am not suggesting that there is any evidence that MM was killed by a predatory paedophile nor the victim of sexual abuse carried out by anyone in her family or their friends. Also the parents are quite rightly legally presumed innocent of any involvement in her dissappearance.

I don't believe they ever will in this case.

[Mr Gray]

He doesn't have a history of attempting to abduct children or the more serious offences that result in long custodial sentences.

Do your suspects have a history of abducting children or any criminal activity

[Vertigo Swirl]

Like for like.

Whatis that supposed to mean?

How about name just one other British child that has been abducted by a childless couple wanting a little girl to raise as their own whilst on holiday?

You mean like "we're planning to OD our kid tomorrow and it's likely she will fall off the sofa and die so could we book you for a bit of body occultation"?  If not like that, perhaps you could explain how you think it was arranged for CB to dispose of a child who suddenly died in an accident?

I think it's quite unusual to have a person who makes a living as a burglar who is also a rapist paedophile

Didn't the person who assaulted those children in their apartments also take things when he was there?

[Mr Gray]

I can just imagine the reaction of sceptics if a couple of friends of Gerry admitted he knew what happened to Maddie..

[Mr Gray]

Too few cases to draw comparisons.  Where children have been abducted from their beds: Sophie Hook and Alesha MacPhail the bodies were recovered.  How was soc found in terms of their beds?

The only question is how likely is it....with Breukner living nearby ...quite likely

Name me a 3 yoa child left night after night completely unsupervised in an unlocked hol apt where the parents MO of an evening was observable?

Means, motive, opportunity...

Now tell me CB had neither means, motive nor opportunity and why not.

[jassi]

All those do is qualify him to be  a suspect- which he is.

Hughes overheard about SH sleeping in the tent and Campbell was acquainted with the family.  Totally different scenarios.  How on earth was CB aware MM was home alone in 5A?

According to the police he was probably informed by an employee....it was written on the booking sheet kept in the Tapas reception

[Holly Goodhead]

I find it strange that the so-called supporters appear desperate in their argument that MM has been abducted by a paedophile.

If the Mc's were here arguing I wonder if they would agree.
