Could all three children have been sedated by an intruder?

Read back on the thread.  Kate did raise concern immediately.

I also believe she raised the issue with the British FLO's.

I believe Kate did raise the issue that the Madeleine and the twins could have been drugged.   Why would they test Madeleine's bed for drugs if they just thought she had woke and wandered?

I can't recall the bed being tested.

I believe the first forensic examination included sniffing for odours.

Who did the sniffing? Any cite for that Brietta?

cite for bed tested for drugs...

The area of the pillow of the bed from the minor disappeared was inspected with the intention to detect the presence of some smell [aroma] characteristic of volatile substances typical of chloroform or ether, this search proving negative

I believe it was the original Portuguese team of forensic investigators ... no point in sniffing at any further remove.

Thank you Sunny.

Only certain drugs- in liquid form, would offer an odour. I have discussed this previously. It would depend how it was administered. e.g oral, annal or injection. It would also depend on the time-scale. How soon after MBM was reported missing. I have also mentioned previously and was shot down by supporters, that Kate being an anaesthetist would have recognised odours of certain drugs.

Airports have sniffer dogs who can select the scent if certain drugs and types of explosives.

Thanks Sunny.
I knew it had happened.
It is just one of those things which one reads somewhere at sometime ... but you've saved me a slog of having to find it again.

She didn't tell them of her fears about the twins, though, did she?

They also wanted to know whether the PJ had any evidence that would suggest that the person who took Madeleine had used any substance to facilitate the abduction.

Thank you Sunny.  Interesting read- difficult to find forensic samples due to the 'traffic' in the bedroom. Obviously it wasn't deemed as a 'crime scene ' by the Tapas... One gets the impression that a lot of people were in that one small bedroom 'searching' for MBM, why else would anyone other than the police go in there?

So,  when finding your child missing, you would immediately think 'no one enter the bedroom it's a crime scene'  would you?

IMO Kate did tell the police about her concerns for the twins,  Kate mentions it in her book and it is very strange that one of the officers should mention the twins didn't wake up with all the noise going on,  how was he to know they hadn't woken and gone back to sleep?
