I have no doubt they considered every eventuality.
Off to watch the tennis.
The two German brothers opposing each other!

So they must have considered Madeleine waking and having to be sedated a possibility.

They must also have considered the possibility that she wandered off of her own accord despite their denials that this would be possible. IMO a nearly 4 year old can open patio door and could well be the sort of child to close them too. I know of a child when 3 that did both of those things even so far as closing the door as her mother was trying to get through it. I cannot provide a cite for this clearly but is is my opinion nevertheless.

According to the final report teh PJ regarded it as highly unlikely that maddie had woke and wandered

Ah but unlikely is not impossible is it. IMO abduction is extremely unlikely but I suppose also not impossible.

That report is merely expressing an opinion on that possibility.

Absolutely correct.

they said highly unlikely...not unlikely.....they did not say abduction was unlikely...if woke and wandered is highly unlikely ...and the parents are not suspects...taht makes abduction likely

You are still working with probabilities not certainties.

Agreed.....but that's how many things work...

I don't disagree that it is possible that the McCann's are not what I think they are...but it is so unlikely that it doesn't register on the scale

Is it your opinion that a sedated child would do this?

[Sunny]

No but that wasn't part of the discussion I was replying to.

[Robittybob1]

There has been no actual proof the kids were sedated.

[Sunny]

I agree Robittybob1

In my experience it's very difficult to be sure if one's assessment of a person is correct. Respected people with no criminal past have been shown to have been indulging in criminal acts and people with criminal records have been shown to have been not guilty.

I assume that when you say "it is so unlikely that it doesn't register on the scale" it is your opinion as it isn't factually based in my opinion.
