Madeleine moves the world

Skybird · 09-09-07, 08:21 AM

We all heared the story, we followed the drama, we got daily information on it, wether we liked to get it or not. Now, the McCanns are back in Britain, after having been declared suspects by the Portugese police.

The media hype, the financial donations, the declarations of sympathy were monumental over the past months.

What do you make of it all? What is your guts feeling? Are they playacting only, or are their efforts and desperations real?

1. The girld became victim of a crime, the parents honstely tried to find her as best as they could. The police suspicion is absurd.

2. The parents knew who did their girl harm, and protect him/her.

3. The parents killed the girl intentionally themselves, and are playacting to get away with it. -> murder

4. The parents accidentally killed the girl, and try to avoid penalty. -> slaughter

5. The parents became victim of the police who is tired of them and tries to get rid of them by accusing them, and hides its own mistakes.

6. I don't care and I hope I never have to hear about this media story ever again.

My choice is: they killed here by ACCIDENT, but that's just how I feel now.

I voted 'other', as anything I would chose is 100% speculation.

Let the investigation run its course.

its rather funny that day the only people with any information ar the mcanns and thier friends and nobodies talking we havent heard from the people who they were dining with, it seems clear that they do no display and havent displayed a typical response of parents whos child has gone missing im surprised the police psychologists havent got hold of thisbut maybe im the only one who sees this . if this is thier doing than they have decieved alot of people to the detriment of humanity

This is all very distasteful

No I did not poll

XabbaRus · 09-09-07, 10:21 AM

I don't believe they killed her. All this is press speculation since the Portuguese keep such a tight lid on things.

So who else voted for the girl was the victim of a crime and the parents tried to find her with me? I just noticed that our option, whoever my companion is, suffers from a major lack of credibility, much more so than the mysterious reserved option.

Skybird · 09-09-07, 10:54 AM

Ehem, guys - pardon, but while the 7th option >other opinion< is self-explanatory, the 8th >reserve option< was meant as a reserve only, in case somebody tells me that I have left out one option, so that I could post a hint and say that the reserve means this or that - you can't alter poll options once they had been set up.

Please do not use the reserve option.

Bahaha :rotfl:

For me, there are a couple of telltale signs that she wasnt kidnapped:

1) No ransom demands - I know about the child prostitution theory, but it is unlikely, as I haven't seen reports of other cases in my lifetime
2) No substantial traces found - If she was kidnapped, the public attention the case has recieved would cause a kidnapper to deem her (as nasty as this sounds) a big risk, and therefore would want to be rid of her as soon as possible. No traces of a body leads me to think something else happened

1) Children have been stolen, not for the purpose of ransom.
2) Why do you assume there must be?

Pure speculation.
