I haven't watched but isn't there speculation that one of they adults saw the kidnapping take place but thought it was just a father carrying his own child? Honestly, I don;t know if that is something I remember from this tragedy or if it was part of a book I read.
I think someone at the resort said that they saw someone carrying a child who was in her PJs outside the resort at around the same time she went missing. The person later said that they thought it was the dad after seeing the dad carrying one of his other kids of a plane but then changed his/her mind. The sketch of the person carrying the child was awful, had an oval face with hair, that’s it.
They also mentioned that because there was a night creche there, there's a decent possibility that that person could have been a father bringing his own child back to their room from the night creche.
I’m also only halfway done, but I agree with everyone’s comments. This is way too long/dragging and I don’t think her parents are involved in her disappearance.
My theory at this point:
I think someone was watching the McCann/McCann group and picked up on their nightly habits. It sounds like the disappearance happened at least a week into their vacation and they had had a fairly standard nighttime routine. Down to the table they reserved at the tapas place. It was pretty easy for someone to come in right after 1 check and take Madeleine.
I also think that her parents probably gave her some sort of OTC pain med that also acted as a sleep aid. Someone said that Madeleine had asked her mom the night before why she didn’t come when she and the boy twin were crying. If that’s true, I wonder if the parents thought something to help them sleep would be helpful. I also wonder why the twins (18 months-24 months?) didn’t wake up after it was discovered that Madeleine was missing. It sounds like the apartment was chaotic and it doesn’t make sense that they would have just continued to sleep soundly through all that - even while being moved to another apartment, apparently. The sleep aid makes sense to me if the two eye witnesses who saw a man carrying a small blonde girl in her pajamas are accurate. Both say the girl was sleeping. If Madeleine was knocked out, it certainly would have made it easier for the abductor.
I don’t believe the cadaver dogs and police theory that the McCanns killed her/covered up an accident. They involved way too many people and were under global media coverage as soon as the disappearance happened. It’s not realistic that they could have hid a body in a refrigerator and dumped it somewhere weeks later using a rental car.
The mom in particular is heartbreaking. The animal sound she is said to have made when they discovered her gone can’t be faked. Her carrying around the lovey also just seems so genuine to me.
