I don't think the Belgian girl looks anything like Maddie.

Also despite what The Times said last week, still no result from the blood tests.

The latest developments in the case come as investigators wait on DNA test results on specs of blood found inside the McCanns's Algarve holiday home.

Interesting

Police have also revealed for the first time that they believe more than one person may have been involved in kidnapping Madeleine.

The advice to stay put came as the Portuguese police gave a rare official assurance that the investigation was nearing completion.

An interesting article on VM's news pages:-

http://www.virginmedia.com/news/worl...oryid=12105426

"Meanwhile, Portuguese police now believe Madeleine was killed accidentally in her apartment, according to reports. A police source said officers believe the four-year-old is dead, and that she died in the family's apartment.
They are not sure whether her death was murder or accidental, but are said to be leaning towards it being a tragic accident."

Does this mean they now suspect the parents of being involved, or am I reading it wrong?

That insinuation has been doing the rounds for some weeks now (that the parents may have killed her accidentally and then covered it up). I said at the time it first surfaced in this thread, and I'll say it again now: I just can't see how that stacks up. I can't see a believable motive and I can't believe they have either the capability within themselves, or the resources necessary to cover up such a thing while on holiday in a foreign country.

If Madeleine died in the apartment, then I think it would have been the result of a bungled robbery or kidnapping.

Seem's you might be (from the link 2 posts above)


Mr Sousa denied claims that Madeleine's parents had ever been under suspicion

A senior police source said: "There is nothing to stop the McCanns going home. They are not suspects but we have told them it is not good timing because the investigation has changed.

To try and minimise the amount of forensic evidence left at the scene

Re: Toddler 'abducted' during holiday
 
As time goes by this case is getting more and more complicated with no one saying what they actually think. Police say the parents are not suspects then infer in other statements that they might have done something wrong. There are more mixed messages in this case then an album remix none of which help the public understand and get involved in this case and does not do the mc'canns any good either.

As for taking the body away to limit forensics maybe it does but what it definately would do is make more then just the apartment a forensic playground so i can't believe they accidentally killed her and took away a dead body.

I know that many armchair Columbo's have come up with this theory, but isn't this the first time that the Portuguese police themselves have actually used such language?

The quote about the police source saying that they are "leaning towards it being a tragic accident." makes it sound like the parents were involved somehow. If Madeliene died as the result of a stranger entering her room, how could the police possibly know if her death (if she is dead) was accidental or otherwise?

Are the police trying to keep the McCanns in Portugal without arousing suspicion?

I posted a link directly quoting investigating officers saying that they weren't suspects and have never been, tbh if they had said something sooner it might have stopped people jumping on wild tabloid theory’s and speculation, they might have done it, it's not exactly unheard of for people to be blubbing in press conferences one moment and being charged with murder the next, that said I don't think they had anything to do with it and never have thought so and as a result don't really know what these continual allegations are meant to achieve other than sell newspapers, perhaps if these hacks have any evidence other than tittle tattle they should approach the Portuguese police, they seemingly need all the help they can get

So, Has a body been found? or is everybody just "Assuming" that little Madelaine is dead? I get a feeling that i`ve missed something here.:confused:
