Rename it to what until the mc'canns or someone else is found guilty of murder or manslaughter she is still presumed to be abducted.

I would have thought 'Madeline 'abducted' during holiday' would be a better title being as we now know her name, but otherwise until facts prove otherwise...

According to a YouGov poll for The Sunday Times, only 20% of respondents believe that the McCanns are completely innocent. Nearly half (48%) believe that they could have been responsible for their daughter’s death, even if it was an accident; 32% were unsure. A total of 40% said that the McCanns’ high-profile campaign had made them suspicious, but 50% said that it had not.

I don't get that.. Why would a high-profile campaign make them suspicious? Surely if they murdered her, they would want to sweep it quietly under the rug.

I can't put my finger on what made me seem suspicious in the first place...

Well there's loads of things isn't there... the way the McCann's acted (but how are they supposed to act?) The fact the abductor took her from in between the twins, the lack of evidence of another person, the list goes on, and all adds up to why people aren't sure about this at all.

Plus the fact she seems to have simply vanished? I can't remember the last time I heard a story of a kidnapped child who was not heard of again.

Yet Richard Branson is "convinced" they are innocent. Does he normally give £100k to suspects in criminal cases, or is this a one-off?

Perhaps he thinks he's got a better chance of saving their reputation than he has of saving VM's ;)

They are innocent, as they have not been proven guilty. From your link:

It will help to ensure that they get a fair hearing and that all of the facts become available.

I remember this case, it was heartbreaking. I don't remember "trial by tabloid" for the parents. Perhaps things have changed in the past 16 years.
