Maybe the McGanns came back, so she was dead, weighed up some options regarding outcomes of reporting it as opposed to dumping the body and claiming they are victims of child abduction. They would have something genuine to feel guilty about then.
Yep, it does sound like a daty time soap, but its totally feasible. I've never felt 100% about the copuple and it wouldnt suprise me if that happened.

The fact that you can describe a scenario does not make it likely, or even 'totally feasible' or even possibly feasible for that matter.
Trying to dispose of a body in a foreign country is a massively tall order for anyone, as would be the task of forensically cleaning the scene of death. I believe the McCanns are intelligent enough to know this and not to try - even if the child did die in an accident the parents would know they didn't have the expertise to hide it and too much to lose on discovery of the body (a guaranteed murder conviction and the loss of their remaining children).
