It is a fact of human nature that we as a species are capable of hurting and destroying our own children. There is no news there. What we have to do is look at the circumstances here and ask how likely is it that this has happened.
When child murder occurs in the UK the body - or bodies - are usually found, and found within a reasonabley sort space of time. They are not well disposed of because the vast majority of people are not professional killers with an understanding of how to defeat police search techniques.
The challenge of disposing of a body in wholly unfamiliar territory is all the greater - enough to dissuade all but the most determined from trying and to make it less likely that a body could remain concealed for long.
What is lacking in all these 'The family did it' conspiracy theories is a convincing motive. 'covering up a tragic accident' does not stack up as a motive as the family do not have the skill to cover it up and they have far too much to lose.

How long did it take to find the murdered kids killed by Hindley? Arent some of those bodies still missing?
What makes a professional killer, doing it more than once or doing it once and getting away with it?
Most killers/murderors/cover uppers have a lot to lose anyway (but they go ahead and do it anyway), that would not be just unique to Maddie's parents.
