Was Madeleine killed by her mother?

Police think so. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20070907/D8RGSLB01.html

interesting.

Hmmm, kinda sounds like police are trying to force something that may not be true.
On the other hand it wouldn't be the first time a parent is responsible for their missing child.

One thing I have learned is not everything is as it seems. You have to wait for all of the evidence to come out - not just what the media wants you to know.

[gtalum]

The cops probably have something, or they wouldn't have pressed her to plead out.

I have no idea if she did it or not.. with that said though.. I can bet the cops there dont want another natalie holloway on there hands in there area.. Aruba still hasn't recovered for having a murder/missing persons with no "defendant"

[Terrell]

I'm not sure yet, I would like to see more evidence to be sure. It's possible that they have something on the parents, but I want to see a bit more than what I heard in the press so far.

Police have now given Gerry McCann official arguido/suspect status as well. At play here is alleged blood stains found in their rented car which was rented 25 days after Madeleine disappeared.

Wow, that's pretty suspicious to say the least. But I hope the media doesn't find them guilty before there's even any reason to treat them as more than suspects (if that makes sense, lol).


And they've raised so much money to help search for her. How bizarre.

True. On one end of the spectrum, there's Susan Smith. On the other end, there's Lindy Chamberlain.

How have they "not recovered"? Were they injured by the Holloway case?

I pray this is not true - from the links article -

Body fluids found in the boot of a car hired by the parents of the missing four-year-old British girl 25 days after she went missing in Portugal showed she had been sedated, according to a French newspaper which said it had seen the evidence.

France Soir said DNA results of the fluids showed Maddie had swallowed enough sleeping pills to cause an overdose.

Guilhem Buttut, an investigative reporter for the newspaper, said he had seen "hard evidence" about Madeleine's death in a report now in the hands of Portuguese prosecutors, the metro.co.uk news website reported.

Buttut said toxicological tests on the liquids "proved the little girl had ingested medicines, without doubt sleeping pills, in quantities large enough to cause an overdose".

Sources close to the investigation said earlier this week that police discovered an 88 per cent DNA match to Madeleine in the boot of the McCanns' rented Renault Scenic.

It was also reported that hair was found in the boot, allegedly showing that her body had been in it.

The McCanns are reportedly planning their own independent forensic tests on the hire car.

Well that makes all the sense in the world. The parents gave her some sleeping pills so she wouldn't wake up while they were out eating/drinking. Came home and realized they had given her too much and accidentally killed her, then they scramble to cover it up. I bet if the twins were questioned they would tell that mommy and daddy would give them medicine before bed sometimes even when they weren't sick. Ding, ding, ding.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but I am not.
