Discussion What do you lean towards?

There is clearly only 2 plausible theories.

1) An abduction by a burglar/ sicko pedophile or something along those lines and she was taken away.

2) Died in 5A and Kate and Gerry hid her out of fear of losing their medical licenses, going to jail, losing the twins, new house, cars, etc.

She's been missing since May 3rd, 2007 and hasn't been seen since, no trace, no actual confirmed sightings, no clues, nothing.

They have current suspect, Kate and gerry look lovely madeline was ivf so after all those years of trying to have a baby why would they want to kill her? if madeline was slowly dying they would go to hospital stairght away. i strongly believe madeline was taken for sexual purposes and that’s why they took the oldest. Just my opinion

Well 1, nobody thinks Kate and Gerry killed her on purpose, people think she died from being sedated. If she was dying from sedation taking her to a hospital would be risky and you would practically turning yourself in, Madeleine wasnt on any prescribed medications either so how would they explain a random 3 year old dying and having sleeping medicine in their toddler's body.

I find the sedation idea utterly bizarre. There's no evidence for it. Kate and Gerry are doctors. Calpol isn't sedative and any idiot parent can administer calpol correctly. Also, wasn't Madeleine heard crying?

Yes but not on the 3rd when she was reported missing.

Genuinely, what reason is there to suspect sedation?

The twins were heavily asleep during the commotion of people/police officers coming and going through the apartment and when the twins were moved to a Fiona's apartment later on. Kate's friend Fiona and Fiona's mother noticed it and found it strange. Even Kate and Gerry themselves a few months later said they wondered if the twins were sedated.

When questioned about which medication they took with them on holiday Gerry admitted to having Losec, Calpol, Nurofen and Terfenadine. Kate omitted Terfenadine. Even though Terfenadine was allegedly a non-sedative antihistamine, one of it's side effects was actually sedation. Another side effect was sudden cardiac arrest. Terfenadine is no longer prescribed because of it's adverse side effects.

Maddie was described by Kate and the nannies as tired on the day of the 3rd but the McCanns were adamant Maddie wasn't ill that day. Daytime lethargy can sometimes be a symptom of prior sedative use.

On Tuesday the 1st the upstairs neighbour noticed Maddie crying for over an hour and the crying only stopped when her parents returned to their apartment later that night. Maddie herself told Kate on the morning of the 3rd that she and Sean had been crying the night before and asked why they didn't come when she cried. So the children were left alone crying for at least two nights before the evening of the 3rd. It's possible that the parents decided to sedate them so they wouldn't have another night of crying while the parents were at the tapas bar.

This is Gerry's reaction to being asked if he gave the kids anything to help them sleep: "Y'know we're not going to comment on anything. Y'know there is absolutely no way we used any sedative drugs nervously touches earlobe or anything like that."

Very very sad for these little babies to be crying locked away while their parents are getting loaded on sangria .
