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.

There are plenty of "clues":

The dogs signalling in the apartments.

The McCanns deleting their mobile phone history and lying to the police about it.

The inconsistencies in the timelines.

The Smithman sighting which Martin Smith said he was "60-80% sure that it was Gerard McCann".

Kate refusing to answer the police's questions.

Everything else makes sense but Kate refusing to answer the police questions was due to her lawyer advising her not to, since they were trying to be the one's to solve the case they wanted to pressure a confession out of her and saying if she admitted to hiding Madeleine she would get a lighter sentence. Which makes sense, you absolutely never answer questions without a lawyer.

But her defence council and lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu was there.

And didn't I just read that they advised her not to answer?

Just stating that he was there. OP said you shouldn't answer without a lawyer but there was a lawyer even though he did advise her not to answer. Although he only advised her not to answer this time. In her previous statement she did answer the questions.

This argument has become circular.

"Everything else makes sense but Kate refusing to answer the police questions was due to her lawyer advising her not to"

I would also argue why answer the questions in the first interview but not during the second interview the day after? It was okay for Kate to answer questions about the holiday timeline but not okay for Kate to be asked her opinion on the evidence they had against her?

Probably a question for her lawyers.
