10th Anniversary of Madeleine McCann disappearance

I, unfortunately, think the parents had something to do with whatever happened to Maddy. So many things don't add up or make sense.

Gerry McCann who was creating 2(!!!) timelines with one of the friends they were at the Tapas bar with, while his daughter had just gone missing - likely so one would fit their recounts of when who went to check on the sleeping children?

A kidnapper who came through the window with no traces of forced entry at all? Only one side of the window could be opened at the time, a kidnapper with the kid in his arm would have left shoe prints or something on the bed that was in front of the window. And then McCann closed the window before the police was even involved, because hey, why not ponder how whoever would have managed to get in and/or out with a small sleeping or dead child - nobody would care HOW, they'd go and look for their child and lose their minds, not do some investigating and mess up the crime scene.

The 'Tannerman' seen by J. Tanner, supposedly when Gerry McCann was talking to ...was it Wilkins?Wilkinson? Something like that. Sounded like the perfect Alibi. But as a mother, if you see a man carrying a child with fair hair, around the age of one of my friends, recognizing it's wearing a pink pajama and is barefoot in the arms of a guy - that doesn't cause me to give it a second or third look? And once it's clear Maddy's gone missing she didn't rush to tell the McCann's just what she had witnessed earlier? Come on...

There is so much shady stuff there and it's out for everyone to read.

I also find Gerry's interview transcripts so weird. He is such a good Dad, reminding his wife 2 times to check on the kids. And when she isn't back within 10 minutes, that's when he was already getting all worried. Why? She checked up on 3 kids, I wouldn't be worried at all and assume one of the kids probably has woken up, or she needed a longer bathroom break. You don't sweat it just because your spouse doesn't return within 5-10 minutes from checking on the kids. And if you do, you just get up and go and see what the hold up is all about.

Then Kate McCann screaming 'They've got her' or something. I mean, who is they? And why have they always been adamant Maddie was abducted for sure although there was nothing pointing at it at all. I would've lost my mind for sure, but before thinking of an abduction, I would have considered my kid woke up and went wandering around to look for the parents. I don't believe the window was opened - and if it was, it was by the McCann's themselves. And there is just so much more that's so iffy there.

I don't know what happened. I have different ideas and all of them might be wrong. Maybe Maddy has been sedated, only Maddy. I don't believe in an overdose, if that's the case but more of an allergic reaction. You can tolerate any kind of medication for years and years and all of a sudden you don't. So even being Doctors - they wouldn't have been able to see it coming. Once confronted with that they might have freaked out, and instead of calling 911 or Police they disposed of the body.

Another Theory, and I really hope I'm completely in the wrong about it, would be that the Tapas9 were involved in pedophilia. A friend that used to vacation with the McCann's and D. Payne before overheard something at the table TWICE, of David Payne asking Gerry McCann something that she said was about Maddy along the lines of 'would she do this' and made very obscene gestures. Everyone else basically ignored it. IF something like that WAS in fact going on and everyone was pretty much in on it, it would explain why Kate McCann said 'They have taken her'. They as in at least one person who she knew was with Maddy while they were all at the tapas bar and no-one ever truly checked in to not disturb whatever was going on. At this point I wouldn't even exclude that the girl was being sold with the knowledge of Gerry McCann and some of the male Tapas9.

I honestly cannot imagine that her body has never surfaced if they disposed of it. How lucky would they have been to hide the body so well in surroundings they basically did not know?

The dog hits would refute my second theory however, unless Maddy happened to die during that kind of scenario - for whatever reason. She might have been sedated so she'd keep quiet.

I really hope the child is no longer alive, because let's face it - she's not somewhere leading a happy life with a new family that she thinks are her real parents.
