Because there is still no conclusion, and likely never will be, I'm not interested in the slightest.
If the story found some definite closure I'd be more likely to put the hours in.
Valid point, stories like this and murder documentaries just interest me in general. Personally I think we will never know what happened, certainly not in this generation If the story found some definite closure I'd be more likely to put the hours in.
Each viewer will get something different from this, I suppose. Not exactly a revolutionary comment but you know what I mean.
I had read a fair amount about the case over the years and I admit I had been swayed by some of the online stuff. My eventual conclusion for a long time was that I didn't think the parents had actually done anything (directly) but there was a lot of very strange circumstances around the case. Along with many, I felt uncomfortable with how the parents presented themselves.
I'm glad I watched this. Yes, as per every Netflix special, it could have been condensed down to half the amount. But I think that - overall - this will be helpful for the public perception of the parents and may even lead to new information. I was expecting a bit of a hatchet-job (after reports that the series might not air) but I thought it was fair and even-handed.
I think the parents are genuine and their obvious grief is heartbreaking to see. Sadly, it's impossible to ignore the most obvious thing - they left Maddie alone when they shouldn't have and they now have to live with the terrible result of that.
I'm very close to someone who lost a loved one, missing presumed dead.
It's truly awful and so corrosive, having no resolution or closure.

nothing in it that wasn't already widely known. Not sure who was managing the funds but they seem to have lost an awful lot of money to dubious sources. The funding by the British Police didn't seem to be covered much and considering the amount of money spent they seem no further forward than they were in the original investigation
Started off well, seemed to be looking at all the evidence and the inconsistencies. Then episode 6 I think, it dismissed most of the inconsistencies/ counter evidence then goes down a weird route of just generally making up nonsense and mistruths that are accepted as fact with the PD and the Millionaires son who just seemed to go around Portugal doing what they wanted on some sort of Jolly.
Apparently its too much of a leap to think the McCann's sedated their children however acceptable that the super villain/burglars did so.
Because the Cadaver dog signalled in the car that they had 25 days later again this is too much of a leap to think they may have been around her body 25 days after she went missing.
Apparently because of the say so of an ex junkie with 0% evidence, in the area there was a super Peado gang buying kids up - If they were happy to buy kids why did they go to effort of stealing a child?
Apparently the day of her going there was a dodgy looking man who looked like he was out of Pirates of the Caribbean; going around by the sound of it trying to scam people into giving money to a imaginary children's home (this is a big shock to the investigators and its gotta be him as he looks right dodgy! - I have been on holiday in the canaries and its common these scams occur all over. But no apparently its the Pirate trying to get a kid earlier in the day)
They then imply that the super Pirate must be the one who took Maddie, as he had been unsuccessful during the day. But now they back peddle and say he must have been scoping out Maddie for the last few days to be able to kidnap her in the 20minute window apparently they had.
I turned it off at this point.
I believe what Amaral says regarding what happened. Its the most logical answer.

The thing with this case is that neither answer is logical. Its completely illogical to think that a super ninja peado just happened to passing during the small time frame between the parental inspections, shape shift himself between a tiny gap in the window and steal a kid without waking either her or her siblings without leaving a single shred of evidence. Its also completely illogical to think the McCanns having killed their kid managed to persuade 7 other people to help them cover it up (for well over 10 years without anyone breaking rank) meanwhile while being followed every min of every day by the worlds media they stored the body somewhere (avoiding all the police and public searches) stored it for a month before collecting it in a hire car and moving it.
Neither scenario makes any sense at all. It's one of the oddest cases ive ever seen.
Having read up on it and watched various documentaries on it im still none the wiser, the police come across as complete amateurs and i still cant get my head around leaving the kids in an apartment while you go in the piss and i simply cant believe the timetable on checking the kids, if true it would have been like a game of musical chairs!
Nothing in any of it makes any sense to me.

Good summary, exactly how I felt after it. I see the parents in a new light tbh. The media on the other hand.....it's staggering how much bullsI had read a fair amount about the case over the years and I admit I had been swayed by some of the online stuff.

t they're allowed to print. The police seemed inept, the private investigators did very little. I suspect we will never know.
