Maddie poster in the back of a car...
Discussion
Not wanting to get into the rights and wrongs of how the parents manipulated the media etc etc - sad that a child went missing but in all honesty, it was so "overplayed" that I really don't care anymore.
In fact I had forgotten all about it until last evening, when I was driving home from work.
I was driving at just under 60mph on a single carrageway NSL, when I started to approach a rather slow larger car.
It was a RAV4, driving by what appeared to be a middle aged woman, doing between 30-40mph and braking for every slight corner, with a winnie the pooh "baby on board" sign in the back. Well done my dear, you are doing nothing for your stereotype.
On the other side of the rear window was a "MISSING CHILD" poster - with Maddie as the star attraction...
Now while I see the appeal in having a missing child poster - what is the point in having it on a badly driven RAV4 in the UK?! The child went missing overseas, and its not like someone is going to follow this cretinous moron, then notice the poster and go "Oh yeah, I saw her down the Kings Arms in Putney Yesterday" is it...

I still think the parents accidently killed her.
The mother slapped her for been a pain (must have been rowdy children otherwise they'd be at the bar with the family friends) and used more force than she anticipated, knocking Maddie to the floor and causing severe damage to the brain. Knowing UK law and slapping a child, and with them both been doctors, they knew they would be in a lot of trouble.
All of their friends are in the medical profession and no doubt have had mistakes during operations so all cover for eachother, and so in the circle of friends, they arranged how to stage it as a "kidnapping"
Reasons for this are
1) window was opened from inside, not outside
2) why did all of the friends have to do a search of the appartment? Did they really have to go all over the place trampling the evidence?
3) I cannot imagine parents playing tennis the day after a child goesm issing.....personally, I'd be out scouting the area and I am sure everyone else here would be the same.
Anyways! the body was passed through the window to a friend who disposed of the body either at sea, in a make-shift grave in the nearby wilderness, or possibly at the pig farm down the road which as many people know, will dispose of all human traces.
Well that's my theory, the other one involves them been part of a cult and sacrificing her but that might be a bit too far fetched!
Another thing that always bugged me was how they seemed to be on the defence rather than trying to find their daughter? Plus they have made so much money from the "Find Maddie" campaign, it reached over £1million last time I heard? And I don't see how swanning over the world was going to help find her.....

there were pics in the paper and videos on the news of them "trying to relax whilst the authorities carried out their search" on the first day
It was one of the main reasons I thought "hmmmmm"
EDIT: link here :- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-489218/Ger...
however there was video footage too, I know that working in the medical profession they have to stay calm and collected, but it was their own daughter!

Some people cannot accept the inevitable.
Sadly the child going missing may have been an international issue in the days and week immmediately after she went missing, but now its a waste of time.
What has the womans driving got to do with the poster? Would her being a crap driver mean if you saw the poster and recognised the girl you would just think 'hmm I have seen her but I'm not telling you becuase I don't like your driving'.

While I dont know what happened, I still follow the kidnapped theory. 1) window was opened from inside, not outside

1) Impossible to tell becuase of 2)
2) Probably didn't think it would end up the most talked about crime scene of the year
3)Everyone reacts differently to things, and the tabloids blow it out of all proportion anyway. It could have been just meeting someone at the tennis club etc.

Nope, she just conforms to the ultimate stereotype. El stovey said:
