Do I think the Parents Were Involved?
I believe that they made a fatal choice, by abandoning their children, at night. And IMO, that is the start of the timeline. So, my short answer is yes.
Now whether or not, they continued to affect the life or death of this child,
by their own hands, I can only speculate. And my wild speculations are based on news sources. This has been very frustrating, in that we are unable to level the same scrutiny and speculation toward the other "players", as we have with the McCanns.
Colomom posted a link that suggested the friends and family that were very close to the McCanns in Portugal, will be summoned for questioning. I am also hopeful, that we see much more information on the Tappas 9, hotel staff, and more photos of the surrounding areas. Strangly so, if it were 10pm at night, from a distance, the dark hair and receding hairline of both McCann and Murat, might easily be mistaken. Yea, Murat has a longer face, and is fuller around the mid section. However, I think a "Murat sighting" at night, and from a distance, is very unreliable.
Finally! Looking forward to information on:
1.
Dr. Kate Healy McCann
2.
Dr. Gerry McCann
3.
Dr Russell O'Brien, 36.
A consultant in acute medicine at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, he knew Gerry McCann from Leicester. At 9.25pm he left the restaurant for around 25 minutes to check on one of the girls, who was ill. Find Madeleine campaign manager Justine McGuinness denied that either O'Brien or Tanner met with Murat prior to the disappearance of Madeleine. This was confirmed by Murat.
4.
Jane Tanner - O'Brien's partner, has two young daughters. She arrived late at the tapas bar after treating their sick daughter. On the way, she passed the McCanns' apartment and believes she saw a man carrying a child. Crucially, her description of the child's clothes matched Madeleine's pink pyjamas. She claims the man was Murat.
5.
Dr Matthew Oldfield, 37,
An endocrinologist at Kingston Hospital in South-West London, went to check the McCann children at 9 25pm. But he did not look inside the flat - simply listened from outside to ensure Madeleine and the twins were not crying.
6.
Rachael Oldfield, 36,
Dr Oldfield's wife, a former lawyer who is now a recruitment consultant.
She is one of four witnesses who claim to have seen the first suspect, British expat Robert Murat, near the McCanns' flat.
7.
David Payne, 41
Mr Payne is a senior research fellow in cardiovascular sciences at Leicester University
He and his wife and mother-in-law joined the group at 8.55pm. They are believed to have been the only ones using a baby monitor to check on their two children.
8.
Dr Fiona Payne, 34
Mr Payne's wife, she is understood to have told police she saw Mr Murat shortly after Madeleine vanished.
Dr Payne and her husband stayed on in the Algarve to support the McCanns. When the couple were made official suspects, she said: "It's an outrage - a preposterous accusation."
9.
Dianne Webster - Dr Payne's mother. She has given no public interviews.
Other People/Places
10.
Robert Murat (Robert James Queriol Eveleigh Murat) - Born in 1973. Was quoted in a 1-on-1 interview with a journalist, that he would have gladly provided a DNA sample to the PJ, but astonishingly, was not asked to do so. Has a number of occupations, including property developer (presently). He is the father of a 4-year old child. Murat told police he had spent the entire evening with his 71-year-old mother Jenny at the villa they share, a short walk from the McCanns' holiday flat. Rachael Oldfield, Dr Russell O'Brien, and Dr Fiona Payne, compared their versions of events on May 3 with the only named suspect, Robert Murat. They claim they saw Murat on the night Madeleine disappeared, while he has insisted he was at his nearby home all evening with his mother Jenny. Not known if this was a social visit, or simply in passing.

And if a few of the Tappas Nine, want to implicate Murate, why is it that hair, believed to be Maddies, has been found in McCann's car? Why has the cadaver dog, yielded a positive hit on Kate's jeans(?), the keys to the car, the trunk, the stuffed toy, and a path leading to the church. Yet not on/around Murat or his home.
11. When you first see
apartment 5A you are struck by its exposed location. On the ground floor of a five-storey block, it is on a street corner and, like most of the Ocean Club apartments, not part of the gated section that houses the tapas bar and crèche
