The look like broken people to me too. There world is broken and I do feel sympathy for them. I have always been convinced whatever happend to Maddie it was not a deliberate act on the part of the parents. However, I do believe the parents are not being honest about everything and this is making it impossible for me to believe in their innocnence. The timeline for the night with the friends is unbelievable to me. The behaviors of the parents both when Maddie was found missing and since then have been repeadilty odd. They need to come clean. If they sedated the children but had nothing to do with Maddie's dissapearance they need to admitt that. However, they can not admitt that now because that would label them both as liers. I am not convinced they killed Maddie but I am convinced they are not being truthful about someting.

This post is an absolute reason why the parents need to take a polygraph. Too much unexplained questions, full honesty here on their behalf can't be denied, they haven't been. I think we all ought to go to Gerry's web site, and nicely demand polygraphs. I dont' believe we would be out of place to do so. We know a crimes been committed, just not by who, and if they are the killers, they are criminals, already been criminally negligent, just not charged, and they should do this to take suspicion off themselves more so.
I say take the polygraph!!!! :hand: It's time.You've now been named suspects, do whatever you can to get the focus off of you and on the correct suspect if you are innocent. Do everything you can to clear yourselves.
Bless you for your loss. Of course you have an insight many do not.
However, most people who have lost a child do not have to grieve in such a public fashion, followed by cameras and crews of newspersons day after day, week after week. We have no way of knowing their private grieving process...only their public.
I will not judge them for that.
Gerry's voice broke in his last statement about Madeleine today (at the airport returning to the UK) and I felt his frustration and pain. My heart goes out to them.
Grief is different for people. Grief for a child, hmmmmm we're talking here a child, supposedly ripped from you and your family, no answers to her whereabouts, this long of a time, desperation, tears, pleas, should be apparent. They have all this energy to do all the activities we've witnessed in the media, but no actual hands on seaching themselves, no hiring experienced searchers to the extend I would be hiring them.
I would be sooooooooooo, and so would all parents, be going crazy. Ed Smart and his wife had tears many times in the media and on the talk shows before Elizabeth was found. Even months and months after her disappearance. They never screamed and wailed, but oh they sure wept, trembled and pleaded. No doubt about it.
