imo, the McCann's made a mistake, we are all human, none of us are perfect, so while not absolving the McCann's from any responsibility, it's likely the abduction of their daughter was never on their radar?
It appears they were lulled into a false sense of security by the apparent exclusiveness of their holiday resort. This allowed a predator to stalk and abduct their daughter.
There are two possibilities: either a pedophile who knew the McCann's and Madeleine from the UK and their intended vacation schedule then travelled incognito to Portugual, or said pedophile was already resident in Portugual?
Of the two possibilities one is pre-planned the other may be random, a chance opportunity?
The resemblance between the Ramsey and McCann case is that JonBenet's death was staged to effect a failed or aborted abduction, whereas it appears Madeleine was successfully abducted, unlike JonBenet's corpse discovered wrapped in blankets in the basement. So here, given the nature of the abduction, it is possible, despite negative briefings from the police, that Madeleine is still alive? Assuming it was planned and not a random abduction then the odds increase that Madeleine is still alive, can I draw everyones attention to the german woman who recently escaped from a pedophile who had abducted her as a young girl, then kept her imprisoned in an underground cellar?
So in the absence of a body I reckon Madeleine's parents should continue to raise public awareness that Madeleine is still missing.
From a profiling perspective: if it was a random , chance abduction then why from three children select the eldest, who is heavier to carry and potentially may resist?
This may suggest that Madeleine knew her abductor, that her abductor targeted her individually, possibly travelling from the UK specifically to commit this crime?
So it appears Madeleine's abduction was not random but pre-planned, someone watched, worked out the parents likely schedule and planned an abduction accordingly? e.g. who walks into a holiday resort, then into a random apartment, finding a sleeping girl, picks her up and walks away into the night, knowing nobody will notice either the departure or arrival of Madeleine at her abductors final destination?
So either a member of staff at the holiday resort who had access to Madeleine or someone the McCann's already know, either directly or indirectly, planned the abduction of Madeleine? It was not a crime of impulse.
A random abduction theory in the McCann case, whilst possible, seems to dissolve when you review the facts. It seems more likely that Madeleine's abductor is known, albeit, indirectly by the parents, that Madeleine was deliberately targeted and her abduction deliberate, also that Madeleine's abductor considered the risk of being discovered as low e.g. suggesting long term planning?
imo Madeleine is still alive, and is being kept captive by a pedophile with direct links to the UK, who is aged 30-45, single, employed in a professional capacity, possibly working long hours, who cannot sustain adult relationships, will appear outwardly respectable, dress formally e.g. suits, be multi-lingual, be at ease in a beaureucratic environment, cross-border travel will be regular, possibly as a component of employment. Potentially may have attempted, and failed to adopt a child in a foreign jurisdiction? Is likely to hold a dual nationality passport, possibly currently residing in the non-uk locality?
