I was pondering under what circumstances Mrs.McCann would say "They've taken her" and my imagination came up with a possible one: could they have been blackmailed or are being blackmailed?
Just suppose there's something in their backgrounds that they just don't want come out? Could they be involved in something having to do with the group they were traveling with - something that forced them to be at the tapas with no children. "They've taken her" certainly points to more than one which makes it possible that it took more than one person to carry out this crime. And if they are being blackmailed with threats also against the twins, it would make sense that there might be questions that Mrs. McMann would not answer more definitely. What if she/he feels they cannot trust the police with this information to safeguard Madeleine's return or the safety of the twins?
I guess I'm grasping at straws hoping against hope that these parents are not responsible - :banghead:
