Hi CaliKid, I truly apologise, I'd attributed your post to colomom, gee I really shouldn't be on the computer at gone 2 in the morning....my brain is so frazzled, I have no idea what I have read and where. That post was a work of Art CaliKid and I firmly believe you are spot on.....
this is a brief summary (due to the early hour) of how I 'feel' it went down, there was an 'accident' in the apt. as they were bathing the kids and preparing for the 'party', whatever happened, as Dr's they panicked because they would lose their medical licences, their newly attained lifestyle (they hadn't been qualified for that long):-

Finished medicine and working as a cardiology registrar in Leicestersince Jan 2000 (hopefully temporarily).
(incidently that 'freinds re-united entry used to have a jokey reference along the lines of 'anyone up for a spot of babysitting'...until it was getting a lot of discussion on the forums)
frightened they might lose the twins...etc. I dont feel she was an entirely willing participant, I feel he is very controlling, I'm sure I read somewhere he was in the Army at sometime, have been looking for the link all day, I think it was in the interview regarding their faith with the Catholic mag - I could be wrong, my brain is like mush right now. I think he emotionally persuaded her and he hid that poor soul, I dont think he would have done it nearby, discussion on DS tonight and a link posted that suggested he did have use of a hire car, but not entirely confirmed, I feel they came across some remote spots during their stay, remember when they went for that controversial 'jog' to the mountains, mentioned they did it in 19 minutes or something?....all his previous blogs conveniently removed from the official site!! If they can jog it in minutes, how long would it take in a car?..........he could have 'done the deed' in the space of half an hour....they left for dinner @8.
As for their prolonged stay in Portugal, now I'm seriously wondering if that is
their choice, there was a lot of debate as to why they kept leaving the twins behind while they were off on their mission of finding Madeleine....perhaps they were made to leave them as a 'bond'?....if they are staying there of their own free will, perhaps they want to remain near the 'scene' perhaps they/he has already been back there, plus I think it easier for them to control the dilemma in Portugal, they can be more hands on and maybe want to be in touch with the PLE to try and ascertain if they are gathering a case against them.....hopes this makes sense - is nearly 3 in the morning.
