My theory is that she was taken - it is the only one that makes sense to me - everything else just doesn't
How she was taken we cannot be sure - but I believe she was taken and driven out of the country that night and in Spain before the next morning.
I think it was planned and probably involved two people who either had inside knowledge of how easy it was to access the apartment. they knew the kids were being left alone and after a couple of nights watching - made their move. Access via the patio door which was unlocked and then some chloroform and maddy is handed out window to accomplice who quickly gets to a vehicle . Perp 1 either exists the same way - or back the way he came making sure that they were not spotted ,
I dont disagree at all my only problem is why the 3rd May? Prior to the 3rd we have no idea how often they were checking the children, and from what I have read in OFFICIAL files one child was heard crying for over an hour....so perhaps they were not checking as often as they said on the 3rd May.
IF I was watching I would work out what time the adults went out for dinner, then I would strike as its the best time as you know they are going to be there for at least 30 minutes.
I dont believe there were 2 people. If there was an abduction it was one person, who knew the patio door was unlocked.
Its easy to slip in, pick a sleeping child up, go out the FRONT DOOR and then travel to the left through the dark car park and away. So by 8.40 all done, and the child could be ANYWHERE in the morning.
The only thing that stopped me and others pushing this theory was the absolute statement from Gerry that he saw her at 9.10, the fact tanner said she saw creepy man at 9.15.
I dont think if someone was watching that they would do it much later as they would know people are bringing children back from creche around 10pm.
I dont think the sighting by Smith has much to do with it.
In PDL there are a lot of tunnels, anyone who knows the area could have easily used one and never been seen.
I am on the fence about the parents.
I can even work around the dogs.
IF the perb was a chronic pedophile, perhaps they had killed a child etc.
IF they had to hide in McCanns wardrobe the death scent can be transferred.
IF the perb touched the toy for example it would transfer onto that too.
The trouble also with chloroform is it has a really sweet sickly smell, if for example the perb took her 9.40 the smell would still be in the room, Mrs McCann being a medic would recognise it.
I dont believe in any of the theorys that say she died before the 3rd it makes no sense.
Anyway I can see both sides of the story.
