I've kept very quiet on this up until now, due to being very close to it. I do not personally know the McCanns, but I know people that do, and they are all adamant that neither parent has anything to do with poor Madeline's disappearance.
I live in the next village to Rothley, my ex-SIL runs the pub in the village square (where all the tributes and yellow ribbons were) so my 2 nieces bedrooms look out on it, Madeline was due to start primary school last week - and it's the same catholic primary school Kayleigh went to, therefore I know lots of people that know them. Not one of these people will hear anything bad about the family, and no-one will hear anything about them being involved. All I have heard is what loving parents they are, and how they are both completely devestated with this whole thing. They are really beating themselves up about leaving the children there. But, as Beanie says, I'm sure we've all left our children somewhere for a very short time thinking they were safe.
If I am wrong, I am wrong. But I do not, in my heart of hearts, believe that either of them had anything to do with this tragic event.
The blood in the apartment could easily have come from a scratch or fall, that can be explained. The DNA in the car could have come from anything, not necessarily blood. Kate has been carrying around Madeline's cuddly toy since she disappeared. That could have had skin, hair, anything on it, and it could have been put in the boot of the car. Remember that in this day and age, it only takes a spec of DNA.
I only hope that Madeline is found alive soon.
