Madeleine Mccann Is Missing In Portugal

There's a resemblance, but I just don't think so for a variety of reasons. I could probably find 6 different little girls in my town who RESEMBLES Maddy.

Nope. Even though the young pics have the regular what I call "chubby toddler nose" and I know my huge honker looked like that at one time, the upturn on the sighting picture is just too turned up to be from the same kid. IMO
 
I cannot imagine her parents buried her body anywhere on the grounds. More likely, after retrieving her body from its hiding place behind the couch, they loaded her in the trunk and dumped her in the ocean.

But this travesty becomes more perverse with every update.....

Brenda Leyland, 63, was said to be one of the people who tweeted abusive messages that targeted the McCanns.​
[...]
woman who was accused of being part of an online hate campaign against missing girl Madeleine McCann’s parents was found dead, just days after her alleged trolling was exposed.

The body of Brenda Leyland, 63, was found in a hotel room in Leicester, England, on Saturday afternoon
[...]
Leyland, who allegedly used the now-deactivated Twitter handle @sweepyface, was confronted by Sky News’ Martin Brunt earlier this week.

She was reportedly one of the dozens of Internet “trolls” who posted vicious messages about Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann
[...]
In one of her tweets, she said the McCanns should suffer “for the rest of their miserable lives,”
[....]
When asked by Brunt on camera why she regularly attacked the McCanns on Twitter, Leyland said, “I’m entitled to.”

Leyland is believed to have fled from her home in Leicestershire after she was exposed
[...]
“The death is not being treated as suspicious,” the Leicestershire Police told
[...]
British authorities have reportedly been given a dossier containing pages of tweets, Facebook posts and message board posts that target the McCann family. The collection, which was compiled by supporters of the family, includes death threats and other abusive messages.

Madeleine McCann DNA hope: Met Police in talks to check mystery samples from holiday flat
British experts will attempt to solve the Madeleine McCann mystery by testing “stranger” DNA from her holiday flat.

Detectives hope advances in new technology will help them nail her abductor, as they re-test 30 strands of hair and other samples locked away for seven years in Portugal.
[...]
where the DNA is being held, said: “Technology now allows us to go further than years ago in areas like genetic markers.

“I wouldn’t like to be that ambitious and say the secret to unlocking the Madeleine McCann case lies in our lab.

“But if this case was resolved it would be the best solution. And if we could cooperate with that, it would of course be wonderful.”
Met detectives today held talks with institute bosses over the samples, which could not previously be identified and belong to a stranger. The DNA could even be brought to UK labs.
[...]
are now set to apply for access to the evidence after the breakthrough meeting.

Mr Brizida added: “I have the certainty they went away very happy. The tone of the meeting was about the possibility of the tests on samples collected in 2007 being re-done.

“The British police wanted clarification on the examinations the institute had carried out during the early stages of the inquiry in the areas of genetics and biology.
[...]
“I can’t say for sure new DNA tests that didn’t yield a conclusive result in 2007 could now yield an objective result.

"Several possibilities are open. One could be that British police do tests in Britain with British technology and another that the institute does them."
[...]
Reports at the time said tests on evidence from the apartment found DNA corresponding to six people. Only five were linked to the McCann family.
[...]
This could be vital evidence in the sarch for Madeleine. The best hope is to pass the sample to British officers, with whom the Portuguese have been liaising.”

Police digs in Praia da Luz and interviews with new suspects over the summer both ended in disappointment.

Thank you for the update. I have reservations about this, though: This is a holiday flat. What sort of circumstances can they have found this "stranger DNA" in that the stranger matched cannot just turn around and say: "Yes, I was in that flat the weeks before"?

Well I would hope that as they have identified it as "stranger DNA" that it would infer that they have tested against Maddie's family and previously registered guests and staff who utilized/entered the room and that it did not match to any of them. It's also quite possible that it was found within the room in an area that was certified by them as having been cleaned/laundered ... perhaps from her pillowcase, sheets etc. If they eventually match it to someone who uses the "I was in there before" arguement, he'd best hope that he's staff or a previous guest ... or that the guest who had the room when he claims he was in there verifies that he was in there "visiting" them during their stay.

Cripes, it would be nice to locate this child and have her home one way or another soon; it's been far too long.
 
UPDATE: Pedophile arrested in Madeleine McCann case assaulted NSW child
A British man believed to have knowledge of missing Madeleine McCann reportedly fled NSW after being convicted of child sex offences in the late 1990s.
[...]
reporting that 76-year-old Roderick McDonald will be questioned by UK police about a possible pedophile ring linked to the three-year-old's disappearance in Portugal more than seven years ago.

McDonald, known as Roderick William Robinson while in Australia, has previously been convicted of a number of sex offences, and received a six-month sentence for the sexual assault of a nine-year-old girl in Sydney in 1998-1999
[...]
He was arrested by police at Sydney Airport in 2001 on three charges but fled the country on bail and spending years on the run before being arrested in Portugal.
[...]
being extradited in Australia, he pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault of a child under 10, and served his sentence.

McDonald has been on the run again since being convicted in 2012 of abusing two girls, was arrested and is being held in Malta
[....]
He will be deported back to England to serve his prison sentence and will also face questions by detectives investigating Madeleine's disappearance from a hotel in Portugal in 2007.

McDonald is said to be a "notorious" pedophile and was known to have been in Portugal at the time of Madeleine's disappearance but has never been interviewed by police
[...]
The newspaper says McDonald was once extradited to Australia to face charges of raping an eight-year-old girl.

He reportedly received a six-month jail sentence after pleading guilty and after being freed he left the country for Thailand.

I don't know about this one. He seems skeevy/should probably be castrated and all, but my question... Why did he leave the other victims alive (I don't know that Madeline is not alive, but I doubt it after all this time) and to be found to tell their stories? He did so even after Madeline went missing, correct? (Assuming when he was convicted in 2012 that the offense occurred after 2007...) So his M.O. doesn't seem to ring the same with Madeline's case.

I hope if he didn't do it personally, he can at least provide new and reliable information on the case.

I read a theory once that Amy Billig, an American teenager who disappeared in 1974, would likely have been released alive if her family had not kept so much attention focused on the case for so long. The writer theorized that the abductor had to kill her because she had become "too hot to handle."

I think about that a lot when I read about poor Madeleine.
 
I remember that case. I followed it for many years. Amy's mother was very out spoken and kept attention focused on the case even putting herself in danger in an effort to solve her disappearance on her own.

She devoted her entire life to keeping Amy at the forefront of everyone's mind because she thought that was the best way to get her back. I was horrified to read that all of her efforts might actually have backfired, but I could see the logic in the theory. Based on the conditions surrounding Amy's disappearance, the experiences of other victims under similar circumstances strongly suggest that Amy might have been taken, abused and then released if so much fuss hadn't been raised about her disappearance.

Another thing I have thought of is that having Madeleine's pics displayed so prominently all over the world and drawing so much attention to her unusual eye may have made it impossible for a kidnapper to have arranged an illegal adoption if that was his/her intent. Instead, the kidnapper may have "had" to dispose of her, or sell her to someone who would dispose of her when he was done with her. Of course, most kidnappings aren't done with adoption as the aim, but I am sure the McCanns hope desperately that Madeleine's case was one of the rare exceptions.
 
OK, a question for DD members in the UK. I know that in some countries parents routinely leave their children outside of shops in strollers and do other things no one would think of doing in North America. I would never for a minute think it was safe to leave three small children alone in a motel room, but somehow these intelligent young professionals did. Was this an isolated case of very bad judgement, or is this something that might be considered ok in Britain?
 
The parents were sitting on the resorts common patio a mere 50 yards away. My backyard is deeper. While I was growing up in Europe, this certainly wasn't uncommon for my parents to do either.

Not actually in Britain, but families going abroad do. Probably not so much now after Maddies disappearance. Most places let you take the kids in so you don't need a babysitter. We always just brought our kids wherever we were going, it's their holiday too fs.
I was very worried about the busy roads and the swimming pool that wasn't fenced off, I wouldn't have left the kids in case one of them wandered off and got knocked down or drowned or something. So many things could happen, without worrying about the paedos too.
I do remember reading about a British boy who was molested in Spain by a British tourist when he went to the bathroom near the pool. Sometimes it doesn't matter how vigilant you are.

Thank you for your reply.

My understanding is that they couldn't see the door to the room from where they were sitting. Would that have made a difference?

I'm definitely not criticizing. When I was six years old, my mother waved goodbye as I walked to school every morning, and then the school sent me on my way in the afternoon to walk home alone. That was how it was done. Today, CPS would be involved. Back then, no one batted an eye, but if a girl had come to school in pants, she would have been sent home (alone) to change and her parents' parenting skills would have been questioned. Cultural norms vary from place to place and even from time to time.

You're right. I've always wondered about this, because the parents seem so responsible. It just seemed like it must have just seemed like an ordinary thing to do and they weren't worried until they found her gone.
 
The parents were sitting further than 50 feet away from their room ..
They should have been charged for leaving three very young children unattended, that and being dumb-ass, fucks ..
They're lucky, all three kids weren't taken ..

Where I was raised that was done routinely, too. They are more likely to try and take the prams into shops with them these days, but outside cafés it is still not uncommon to see a couple of prams turned so they face the window and the parents sitting at a table inside while the baby sleeps outside.

People used to do it all the time when I was young, I'm sure my mummy did with me lol. Shops were a lot smaller back then though. I think all the abduction and molestation in the news has made people wise up.
