Many people have been watching the story unfold of the missing girl Madeleine McCann, but a few still think that all the news reporters just want to make money on the story. But this is wrong , its all about Madeleine - finding her safe and well or, if the worse happened, finding who is responsible for her disappearance.
Following the story of the missing girl Madeleine there are three questions that I would like to know your answers too.
How can the blood in the hire car which was hired after the disappearance of Maddy be explained?
And what about the scent of a corpse found by sniffer dogs on her mum’s jeans and t-shirt?
But the question every body wants to know
Did the McCanns do it?
These are three questions that point the finger too the parents but there doesn’t seem to be enough evidence to say exactly what happen to missing Madeleine.
Let us know your thoughts as no one knows what happened yet so you are more than entitled to your opinion .

The whole issue is very suspicious.I thought there was something sus about them from the beginning…they lack emotion & feelings
Hi Joe,
The McCanns were advised by experts NOT to show emotion as the abducter may of “Got off on it”
DNA is not the “Answer All” that we are led to believe much of Madeleine`s DNA would be shared by her family.
I lifted this from another site………….
I also wrote a book about DNA fingerprinting. I went to Leicester University to speak to Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, the man who discovered the process that has changed the world, and which is certainly changing the McCanns’ world.
Alec Jeffreys? One of life’s genuine people. He didn’t make a penny from his discovery, and stayed instead in his lab, smoking his roll-ups and being a proper scientist.
Over a few of those rollies he explained how DNA fingerprinting works, how he stumbled over it while researching oxygenisation in seal tissues, how it is based on otherwise meaningless junk DNA - and how it is absolutely not infallible. But surely you know that?
Or you would have known that if you lived in the United States, where the famous Castro case blew the infallibility theory out of the water by simply challenging the way DNA was tested.
You would definitely have know that if your name was Raymond Easton. Mr Easton entered the history books in 2000 by being arrested for a burglary 200 miles from his home.
The fact that he suffered from Parkinson’s disease, was in a wheelchair and couldn’t dress himself was ignored because, hey, there was a DNA match.
Did he do it? No - someone else with same DNA print-out did. But it took a ridiculously long time and more advanced testing before he was cleared.

My opinion is that the McCann`s are INNOCENT.
Robert.
Completely innocent and deserve support.
The McCanns have given too much time on their defence and have too many people protecting them to be innocent. Their whole world should be about finding their little girl but they use this to earn points and throw smoke screens against the truth.
I believe they are innocent. The police claim to have found evidence, but in each evidentiary claim there is a wide margin for error and misinterpretation.
Case in point: the smell of death is both unreliable and open to conjecture. Sniffer dogs often give false positives. How do we know they weren’t detecting a whiff of steak sandwich?
Case in point: The “blood” in the car. Other news sources say it was merely DNA. And current DNA tests are so sophisticated they can detect DNA from flakes of skin or a strand of hair, both of which easily adhere to clothing and luggage.
I think everyone is desperate. We all want to find her. But the police are clutching at straws (or strands of hair.)
In response to Karen - the sniffer dogs used in the McCanns apartment are sought after world wide for a reason. Not only do they detect an individual cadavers scent, they can distinguish that exact cadaver even if it is buried in a pile of other cadavers. Each cadaver has a unique chemical scent that the sniffer dog can detect. Therefore, your comment about the steak sandwich is illformed and ridiculous.
I hope that the outstanding forensic results come through shortly and that they are significant. I believe that the forensic lab in Birmingham is world class and that their findings are solid. In any case, the public are not made aware of everything.
I believe that the McCanns are guilty and that they are ‘clutching at straws’ to avoid punishment. I have faith that our police and our forensic team will corner them and that their futile string pulling will amount to nothing.
It does not make sense that this family would fight so hard to keep Madeleine’s profile high and her disappearance in the forefront of the news if they were guilty. Nor would they have requested Britian to loan sniffer dogs and forensic analysis to the Portuguese police.
I have always believed they are innocent.
I believe that Madeleine died on or around the early evening of May 3. I do believe that her parents know where the body has been placed. Here is a partial list of why I believe this:
In the five months since Madeleine disappeared, there have been no credible sightings of her. Not once when a sighting was made, did the McCann’s travel to the area, nor did they even ask to speak to the person who claimed to see Madeleine. I believe they knew it wasn’t Madeleine, therefore they have no reason to go.
The McCann’s lied about not been able to talk about the case when they were witness. They could have talked about all they personally knew regarding the night of May 3. The only thing they could not reveal is any information Police may have told them.
There have been British Police officers involved in this investigation since May 5. British officers were in another room listening and feeding questions to Portuguese officers during the McCann’s interrogation. The McCann’s refused to answer 40 questions during this interrogation, one question was, “who was the last person to see Madeleine alive?”
The sniffer dogs, Eddie and Keela, are reliable and are currently in use in a U.S. case. The sniffer dogs along with the bodily fluids and clumps of hair found in the Renault, blood found in the apartment are forensic evidence of Madeleine’s death. FSS in Britain are world renowned and they are the ones doing the forensic work. There is still the intercepted phone calls and e-mails that relate to that night and we do not know what they may contain as yet.
The blood in the car could have gotten there when items that came into contact with the body (sheets, towels, clothes) were placed into the wheel well for later disposal. I want to think that the scent on Mrs. McCann’s jeans and shirt came from her hugging or holding her dead child’s body one last time. How sad it would be if no one did hold her one last time.
The McCann’s and the rest of the Tapas 7 have changed their time line and stories from that night several times now. The truth doesn’t change, and it doesn’t need 4 lawyers and PR people.
Sharon,
This is all just speculation. You have not quoted where you have taken any of this ‘beliefs’ from. But you have used them here as being fact, not opinion. Therefore, the only conclusion I can come to is that you are listening to what is written in the papers.
How do you know all this information (about the blood in the car and the interview q’s etc) is fact? Because the rest of the world don’t know for sure!! All the papers have ‘well placed sources’ but you’re naive if you think this means anything.
I am not saying that I am 100% right in thinking that they are innocent, although I believe with my heart that they are. If you have a gut feeling about something then by all means, voice your opinion. But don’t use all this evidence to back up your feeling when we all know it’s not reliable.
The papers write what they want, they do it for money. That’s their business and their cashing in if people like you believe everything they make up. I beg you to take a more independant outlook on this. Look at what has happened to this poor family. These are two learned people who I can’t imagine would do anything to harm their daughter, then proceed to cover it up for 5 months! They are always trying to keep her dissapearence in peoples minds.
I pray every day that this will be resolved one way or another.

To Fiona, YOUR comment is ‘illinformed and ridiculous’,experts have explained that accuracy of dog cadaver scents does not rule after twenty days(or before this for the matter),however they were brought in much later on,in fact months on. To those who judge the parents and are quick to lay blame with no proof whatsoever,I hope one day when you are in need you get no help from anyone, and since you are not going to help find missing children al least don’t try to savotage others’ efforts and leave the families alone,as they already have enough suffering without your ignorant and wicked pathetic words.YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INFLICT PAIN ON OTHERS,THE MCCANNS AS DOCTORS SPENT THEIR TIME LOOKING AFTER OTHERS,YOU WHO TRY TO DESTROY THEM:YOU DESERVE NOTHING.
