I know this is going to sound mean.. but it's what my dad said to me about 6 weeks after Madeline disappeared....
He believed that she had got up in the night... couldn't find her mum or dad and had wandered out of the apartment....down to the beach and fallen in, where she would have been easily washed out to sea... It would have accounted for why no leads have ever panned out, why no clues have been found....
Unfortunately in missing child cases, if the child is not found within the first 72 hours it is unlikely to be found. There are exceptions, but this case has really had nothing to go on for such a long time. I feel really sorry for her parents... I can't ever imagine loosing my little girl.
and if its her parents it's likely to have been the work of only one of her parents... so you still have to feel sorry for the other one.
