This time her image has been photoshopped to make her look what her current age would be.
Obviously this is a major story on the Brown Broadcasting Corporation.

As has been said many times, if it had been chav parents who abandoned their child to go drinking the reaction of the world would have been entirely different.

Richard Branson even did a Brawn with the story: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,296953,00.html

I was expecting an image of a small rotting corpse.

That's what she really looks like now.

Sad but true.

It must be so much worse to not know what happened to her. I believe she is dead. Even if she wasnt to begin with the press and the fact that she had quite distintive eyes would have made hiding her almost impossible and more likely caused her death.

I feel for her parents though. They appear so strong and together when i dont even think i could still live if it were me.

Yeah, thats why they have continued a media campaign to search for her for 2 years now, instead of quietly letting it rest so they can get on with their lives. Actions of guilty people if you ask me! rolleyes

Clearly if that is her current hairstyle (if she's alive) - then it won't be much longer.

Maddie is now of a school age, just about wherever she might be in the world, but would anyone risk sending her to school if they were raising them as their own child? The tear in the eye is so utterly distinctive.

She's either dead, or a captive in a Fritzl type dungeon. frown

there are quite a few on here who think that way. It's a kind of anti-doctor, anti-middle class thing some have.

..or its a 'these people appear to be not telling the whole story thing' its got nothing to do with their class or profession.

If they keep denying they know anything about it, they will start believing they dont.

Also, keeping up the "search" means they can access the "find maddie" slush fund. I am not sure they are still working as doctors, are they?

I spoke to the UK forensics bod who was advising over this case last year. I won't mention his name but you can easily google it.

He was adamant the parents were the cause of her death.

So, unless his opinion has changed, I hold it on the very high authority that the parents were indeed involved. There is presumably just insufficient evidence to pursue it further.

I should also add that the chap who gave me this information has devoted most of his professional career to free people who were unfairly imprisoned. So we can safely assume he wouldn't say it unless he was absolutely sure.

So it really isn't conspiracy theory. There is good cause to doubt their claims backed up by opinion leaders in forensics. But being able to prove two very intelligent individuals murdered their own child without motive is not easy. Perhaps impossible.

Really now? So it's not that you spoke to some bloke with peripheral involvement at best who claimed a bigger role and, to make himself look "the big man", touched his nose and told you he knew the inside line?

Hey, man- I believe him; I read it in print right here! They may as well have confessed live on air!

They are responsibile for her disappearance and or death in the eyes of most rational people as they left 2 year old twins and a 3 1/2 year old alone in an appartment while they went out drinking and eating....

And that is just if you beleive the actual story they tell of the incident.

Inexcusable behaviour, but I suspect it's a better story than what "actually" happened.

What I am pretty certain of is that she will never turn up and in a few years we will have a Holywood Blockbuster "Maddie" which the parents / "slush fund" will receive many millions of dollars for.

I am quite surprised Max Cliford never got involved!

He is the real deal mate. He's an advisor to the British government and a part-time University lecturer. The way I understand it is that during the investigation the government hired consultants. He was a senior one and had access to all the information held by the police.

I was attending one of his lectures in Edinburgh. He actually anounced it in a lecture (a small group) -which surprised us all as we were previously told he would not comment on the matter.

His motivation seemed to be that he was incredibly pissed off with the way they were Mcanns we portrayed as an innocent party when he was certain of their involvement.

You can right this off as bullst if you like but that was his opinion and the guy is very high up in forensic circles. As I said before, unless his opinion has changed, I have it on good authority that they're very much involved. I personally think all will become clear in the next few years when one of them buckles.

Are you telling me that they pulled off the perfect murder and body disposal in front of the world's media, and not one Policeman, despite the tens of thousands of hours of investigation could pin it on them?

If they had pulled this off, then they wouldn't be on TV still looking for their daughter. They'd quietly head off into the darkness and thank their lucky stars that they got away with it. Not keep this hanging around for 2 years.

This happens everyday to families all over the world, but because the British Papers pick and choose cases that will sell papers, millions of missing children will never be found.

Me for one think that if the family spent more time fighting the plight of misisng children and not maddie herself, this would bring more awareness to others facing the problem..

I think the police in this case where slow to react due to the carlessness of the parents..
