There are many questions the public would like answered by the McCann's;
Why did you leave your three young children alone in a foreign country?
Why didn't you lock the windows to the hotel room?
Why didn't you use the hotel's babysitting facility's?
Why did Kate McCann wash Madeline's favorite toy, 'Cuddle Cat'?

That last question seems to be the most important to many people. If your child has gone missing why would you want to wash away your child's scent from their favorite toy? Yes, you would carry it around with you but you wouldn't ever wash it. Many believe Kate could have washed it get rid of any DNA left behind.

The media also believe that Kate and Gerry gave Madeline an accidental overdose of sedatives. If you think about that assumption clearly and sensibly and take into account that both Kate and Gerry are qualified doctors, it seems very unlikely that they could have made that big mistake, especially with their own child.

Emotion. Kate and Gerry don't seem to have shed many tears, if any, in front of the watching eyes of the media. Many believe that is strange. But they have two young children they need to be strong for. The thing we need to remember when we see the McCann's is that people show and deal with grief in many different ways. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors when the media's flash of photographer's have disappeared.

Why would the McCann's set up a fund to help find Madeline if they had killed her themselves? Can anyone really be that cruel and callous and come up with this lie just for money or publicity to cover their own backs?
How can anyone keep up with a lie like that in front of the worlds media, in front of their family and friends? Nobody is that cruel and nobody can keep up a lie for as long has Madeline has been missing.
Yes there are a lot of questions that still need answering but Kate and Gerry haven't killed their own child.
The media and police need to stop focusing all their attention on that and start looking at the bigger picture again. A child is missing and needs to found.
