Back in May a little blond girl went missing. She has not been seen since, and the world has waited with breathless anticipation for an answer, some sort of close to the case.

At first we watched with hearts pounding as her mother jumped onto our television screen, making a much too calm plea to the persons responsible for her daughter's disappearance. We clutched our own children as she told of how her daughter was special, and begged an unknown abductor not to hurt her.

But what of the oddness of this entire case? Did we think it was okay for this mother and doctor to leave three very small children all alone in a hotel room, in a foreign country? Did we really think about what it would mean if someone went into their room and took only the oldest of the three children? How strange was it that neither of the babies, (who were on either side of little Madeleine by the way) were disturbed in any sense of the word?

We were told neither of the little twins awoke. We were told that she was the only one taken, even though she had been laying in between her sleeping siblings.

We watched in horrified fascination as the media told us the McCanns were suspects, and we listened with wide eyes and hands clutched to our throats when they told us that the rental car had DNA from a dead body, which they believed was Madeleine's DNA. Her hair, was also in the car. The McCanns tried to claim that it must have been rub off from a blanket or clothing, but the hair had changed chemically and it was from a body, not from a live child. We were told how the cadaver dogs reacted to Madeleine's mother, how they could smell death on her. And we laughed when some lady called into Nancy Grace and said, "Um my question is couldn't that car have been used by someone else to transport the daughter's body before the McCanns rented it?". We all knew the odds of that were to slim to even contemplate.

But somewhere deep down none of us wants to believe that little Maddie was murdered by her parents. So we sit here and say, "There has to be some other explanation. How could a parent do such a thing, and launch a campaign like that?"

I agree it is hard to comprehend. But you have to realize the McCanns may have done this by accident, or they may have lost their temper for a short time. They still love their child, and they certainly don't want to be caught, and to never again see their twins. So they had to do it to play it out, to make them not be suspects. The problem is that with lying, you have to make another lie, and another and another. And soon it isn't believable any longer. Soon everyone can see something is fishy.

I also believe that they needed to do something to make the world remember their little girl. They loved her so much, and now she is gone, and they want the entire world to mourn her loss, not just them. So this campaign has two purposes, the first to try and keep them in the clear, and the second to ensure that the entire world remembers their baby girl.

They killed her either by accident or on purpose, either way they are the ones who are at fault. I won't change my stance unless the child is found alive, and I am quite positive it will never happen.
