The Disappearance of Madeleine Mccann

I have just finished watching the 7th of 8 episodes, and I keep changing my mind after everyone about whether it was the parents or not. Very interesting documentary that gets better every episode. What are everyone's thoughts on the documentary and do you think the parents played a part or not? I do find their lack of emotion during most interviews very odd...

Some good bits but they padded it with loads of guff to fill 8 episodes.1

Halfway through.
Quite how the parents managed to cover a crime of that magnitude would take some doing wouldn't it?
Portugal old bill next to useless.
Parents heavily negligible. Disgraceful leaving their kids alone whilst they went off to have a bite to eat and get on the piss. But I guess they'll have to live with that.9 -
Thousands of kids go missing every year.
Every child is as important as the next.
Why we have spent tens of millions on this one case (as sad as it is ) and others never get a mention I do not know.
Had this been a working class couple from a council estate it would barely make the news but because they are educated doctors it is seen in a different way.
RIP the little girl as I as sure she died years ago.34 -

They will have to live with it but I’ve always got the impression they don’t think they did anything wrong. Because they are middle class and educated they have managed not just to keep it in the media but also persuade the politicians and the Met to keep up the searh. Meanwhile we have to live with the mounting costs ...carly burn said:Halfway through.

I really shouldn’t comment but those two really infuriate me for some reason.7 -
They are guilty of wasting taxpayers money. That sounds bad in a way because a little girl went missing but I am 100% in agreement with Blackpool72 on this one.
They were negligible but I doubt they had anything to do with the actual disappearance. I think the case would have been solved had it happened here. The Portuguese messed up the entire thing from start to finish and should be ashamed.1 -

I honestly can’t see that the parents had anything to do with her disappearance.
It would be a very risky/stupid tactic to keep campaigning for continued police investigation funding if you were in any way involved.6 -

I posted a link to the trailer a couple of days before it went on Netflix on the original thread, but it seems like that thread was sunk as my post didn’t bump it to page 1.

Said for years and will carry on saying so
Madeline was sick, her dad medicated her and didnt tell her mum, her mum then medicated her and she died from an accidental overdose, however both parents being doctors did not want to risk their licence or reputation so made the whole abduction thing up and cant go back15 -

I’ve thought similar in the past, but over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that I just can’t see how they would have pulled it off.
The timelines involved don’t give them the opportunity to discard the body in my opinion.
And they could be the best actors in the world but if you’ve just been involved in your daughters death, something would give, you could not maintain that act. The group of friends would surely have started getting suspicious. Things would not have added up.
I just can’t see it and I really looked hard.
They were def partly to blame for the disappearance though through negligence.9 -
Maybe, but if it was classed as an accidental death then there may have been no prison sentence, but medical icence would have been gone and there personal and proffesional lives would be overJoshAddick said:

Christ even the dodgy characters on Jeremy Kyle face a lie detector test. I am right that neither of the McCann's have faced one yet?3

Yep. My mum told me Gerry did my Grandads triple heart bypass. Or another operation on him...The Organiser said:

Zero chance the parents were involved. Like others have said, there were too many people about and the timescales would make it impossible. Furthermore they do seem like decent people.
Whilst leaving Madeline to sleep in an unlocked room was careless, they've paid the price and then some. People do wreckless things all the time. The McCanns were just seriously unlucky.
Don't buy the argument about wasting taxpayers money. If our children went missing, we wouldn't give two hoots about whose money is funding what. You'd just be focused on getting the truth.16 -

We watched all episodes. I thought it about seven episodes to many. Lots of fillers, what ifs and finger pointing but no real evidence other than what the world has known for ten years.
The spainish private investigator summed it up for me when he said he wanted to help, find something or the child, but there was nothing. No leads, nothing.
I personally believe the parents were to blame, they were reckless and selfish in the extreme leaving not only one young child alone but also their two other children. Also the other parents in the party also did the same with their children. As parents we (my wife and I), always took the view that a family eats together and goes out together. If the children are knackered, tough, we all stay in. My experience of Southern Europe is, they are very family friendly and very accommodating of children to the extent that they expect you to have your children with you.
I don’t think their are any conspiracies here involving the parents or authorities, just the kidnapping and probable murder of a child by a person or persons unknown. Probably one very sick individual because it’s very difficult keep secrets when more than one person is involved, people talk eventually.

Illegal sedation gone wrong days before, gave them time to dispose the body.
Abduction made up.
Allegedly.2 -
Tragic and we will never find out the truth of the actual events.1

She was at the kids club the day she disappeared.6

The person(s) to blame is/are the abductor(s).0

Swap middle class Kate and Jerry for an un-photogenic unemployed single mother.
Swap Portuguese holiday complex for an English council estate.
Swap tapas bar 200 yards from room for local pub down the road.
Are you telling me in that instance, the mum who left her child alone and was abducted, would not face charges of neglect for going off drinking and also have her other kids taken into care?
Whilst I dont believe they killed her/covered up anything, they are definitely guilty of neglect and I believe they have gotten a very easy ride in comparison to what would happen in the other scenario I have suggested.

That’s my theory over.9
