    I suppose if they let them go they're not "really" suspects.

    Why is it that there's been so much publicity in the media about this case, yet 1000s of children go missing each year (and adults as well) and they're only usually mentioned in the local papers?

    Because there aren't thousands of children who go missing every year? There are many kids who are older, eg teenagers, who run away for a night or two and are generally staying at a friends. That's in a completely different league to a small child going missing, which is very rare.

    I think the friend went in the apartment but not into the room the kids were in, strangely enough.

    It's none of our business what has happened to Madeleine. It's something for the parents and the family.
    I beg to differ. Whilst I understand that you are referring to the media sticking its nose in too much, it's a dangerous thing to say. A child's welfare is everybody's business.

    It's not blood they found in the car, just some dna, like a strand of hair off the teddy bear she carries or something.

    I can't imagine that standing up in court, tbh.

    But Kate McCann washed the teddy bear ("Cuddle Cat", isn't it?) so the likelihood of there still being a hair on there is minimal.

    The way I have been lead to understand it is that they found two different types of her DNA - second party, which is probably from something which belongs to her or something, and her ACTUAL DNA which could only have come from her.

    TBH, I think the McCanns are fucked.

    It's possible the DNA could have come from one of the twins, as sibling DNA is very similar, and the sample they've found isn't very good. It is odd that they found it under the carpet in the boot of the car though :chin:

    Did they really?! I didn't know that bit.

    In which case, they really ARE fucked, aren't they?!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6988485.stm At the end of the page it explains about the sibling DNA being similar. I can't find the story that said about where it was found, because there are so many damn stories about it!

    I ask again: If they were really suspects, would the police have let them leave the country? Now even if they find a video of them killing the kid, they won't be able to do anything about it.

    They can be recalled to Portugal at 5 days notice, and the prosecutor can put other restrictions on them if needs be, I think.

    Is that so? I was under the impression that if you leave the country that you committed a crime in, they can't do anything to you unless you re-enter it.
