===== Special Circumstances ===== On the 3rd of May 2007 a little girl mysteriously disappeared from her holidays in Portugal. The parents, [[Gerry McCann|Dr Gerald McCann]] and [[Kate McCann|Dr. Kate Healy-McCann]], from the very beginning were convinced their daughter [[Madeleine Beth McCann|Maddie]] was abducted. But for the [[policia_judiciaria_pj|Police in Portugal (PJ)]], after 4 Months of investigations, the outcome was seemingly clear: The parents were the main suspects for the disappearence of their three year old daughter Maddie. After then but things changed very much. Instead since then there is the [[abduction_of_maddie_theory|abduction hypothesis]] at the center of the new investigations. In 2011 the [[Operation Grange|Operation Grange]] lead by Scotland Yard started to reinvestigate the case. see also Wikipedia ->[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_to_the_disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann|Response to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann]]: //"The disappearance __provoked differing analyses by experts__. Shortly after Madeleine went missing **two former Scotland Yard commanders** expressed the view that __she had been abducted__. **Roy Ramm** considered that it was a __carefully planned kidnapping__ by someone who had been watching the child. **John O'Connor** was of the view that Madeleine __had wandered out__ of the apartment on her own and was subsequently abducted. O'Connor opined that she was likely to be nearby and recommended a thorough search of surrounding occupied premises. This hypothesis was also supported by **criminologist Mark Williams-Thomas** who said, in May 2008, that he believed what happened was that Madeleine woke up, walked around the apartment, found the back patio door was insecure __and wandered out__. It was at this point that she was most likely abducted by an opportunistic predatory paedophile. **Paulo Sargento, a criminal psychologist** at Lusófona University in Lisbon, however had produced in October 2007 a 3D reconstruction of events at the Ocean Club on the evening Madeleine disappeared. His view was that __kidnapping would be inconsistent with the evidence__. The case was also reviewed by the notable **forensic investigator Professor David Barclay** of Robert Gordon University. His opinion was that the __police were right to consider the McCanns as suspects and that the child is probably dead__."// ---- **What really happend in the five hours from 17:30 to 22:30 in [[Praia da Luz|Praia da Luz]]'s [[Ocean Club|Ocean Club]] resort to poor little Maddie Beth McCann?** ---------- ===== Theories ===== __Version 1:__ [[Accidential Killing of Maddie|Accidental Killing of Maddie]] by Parents - preferred by [[policia_judiciaria_pj|PJ Files]] * [[reconstruction_version_1|Possible Reconstruction of the event from evidences released by the PJ]] * [[Libel Cases regarding Version 1|Libel cases (type 1)]] regarding personnel damages against suspected people arising from __Version 1__ * [[Rumors regarding Version 1|Rumors (type 1)]] and [[conspiracy|Conspiracy Theories]] to explain miracles of __Version 1__ * [[Book regarding Version 1|Books close to Version 1]] * [[Oddities regarding version 1|Some Oddities regarding version 1]] * [[Sample Crimes in History Version 1|Sample Crimes in History Version 1]] __Version 2:__ [[Abduction of Maddie Theory|Abduction Theory]] - preferred by [[operation_grange|Operation Grange]] * [[reconstruction_version_2|Possible Reconstruction of an Abduction of Maddie]] * [[Libel Cases regarding Version 2|Libel cases (type 2)]] regarding personnel damages against suspected people arising from __Version 2__ * [[Rumors regarding Version 2|Rumors (type 2)]] and [[conspiracy|Conspiracy Theories]] to explain miracles of __Version 2__ * [[Books regarding Version 2|Books close to Version 2]] * [[Oddities regarding version 2|Some Oddities regarding version 2]] * [[Sample Crimes in History Version 2|Sample Crimes in History Version 2]] ---- * See also [[disclaimer_on_rumors|Disclaimer on Rumors]]. * See also [[where_is_maddie|Where is Maddie?]] ---- =====Involvement of Establishment===== - [[Involvement of Media|Media]] - [[Involvement of Politics|Politics]] - [[british_police|British Police]] - [[Involvement of the British Establishment|British Establishment]] - Money and social Influence - The [[Involvement of the Public|Public]] and the [[webresources|Internet]] - The parents themselves - The [[madeleine_fund|Find-Madeleine-Campaign]] ----
