Missing Maddie - one year on

Hardly believable that it is a year ago since little Madeleine McCann went missing from a resort in Portugal, days before her 4th birthday. Much has been speculated, particularly the innocence of Maddie's parents Gerry and Kate and their possible involvement in their daughter's disappearance. Although you can't rule it out, you'd hope that it isn't true - I mean, how could anyone do anything sinister to their own children? Ask that of the monster Josef Fritzl , surely the most sick of all fathers (if he can call himself that). When his daughter Elisabeth turned 18, he bundled her into the cellar where he kept her prisoner for 24 years. That's bad enough but continually raping her and producing 7 children from him makes your stomach turn and brings tears to your eyes. Just when you think you've heard the most horrific incident possible, you hear of an every worse one.

Anyway, I digress. I would imagine the chances of finding Maddie alive after such a long time are very slim, but I get that feeling that just maybe she is. You can't imagine what her parents are going through and they won't be able to rest until they know what has happened to their little princess.


The photo on the left (above) turned out to be a red herring but you can see the resemblence to Maddie. How hopes must have been severely dashed.

Naturally there will be plenty of press on the 1st anniversary of her abduction but there can hardly be any complaints from Gerry and Kate (even despite the allegations) because there are plenty of other children and adults who go missing every single day, and no-one hears about them.
