Ive made a banner for this if anyone wishes to use it to show support.
Every morning I hope and pray that they have found Maddy alive and every day we turn on the news to find out she is still missing. Because she went misssing abroad it's difficult to understand if it was a peodophile that kidnapped her of if it was someone who was suffering from mental health problems. Whatever the reasons as time goes on her family is never going to get over this ordeal.
Alan you are not alone in your feelings for this terrible ordeal. I think that as soon as the news released that a child has gone missing then it's just a waiting game until our worst fears are confirmed. No matter how many innocent children go missing we are still distraught at the outcome. I was on portobello beach in Edinburgh 24 years ago come 8 July, the day Caroline Hogg dissapeared me and my friend where asked by the police if we had seen anything and we joined the search for her until late at night. Every time a child goes missing I always think of that day and I still don't know if she walked past me with her abducter.
Theres an interesting piece on Sky News' website, an interview with former Scotland Yard Detective, John O'Connor. Hes apparently been in Portugal and theres a video piece of his interview, explaining why he believes that she may have, in fact, wondered off from the complex herself, to a nearby supermarket and was then taken from there.

Whatever the circumstances, I so hope that she is found safe and well and this doesn't turn into another Ben Needham case. The parents need some kind of closure, and whilst no one wants to think the worse, including myself, to be left with no answers isn't an option I wouldn't want to have.
I agree. Whilst we all hope that she turns up safe and well it would be hell on earth for her parents if she never turned up at all. Like us all they would always be wondering what is happening to her.Quote:

Going through my life, wondering, waiting - I don't think I could do it, even with the support of my family and having my other children around me. I really don't want to fear the worst for this poor little girl, I really don't, but as time goes on, you wonder if there will ever be an outcome to this, or if we all will be left wondering what happened to her, just like Ben.Quote:

The sad thing is that they actually seem like a really nice little family who would do anything for each other and not one of these nasty people in the world that get away with all sorts and couldn't give a toss about each other. It always seems to happen to the nicest, most loving people, that's what I find.
I too, pray she's found safe soon.

Police are searching a villa 150 yeards from the family's apartment http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6655907.stm
Thought I'd pull this bit out - Ms Hill said the single-storey villa was owned by a British woman named Jenny Murat and that her son Robert was a frequent visitor.
Mrs Murat, who is believed to be 71 and a widow, has been running a stall on the seafront in Praia da Luz, appealing for information from the public about Madeleine's disappearance.
This reminds me of the Soham murders and how Ian Huntly made television appeals when all along he was the one who had killed the girls. Maybe this is the case here. Maybe this woman has something to do with Maddie's abduction.
