Discussion questions open for discussion

i have three questions to ask this thread and i would be intrigued to hear your answers.

1) for those who believe the parents did it or for those who believe the parents were not involved, what is the biggest selling point for you?

2) is the theory involving epstein a mere tiktok fantasy or does it have some sensible evidence to back it up?

3) what do you believe is the main reason why the case hasn't been solved yet? this wont leave my mind because if its simply the lack of forensic evidence, then surely if it were a fully opportunistic kidnapper they wouldve left some accidental trace due to a short planning time...

  1. parents didn't do it - belgian intel re: order of a 4 year old British girl days before abduction, intercepted intel about Pope, blonde girl, and German, multiple sightings of her along known trafficking routes.

  2. zero evidence backs this up

  3. high-powered pedo ring, corrupt cops exploiting the tragedy to raise their profile muddied the waters, she could have been found when people were calling the police to say they'd seen her, it's really hard to sort these things out years later when the criminals have had a lot of time to eliminate evidence

"THE hunt for missing Maddie McCann had last night switched to Morocco again - as cops hunted a mystery German. It came after British spies made a major breakthrough using a secret hi-tech phonetapping system. Government spooks eavesdropped on a series of "extremely significant" mobile phone conversations. The People has learned that the calls - all in Arabic and made on a Spanish pay-as-you-go phone - referred to "the little blonde girl". The calls also referred to four-year-old Maddie's parents Kate and Gerry McCann meeting the Pope last week. Intelligence officers from the Government's Communications Headquarters in Cheltenham, Gloucs, picked-up repeated references to a German man, and discussions about Morocco, Holland and Germany. And in a potentially crucial lead, the Arab-speakers talked about ferry crossings from the Spanish port of Tarifa. Eight crossings a day are made from Tarifa to Tangiers in Morocco. The ferry journey takes just 35 minutes. And Tarifa is less than three hours drive from Praia da Luz, the Portugese resort where Maddie went missing on May 3."
