Honestly it seems to me some people are more interested in seeing the McCanns suffer than finding Madeleine. What happened, happened, as already stated that is NOT what this thread is about.
Conne, I think that the reason why only Madeleine was taken was because she was targeted, probably to order. And the reasons for that don't bear thinking about.

Ruling anyone out as a suspect is not good policing. That includes the parents.
Anyway, when the poor old Met finally realise that this was a crime comitted in Portugal and that they don't speak Portguese - which I am sure can't possibly have occurred to anyone - then the McCanns will be about the only people they CAN interview :-)
Theresa May sure is after that job :-)

/// They were just eating a short distance away in the complex, hardly the image of leaving them alone. ///
I wonder if some would be so understanding if it had been a single mother who had left her young children alone in their own house, so as to go for a drink in the local pub,and in her own street never mind about alone in a foreign country?

Oh gawd, sorry, my excuse is I'd just got up. Doh!
Honestly sqad, I am NOT suggesting our police are infallible, we all know they're not. But if they don't take on Maddie's case and follow up the leads they say they have found, then who will?
Did you read the criticism of the PP at the time, admittedly in the English press. Copied from Wiki:
Criticism of the police
Yellow ribbons in Rothley
There was extensive criticism of the Portuguese police in the British media. The first police officers to arrive acted as if Madeleine had wandered off, which resulted in a failure to secure the crime scene. Madeleine's favourite toy, Cuddle Cat, was with her in bed on the night she disappeared, and was found still on the bed after she disappeared, but police failed to secure it or check for DNA the abductor might have left on it.[95] Neither border nor marine police were given descriptions of Madeleine for many hours after she vanished, and officers did not appear to have made extensive door-to-door inquiries.[96] The police failed to ask for surveillance pictures of vehicles leaving Praia da Luz at the time of the disappearance, or of the road between Lagos and Vila Real de Santo António on the Spanish border.[97] Another mistake was misreporting the height of the man Jane Tanner and the Irish family saw carrying a child on the night of the disappearance. This was given in a Portuguese press release as 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m), but mistakenly appeared in the English version as 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m).[38]
