Hope they can finally get some closure. Just shows the evil that there is in this world and the need to always be on guard.

have my doubts as to whether they can get a conviction, no DNA as yet from those 2 vehicles, no body.....still a tough one to crack?

Convicting anyone is of secondary importance The parents need to find her body if indeed she is dead only then will they have closure

If you don't leave kids alone in an apartment, you don't have this problem...

But yes, they still need closure on it all, and I hope it finally happens one way, or another

My heart goes out to Maddie and what the poor girl had to suffer before her death.

BUT

I have no feelings for the parents leaving three young children in a room in a different country while they went for a meal and drinks is criminal.

Almost impossible to sympathise with the parents. The level entitlement from them was off of the scale.

Tragic that a small child has been a victim and in reality we will never know.

Such a convenient time for the government for this story to drop though.

Perhaps if the parents hadn’t been white middle class folk, with connections to significant people involved in the operation of the country then this wouldn’t get anywhere near the publicity. Is also imagine and they been a poor family or BAME the blame would’ve always lay at the feet of the parents. Somehow in this people forget they neglected their children...intelligent people thought it ok to leave their children alone, on a forgoing country, some way from where they were eating.

All a big mess and as said, a poor little girl was a victim in all this.

They attempted to pursue justice but it was seemingly going a way that didn’t suit the narrative...

This case is unlikely to be ever solved and the question of should tax payer money be used will always be a contentious issue.

If they choose to pursue justice, it should be in the hope they find a child that has been through the most awful trauma...sadly, the story seems a go to when there’s a need to deflect or they’re filling up column inches.

After so long, unless the family pursue privately, surely there is a cut off point for investigation...

By all accounts I think the German police have their man already.Hence a convicted paedophile already in prison in Germany.To much circumstantial evidence for there not to be him.I think they just need something more solid and then they can prosecute.
