the latest conjecture on the subject I've heard is she was kidnapped by sex traffickers . A horrific thought.

are so many details that don't add up, including the corpse/blood sniffing dogs, the mother refusing to answer like 100 questions (?), etc.
I followed this story very closely when it happened. I wonder if there is anything new?

Since you've watched the first, I will do that - I'm home, so I think I'll watch it right now, in fact, and get back to you when I'm done Then we can see if we want to continue. How's that?

And I'm afraid I have to agree with Virogirl -- way too many superfluous vids, tangential interviews, etc....I thought it would concentrate on the case itself, but it seems to wander every which way.. I could barely get through episode 2.

really is an interesting case. This is all over the place. Plus I guess it's pushing the human trafficking angle. I personally don't think that at all, but I've followed since the begininng. Sorry, thought it would be better.

I may watch a little more, just to see if I can glean any more information. No need to be sorry, dewsgirl!... You gave me your honest impressions, complete with your reservations about it.

I cannot believe people can really believe otherwise. The dogs looked and acted as if they were directed to certain places by the handler. I am still so sad about Madeline and hope someone did adopt her. She was such a pretty little girl.

There isn't a shred of motive. Or evidence. They were at dinner with 10 people when it happened, the parents were not involved.
