I posted on May 29 2007 at 11:58am,that Madeleine wasnt taken by a pedophile, she was taken by a couple. If you have read the latest news on this case you will find that she has been seen numorous times with a couple.The police and detectives are wrong this is not a pedophile profile.She was taken because of her apperance,this couple had lost a daughter that looked like Maddy,or around her age.

I have tried through a number of ways to get this point across I hope someone other than me has seen this.In the latest picture of Madelein with her father and siblings, there is a man standing behind them watching and a woman sitting at what appears to be a table also watching. I beleive this is the man and woman that has been sighted with Madelein. Police believe that she was being watched and then abducted.I dont think this abduction was about reward money.I dont feel that it was done by someone who wanted to bring harm to Madelein. These people they are looking for,have lost a little girl of her age and simular apperance. The police are looking for the wrong profile. She was picked, other wise why would'nt the abductor take one of her siblings,younger and also a girl. They keep following the same (quote)

I feel horrible about this little girl and I hope and pray she is found safe and sound. But I have to say, there are so many thousands of American children that go missing..we only hope that the police and FBI can help with all their resources. Sometimes it works...sometimes sadly it doesn't. The U.S military does not get involved in domestic missing children so why is it expected that The U.S. military should get involved in the sad/terrible case of an Irish citizen kidnapped in Portugal? It's horrific and heartbreaking but for instance, poor little Samantha Runnion in Cal. and Elizabeth Smart in Utah did not have U.S military looking for them.
I feel horrible for the poor parents and no one deserves this but children (very little ones...babies!!)also don't deserve to be left alone in a hotel room, unprotected.
I pray she is found soon..and safe, but c'mon people...U.S military? Portugal and Ireland are not exactly back-woods countries. Let's hope the police and equivalent of FBI in those countries can solve this and bring her home.

My prayers go out to the family and to especially Madeleine. If there is any way to help find her, I hope someone will come forth with that information. As far as the president helping with the resources at his command, I beg him to do so. Don't let this little girl or any child be lost forever.

A PLEA FOR HELP
Dear President Bush,
As you and you fellow Americans are aware this pretty young British girl has been missing in the costal town of Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal for a week now, naturally everyone is doing everything that is humanly possible to get her reunited with her parents however the Portuguese police do not appear to have many leads to follow therefore I believe you may be able to assist the investigation by asking NASA and your military commanders to take a look at your IR satellite imagery on the coordinates shown below where with your powerful cameras it may be possible to see what happened on Thursday 3rd May 2007, you may well have images of people or maybe a vehicle which could be traced to an address where little Madeline is being kept against her will.
I accept that this is asking a lot however if you were able to help the Portuguese police to get Madeleine back you would be regarded as super hero by Madeleine's family, not to mention the rest of the world who would no doubt feel the same way.
Please help us get her back.
Sincere Regards,
David Edgar
