Most people I know with knowledge of the case think the parents did it.
Her parents' behavior about the safety of their children was very careless. They have the money to provide better care for their children while they were out, and did not do it. Why? They left their place unlocked. Why? They are well educated people, and yet their behavior was that of idiots. Why?
Nothing about the parents' activities in regard to their children was what one would expect of educated professionals. If this had happened to Portuguese parents, they would have been put on trial for neglect. Only their British nationality and the theatrics of the couple and the Brit press saved their rears ends from prison.
They should have been put on trial here for child neglect. And the search for the missing child continued.
I really doubt that child traffickers are involved. How many cases of lost children have there been with verifiable child traffickers? None that I've heard about that I would put much credence in. It's like the sex slavery rings that people blame for some high profile kidnap victims. Child traffickers and sex slavery rings are not going to pick victims that will draw a lot of publicity. They focus on victims where there will be little police involvement and no publicity. These are usually children and women from poorer countries (non-English speaking) who will not be able to contact family members or the authorities. Too much risk otherwise.
For cases like Madeleine McCann it is either someone known to the victim (relative, friend of the family etc) or an unknown sex offender. Not sure I go with Madeleine just wandering off as I'm sure someone would have seen her in a resort setting or if something happened like an accident you would expect to find a body.
I just think child traffickers is a red herring. Of course this is just my opinion.
Well seeing as how her parents drugged her before they went out I'm guessing she didn't walk out on her own.

I'm convinced that's exactly what happened. They drugged her and she died as a result. I don't think they meant to do it; it was an accident, but still criminal. They disposed of the body and claimed it was a kidnapping.

Whilst this is a possible and credible theory, I do not think they had the time frame to be able to hide and/or discard of a body, even that of a 3 year old.
Doctors (and other similar professionals) do have access to drugs that others don't, so there is that other aspect to consider.

I just can't see this is a real possibility. I have a very hard time believing that both a mother and a father who seemed to be normal parents could both shake off their horror and grief quickly enough to devise a scheme to dispose of the body in a place that was unfamiliar to them and be successful enough at it to not get caught. Additionally, I can't imagine that even if they did accomplish this, that over the past ten or so years that neither of them would turn on the other.
If it had been only one parent - just the mom or just the dad - perhaps I could believe that they concocted a quick cover-up of an accidental death, but I don't believe that two parents could collectively and quickly choose that option, follow-through and stay quiet.

The problem is that the time line has largely been based on the word of the McCanns and their friends. What time was Madeleine last seen by a witness outside of this group?

The old Casey Anthony trick with the same results, huhn? Very possible. I have believed the parents had something to do with it all along.
