We know that CB was lurking (& busted) around playgrounds exposing himself and more...It is common known pedophiles are drawn to places where children gather to play and enjoy themselves.If there is an adult lurking around without a child,it would raise red flags (for me)
It is different around beaches and ice cream shops
Just read that 48 hors before MM vanished,the MM family went to the beach to eat ice cream,because the kids were tired and ice cream -for most of them- is a treat. Gives parents a peace moment and a closure for the day.
It could be... (yeahhh, i know) that the family was spotted there..,followed and watched till an opportunity came along to snatch little Maddie?
Here is a part of 48 hours before MM vanished:
‘One May afternoon in 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal, barely 48 hours before their daughter Madeleine disappeared, Kate and Gerry McCann took their three young children down to the beach. It began to rain, and the children were grumpy, but the promise of an ice cream worked its magic.
Kate and the kids sat on a bench as Gerry went over to the shop, about 25 feet away. When he called to Kate to come and give him a hand with the five ice creams, she was "momentarily torn. Would the children be OK on the bench while I nipped over? I hurried across, watching them all the time."
