Why on earth did that woman think this was Madeline??

[totaleclipse]

She looks nothing like her.

And apparently new developments are expected in the next coupleof days, they said the same thing about 4 weeks ago, and nothing happened

Yeah, I saw that. I mean, duh!

I think it was a hopeful thinking it was Madeleine.

maybe, but to say you were 100% certain it was her................

I know.

And she was absolutely certain of it, IIRC, not just thought it might be possible.
Maybe there were things going on this woman's life we don't know about

I agree. If she was my child she wouldn't be anywhere near the papers.

True, not necessary.

poor little girl.

becaus it's sky news. and it's another chance for them to put a load of "breaking news..." headlines into their tabloid channell. and a picture to go with it is too much to pass up.
if the aprents agreed to it tohugh, what were they thinking.

It can depend on the photo though - looking at that picture, she looks very similar to my dd, but I bet in real life she doesn't. Also, lots of the pictures of Madeleine look very different.

I wish it had been her though.
