I just hope she is found alive. I know the chances are not great that she will be found alive. There have been a few cases that have had children found alive...Elizabeth Smart, Dana Pervia (sic), Steven Stayner, Shawn Hornbeck, Natascha Kampusch, Ben Owingsby, Timothy White, Shasta Groene, and others. Unfortunately, they had fallen prey to the filth of our society, but they are alive.

As for the parents having killed her, even accidentally, I think it is the police wanting to wrap up a case that has caused them embarrassment over the mass publicity it has gotten and the light that has shown their inadequacies in not moving quickly enough in the beginning. The parents made a mistake in leaving the children alone, but they don't deserve what has happened to them and Maddie.
