A journalist has a new theory about what happened to Madeleine McCann

Investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas has a new theory about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

He told viewers of ITV’s This Morning:

On that morning of Madeline’s disappearance, we do know she went to [her parents] Gerry and Kate and said, ‘Where were you last night?’.

He said the Mc Cann twins had woken up in the nights prior to Madeline’s disappearance. He added:

And, I think as a result of that, Madeline was clearly aware they were in the tapas bar that was in the resort.

Now the interesting element in that is in order to get to the tapas bar you had to actually come out of the premises, walk on a public road to go back in again.

And that raises a concern I have in regards to Madeleine I believe woke up in the middle of the night, she went looking for Gerry and Kate and she left the apartment and went out, because we know the patio door at the back was insecure.

Williams-Thomas was asked to stop here for legal reasons.

The McCanns refused to comment, but their spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, told The Sun:

This is pure speculation and as such Kate and Gerry will not be dignifying it with any sort comment whatsoever.
