I always suspected that she was dead almost from the moment she was taken. She would have been used for whatever purpose she had been taken, poor little soul, and then murdered. I have never, ever suspected the parents had a hand in this, but I do think they were wrong to leave such tiny children alone while they dined out, but I suspect they know this and it haunts them. My heart bleeds for them all, Madeleine and her parents, but mainly Madeleine. Hopefully if this new lead was complicit, he will give them closure by admitting what he did with her body and then maybe, just maybe they can finally move on.
