Madeleine McCann Is Still Missing: What Happened?

Was This Room a Death Trap?

The McCanns’ children stayed in the bedroom closest to the front door. Gerry and Kate always kept the door locked. The bedroom did have one window that was about waist high. It was outfitted with both curtains and a metal exterior shutter, Gerry and Kate also kept those shut as well. Madeleine was sleeping in a single bed that was closest to the door and her little brother and sister slept in cots in the middle of the room.

Outside of the window was a small walkway. Gerry and Kate felt like their kids were secure inside the room because they were careful, did their research, and kept the doors and windows locked. Everything seemed to be peaceful in the quaint little beach town, but only to the untrained eye.
