A Shocking End

 

I have previously argued that the most plausible (or more accurately least implausible ) way that Maddie may have died is an Anaphylactic shock probably triggered by the administration of a sedative by Kate and followed by an attempt at CPR resuscitation likely by Gerry.   

This theory was originally outlined (as far as I am aware) by xx  in the following blog.  

First I think it's worth briefly recapping why a death in the apartment followed by the hiding of the body is by far the most likely scenario.

To my mind there are three main clues pointing towards a death in the apartment as well as a host of others that I think are best scene as circumstantial clues.

The three most important clues are:

1 The Dogs  The signalling by the dogs in both the apartment, on items in their new flat (especially CuddleCat) and in the hire car.  These as is  well known revealed a number of samples of DNA from human bodily fluids which were then examined by the FSS in Birmingham, yielding what was characterised as "inconclusive" results

2 The Open Window
