FIND THE MADELEINE MONSTER
TRUTH ABOUT THE McCANNS: BY TOP UK CRIME CRACKER
By Daniel Jones
Maddie's little brother and sister are learning to cope with their devastating loss by playing a game called Find The Monster Who Snatched Her.
And three-year-old twins Sean and Amelie are also playing a vital role in keeping their mum and dad focused, according to top criminologist Ray Wyre.
He told The People last night: "I think having other very young children has given Kate and Gerry the strength to go on.
"It must be hard for them because the twins are now almost the same age as Maddie was when she was taken.
"But they are clearly a bundle of energy and fun.
"They still talk about Madeleine and even bring her into their games."
Wyre went on: "Kate and Gerry told me they were sitting together the other day when the twins rushed into the room screaming and shouting.
"They asked what they were up to and the twins told them they were going to go and find the monster that took Maddie.
"Then they dashed off to play the game."
He added: "Of course, it's a very sad story.
"But it's healthy that Madeleine remains a real presence in their lives."
