What do you think happened to her?

German police are pretty convinced their suspect is the man

Hopefully the truth comes out one day

Detective Amoral, who was in charge of the original investigation, believes Madeleine died in the apartment, probably accidentally, and that her parents either disposed of the body, or know who did hide the body.
I believe the same, but we'll never know for sure

He seemed a step up from Detective Apathetic, but just cos he looks busy, I’m not convinced he’s doing the right thing

It is Amaral, thanks

As an aside, he wrote a book about the Madeleine case, which Ive read. A very good read.

Kate and Gerry McCann took him to court over the book, and initially they won, and the book was banned, but eventually, on appeal, they lost, and the book became available again

So that's about as clear as what happened to the little girl. So much time has passed that it seems we will never get to the bottom of it. Personally I hope she reappears someday and she is unharmed

What a great film, Spielberg’s first foray into movies? It is like a Western transported to the ocean. Good on Capitalism vs Humanity. RIP Susan.

He directed two films before that; the brilliant Duel and The Sugarland Express.

But he also directed the very first episode of Columbo in 1971. Check out this opening tracking shot and sequence as a sign of what was to come:
