Great logic, guys

The British police have just released a computer aged image of what Madeleine McCann might look like today at 9 years and are asking Portuguese police to reopen the Madeleine McCann case. But then I read that a detective was quoted as saying:


"We are working on the basis of two possibilities here - one is that Madeleine is still alive; and the second that she is sadly dead," he said.


Huh, are there other possibilities, like she's a zombie?
