The McCanns big lie, neglect. The McCanns small lie to cover the big lie...denying Maddies death. The nation believed in neglect, for without neglect abduction was impossible.

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed,
for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more
easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The
primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a
big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies,
but would be ashamed to tell big lies." - Adolf Hitler
