This is what Sutton is reported as saying.

‘Former Met detective chief inspector Collin Sutton has recently called for fresh interviews be undertaken with all the key British witnesses involved in the Madeleine McCann case.

Collin Sutton, "We’re talking about interviews given by the McCanns and friends through an interpreter, written down in Portuguese and then translated back into English so officers from Grange can read them. The room for error would be enormous.”

Madeleine McCann’s parents and ‘Tapas Seven’ have NEVER been formally interviewed as witnesses by Brit cops – as police hunt ‘person of significance’. Met detectives have been relying on Portuguese transcripts of formal interviews with key witnesses, including Maddie's parents.

Very sensible observations.

And yet when Davel says this you all fall about sneering and scoffing.

In your opinion.

Does your opinion differ?  Do you think the PJ did not thoroughly investigate the McCanns?

Sutton says the McCann's have not been formally interviewed... Not that they haven't been interviewed

[faithlilly]

In your opinion.

This argument makes so sense. The McCanns from almost day one had the support of the media and also impressive legal and governmental support. Murat, on the other hand, didn’t. If a pasty was to be found surely Murat would have fitted the bill perfectly.

According to whom?  Did the police find her?

There is a page missing,perhaps that covers your concerns.

I don't think they mistranslated the "No Comment" replies by Kate McCann though.  I still find her responses to all those questions appalling given the circumstances.  What did she think she was going to be charged with?  Child neglect??

Image the public debate if SY were to take them in for questioning.

I think she was absolutely  correct in replying no comment for reasons already discussed at length

[Mr Gray]

I would say they have already been questioned... But not under caution

I'm surprised you can bring yourself to admit the PJ did anything thoroughly.

The McCanns were reviled in the Portuguese media from day one weren’t they?  Perhaps you supply links to all the positive support the McCanns enjoyed in Portugal (the country in which the PJ were operating in, in case you forgot).

is that the one which describes how the family were seen getting on their unicorn and riding off into the sunset?

They thoroughly cocked up.  IMO

According to whom?  Did the police find her?

From the files.

As a general opinion on this subject, it is my impression that where we have no subsequent written paperwork relating to arrival and embarkations of certain boats, the PM (maritime police) followed up with port surveillance footage (CCTV), or by direct contact through radio/GPS or even ship-to-ship contact, or with visits by officers to port/marina authorities.
Rivers, coastal inlets and beaches were also visited and local residents and holiday makers in those places were questioned. One vessel was tracked through Lisbon up to Nazar?on the Portuguese coast so, in general terms, I don't think anything was overlooked.
