Could one sceptic give a plausible reason why Madeleine's parents conducted a campaign to have the case reopened if as you believe they are complicit.
Please find below list of hypothetical reasons as a response to the hypothetical scenario posited:

Balls of steel.
Obfuscation (red herring, to use the vernacular).
Safe in the knowledge that without a body a conviction would be almost impossible.
Crank up waning public support.
Misplaced hubris.
PR strategist suggestion.

Got it all so wrong, haven't you?
It's not about Sceptics beliefs,  those have been expressed ad nauseum.
The thread is about  why and how sceptics sustain those belief s over so many years of not even the slightest suggestion the the McCanns are complicit in Madeleine's disappearance by the two lengthy police investigations.

They didn't campaign to have the case reopened.
They campaigned for a review. There's a slight difference.
As I said the other day, they could have kept the original 'investigation' ongoing, had they demonstrated their innocence, but they didn't do that, because they couldn't.

No, the Thread title quite clearly says   Sceptics beliefs ?'
Your lack of comprehension explains much.

I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.

Have you ever heard of a criminal begging for a police review of his or her own crimes?

OK I phrased that incorrectly. Have you ever heard of any non convicted criminals begging for a police review into their alleged crimes?

He’s got nothing to lose has he?  He’s in prison for life with no chance of being released.  The McCanns were free as birds with no one actively investigating them, please explain.

You asked for an example. I presented one. Not my fault you worded the question incorrectly.

Can't say I have. I do admit that there would be an element of turkeys voting for Christmas.
