Sceptics beliefs ?

Can you explain exactly how taking part in a reconstruction would have demonstrated innocence?  The McCanns agreed to take part but obviously agreeing to take part demonstrated nothing, so...over to you.

Of course agreeing to take part demonstrated nothing.
Had they actually taken part it would have shown by way of cooperation that they had nothing to hide.

So all they had to do was take part in the reconstruction and that would have cleared them

So simply the act of taking part in the reconstitution would have demonstrated their innocence would it?  So in effect they could have all flown into PdL reconvened at the Tapas Bar and the police would have been able to say “that’s enough evidence for us folks, no need to go through the charade of an actual reconstitution, you’ve amply demonstrated your innocence already, ta ra, mind how you go”.

In some peoples eyes, yes.
It would have shown they cooperated fully with the investigation.

All they needed to do was act out for the police how the events of the evening unfolded.
It shouldn't have been difficult since it's a night they could never forget.

Surely asking for the review of the investigation  and the subsequent  two ongoing Investigations proved they had nothing t hide
Strange course of action to take if indeed they had something to hide.
Don't you believe so?

Nope. They are confident the trail has gone cold imo.

So these people  have the right "to troll them for the rest of their lives"

[Erngath]

So why ask for the investigation to be reviewed and reopened?

Yes, they do, & it's nobody's fault but Kate & Gerry's.

They wouldn't be getting trolled the way they are if they had (a) hired a babysitter

They may not have the 'right', but I'm sure it'll happen, possibly for the rest of their lives.

Why?

[Erngath]

Yes, they do, & it's nobody's fault but Kate & Gerry's.

So you believe that trolling them is justified?

[jassi]

Why?

Because they want to, I guess.

They asked for a review, not an investigation.
How could they not?
When people, like their donors, ask them what they are doing to find Maddie, how were they meant to reply?
"Err, it's alright we've still got 2 kids & some private eyes, no need for police"

This brings us back to the reconstruction, they could have kept the original investigation ongoing, had they taken part.

Why didn't they ?
