The article in the SUN was dated the 8th Sept and the Mccanns were made arguidos on the 7th Sept.
Are you saying that the SUN managed to find Leandro, interview him, and then write the piece and publish in less thann 12 hours?
I think The Mccanns knew about what had happened to Leonor in advance of being made arquidos.
SIL, why are you lowering yourself to the cheap tactics of insinuating (for any reader who didn't have the means to check) that probably The Mccanns didn't know about what happened in the Cipriano case? You must surely have checked the dates and realised the timings ruled in the fact that The Mccanns would know.
Please refrain from using phrases like 'lowering yourself' and 'cheap tactics of insinuating'.
I have no way of knowing for certain whether, at the time Kate was made an arguida, she knew or did not know about the Cipriano case.
On balance of evidence, probably not. She did not write of being thus informed at the time, or who allegedly informed her.
If I get something better than might, ought, could, should, obviously, and similar flannelling I'll be happy to accept. Until then, it remains speculation.
