Manhunt by Colin Sutton. Are there comparisons with Madeleine?

[jassi]

After Russell Bishop was tried and acquitted I’m sure no one thought that it was probable that he would one day be re-arrested, tried and convicted of the same crime. No one thought that it was probable that over 30 years after the murder evidence would be found that would help to convict the original suspect.

Until arrests are made and charges laid we will have absolutely no idea who the police are investigating and that includes the parents.

If, indeed, they are doing anything much at all.

[faithlilly]

I think we do have an idea.... I think it's absolutely 100% obvious the mccanns are not suspects or being investigated.. I think some are in total denial

Okay then tell me of one investigation where until there was arrests the public knew who was being investigated?

I thought it was possible, probable even, but not in the case of Madeleine’s parents, as there is no evidence that could be found that would convict them apart from a full confession from one or both of them.

The police investigating both cases made no statement about the investigation into any individual until they were made suspects. If you dispute that fact perhaps you can provide a cite ?

That there was unofficial leaks about the progress of the case is indisputable but we are not talking about unnamed sources but official police statements.

You are entitled to form any opinion you like but in my opinion the more information you have at your disposal the more valid your opinion will be.  Therefore in my opinion The Met’s opinion is worth more than your opinion, feel free to tell me why, in your opinion, I am wrong.

You can believe what you like, as can I. I see no point in arguing about it because neither of us will convince the other.

OK, carry on believing you know better than the experts then, it won’t do you any good but that’s your problem not mine.

Cliff Richard.  Charlie Elphicke.

isnt prince phillip being investigated...

The Duke of Edinburgh could be sent on a drivers’ awareness course, it has emerged, as police continue to investigate a crash which left two women hospitalised.

The Duke, 97, is understood to have no intention of giving up driving, having been photographed on public roads driving a new car less than 48 hours after the accident.

He is understood to be complying with a Norfolk Police investigation, which will see him interviewed about what happened.

so some think the mcccanns are being protected...but prince phillip isnt

I assumed it was understood I meant from official statements...obviously not.

Okay from police statements we had no idea that the parents were being investigated. In fact it was emphatically denied just days before they were made suspects by a police spokesman.
The police will not disclose details of individuals being investigated until arrests are made....even if specifically, or especially, if asked by the media.
It would be prejudicial and may even jeopardise any resulting trial.
