A country with a Police force that:
Had a sex offenders register
Had a DNA database
Used efits in missing people cases
Made the use of publicity to try and trace missing people
Did not have a secrecy policy
Would it have made any difference?
For the avoidance of doubt - I believe the case would have been solved by now.

It would help if there were the CCTVs, most of all !
But also there is a boy missing in UK with all these listed available, and Andrew Gosden hasn't been found..

Hello VIXTE.
Yes, I agree that CCTV can be crucial.

There are plenty of unsolved cases in the UK....and plenty of solved ones in Portugal...those factors dont guarantee anything

Certainly not in Portugal.

They would have questioned the parents straight away and perhaps charged them with child abandoment. They would have collected forensic evidence sooner, bearing in mind the inconsistencies in the parents' stories.

A country with a Police force that:
Had a sex offenders register
No evidence that the crime is sexually motivated
Had a DNA database
Their DNA lab was rated in the top 10 in the world. How would a DNA database help?
Used efits in missing people cases
They released efits / artists impressions didn't they?
Made the use of publicity to try and trace missing people
Request made to release details to the press the day after the disappearance
Did not have a secrecy policy
Why? The secrecy policy prevents details of the investigation from being leaked. Where is the harm in that?

Well the UK police were helping out and it didn't get them very far did it?
For the avoidance of doubt, I think the OP is gibberish.

Like the 'modern police force' that produced the case against Barry George you mean? (to name just one)

The last 6 years? When was the review announced?
Apologies, my mistake - finger trouble.
But there were over 30,000 pages to go through so they must have done something no?

So the date of the review announcement? Your finger trouble notwithstanding?

Jazzy, stop being such a pain and look it up - it really doesn't matter that I confused the length of time with how many millions have been spent does it?

So you know now, you looked it up?

What if it had happened in a country with a modern Police force?
Well for starters a modern police force wouldn't allow a convict to co-ordinate it.
