Is there more circumstantial evidence against the mccanns than there is CB

There's always a first time... https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01436-8

But not just yet.  If ever.

[Vertigo Swirl]

I agree.

But surely you don’t believe leaving a child asleep and unattended in an unlocked ground floor apartment greatly increases the likelihood of said child being abducted by a local paedophile/rapist/burglar do you??

While I don't have a firm view on body farms, if other countries already have them for research purposes, why would UK bother with establishing another? Why not just use the reseach findings of other countries ?

[Lace]

I agree.

Blame the parents not the filthy pervert.

A very sensible suggestion.  It isn't all about training Cadaver Dogs.  Very little in fact.

As you will see from Spam's signature line his sympathies very much lie with the filthy pervert and not the parents, so you have called that correctly.

I don't see why not.
If parents were more responsible there wouldn't be any abductions.

I do believe MM was abducted but where's the evidence the abductor was a 'filthy pervert'?

Could it be the abductor came to learn MM was left alone night after night in the unlocked apartment and thought she was being neglected?  And of course there was the crying incident too:  "Daddy, daddy" and 'Why didn't you come when Sean and I were crying last night'?

Could it be rather than a filthy pervert the abductor was  a misguided individual, or part of a couple, with altruistic intent?

In other words, it's your fault if a paedophile steals your child while it is left unattended as you encouraged the paedophile to do this.

Don't think it's a matter of encouraging a paedophile to do such a dreadful thing but a matter of not taking all necessary precautions to protect your children from all danger. Had a fire broken out in the apartment and all three children succumbed to smoke inhalation, would the parents be seen as culpable?

It's a nice thought, but highly unlikely IMO.  Where is Madeleine now?  How did she manage to make it to 17 without anyone noticing this altruistic couple suddenly had Madeleine McCann (the most famous missing child on the planet) living with them?

More likely the child got out and was taken from outside the apartment imho.

From what we have heard the German police have the evidence of murder

They haven't shared this information with the parents however which can only mean one thing.

That's a different debate. Leaving small children home alone is never, ever, a good idea.
