Scotland Yard and the PJ have stated the McCanns are not suspects.

[Mr Moderator]

The tapas 9 refused to cooperate with the original investigation IMO because they had no faith in the PJ...again imo quite rightly...

It wasn't for them to pick or choose.   They had a moral duty to partake in that reconstruction but chose their own self interest over that of a missing 4 year old child.  That for me says much about them.

If anyone hindered the search for Madeleine they jointly did.

[Lyall]

Condemned by whom?  A bunch of Internet Posters who get their rocks off cherry picking a load of garbage in the process of dealing with their very sad lives.

Present company excepted, I hope.

There is No Evidence that The McCanns ever harmed any of their children.  Even Portugal agrees with this.

Still not too late to cross the floor you know.

[Eleanor]

That's not the case Eleanor.  They are part of the investigation as parents of a missing child.  Curiously, the refusal by the tapas-9 to cooperate with the PJ and return for a reconstruction has yet to hit the fan.  The question of their reluctance to assist a missing child inquiry is something which has still to be addressed.

I don't think so.  There has never been any evidence to suggest that The Tapas 7 knew anything at all.  And Kate and Gerry did not refuse to do a reconstruction.

Amaral refused to do a reconstruction when it might have helped, and was still fresh in people's minds.  But Amaral said it wasn't possible.  So how come it was suddenly possible a year later?

There is no shit to hit the fan on this one.  Or do you think Portugal will apply for European Arrest Warrants?

[Eleanor]

Et toi aussi.

So you believe in cherry picking which laws to follow? That way lies anarchy my friend. I assume you are bright enough not to really believe in anarchy. Then on the other hand I feel a lecture coming on so lets see.

Anything is possible at this stage.

Amanda Knox did nothing else. She didn't appear at the trial because she's innocent. She would have however if she had no reason to suspect that the Italians would try to frame her. But she had. Didn't she spent years in jail as if she wasn't innocent ? Why really should she risk to be another victim of injustice ?

[Eleanor]

No it isn't.  And if it ever had been, which I very much doubt, then it is all much too late now.  The Investigation was a complete cock up, and exposing that in Court is hardly what Portugal would want.  Any Trial would be a total farce.  And even Britain, God rest it's soul, would not comply to European Arrest Warrants against people of whom there is no evidence.

However, I would love to see them try.

What a strange thing to wish for - putting the McCanns through even more stress and anguish.

Trust you to misconstrue.  This isn't going anywhere.  But I bet you wish it was.

[jassi]

I don't expect anything to come out of previous, present' or even future investigations. Tracks have been too well hidden.

So no chance of The McCanns being innocent for you.  Under which Democracy do you live?

How can you construe that from what I wrote ?

My sympathy for the McCann's evaporated the minute they walked out if their apartment for the fifth night in a row leaving their babies unattended so they could go enjoy themselves.

Stupid selfish people.

Yep and had their dinner in a semi permanent tent like structure in what was effectively their garden, with sight of their apartment which was illuminated by the street light opposite.

50 metres away they were !  Amaral said nobody would have gone in via the patio windows; "too close" he said and "too overlooked by the Tapas group".       Maybe you live in an apartment with no garden?

Swhiskers, Can I remind you that a few years ago, a child was abducted from her bath whilst her family were in the house.  They were actually IN the House with her.

Madeleines abduction was a freak happening ... and could have happened with Kate and Gery on 5A balcony ... as that bath abduction proves.


Get things in proportion.  Get a grip SWhiskers.
