No evidence of any crime by the parents and no evidence of an abduction?

[jassi]

Well put it this way - if the McCann friends are not covering up for Kate and Gerry then their witness statements should be taken as true accounts of events as they recall them.  Do you accept this?

The statement about the 'kid being dumped'  made no mention as to the perpetrator. Why, therefore, are you assuming that Smithman was known to the Tapas group?

[Benice]

Once again you dress up your opinion as fact. Why did Redwood say they were not suspects...the most obvious reason is that they are not suspects. Portugal has also said the same thing. you just can't accept this and want to make up a reason to pretend it isn't true. Who is your very long post supposed to convince? Redwood didn't even have to say anything if he didn't want to.

Redwood has said the McCanns are not suspects..that's a fact.

Exactly.   Added to that -  IIRC we have also been told the McCanns are being kept updated on the investigation and that they have met up with the PJ investigating team in Portugal.      The chances of either of those two things  happening if the McCanns were still suspects are zero IMO.

Al true ...as is the fact that the McCanns are not suspects...but albertini wants to ignore it

Actually all we have from the police is what they give in interviews both here an in Portugal and they don't always state or say, what is actually taking place.

Simple answer.

Would the police of any country reveal to the public the full extent of any investigation ?

Well if she says so (fountain of wisdom), then everyone is telling lies.

As I have said ...redwood says not suspects...and posters ,including you want to pretend it didn't happen/...it did...not suspects

[Carew]

Sorry........who is "she"....the "fountain of wisdom?"

Sorry davel, I did here what he said. Sorry to disappoint.

As to what goes on behind the scenes is another matter ?

Have you asked any members of the police their opinion on the case  ?

It doesn't matter what you believe...Redwood said they are not suspects...and yes I know several police officers and none think the mccanns are involved

As it stands there are no real suspects, an unknown crime and very few leads even now nearly 7 years on.  But lets be clear, this will very quickly change if a body is found.  Being declared not a suspect is irrelevant in a live investigation, all this does is shift the focus elsewhere which suits investigators.  Redwood is nobody's fool and knows exactly what he is doing.

It is relevant at the moment...and I can't see Redwood saying it if he wasn't very very sure. the doubters want to dismiss anything that points towards the mccanns non involvement...and theres a lot. redwood IMO has analysed the case and cant see anyway the parents were involved...have you ever known anyone else to be declared not suspects and subsequently charged....I can't

I'm sure he does 

[Mr Gray]

I'm sure he does 

I trust him...I just hope he is allowed to follow his leads in portugal

"Police remarks 'hearten' McCanns BBC News

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have said they are "heartened" that the Portuguese police do not consider them suspects in the case.

 

Earlier, Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa publicly declared that Kate and Gerry McCann, and their friends who were on holiday with them, were not suspects.

 

He told the BBC the parents were "victims" who had lost their child and also witnesses in the case.

 

He also acknowledged for the first time that the four-year-old may be dead. "


We have heard it before, though.
