There are lots of "missing" statements in the files....I doubt any have "deliberately" gone "missing"
It is perplexing though why some statements are there and others aren't but I think you're in danger of jumping to conclusions by considering it a conspiracy, I would hedge my bets on human errors and maybe as G Unit told me on another thread, its up to the ukca what was sent to Portugal.
And how you came to the conclusion that certain statements were "hidden" just to hide the fact that Gerald Mccann was out searchng for his child is beyond me. People are normally too busy to spend their days being Machiavellians.

I don't see how Stephen Carpenter's statement can be taken in any bad light whatsoever, so perplexed there too
As far as Stephen Carpenter's statement of what he witnessed goes it is fine. As far as what he said about what Mrs Carpenter witnessed ... that is hearsay.
I am surprised you are unable to make that differentiation.
It has always been known that some information has been withheld from publication because of its sensitivity; one doubts if Mrs Carpenter's statement falls into that category.
Is it your assertion that ukca were selective in the witness interviews forwarded to the lead authority? I doubt it ... but I guess that only Levy would be able to inform us of exactly what his editorial position may have been at the time ... then would we be able to believe a word of what he has to say?
