On Human Behaviour, Morality and Criminality

In your humble opinion.

Hardly dear boy.

Are you a BELIEVER ?

I am a disbeliever.

Your opinions seem strong but unsupported.

In the McCann case all the police statements and activites of both forces strongly suggest that parental involvement and woke-and-wandered have been ruled out.

Nothing can be ruled out in an unsolved case. This is a process of elimination and it's on-going. Things can quickly change in this case.

Is there anything the police have said or done that leads you to think they are investigating parental involvement or woke-and-wandered scenarios?

Unsupported. &%+((£

The police claim to believe in abduction.

Without a shred of  real evidence to back it up.

It is a requirement of a good investigation that no possibility is excluded.

Indeed it should.

However, they appear to have disregarded parental involvement, not knowing the nature of the crime.

So what kind of investigation is it ?

In your humble opinion. You do not have access to the investigation.

You are merely guessing.

One without a satisfactory ending, I imagine.

[stephen25000]

Indeed.

I wonder how long after the election it is shelved.

6 years dave ???

The investigation, for want of a better term, isn't 6 years old.

Do keep up.

[Brietta]

One without a satisfactory ending, I imagine.

It depends on what one terms a "satisfactory ending" ... there are those who obviously want Madeleine McCann found or at the least what happened to her discovered ... there are those who support neither of those aspirations?

What a strange thing to say. Why wouldn't anyone want either of those things?

[Alfred R Jones]

if finding Madeleine alive or finding out what happened to her proved definitively that her parents had nothing to do with her disappearance, it would be a devastating blow to many.  Can you imagine how sick and ashamed Amaral would (should) feel if Madeleine turned out not to have been accidentally killed and hidden by her parents?
