The statement by SY is evidence that the parents are not suspects
You don't seem to understand what evidence is

I have already explained why you are wrong, so why are ignoring the evidence?

Oh, hang on, rhetorical question

davel wont listern to anything againt the  mcanns

[Alice Purjorick]

it does but as you are one of the more raving sceptics I would hardly expect you to agree

To paraphrase the late Jack Fingleton.
"Wadda yer mean by raving sceptic dave"

I take it that is a compliment. Were it an insult I feel sure Ellie would have deleted it in it's entirety rather than just edit it.

[Alice Purjorick]

but there is evidence that the parents are not suspects....perhaps you should now post the definition of evidence

"the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid".

your move

Yes Carly, I gathered as much, lol, from him and others, it is not an intelligent position to have. You have to try and be totally impartial in cases like these, hard as it may be sometimes.

i always picture maddie crying  for  70 minutes which mrs fenn   heard  and that  alone shows bad parenting in itself imo

I don't agree that they were sorting out what they were going to say.   They were doing their utmost to establish as accurately as possible their movements to and from their apartments to give to the police.    The best way to to that was to pool their individual recollections.    That can also result in someone having their memory jogged  simply by something another person might say.

Any idea that they were colluding is daft IMO as they were doing this in front of a policeman - and immediately handed him the written timeline when they'd finished it - which suggests to me that he was waiting for it.   Would you hand the evidence of your collusion on a plate to a policeman?

Being assaulted (sorry about that btw) is a completely different scenario and there is no comparison imo  - unless the timeline was as important in your case as it was in this one.   

IMO it bears all the hallmarks of a CYA exercise

Three toddlers left alone in an unsecured flat and all the dangers possible was a very very serious lack of judgement, the others in the group werent much better, leaving sick kids alone though they had the wherewithall to lock their doors, so them escaping and hurting themselves at least wasnt an option,  but we have said all this a mllion tmes

Ok,well, must put thnking cap on, though probably it wont work as Ive been stumped by this scenario of yours for months

Your hypothesis involves no crying from the child when she awoke in her hiding place & no sign of her then leaving the sealed apartment.

So are you gonna tell your theory then? Madelne was in  flat at 10'pm, then?

No point because it is after midnight, and everyone else took their thinking caps off two hours ago Merc.
I'm just questioning why reconstruct 8.30pm-10pm, when that's the same assumption that's been made for 9 years.
