The McCanns will have been interviewed by Operation Grange.

[John]

You are asserting something which you cannot prove, but demanding that anyone who disagrees must provide proof? What action do you plan to take if someone posts something to the contrary without proof? I don't know if the McCanns have been interviewed, investigated or whatever and neither do you.

This is basic policing.  I would have thought that this occurred way back at the outset of Operation Grange.  Former DCI Redwood went public and stated that his team had gone back to basics and looked at everything again from the start, there is no reason to believe every member of the so-called tapas 9 haven't been reinterviewed.

[Mr Gray]

Try again when you have evidence to support your opinion.

I have supplied evidence....as John says...this is basic policing...it would be ridiculous to suggest it hasn't been done....once again...do you think the McCanns have been interviewed...you cannot answer the question because you would have to say yes

[stephen25000]

Everyone will believe what they wish to believe as regards this matter.

As to 'standard procedure' in these matters, and from the police officers, past and present I know, it would be standard procedure in any case. However, they have told me, and it is rather obvious, not all lines of inquiry are released to the public, for rather obvious reasons.

so it is standard police practice and therefore would have been done but there is no reason that the public would have been told...spot on for once

Agreed, John. The idea that the Met have interviewed hundreds of people and not the people at the heart of the investigation is something I find absurd.

Some of the conspiracy-inclined latch onto the fact that the remit for the review or the investigation contained the word "abduction" and therefore interpret the exercise as being some kind of expensive and inexplicable whitewash.

It is also very apparent, that it has not been determined how and by whom Madeleine (unless she walked herself) was removed from the apartment as the crime remains unknown.

Inconsistencies remain in the stories /accounts of events. If there is a timeline for abduction, there is also a timeline for other scenarios as well.

The bottom line remains, the crime is unknown and the investigation will be shelved shortly, as I have long predicted, with nothing pertaining to help solve the case having been found, and that has not changed since the original PJ investigation.

[Mr Gray]

so is there anyone who actually still thinks the McCanns have not been interviewed

[stephen25000]

Can you tell me dave what crime occurred, and with evidence to back up your belief.

[Benice]

Agreed, John. The idea that the Met have interviewed hundreds of people and not the people at the heart of the investigation is something I find absurd.

Some of the conspiracy-inclined latch onto the fact that the remit for the review or the investigation contained the word "abduction" and therefore interpret the exercise as being some kind of expensive and inexplicable whitewash.

Agreed.  And yet no-one can come up with a credible reason why our government would order a whitewash regarding a couple of previously unknown doctors living an ordinary normal family life until tragedy struck.

What did the government have to gain or lose which was so important that it would make them arrange a whitewash?

[Mr Gray]

Can you tell me dave what crime occurred, and with evidence to back up your belief.

yes ....Maddie was almost certainly abducted and have a look at the thread where I discussed the evidence to support this. As i have repeatedly said if the parents are not suspects...abduction is  a near certainty

What can you tell us, if anything, about remits John? The remit cast doubt on whether OG went back to the actual beginning with a completely open mind.

[stephen25000]

I have looked at that thread, and there is nothing there that cannot be explained by other scenarios.

Just note what I said earlier, police do not reveal lines of inquiry.

[stephen25000]

Precisely.

If the remit has already been decided, it is certainly neither an open or fair investigation.

[Mr Gray]

we would have to know when the remit was drawn up......was it drawn up after the McCanns had been interviewed?

Does anyone have any evidence as to when it was drawn up. It first surfaced in jan12...7 months after the review started

[G-Unit]

Precisely.

If the remit has already been decided, it is certainly neither an open or fair investigation.

The doubts about the investigation exist because of the remit. No conspiracy theorists wrote that remit, the police wrote and released it themselves. Therefore any doubts were caused by them, no-one else.
