so why is sil claiming he hasn't ruled out the mccanns...
During our discussions, he made it clear that his approach is open minded. He read the files. Then, he constructed a theorem and re-read the files, improved the theorem, re-read the files etc.
And although he has refined his theorem multiple times, he is not promoting it as the only option, or one that his ´honour´ depends on.
He would quite happily accept a different outcome, subject to a degree of confidence in it.
I discussed with him one alternative he had not considered, which happens to be at odds with his theory, and he recommended that I bring it to the attention of OG.
So, fresh insight, not in line with theory, and he was very interested.
He is neither for or against the McCanns. He wants justice for Madeleine, which is quite different.
Please do not take complex ideas and boil them down into 'sceptic' and supporter, when there are other options.
Any evidence re McCann interviews? Or how/when the OG remit was constructed? Or how your experience of police procedures compares to those used on the UKs largest police investigation in modern times?
