Has Robert Murat been cleared?  Yes he has.
When was his arguido status lifted?  at the same time as that of the McCanns.

Think of the arguido status as the equivalent of being questioned under caution.  They were not charged with any offence ... therefore they have been cleared.

I dont  thnk so somehow that it means cleared of suspicion if arguido status is lifted, not at all

Perhaps montclair SIL or other PT knowledgable people  can help here

If it is equivalent to being questioned under caution then "being cleared" doesn't enter into not.

Being cleared doesn't really have a precise legal definition so the fact taht they are now not suspects could be taken as being cleared...depends how you define it...has Barry Geerge been cleared...some would say yes ...some would say no

Harrison said nothing of the kind.

Harrison was handed a brief by the PJ to investigate that Madeleine had been murdered and worked to it.

That is reality not fantasy.

Indeed, almost unbelievable.

absolutely...the odds are tens of millions to one...that's why they thought it was safe

There is no excuse for leaving your children for several hours, with infrequent checks, in any country, where you don't know the language.

As to abduction, it remains one of several possible scenarios, none of which have any evidence to charge anyone.

What I will never understand, is those making excuses for the inexcusable.

When you decide to have children, it is your responsibility to take care of them and keep them as safe as possible.

That'll be why a woman in England, who left a child strapped in to the seat of a car for 10 hours was acquitted (on charges of neglect).

It was neglect.

Pure and simple.

[Mr Gray]

Pure and simple.

in your opinion

Seems the exception rather than the rule, do you have a link to this case?

That's why it's almost unbelievable  - the odds  are on it not being abduction.

Tell that to Kerry Needham.
