Really? What have they said? Do you have cites?
Yes I do have cites.
I post nothing which I cannot substantiate.
Unlike the investigators of first instance who managed to confuse fiction for reality if their 'leaking sources' are anything at all to go by.

Family fury at new claims
POLICE found a syringe in the holiday apartment where Madeleine McCann vanished, it was claimed last night.
Detectives are probing whether it was used to administer sedatives to the four-year-old and her twin siblings Sean and Amelie, according to a Portuguese newspaper.
Last night Madeleine's heart surgeon dad Gerry and GP mum Kate, both 39, were unavailable for comment on the alleged discovery.
But their spokesman Justine McGuinness said: "This is yet another piece of ridiculous speculation without any base in fact.
"Kate and Gerry are responsible and loving parents.
"They have said in the past they have never used sedatives on their children." Police declined to comment on the paper's claims.
Though they have stated the McCanns are not suspects, detectives are baffled that their twins never stirred the night Madeleine vanished from the apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.
They had hoped the two-year-olds, who were asleep in cots either side of their sister's bed, could be key witnesses.
But the pair were carried still sleeping from the apartment by police officers.
The mystery has fuelled speculation in the Portuguese media that Madeleine and the twins were given drugs to help them sleep while their parents went out.
The McCanns were dining in a tapas bar 40 yards away when their daughter vanished on May 3.
Last night a friend of the couple said the barrage of allegations by the Portuguese media had prompted the McCanns to decide to return to Britain within a fortnight. The pal said: "They've had enough." Gerry yesterday begged his daughter's abductor to hand her back.
He said the kidnapper may have taken her in an "act of madness" which they might not understand themselves.
On his daily internet blog he said "like everyone else" he and Kate were awaiting the results of DNA tests on the blood found in their apartment.
