UK police guilty of flawed tunnel vision in hunt for Maddie McCann

[Alfie]

The real question is, who ordered SY not to investigate the McCann's ?

Can we have some proof that SY were ordered not to investigate the MCanns first please.

"Operation Grange of course know exactly what crime was committed but haven't shared their reasons" - you wrote that.  Belief or fact?

Mark Rowley was quite clear I thought. Do you see any doubt in his statement? He did give a reason; quite an inadequate one IMO.

However she left that apartment, she has been abducted

His reasons?

she was not old enough to set off and start her own life....It is not a 20-year-old who has gone
missing and who has made a decision to start a new life, this is a young girl who is missing and at the
heart of this has been an abduction.

Yes, so if Rowley can state that Madeleine was abducted why can't I?

Also Belief stated as Fact.

So that would apply to accidental death as well.

At least Amaral was in Portugal investigating the crime.

What Rowley do ?

[Eleanor]

I really don't like having to Delete anything.  But I am going to have to if this carries on.

No more warnings.

[stephen25000]

Also Belief stated as Fact.

Have you forgotten what Rowley has said.

Likewise Sutton.

John has already stated what we can and cannot do.

Some are still trying to push the boundaries of that.

Reactions then ensue.

As far as I am concerned, the three main theories remain just that, i.e. theories.

I doubt any of them will be proved, simply due to the apparent lack of evidence.

[Eleanor]

Likewise Sutton.

Rowley and Sutton can say what they like.  They aren't posting on this Forum.  At least, I don't think so.

However, we are discussing them, and their statements are a matter of record.

Quite. If we can't quote from visual, verbal and written records, how can we  discuss anything ?

[stephen25000]

Indeed Jassi.

All we would be left with is opinions..............

...and we know what happens then.

[Eleanor]

However, we are discussing them, and their statements are a matter of record.

Without Proof.  Repeating something does not make it Fact.

CAVEAT.  Is that difficult to understand?

[stephen25000]

Without Proof.  Repeating something does not make it Fact.

This is becoming a matter of semantics.

What constitutes proof in this regard Eleanor ?
