SY consider the McCanns are not suspects
That's all that matters

Which members of SY  ?

[John]

SY consider the McCanns are not suspects
That's all that matters

Suspect of what exactly?

[Mr Gray]

Suspect of what exactly?

Not suspects in the disappearance of Maddie as SY consider Maddie was abducted

[stephen25000]

Not suspects in the disappearance of Maddie as SY consider Maddie was abducted

Ah yes, the entity whose existence has not been proved.

[jassi]

Ah yes, the entity whose existence has not been proved.

But McCanns are not suspects so everything is OK

[Mr Gray]

...and what have these police 'who matter' achieved ?

We don't know
But at least the poor parents have been ruled out

[stephen25000]

It is the 'poor parents' whose actions instigated this case .

No one else davel, and no one else has been found  to have been there, other than the known people.

[G-Unit]

Ah yes, the entity whose existence has not been proved.

As Rowley admitted;

"we don’t have definitive evidence about what happened to Madeleine."

Not to worry though;

"Until we get to the point where we have solved it, we’re unlikely to have definitive evidence as to exactly what happened at the time."

Even so, he says he does know what happened to Madeleine;

"However she left that apartment, she has been abducted."

So they know she's been abducted, despite having no evidence of what happened to her. Clever these Met police aren't they?

Indeed G-Unit.

They claim to know what happened, but don't know what happened.

Very inciteful.

[Erngath]

Very inciteful.

Perhaps they know what didn't happen.

The McCann's made the same 'mistake' for every night they were there until and including the night Madeleine 'disappeared'.

It wasn't a one off.

It was a deliberate action, because they thought they knew better.

The McCanns made one mistake and that was to believe that their childcare arrangements were safe.  Thousands upon thousands  of other parents have done the same on holiday - with no ill effects on their children.

Hindsight with it's 20/20 vision is indeed a wonderful thing - just as it is so easy to be wise after the event.  Both being  perfect descriptions of the pious attitude of many sceptics IMO.

Never a truer word spoken, Jassie;  the pity of it is that it has all got lost within the deluge of trivia which was designed in my opinion with the definite intent of denigrating Madeleine McCann's parents.

A prime example of which is the doubt cast on Jane Tanner's sighting of the man carrying a child and as we are discussing here, how high do curtains blow in a gust of wind or air.

Way back in 2008 it was being reported that ...

The Judiciary Police (PJ) is preparing to release the McCann couple from any involvement in the death and disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.

A year of investigations was not enough to gather evidence or strong evidence to support an indictment against Kate and Gerry.

According to an official of the PJ, the analysis of the testimony of the seven friends of the couple, collected last month in England, "did not detect contradictions that can not be solved."

More: the biological traces found in the apartment and in the car rented by the McCanns are insufficient to support the thesis of accidental murder and subsequent concealment of the child's corpse, which disappeared today a year ago.

As Mulder would say "The truth is out there."  One can only wonder at the way it has got lost in a sea of misinformation and propaganda.

The result of spending too much time going into the minutiae of the minutiae tends to be that folk end up not being able to see the wood for the trees IMO.

There is no excuse for not using common sense.

As for not locking the apartment.

They did in daytime, so any views as to why they weren't aware of the potential crime goes out the window.

That Benice applies to the abduction scenario.


Which has gone nowhere.

IMHO of course.
