Has Scotland Yard dodged a bullet in the Maddie case?

[Mr Gray]

But, apart from your incredulity, you have no evidence to believe that they have been interviewed, have you ?

The evidence is what is normal police practice....and also that Sutton was at pains to point out...not that they hadn't been reinterviewed...but they hadn't been reinterviewed under caution...why would he make that distinction

[G-Unit]

There is no evidence the pj are acting... conclusion based on the available evidence

Assumption; 'therefore they really aren't acting.

[xtina]

No...I believe SY have looked at all the evidence and are happy with it...I believe they have interviewed the parents re what happened and found nothing suspicious

I believe SY have looked at all the evidence and are happy with it


It depends on what they looked at......

certainly not evidence of an abduction...there wasn't any...

How can it be justified....to look at only the abduction side of it....

is there any wonder they have found nothing.....imo

I think it has been made clear by the SC that the archiving report didn’t clear the parents.

You didn’t address the points in my post.  In any case if the McCanns weren’t cleared why did de Carmo emphatically state they weren’t suspects?  Why wasn’t there outrage at this statment in Portugal?  Why wasn’t he sacked for dismissing the McCanns as suspects?

[Vertigo Swirl]

How would you know whether the response was correct or otherwise.
Are you a policeman or of allied trade?

Further bizarre logic.  Inwasn’t going to judge whether or not the response was the correct one, just interested in what avenues of investigation were left to investigate re: the McCanns, and how the Portuguese would carry out these investigations.  It’s called a discussion, not a court of law.

I disagree...there is evidence of abduction

This quote was debunked yesterday by the actual verbatim report of what he said.

I have done a search on here and I can't find the debunking post. Could you kindly point it out to me please?

I believe Olegario de Sousa was quite emphatic too when declaring the parents were not suspects back in 2007. Was there outrage then ? Was he dismissed for claiming the parents were not suspects when later it was obvious they had been ?

Different times, the police leaking to the media made it very clear he was being disingenuous, not only that but it was only a matter of days between his statement and making the McCanns arguidos.  Bringing the dogs in to search their rented apartment was a bit of a  giveaway wasn’t it?  Since then, the archiving report confirmed that there was no evidence against the McCanns, years have elapsed and the Met have also made it clear that the McCanns are not under investigation.  You can cling to the belief that they are, without a single shred of evidence to support your beliefs apart from something said in 2007 by a policeman no longer involved in the investigation, because literally that is all you’ve got.  It’s very weak evidence.

And the parents claiming that they were ‘heartened’ that they were not being considered suspects. Was that disingenuous too ?

What would you say in response to the question?  “We don’t believe the copper, he’s lying”?

The dogs were taken to Murat's villa too, so the deployment of the dogs wasn't a giveaway of anything except a search for evidence.

Bear in mind that all those who have been involved in the case and have made public statements are now gone. We don't know who is involved in the UK or in Portugal as no announcements have been made.
