I believe not fully investigating those nearest to a missing child to rule them in or to rule them out of involvement is in my understanding elementary and is what happens when competent investigators are in charge.

In combination with the senior investigating officer making his mind up about who was guilty before it was possible for him to know anything about what had actually happened was a recipe for disaster.

Then for the senior officer in charge of the investigation to attempt to make the evidence fit his chosen perpetrators before even knowing what the evidence was ... is in my opinion an absolute recipe for disaster.
Which is exactly what it proved to be.

Im well aware that is your opinion... but the same critique can be made of Operation Grange.

The point being in most cases of missing children the close family are involved therefore the questioning should be to rule them out. Ruling them out before the questions is poor policing imo.

Have you any idea of how ridiculous that post actually is?  Ruling anyone in before checking the evidence required for ruling them in or ruling them out is not only poor policing it is not fit to be called policing at all.

Dont forget 19 components might be proof in Germany it seems.

Didnt an officer say he has arested people for less in UK ...IIRC

There were 19 components but as the scientist said,  Madeleine shares her DNA with her parents and siblings and also the general public.

You pay him then.

As you know payment is the problem. SY need to hand over the data.

I read he offered to do it for free.

Only the initial examination.  He expects to be paid for the rest of the work.

Perhaps I worded it badly but...... "Sutton, who led more than 30 successful murder investigations, said it was well-rehearsed, best police practice in cases such as Madeleine McCann to eliminate those closest to the child first. "

Dr Perlin might help here!!

I suggest you listen to him again... he says he'll have an answer in two weeks and do it pro bono.... In any case why has the cost suddenly become the issue... I bet even if he charged the money would be raised if you want to spare tax payers any more expense after the staggering amount spent on Operation Grange.

SY have done that...even the new PJ team said not suspects and no evidence against them

Not being one in the UK I’m sure you’re not.

Exactement.  But I don't pay tax in France either because I am destitute.
