Why did Amaral and PJ suspect the McCanns and Murat as being somehow involved?

[Angelo222]

Why would they lie?  The 3 who said they saw Murat on the night of the 3rd didn't know anything about him until they saw him on TV.   And then all they did was pass on that particular piece of information - as any normal person would in those circumstances.     JT  has never identified Murat at any time, as if she had there would be a witness statement to prove it - not just Amaral's word  - who wasn't present at the failed 'identity parade'.

Murat wasn't accused of anything by the UK journalist.  She along with other reporters thought his 'interest' in the case was OTT and reminded them of the behaviour of Ian Huntley in another UK case of missing children.  They decided to pass their concerns on to the UK police.  That was the correct thing to do IMO.

Amaral's description in his book of how Murat first came to his attention, is nothing like how you describe it above.

You are 100% wrong Benice.   Campbell wrote to the police saying she thought Murat was involved.  You can't be clearer than that!!

Which other reporters?

I seldom disagree with Benice.  But I do on that point.

Campbell accused Murat, and not just to police. 

She plastered what she believed all over the pages of her paper and that was unforgivable.

Thanks for being fair, Ferryman !

And they made her Journalist of the Year

That's like Obama being given the Nobel Peace Prize 8-)(--)

Or Tony Blair as the 'middle east peace envoy'.

[Lyall]

Yes! Even better comparison. What a mixed-up world (or is just this country?)

[Lyall]

Campbell I believe was also the author of the 'cuddle cat found on shelf' story? Hmmm >@@(*&)

That woman is several  pennies short of a full load, rather like  ANTONELLA LAZZERI.

DIPSTICK of the year would be closer to it.

What's the timeline of Lori's involvement? I'm not sure how much she may - or may not - have contributed to the overall Murat witchhunt.

She says in the video that she had her suspicions from day 1 which is the exact same as what Yvonne Martin said about her involvement.  In fact, Yvonne Martin made it her business to be there very early on and spoke with the McCanns and David Payne.

[Carana]

On day 1.  She went to the resort almost immediately and spoke with the McCanns and David Payne.

Thanks. The clip you posted is about her concerns about RM. Who is interviewing her?
For the record: I have no problem at all with her reporting her concerns to the police... It's blabbing about it that I have a problem with.

[Angelo222]

She should stick to journalism and leave the detective work to the professionals.
