I have no idea .... neither have you

.... and I wouldn't presume to "hang a man" on assumptions.

Your correct. You can't prove it on that alone.
Smithman carrying a child in his arms checked his watch after passing the Smith family and the time was 10:03. Both are still unidentified 10 years later.

Hang on, the visit to the loo?

That could take 2 minutes or it could take 8 or 10.

Again, we dont know, do we?

The issue in the context that it was raised by Amanda is that the longer the elapsed time the more bizarre.

These are serious authors and respected journalists. They have come out strongly in support of the McCanns and have come down strongly on the McCanns doubters including  Amaral, Brown, Bennett, Stevo...and others, and also on the supposed evidence against the McCanns including the dogs and DNA. Which ever way the doubters on here try to spin it...this is a very significant book.

Only to supporters.

To everyone else it's a day late and a dollar short.

It is significant in as much that it is a powerful message to the general public that the McCanns are innocent

Now any member of the public with a bit of savvy and some research will see there's nae evidence of abduction.

and other possibilities exist. &%+((£

No its not a powerfull  message at all

Its one book.....only wrote from the files ....the book proves nothing...



McCanns are innocent

There are a few more books saying the mccs are not innocent you will find

its just another case of ...what you believe
Always listen to both sides of the story before you judge.

The first storyteller you will always find has modified the story, for there benefit BE WISE.

In my experience it is sometimes almost impossible to wake a child of this age who is in a deep sleep

Where is your evidence that it is only supporters who view this book as a serious piece of investigative journalism?  Has it been poorly reviewed in the press?  Have any normal people (ie: not the bunch of rabid loonies who have left 1 star reviews on Amazon) claimed it is a seriously flawed book?

How has Summers suddenly become a one star author when most of his other books were rated manly 5 star...it's because the barmy army are on the march
