So if we are not privy to what has happened in the investigation since the statement about the 9 was made right at the start of the investigation how do you know for certain that that position about the 9 not being suspects or persons of interest remains in place now?
Do you accept, and I'm using your logic here, that information could have come to light over the course of the investigation, making them suspects but we wouldn't know about it becuase SY aren't as you say providing a running commentary?
If you do not accept this then please can you explain why you don't in light of your post I have quoted?
No - I do not accept it is possible that the McCanns will ever be suspected of being involved in their daughter's removal from 5A.
This is my explanation as requested:-
If you want me to believe they may be complicit in this crime - then first of all you would have to prove that they are both psychopaths.
Then you would have to prove that their 7 friends are either all mentally deranged or as thick as two planks that they would happily make themselves accomplices to an horrendous crime as if it was no big deal whatsoever for them to become involved.
Then you would have to prove that every single expert in their field who have actually met/observed/spent time with the McCanns which include police officers, FLO's, trauma counsellors, psychologists to name but a few - are all incompetent/completely wrong. Especially the Detectives in this case who do have ALL the professionally translated files at their disposal - and the ability to interview people as and when they wish.
Then having proved that none of the above know what they are talking about you would then have to convince me that with only SOME of the available information - ( mainly from files translated by amateurs), people with NO expertise, who have never met or spoken to the McCanns, know more about them and the details of this case than the professionals.
Then you would need to explain why everything the McCanns have done in the last 7 years is the exact opposite of what guilty people would do. No guilty person would press so strongly to have a case re-opened and meticulously examined - including having themselves examined by SY if they knew they were the guilty parties . It would also need to be explained why their 7 accomplices would sit back and allow the McCanns to put all of them in the horrific position of 'waiting for a knock on the door' every day of their lives - especially knowing that they had the option of simply keeping their heads down and waiting for it all to die away naturally.
IMO nothing which can happen in the meantime can change any of the above. In the light of that - coupled with the fact that I am not a conspiracy theorist - I do not believe the McCanns or their friends will ever be made suspects in this case.
