Please provide the cite for the McCanns being suspected of murder as per forum rules. The gist of it doesn’t really count.

A cite has been provided on two occasions already this morning.

Whether or not it meets with your opinion or approval ... it remains a valid cite

It is everything to do with the point and interesting that you are incapable of answering it.

If course the police considered murder. It would be absurd not to. Still not a cite they suspected the McCanns of it.

Great, so they considered the parents murdered Madeleine but why dismiss it - on what grounds?

You appear to have misunderstood. I didn’t say they considered the McCanns as suspects.

More likely to have considered them to be responsible for her death rather than murder - IMO.
There are many causes of death besides murder, which is a deliberate act.

It should meet with forum rules

Thanks

I have misunderstood nothing, I am not Brietta and I am (in the spirit of the title of this thread) asking a related but slightly different question and it is this: did the police ever suspect the McCanns of murdering Madeleine and if not, why dismiss the idea?

So on what grounds would they have dismissed murder?  Rhetorical question, I don’t expect an answer but it’s still a very valid question IMO.

No idea, I am not the PJ.

Lack of evidence of a murder.  Where is the blood?  Where is the body? Where are the weapons?

If you think the parents capable of neglect, of drugging, of body disposal, why not murder?  It’s not a massive leap yet apparently this never crossed their minds...?

Lack of evidence of drugging and body disposal yet that’s what Amaral and his cronies believe(d).

Well for Murder you need a motive, and a plan. if you meet both criteria you will conceal the body.
NB: strangulation does not require loss of blood or a murder weapon.

 For those readers who do noyt post but have an interest of the case- the PJ have never openly accused the Family of murdering their daughter. Some are trying to claim this,  and add momentum to the ha te campaign against the PJ and in particular Sr Amaral.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Some people seem quite affronted by the idea that the PJ suspected the McCanns might have committed murder.  I wonder why.  Genuinely curious.  Rant over.

For balance,lack of evidence of a burglary gone wrong but Redwood and his cronies spent a wad of tax payers money in search of it.
