I’m not sure that I said that it was acceptable but suggested that the legal situation is more complex than you seem to comprehend.

Is it illegal to return to a paedo's house and knock on the door again at a later date if they were out the first time you tried?  Who knew?!

TBH I, like you, wish Brueckner had been in and had been investigated thoroughly at the time then we would have at least been spared Wolter’s ridiculous showboating over the last couple of years.

We might also have had resolution to this case far earlier, with Madeleine's abductor currently serving a life sentence.  Oh well never mind, the PJ couldn't have been expected to prioritize and investigate properly all the known paedos in the area, what with them having to go off an investigate all the thousands and thousands of sightings that came through in the first few weeks after the disappearance.

A cite for “thousands and thousands of sightings” in the first few weeks of the investigation please.  In any case the vast majority of these were never followed up.  You are a PJ apologist if you believe it is acceptable that they knocked on the door of a paedophile in the locale where a child went missing and gave up when no one comes to the door.

I'm sure you can look in the PJ files just like I can trawl through your posts. Providing cites is so last year, isn't it?

I must say that you are awfully good at trawling through Posts.  You found one of mine from 2014 some eight years later.

We could have but seeing as it’s taken the combined efforts of 3 police forces and 5 years to get us to where we are now…no arrest, no questioning, no charges.. I very much doubt it.

To support a point I'm making, yes. To support someone else's point, no.

I think you're being a little bit childish now.  I am not providing cites to something I wrote on this forum 3 days ago.  You are a moderator and should be able to keep up with the flow of the discussion and if you can't then a quick re-read of my last few posts is all that is required.

Some crimes take many years to solve.  I'm sure you're still holding onto a vestige of hope that one day you wake up to the joyous news that the McCann and their mates have all been rounded up and thrown into the back of a Black Maria, no?

I've found it quite amusing, he's exposed just how gullible believers are.

Convinced he'd solved it, so they were, & that he'd be wrapping things up soon.

Some believers here still haven't lost faith in Wolters & the concrete evidence.

Shouldn't be much longer now aye

Did it help after eight years?  And if so, in what way?

Yes many crimes do take years to solve but not usually when you have the supposed prime suspect in your sights.

There are no hard and fast rules about how long a case should take to solve when you have a suspect in your sights.  I'm sure you wouldn't be lambasting the PJ if they suddenly announced that they'd been secretly investigating the parents for the last 10 years and were making progress towards securing a conviction would you?  You'd be cock-a-hoop, let's face it.

Could you at least try to keep to the point? You sideswipes at anyone who disagrees are not only immature but becoming rather tedious.

Let's hope we're not heading for a State Funeral on top of everything else!
