Could all three children have been sedated by an intruder?

Don't overlook the possibility of re-evaluation/re- interpretation of existing evidence.

In the dishwasher were still cups with traces of chocolate milk, which were never analyzed, and which could have served to prove the use of a drug - which would corroborate the hypothesis of accidental death and concealment of cadaver defended by the first coordinator of the investigation .

Not just milk ... but chocolate milk ... and never mentioned till ten years down the line.  Just goes to show "the truth is out there" or words to that effect!

I'm sure that knowing it was chocolate milk, not just ordinary milk, has advanced the investigation enormously.

Are you now admitting there were facts recorded but held back from the release file?

Some facts are more important that others...

There will be a lot of stuff withheld from the public Rob.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Perhaps the investigating authorities want to wait until they have a cast iron case ?

Such as..?  No forensics, no CCTV, no body, no murder weapon, so....what then?

There’s certainly not enough of that to draw any conclusions of the the “case cracked” variety IMO.

I hope Brietta reads this.

I can assure you that for operational reasons the police keep a lot of stuff secret, it's all part of the game.

I assume you're speaking from experience John? Am I also correct to assume that the only evidence presented to the CPS by the UK police is that which they think will secure a conviction?

What reason would the PJ have for witholding stuff from the PJ files, which did include statements from the Gaspars, for example?

The Gasper statements were taken by the UK police, not the PJ.

Were they not included in the released PJ files?

In theory there requires to be full disclosure but that doesn't always happen for many reasons.  Investigations can sometimes develop tunnel vision resulting in miscarriages of justice.

Many reasons but primarily the need to withhold evidence which could otherwise jeopardise the investigation.
