escargot1 said:My mind is open though. While I feel that the McCanns were wrong (in the sense of asking for trouble) to leave the children alone, that doesn't make them murderers.
Plus, they had no opportunity to dispose of a rapidly-decomposing corpse in the time after the disappearance as their every move was followed by the press. They have invited publicity at every stage -very dangerous behaviour for people trying to keep such a secret,
While it is true that most murdered children have been killed by their parents, guardians or step parents, not all are. A few, a very few, are abducted and killed by strangers, and this appears to have happened here.
I'm not dogmatic about this - I will be happy to eat my words if necessary.
Until we hear something new, though, there's no point in discussing it, so I'm off to teh fluffeh kitteh site.
I'm with you Esc and for the same reasons.
Someone pointed out of R4 yesterday that the police who keep talking to the Portuguese press about all these "leads" and so on are breaking the law and could be jailed for it. Which makes me wonder whether the Police really hate them so much its worth it or whether the press are just making the claims up entirely.
