UK detective refused to head up Madeleine McCann probe
UK detective refused to head up Madeleine McCann probe because 'Scotland Yard would order him to prove Kate and Gerry were innocent and ignore other leads'
Colin Sutton said he was warned by senior friend in the Met about case in 2010 Friend said he would be told 'who to talk to and what to investigate', he claimed 'Narrow focus' would be to prove Kate, Gerry and Tapas Nine innocent, he said Spoke on Sky Documentary based on leaked Home Office report that revealed 'turbulent relationship' between McCanns and police in London and Portugal A detective tipped to head up the Madeleine McCann probe was warned he would be ordered to prove she was abducted and ignore other leads. Colin Sutton said a high-ranking friend in the Met called him and warned him not to lead the case when Scotland Yard announced it would get involved in 2010. The source warned that he would be tasked with proving her parents Kate and Gerry were innocent and ignoring any alternatives to the abduction theory, he claims. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/...3765457087.jpg Speaking to Martin Brunt on Sky News, he said: 'I did receive a call from a very senior met police officer who knew me and said it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to head investigation on the basis that I wouldn’t be happy conducting an investigation being told where I could go and where I couldn’t go, the things I could investigate and the things I couldn’t. Asked to clarify what he meant, he added: 'The Scotland Yard investigation was going to be very narrowly focused and that focus would be away from any suspicion of wrongdoing on the part of the McCanns or the tapas friends.' The Tapas Nine refers to the McCann parents and the seven friends they were out to dinner with when Madeleine disappeared in 2007. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-innocent.html They were interviewed by Portuguese Police, who have always worked on the basis that Madeleine was abducted from her room, but Mr Sutton said other possibilities should be entertained. Speaking on Searching for Maddie, which looks at the case ten years on from her disappearance, he criticises the narrow focus of both Portuguese and British police. He added: 'If you are conducting a re-investigation you start at the very beginning. Look at all the accounts all the evidence all the initial statements and go through them and make sure they stack up and they compare.'

Omg it's been ten years. Poor little girl. :(

This case becomes more of a mystery every day and I become more confused about what to think. Despite that though I still struggle to believe the parents were involved - it makes no sense to me. Maybe I am believing what I want to believe in this case but I am going to stick with that. Otherwise I think I will be tempted to give up on humanity entirely. On the one hand I hope they weren't involved, on the other I think that if it was an accident they covered up at least she didn't suffer. We all need to know though, especially the parents if innocent of any wrongdoing. |

And also, SY were coming in and starting from scratch, as far I'm aware in cases like this involving a child, the parents or people who knew the child are almost always responsible, it's very rare for it to be a stranger so logically speaking shouldn't the parents be exactly where they start the investigation? |
I don't think any leading detective should have their hands tied like that. It's outrageous really that any investigation of the case is being steered in a certain direction without being probed properly and thoroughly.

Again there's lots of possible reasons, they may not actually know anything and think that them two are innocent, maybe only a couple of them know something, maybe they all sedated their kids (all were Doctors(bar 2 of the wives) and feared getting in trouble themselves, maybe there was sexual abuse going on amongst the group (*see the gasper statement below) so again feared getting in trouble themselves http://thegaspersstatement.blogspot.ie/ |
.......in my opinion recent BBC articles have been completely one sided...
......pushing a narrative ignoring glaring errors in reasoning Mark L |

I don't think we'll ever know for certain, too much time has passed and the investigation was handled terribly on all sides. I don't buy the abduction story but unless more damning evidence is found (which I doubt it will be if any hasn't surfaced by now) then any accusations are kinda pointless to make.

One big cover up.
"Prove them innocent, even if they're not". |
Kids get abducted, sold, sexually abused killed or are found years later
Parents kill their kids by accident or on purpose and cover up or try to cover it. Both of the above statements are true in the sense both happen. There is no definite proof of either, all you have is hearsays'. |

I watched the whole of the Sky doc earlier and while they were obviously very critical of the actions of both police forces it was also dismissive of any suggestion that the McCanns were involved

typical expensive establishment/freemason cover up. so predictable so very British

I wouldn't ever say it was the McCann's until it was proven that they were involved, as unlikable as they are (imo). Imagine the horror of your little child going missing, the terror and nightmarish scenarios of not knowing what was happening to that child day by day and then being accused of killing that child if you were innocent. It's unimaginable. They deserve the benefit of the doubt purely on the grounds of compassion/not knowing for sure... Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I don't know if this will be of interest to anyone , but I found out a few things I didn't know'

It would be a different case if it was parents working a normally 9-5 minimum wage job they would be told to make sure they are guilty
