But I do NOT understand why the parents were never suspects here. Their word that it was an abduction was just taken. Its dodgy as hell, as most cases involving children involve parents/close family/friends. I just dont understand how they were written off so quickly. To do a real investigation at this point would mean questioning the parents, the friends, ad going over every damn thing with a fine tooth comb, no matter how uncomfortable this makes people. Yes, chances are nothing would come of it, but it needs to be done.
Making up burglars who happen to take children instead of valuables is not what should be happening at this point 6 years and 10m+ on. |
I completely agree. I take issue with the McCanns refusing to co-operate with the police. Some of those questions were brutal, yes, but don't they understand that the police have to explore every avenue to try and find out what happened to her? The police need to be able to rule them out as suspects in order to narrow down their enquiries; by not playing ball the McCanns have held up the investigation and have ensured that any chance of finding Madeleine went from possible to bordering on impossible. Or perhaps they do understand perfectly well that by refusing to cooperate, they make it difficult for the police to solve the crime because there are just too many possibilities that lead to more possibilities for the police to ever realistically solve this in a reasonable amount of time - maybe they're hoping that by the time the police make any sort of breakthrough, the leads will be dead anyway.
I just can't understand why a mother who has lost her child would do anything other than fully cooperate with the police. Wouldn't you do whatever you could to try and get your child back? Then again, regardless of her guilt, I'm not surprised. It's just yet another example of their selfish behaviour - she'd rather not answer the questions and wallow in how offended she is that they would ask her such questions than answer them and help the police help her get her daughter back. How can she be so selfish that she doesn't want to help them help her out? Can't she see that the questions aren't being asked to offend her, they're being asked to narrow down the enquiries? But this is a woman who was happy to leave her children alone in an unlocked holiday apartment out of her sight, so why am I at all surprised?
