I'd be interested to know how you reached your conclusion that, if evidence is found, there won't be enough to convict. That's an amazing piece of foresight that even police and lawyers don't even possess. And it's the kind of wild claim I read in this thread on a regular basis.
The parents are innocent until they are proven guilty. That's the rule. So I'm astounded that there's so much opposition to another search. Surely anything that could throw some light on what happened should be encouraged? But no... everyone on here knows much better it seems than the people involved in the case. Maybe TiBB should send a team out?
Removing something or someone from a premises without leaving fingerprints or DNA isn't a spectacular trick. It shows someone was careful, that is all.
The fact is that there is a section of this forum, and of the public, who think they know all about the case, more than the police and lawyers involved even. And you just don't. You can't pretend that you've read 13,000 pages of police files nor what evidence they may point to, nor even how to interpret the evidence that exists. You've read snippets, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The fact that people think they know more than the police, and this is a massive comspiricy to cover up for the McCanns, is a mixture of sad and hilarious.

I didn't say that? I said there could be evidence now but not enough to convict. If a body/dna/pink blanket/tennis bag etc is found where they are searching then it would be definite evidence tbh
And yes, the parents are lucky...as if dogs are enough to put someone away in OUR system (as has been proven recently) then if Madeleine had disappeared here..the dogs would again be enough evidence to convict? Even if they did have nothing to do with it..
I haven't read all 13k files no, but I have read a good few thousand pages over the years. Some might consider that an obsession..but I have a lot of spare time while I cant sleep on a night.
Oddly enough, before reading the police files (the statements are the most interesting by far IMO) I used to think the same as you...how could anyone think they were involved etc etc.
Also I don't understand how you have come to the conclusion that there is opposition to another search? I welcome this search, completely. I just think that they are looking for a body (or evidence of a body being there.. so the police have said in interviews with the news...) so close, that it rules out any random bogeymen that have got the blame thus far. The only other option besides the parents having something to do with it, is that someone purposely set out to murder her that night and bury her close..and that has never been mentioned yet
