If they were guilty and it could be proved, it would have saved the Portuguese legal system from a world of unnecessary hurt. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - and there isn't anything other than Chinese whispers on the internet.

In the interests of having your child potentially found, there is no reason why they would refuse to answer some of the more innocuous questions. Nothing at the moment can be either proven or disproved, if it were a case of clumsy child-stealing burglars, don't you think something else would have appeared to back the theory up? I have not found burglars to be the smartest people in disguising their tracks.
