I mean, its been reported so many times that the squad working on this case from Scotland Yard is the homicide squad. Not missing persons or something, homicide. Why on earth would that be? The intruder killing her is impossible given the claimed checking routine. As the body would have to be there for (I believe it is) 90 mins...

I've been reading more about it and I think I'm changing my opinion on it tbh. The thing I can't get my head around though is why they've maintained such a prominent public profile, sure it's something they'd do at the beginning to avert suspicion but not still after 10 years? Because if they had anything to do with what happened to her, or covered up an accident, and have been lying about it, surely the last thing you'd want is to stay in the public eye and have people questioning every action you take, and you'd be so distraught by what you'd done you'd want to do everything possible to try and forget it, not have constant and unnecessary reminders. I think the only way it would be possible for the cover up theory to be true is if they weren't distraught by what they'd done, but surely you'd have to have something seriously mentally wrong with you for that to be the case since it involves disposing of their childs body. It's just unimaginable. And I suppose there could be something seriously mentally wrong with them, but then that's also a big assumption to make so I don't know if I really believe it. Unless they're psychopaths I can't imagine anything other than them believing her to have gone missing would be correct... but then yeah there's a lot more evidence than I'd realised before so I'm not really sure what I think. I intend to read Amarals book though (I think I saw the link posted in this thread).
