But not LT! LT still believes in Kate goddamnit, until the end. He's the Sam to her Frodo .

I'm with LT on this one I haven't read this particular thread because I find the McCann discussions a bit exhausting tbh, and it's not that I don't think there's a possibility they could have been involved, there is just as there are numerous possibilities. But there's no actual evidence that they had anything to do with it, just things that look kinda dodgy, but nothing that would equate them to being child killers. Yes some scenarios that get suggested sound very unlikely, but then the scenario of parents killing their own child or covering up their child's death is also something that's extremely unlikely, so I never understand the 'well that's too unlikely, they must have been involved' argument towards what I think are plausible scenarios. So since noone really knows what happened that night I don't know why, of all the possibilities, that so many people seem so convinced that the McCanns played a part in it. I can't help but think that maybe it's because it makes it more sensationalist and more of an interesting story? I don't really get it tbh.

there is way more evidence they covered it up , than she was taken....at the very least they were appallingly neglectful parents who changed their stories umpteen times, who damaged the crime scene evidence, who left doors and windows open, who used charity money to sue people for a decade and who used public and police resources for 10 years at the expense of other thousands of lost children.....but we all know thats just the best case scenario for the mccanns, whats the horrific reality?
