I'm sure we could dig up some examples of where evidence has pointed to the guilty party doing it but they have got away with it.
I've reversed into a car damaged it, got away with it because there's no evidence or witnesses. Not exactly murder but it hilights the point Im making.

In which case, I'm not sure what point you're making. The fact that parents murder their children does not mean that Madeline's parents murdered her. The fact that other people get away with crimes does not mean that the McCanns are getting away with a crime.
'It is possible that the McCanns were responsible for the disappearance of their daughter' is a factual statement. It is possible. But that statement by itself doesn't get us anywhere. Where is the probable cause? Where is the evidence? Without any of this, there seems little point in constant repetition of what can only be baseless speculation.
There is also the very handy point of Portuguese law that states the police must name the McCanns as suspects if they are actively investigating them. That they have not done this should not be overlooked.
