'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.

The point I am making is
it is feasible that they could have murdered her, or been involved in covering up a death or the abduction. Something can be feasible and likely to happen even if its not happened. That's the point I'm making.
I have not said they've done it.
I have previously said, and I stand by it, that they have acted totally irresponsible in leaving her and the other 2 kids alone.
You seem to dismiss the feasibility of the fact that they could have done it by arguing that they have more to lose by covering it up, by the fact that they are intelligent enough to realise the difficulty of getting away with it and the risk of getting caught, and the fact that they have not been named in the investigation.
I'm of the opinion that whilst they might not have done it, its feasible they could have.
