I'm not saying the family are above suspicion. People murder their children, that's a fact and its sufficient grounds to ask whether that happened here. It's not sufficient grounds for endless speculation however and it isn't sufficient grounds for the police to throw hour after hour of intense investigation at it in the hope that sooner or later, something will turn up.
I don't doubt for a second that they will have looked at how the parents behaved during a press conference but once again, it is a fallacy to make more of this than is actually the case. Asking questions and making enquiries does not infer that the police believe someone is guilty.
And we return again to the issue of Portuguese law - if the police had been pursuing the McCanns with the same intensity as they have Robert Murat, whay have the McCanns not yet been declared official suspects?

In which case we are at linguistic cross-purposes. Feasible can mean either possible or likely and I have been understanding you to be suggesting the latter.
The fact that parents kill their children does indeed mean it is technically possible that the McCanns may have murdered their daughter. I do not however believe it is likely. |
And on what basis do you form your opinion that is unlikely that they murdered or were somehow involved in the dissapearance of their own child ?
Do you know the parents ?
Have you had any part in the investigation ?
Or is it a case of watching the same old media circus rubbish as 99.9% of people ? And you came to the opinion that was 'No, they couldn't possibly do such a thing'
