The stuff that is now leaking into the Press would appear to be the same stuff that your colleagues have been privy to, but that in itself doesn't mean it's conclusive.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to wriggle off the hook. I hope I made clear before that I didn't hold 'the parents did it' to be impossible, just highly unlikely for all the reasons I outlined the other day. I still think it's highly unlikely to be honest, and if it should ever prove to be true, I expect to be absolutely gobsmacked by the explanation of it all that would hopefully follow a 'guilty' verdict.

I have read one or two theories being bandied about on other websites and TBH they read like conspiracy theories. It will be amazing and very sad if a conspiracy theory actually turns out to be true for once ...

Thanks for the reponse. there was never any attempt to see you wriggling on a hook, merely to see how your views might have potentially changed thats all.

Will be interesting to see if the Portugese police make a comment?
I would of thought it highly unlikely the Portugese police will comment
