Strange - I was brought up to believe you said sorry because you had done something wrong, and accepted what you had done was wrong; isn't that accepting responsibility?
I suppose it depends on how you want to interpret it.

It would seem strange, though, that they would imply, in a roundabout way, that they were partially responsible, while at the same time telling us (in all 3 TV interviews, I think) that they were "very responsible" parents. Bit of a contradiction.

Also, I note from one of your earlier quotes "Kate said they blamed themselves for the disappearance in the early stages." So any responsibility they did feel soon wore off.
