why criticising the Met police?

by marconi 25.05.13 1:04

Why are people criticizing the Met police whilsh we all know that they are already getting to the bottom of the review? 20 persons of interest are not much and most of them will be eliminated. We know it and the Yard knows it too.

The Met need a proof that there was no abduction and they have to check on every single person, even if they agree with the PJ's conclusion. It is a review. Not all of those 20 are suspects, the Met know it, but they have no choice than to check on all of them.

In Madeleine's fate, there was not only a small window of opportunity but also a small window in her bedroom.

All in my opinion.

Until the met police interview the Tapa crew people will continue to feel that a whitewash will be the outcome. IMO.

Of course they may have already done so, but we are not reading that this is the case.

I certainly think that if the Tapas mob had been rounded up for questioning that it would have made the tabloids.

Even if it was only along the lines of SY being as bad as the sardine munchers for daring to suspect them!

Sounds a bit like a public countdown. We're down to 20. 10, 9, 8, 7, ... Coming to get you, ready or not. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The scenic forensics as the scent on Kate's clothes/behind the sofa ARE THE EVIDENCE of no abduction... IMO of course.

I think that the police not involving the McCann's or their friends, so far, is a good sign and shows that they are seriously being considered as suspects.

If they were not under suspicion, they would have been interviewed first to see if they could remember anything else and simply to tick all the boxes.

As it stands, by the time they are "invited" in for questioning, the police will have all the evidence, will have a fair idea of what happened and will know who the weak links are within the group.

Just my opinion of course.

It is always struck me that SY have gone about this arse about face precisely because of the previous publicity and media circus around the case.

I would imagine in a "normal" case the Tapas group would have been interviewed first as that is where the conlusions of the archiving report leave the case up to.

However i get the impression they are working backwards eliminating all other possibilites of abduction and gypsies and paedos so that when the time comes for the group to be interviewed the Yard can justifiably say "we have eliminated all other possibilites" leaving the group and their spin machine nowhere to go and no way of spinning it in their faviour.

Seems to me they have learnt the lessons of the way the PJ were comprehensively outflanked in the media by the Team and are going about the investigation in such a way as to not make the same mistake.

Portugal in May 2007.

Advised not to comment, now that gives me some hope!
