qos_75 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I noticed the lawyer they are using to sue the Portuguese papers is doing it for free. the money isn't coming out of the campaign fund. Anyone know what is happening to the campaign fund, now that they have sensibly decided to return home and try and get on with their lives? If one or both of them were found guilty would there be a refund for the people that donated? Although, as people have highlighted I don't think it was them. Not enough time to fully dispose of the body and evidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Although, as people have highlighted I don't think it was them. Not enough time to fully dispose of the body and evidence. I'd have thought if it had been either them, or someone from their circle, the stories would have unravelled before now. Who knows though. I am sure one element of the campaign fund was relating to missing children worldwide, so presumably the money will be channeled immediately to a body responsible for investigating such things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarreZ Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 If they did do it they did a fantastic job of disposing of the body and any evidence in such a short space of time to the point where three months later two police forces have found absolutely bugger all. Maybe they eat her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I may be very naieve but I really can't see the parents murdering their little girl here. What on earth would the motive have been ? It does not stack up. Only explanation I suppose would be that they accidentally overdosed the kid, I think there is some insinuation that she was being sedated to stop her waking up. If they OD'd her did they then panic and decide to concoct this whole story ? If so then how on earth have they managed to keep themselves composed for the last 3 months. Just doesn't sound feasible to me. I don't think the parents had anything at all to do with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont either, i dont think she is an actual suspect, its something to do with portugese law, and its beneficial to her to be classed as a suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I dont either, i dont think she is an actual suspect, its something to do with portugese law, and its beneficial to her to be classed as a suspect.

joozy Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I dont either, i dont think she is an actual suspect, its something to do with portugese law, and its beneficial to her to be classed as a suspect. You've got to admit, though, it would be great if it turned out to have been the parents that did it. Obviously, by 'great' I mean 'shocking', 'tragic' and 'heart-breaking'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Saintsible Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I would prefer it if the parents did kill her. The tought of a stranger breaking into your hotel apartment and taking your child is frightening beyond belief. The then thought of wondering where he/she is and what is happening / has happened is just terrible. At least if the parents have done it then those thoughts will leave me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I dont either, i dont think she is an actual suspect, its something to do with portugese law, and its beneficial to her to be classed as a suspect. I think there is a particular line of questioning that they can only ask a suspect. Hence making her a suspect. I still can't see it being the parents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'd like Rio Ferdinand to jump out just as the parents are about to be sentenced and tell them they've just been "merked". Shocking man! Might possibly get the perma-grinning halfwit lynched right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 What on earth would the motive have been ? It does not stack up. Who knows, and I agree that it is still very unlikely. It was always a significantly more likely scenario than the abduction theory. I've been baffled by the shock and horror when the above has been pointed out. People do nasty things every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The only reason I could think of, and it is one you hear about a lot in cases of child abuse, maybe they were trying to get her to be quiet and went too far and things got out of hand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't objected to the suggestion that they did kill their own daughter. What I objected to was the insistance that it was them. Nothing has been proved one way or the other, some folk have the McCanns banged up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Nothing has been proved one way or the other, some folk have the McCanns banged up. Just as some folk had them completely innocent, with no basis for this at all, and bridled when the very suggestion they could be involved was mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did the accusers when it was mentioned they weren't. And so continues the classic P&B form of debate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
