I've just skimmed the Pat Brown theory,and I must admit,I don't believe a word that comes from that woman. I remember reading quite a lot of her articles back in 2007 and her writings immediately had my heckles rising. The most neurotic of writers I've ever come across and she's totally wrong about the McCann case.
If Richard Hall is from the " same stable ",then I flatly refuse to be drawn into something which I know in my mind to be supposition and more neuroses on cobbled-up theories about the McCanns.
Not your fault,Roch,but I've been a staunch supporter of the family,not because of who they are,as this can happen to anyone,but when a case is re-opened it means that someone wants to get to the truth and because they crave the truth,they wish to be kept in the public eye as I would,as Jeremy is trying to do.
My take is that had there ever been any jiggery-pokery,they'd have hoped that the matter got buried ( sorry ) never to be heard of again.
For instance,Rolf Harris dropped his latest appeal ? Because he knew he was guilty,so therefore wouldn't persue it. It's as simple as that. Nobody wants,nor wishes to be reminded of their crime.
