Sure, it's hard to believe. I struggle myself sometimes.
However, if they had nothing to with it, why would they be so obstructive and uncooperative with the investigation?
The McCanns and the Tapas gang were happy to assist the police when pointing the finger at Murat, the PJ only became incompetent, lazy and shoddy once the McCanns were suspected.
The media frenzy was not immediate, in the early days Kate and Gerry carried on jogging etc. and apart from a pre-arranged stroll-with-the-twins-in-pushchair photocall, usually in the afternoon, the media kept a respectful distance from the anguished parents.
The entire world was not watching and when they were being observed, well........lugging around hold-alls that they later denied owning, dumping fridges, leaving the car boot open overnight (same car boot alerted to by dogs) etc. etc.
Washing cuddle cat? The last thing your daughter cuddled? Her clothes? Losing her scent forever, why?
If your child had been abducted and you were told cadaver dogs had reacted to the apartment , car etc.
Would you say, "OMG, does that mean she could be dead?' or would you start dismissing the dogs, talking about rotten meat and dirty nappies being transported in the car and claiming to have been in contact with several dead patients the week before in your capacity as GP six hours a week?
If they had nothing to do with it why not answer the PJ's questions? She's just written a book and she didn't answer them in that either.
I know Amaral's theory sounds fanciful and far fetched but if he's wrong and they know nothing, why all the lies? Riddle me this.
