I’ve watched with disbelief over the past few days how this story has continued to develop.
I can’t believe that the Policia Judiciária have put both parents up as official suspects, particularly as it seems to be based on what appears to be flimsy new evidence that has been put forward such as DNA traces found in their hire car!
Are they really trying to say that the McCann’s killed their daughter, hid the body locally and then 25 days later put it in to the hire car boot and took it away to some other place to bury it whilst all the time being hounded by the various press packs.
I’m no forensic scientist, but surely after 25 days, unless a body has been kept in a freezer (which one did the McCann’s use!) any body will have certainly started to decompose and would have left massive amounts of DNA in the boot of the car (even if wrapped), more than enough to be conclusive.
Also if the car has, or is playing such a big part in the investigation, why has it not been seized, why were the McCann’s still using to drive to the Airport yesterday.
I think that the Policia Judiciária are putting up smoke screens to cover what seems to be a lackluster investigation that has shown up serious failings in their system.
More to follow on this unfolding story I think.
