Robert Black was a murderer and pedophile that used to just roll up with a white van grab kids off the street and that was game over.
He only got caught because it was seen. the net dropped on him quick.

it was a ten second gap of kids being vulnerable? FFS.

I agree with Aka. Perception is all we really have.. And i took an instant dislike to the father. Doesn't make him guilty of course but does muddy the waters..

Aka - I just read the latter part of this thread, and posted what I thought. This is not a subject I would normally click/post on. You'd know more about this one than me.

Why is initial suspect's mother, now stating ( 10 years later), that she remembers seeing a woman wearing a purple top,  outside McCann's apartment and seeing a car travelling the wrong way down a one way street,at speed, toward the apartment ??

I think we now know the answer to this and so should the police,talk about giving it away..

Mothers first interview after abduction she says " please please do not hurt her, please do not scare her"

Like leaving her on her own night after night & the night after she became very upset after waking up & her parents were nowhere to be seen, they STILL leave her. 

All the sympathy is for that missing child words fail me as far as the parents are concerned.

Nothing in her police statement about this sighting from Mrs. Murat

think the usual conspiracy theories don't really help to solve the case.

some of the people interviewed seemed a bit fishy. like the guy at the end. Then the murat mother was on the news later talking about this woman who was outside the apartment acting strangely. and then she saw a brown car driving in the opposite direction. really? and she just happened to be driving outside at that time and saw that much going on and no one else seems to have done so?

plus the parents, especially the father, didn't come across as likeable. he came across as being extremely arrogant in that interview at the beginning. saying the dogs were unreliable but they barked, didn't they? they couldn't have been that unreliable if the police used them.

He; and his attitude, is the reason they are trolled..
By:
scandanavian_haven
When: 03 May 17 23:46
so a parent of a missing child is a 'trolled' because people don't like the way he comes across? wow they are brave, and pumphol you're another person in a very long list who has used this as a platform to make yourself look like a perfect parent with that kind of post, it's been rinsed.

1 question nobody likes to answer is, where and how could they have hidden a body in such a short space of time in a place they didn't know ? and to get away with it for 10 years?
By:
lewisham ranger
When: 03 May 17 23:51
I don't think the parents did it, I'm pretty sure after watching the documentary.

My best guess is an individual paedophile did it, and he didn't kidnap to order or work for any gang.

If so it's quite likely she's living in some basement somewhere as his wife, which has happened in other cases.

So many are so dispassionate and irrational when it comes to crucifying the McCanns.

The gap between the supposed irresponsibility of leaving them unattended, to covering up the details of an accidental death (or worse), is more of a chasm.

Yet so many are willing to narrow it.

The likeability of the father or mother is completely irrelevant.

They'd have to be metallic to continue this charade and stay together at the end of it.
By:
guinness2dear
When: 04 May 17 00:06
Plenty of psychos manage it. Of course the likeability is important in this shallow world we we live in. He gets far more abuse online than she does. Now why is that?
By:
doantwin2easy
When: 04 May 17 00:16
Probably because as a father, people lack the empathy with him that the mother gets as a prerequisite.

Probably because his stoical nature means that he fails to publicly convey the depth of feeling, and outpouring of emotion, that people demand.

They look and act strange.

No reason of course for them to be trolled or any suggestion that they played a part in the "abduction" but their odd body language certainly leaves you feeling uncomfortable when watching them. Nothing specific but their non verbal subtle signals never seem to quite match what they are saying.  This is particularly strange when considering their professions as both will have received training in communicating verbally and non-verbally with patients.
By:

When: 04 May 17 09:23
In my view, the McCanns played no part whatsoever in the disappearance.

I didn't see this programme and I haven't read the whole thread but if the parents were in any way complicit, why would they have done everything in their power to keep the issue at the forefront of police and piblic consciousness?

I think that backs up what i said, bix. They're strange animals indeed..
