The article certainly provides alot of information that looks damning for these two.
88% DNA? That doesn’t sound very positive to me.
Doesn't seem that out of whack.
1709 / 5 weeks = 342 miles/week
110 miles round trip to the airport 3x/week doesn't seem unusual to me in this case.
Now, the sniffing dogs is another matter altogether.
A human body begins to emit an odor not long after death, and that odor quickly increases to the point that you can hardly stand it. Transporting a body at three weeks after death would be nearly impossible, without someone in the public noticing the stench and reporting it.
There are a lot of charges flying around about this case. I don’t know what to make of it, but some things that are being proposed don’t seem to make much sense at all.
Perhaps this search will turn up something. I don’t know. All I know is this is one wierd case. Parents on vacation are supposed to have killed their kid under everyone’s noses, then hid the kid, then transported the kid.
Perhaps so. It sure seems unlikely to me, but then who knows for sure.
Imagine their credit card record would reveal their travels (gas, meals, lodging, etc.). Unless, of course, they paid cash, but I’d think the locals would recognize them and come forward. This whole thing is unbelievable.
How old was the child?
Actually - the police in Portugal are beginning to sound more like the Keystone Kops..
Every day - they throw up a new theory...
The couple may be guilty of something — but I doubt they will ever be proved guilty by the police currently involved...
i’ll be shocked if they did it. unlike jon benet where i still suspect
the mama.
WIFE O’BUCKHEAD
At this point, I can’t see these parents killing their child accidently or not.
The dogs were from the U.K....
Perhaps the smells of Portugal and the dogs there were exciting to them...
European “scents” are so much more interesting than in the U.K..
An 88% DNA match means they don’t have jack! The police are only going to the shrine to pray for divine intervention! LOL
Really weird. Is all this religiosity of the McCanns a big show? Were they practicing Catholics before their girl disappeared?
3 1/2, almost 4.
Pretty tricky for a couple of Brits who don’t speak Portuguese who were being obsessively stalked by the media. And I wonder how they managed to avoid being seen by the thousands of pilgrims that are milling around the Fatima shrine at any given time. It is not exactly a deserted site. Wouldn’t some of them have notice a couple of very blond people carrying around a child’s corpse?
Huh? How can they have hidden the stench of a decomposing body? With the media following them around how could they have hidden THAT? I am more than skeptical of the police and their inadequacy.
Wouldn’t one’s own DNA be a 100% match?
Well, if they’re into Fatima and all that “stuff” I believe they are at the very least, whacky, and probably more so nutty.
Also, the car they rented does not have an enclosed trunk like we are accustomed to here in the US. If I were going to transport a body around, I would try to get a car with a real trunk, assuming that they are available in Europe.
Should be, and I think we have a closer DNA match to a head of cabbage!
