In just five weeks the McCanns clocked up 1,709 miles in the car and police want to question them about every journey they made. The couple claim they ran up the mileage making frequent return trips from the resort to Faro Airport 55 miles away.

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.

At this point, I can’t see these parents killing their child accidently or not.

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?

Well, if they’re into Fatima and all that “stuff” I believe they are at the very least, whacky, and probably more so nutty.

POLICE TO SEARCH SHRINE FOR BODY

And here I thought this was going to be a thread about Katherine Heigl.

Gads. Has anyone here been to Fatima?

At the time I was there (many years ago) it had at least 100 small stalls selling junk in name of saints, etc. I am not trying to be mean, but it was the most vulgar display I had ever seen and never since in the name of religion.

I was totally shocked.

So what is my point?

Fatima is so full of tourist wandering around, it would have been like getting rid of the body in Time Square.

Before I get flamed for maybe giving the “appearance” of being anti Catholic, I was baptized as an RC as was all of my family. As I matured, a lot of my friends were Episcopalians and eventually was confirmed there. But, we all know the rest of the story; and therefore, we all know the Episcopalian tragedy. I haven’t been to church in years.

They now believe the couple made the 500-mile return trip to Fatima to dispose of their daughter’s body.

This would actually make some sense if the parents had accidentally killed the child.

Is it possible that the corrupt police are involved in kidnapping young girls? There was another mother of a missing child who was tortured by the same police. Involvement in a kidnapping ring would provide a motive for the police to cover up the truth about the crime, and point the blame towards the parents.
