“One of the problems with trying to understand what has happened in a crime is being on the outside of the police investigation and not knowing the whole truth of what is going on. My speculation, as is true with all of us outside the investigation, professionals included, is based on limited information. Having said that, sometimes the police have the same problem. They may have limited information due to lack of evidence, lying witnesses, incorrect scientific conclusions, altered crime scenes (staged or accidentally altered), etc. So they actually are in the same boat, only a better constructed and less leaky one.” - Criminal Profiling Topic of the Day: McCann Detective 100 Percent Full of It

Specially trained dogs have been used to locate forensic cadaver material and disaster survivors.” - The dodgy DNA evidence that lead to the McCanns being made suspects

“Let’s all make one effort into ABSURDITY and, for a moment, just pretend to look the other way, assuming that there was an infamous abductor and that he was even able to do everything the McCanns have given him credit for. Let’s freeze time at the moment he has just jumped through the 5A window with Maddie peacefully in his arms.”
