I dont think its impossible either, Eloise, just that the probability when you take into account an idea of likelihood ratios that the scenarios would be close to zero.
Police are people just like we are. Some are skilled investigators; some not as skilled, some feel their jobs are vocations; to others their job is just that, a job. I do trust them generally, as much as I trust nurses, doctors and teachers, etc; despite being let down by some and growing up in the same general area as Roger Rogerson. Basically, my recent experience of police officers is that if I dont come to their notice for breaking the law, they dont purposely go out of their way to insert themselves into my life, other than to give me a friendly smile and a Hello. in response to mine. Their jobs are difficult enough without going to look for members of the general public to arrest (but Im sure, just like us, they have their good and bad days). Sure they sometimes make unwise, even fatal, decisions but I think they are the exception rather than the rule.
I dont idolise DCI Jubelin either, despite my jokes about him. I am well aware of at least one of his failings irt the Gordon Wood case. I actually heard the physicist(?) Dr Philip(?) Cross speak about the evidence he provided in the case and why it was correct. I was convinced until I read about the quashing of Mr Woods conviction and after reading the record of interview I think DCI Jubelin was too. Id like to think he is a little more circumspect and skilled as a lead investigator in Williams case. Just as Id hope none of us are the people we were 20 years ago, Id hope we have all become wiser with age. Although maybe Im simply naive.
Undoubtedly, there are aspects of Williams case we dont know but I have always read or listened very carefully to official statements/pressers; especially those made by DCI Jubelin. In fact, out of the multitude of MSM articles/TV programs, those are the only words I take at anywhere near face value and Im well aware words can be twisted. I really cant see that there is any conspiracy connected with Williams disappearance from what Ive heard so far and I trust that he has Williams and his families best interests at heart and there are excellent reasons for holding back information from the public that could harm a successful prosecution of an offender.
I dont think Williams families were responsible for his disappearance either. Hopefully, one day we will learn what happened to him that fateful day.
