He was all over the press in the beginning and was the sole suspect for some length of time. With continued investigations, the McCanns were made suspects and he was taken off the list. So much for the absurd accusation that the police targeted the parents. :hand:
There is a mountain of difference btwn a predator who abducts others kids and parents who do harm to thier own. None of us here - I hope - and most people in the world are not predators and therefore are unable to feel any sympathy or bond with such a person. They are outcasts and societies bottom rung. No one ever suspects for a second they could do the same terrible act.
Most of us are parents or have children close to them that cannot fathom what would make a parent do something like this because we like to believe there is a common ground of decency, love, compassion we all share. Well, it is a fact that parents do kill. Statistics tell us most children are indeed harmed by family members. So actually they are even worse than the stranger predator, and harder to understand. Thats why so many cannot even bring themselves to question the McCanns - if the McCanns could do this, so could anyone. There really is no difference btwn the best and the worst if you only judge whats on the surface.
