I listen to quite a lot of the 'league of nerds' youtube podcasts which tackle and debunk conspiracy theories.....I pretty much agree with them on all of these as they are applying rationality and logic onto what evidence exists.

However, one topic they haven't tackled so far is the McCann's case. I don't blame them....because when you look into it without a bias you find that there are genuine troubling issues.

I started out with all the biases on this case that most of us had for it. I'm not a homicide detective and I have that privilege. But over time lots of points have been made that haven't been answered and I think it needs looking at again with more balanced eyes. Not wallies abusing the McCanns on twitter but a look at the actual evidence.

I contacted 'the league' on twitter about it......who knows.

What are the opinions of Hol members on this case?

The sniffer dog evidence points towards a possible accident perhaps that they have covered up.....the abductor evidence looks thin at best.

Spent a lot of those donations on prosecutions of those writing books that go against them.....lost their main case.

I would like to know who the last person to see Maddie alive was, other than the McCans. Was it on the day she disappeared and when.

I haven't read the story in forensic detail but it seems the timeline comes from the McCans.

Would like to say more but it is speculation.

One more point

I think the failure of the Portuguese police to properly investigate the disappearance of a child with two streams of inquiry; and consequently effectively rule out the family, has led to a situation where its always a possibility.

When investigating an 'abduction' / 'murder' its vital to investigate all scenarios, and rule out suspects (which includes the family and friends), whilst pursuing an line of investigation into the possibility of a stranger.

Because in truth, its rare for someone to be murdered or abducted by someone they don't know or have a relationship with.

I am pretty certain they are innocent based on the facts. The idea that a world renowned heart doctor abd an anaesthetist could mess up something as simple as sedating a small child is quite frankly ridiculous. So is the idea that they would then make a decision to hide the body instead of just making up an excuse. Finally the idea that an ordinary couple would be capable of then hiding the body so effectively that is never found is again ridiculous.

I stayed in Praia da Luz in October so read up about the case and even walked past the complex on my way to the supermarket.

There's definitely a few odd parts to the case:
one where Mrs McCann runs back to alert the rest of the group of friends about the abduction - leaving the younger 2 (again) and not using a mobile phone...

The 2nd is the reaction of the cadaver dogs when sniffing the hire car - the Portuguese police were pretty certain that doesn't happen randomly.

It's certainly an odd case and I hope one day all the facts come out.
