At best they were selfish,arrogant and grossly negligent, but that doesnt warrant the loss of a child. However they could have been guilty of much more but without a body nothing will ever be proven. They do come accross as deeply unpleasant and somewhat cold tho which doesnt help the publics perception of them.

No, I don't have kids. But I remember my mum leaving us alone in the garden when she popped to the shops, and being left in bed at holiday camps when we were kids. Pretty common back in those old days of the 70s - The camps ran a service where people would patrol the grounds at night listening for crying kids and then alerts would come over the tannoy.

good timing...i walked through brum airport last week on my way to fuertenvura and there were a few posters with her face as it would be now on it. i made a flippent comment to my partner that shes probably dead. i dont know what happened but they should not have left 3 kids un attended whilst they wined & dined, and they should have not refused to take a lie detector test. its a tragedy they lost a child but somethings not right.

Me neither, however less that 1% of child abductions are by a stranger, and even less child deaths. Its usually the father or the mother in a child death (or the step parent). Which is why the police in the UK investigate both angles. Family and friends tend to be the people who'll kill you. Then acquaintances / friends of friends. Murder by stranger is very rare. And even then its because they're in love with your other half.... I just don't think you have been paying attention to Murder In Paradise, Midsomer Murders, The Bridge etc.

That said it seems you can make a good livings of a dead kid. And for her sake its probably better that she's dead, the most likely alternative iis pretty f***ingf horrible

Lie detector tests on emotionally disraut people are ridiculously unreliable as they measure emotional physiological reactions. Most parents who'd lost a child would fail one. Which a test would have just made them look guilty even if they weren't. Once you started asking questions about the kid you'd get an emotional response regardless of the answer.

Polygraphs are able to be overcome by anyone who wants to do it let alone those in their or a similar situation, and we all know family are all about emotion, good, bad or indifferent.

I have heard (a phrase which you can use to discount the rest of this sentence if you want!) that they refused to participate in more than just lie detector tests though. I don't know about Portugese law but I don't believe in the UK the lie detector test results are admissible in court for that very reason. I sometimes even wonder whether the stupid chav kids on Jeremy Kyle have genuinely been given the wrong results on their tests as well. There is a caveat at the start in very small writing that says "We recognise lie detector tests aren't 100% accurate but for the purpose of viewing figures we shall persecute a nervous kid" (I might be paraphrasing).

There is a caveat at the start in very small writing that says "We recognise lie detector tests aren't 100% accurate but for the purpose of viewing figures we shall persecute a nervous kid" (I might be paraphrasing). In fact you cannot, legally, refer to it as a lie detector because it doesn't detect lies. In the US, when stating whether or not a defendant took the test, then term polygraph must be used. They're not as easy to fool as people think, it takes a bit of practice. But the problem here really is how do you establish a reasonable emotional baseline, when your going to ask questions about a recently 'abducted' child. Polygraphs generally work best, when testing things like alibi's and incidental facts of the case. Plus its often not considered sensible, when you are in a 'prime suspect' in a serious crime to actually answer the police's questions, even if you are innocent. The police aren't looking at you to rule you out, but to confirm their expectations. Its different than being a witness or a bystander. In most cases where a kid is harmed or killed, its about establishing which of the parents inflicted the harm, and how much the other parent knew about it. In the McCanns case, they'd already put themselves into a position of suspicion, because they'd left their kids alone, to go to dinner and have some fun. Any decent legal advice would be 'do not answer the questions' that I tell you to not answer. Its very important, when your innocent, to not accidentally incriminate yourself. Actually, it probably more important if your guilty, thinking about it.
