Paulo Rebelo, when he took over the investigation agreed it STILL pointed in the right direction.

McCanns questioned

 For those of you who don’t know who he is, he’s the senior detective who headed the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. After he and his team investigated the case for four months, they were driven to the conclusion that Madeleine had died in the McCanns’ apartment, and that the parents must have hidden her body. His men took both Dr Gerald McCann and Dr Kate McCann in for questioning on 7 and 8 September 2007. They were not, however, arrested. Two days later, on 10 September, the McCanns returned to England.
