I may have got this completely wrong. But, I wonder why responsible parents would leave a small child, home alone, without some kind of supervision, and go out for a meal? I should imagine that in Portugal, for peace of mind, it would have been less than the cost of a meal for two, to have employed the services of a baby sitter? Call it a suspicious mind at work, but it does appear to me to be a rather convenient way of trying to establish an alibi. I wasn't impressed with the initial televised media interview. I thought, 'guilty as sin'. I wonder if it had been a British police investigation, whether the police would have been concentrating on questions closer to home?
As I say, just a thought.
