An English detective reveals that he refused to lead the investigation into Maddie's disappearance because Scotland Yard would order him to investigate only the abduction case, ignoring any other clues. VIDEOInspector refuses to investigate Maddie's disappearance Detective of the Metropolitan Police says that Scotland Yard wanted only to prove the innocence of the parents.
Colin Sutton tells Sky News that a colleague of the London Metropolitan Police advised him to leave the investigation when Scotland Yard became involved in the process in 2010 about three years after the disappearance of the English girl in Praia da Luz .
The detective explains that this source assured him that the only task they would be given would be to investigate the kidnapping thesis, clearing the parents of any responsibility in the case.
"I got a call from a senior agent who told me that it was not a good idea to conduct this investigation, based on the fact that I would not be happy to lead it if you were telling me where to go and where not to go, what to investigate and Scotland Yard's investigation was going to be very focused on just one aspect, and that focus was on warding off any suspicions of the McCanns and the friends who were with them at the Tapas, "the detective says.
Colin Sutton knows that the McCanns' friends were questioned by the Judiciary Police, but says that the investigation in Portugal has always worked on the idea that Madeleine McCann had been abducted. The English criticism of the "too narrow focus" action of the Portuguese and English authorities points out that other hypotheses should be put forward. "If you are reviewing an investigation that has already been done, you start again at the beginning. You see all the evidence again, you hear all the testimonies, you go through everything and analyze how everything fits together and how it compares."
