3. if the answers to 1. and 2. are not equal - who filtered the information and decided what was passed on or not?
REPLY: We decided not to pass any of it on. The majority of information was from people who have known the McCanns or had contact with them. Though very interesting, none of that would be significant enough or of any evidential value to the police.
How do you know it wouldn't be of value to the police?
Basically, when the PJ investigation was archived in July 2008, the PJ made statements then, and subsequently, to the effect that they would only re-open the case if there were to be 'significant' and 'credible' evidence that would open up realistic new lines of enquiry i.e. prospects of convicting someone.
What we have to date, including the information supplied to us about the inner workings of the Brian Kennedy private investigation operation, did not in our opinion reach that bar.
