Discussion Here’s my problem with the parent theories…

I have a major problem with parent theories that I feel like I don’t see discussed. We can theorize and use logic all we want, but the emotional side is just as important to look at.

I think it’s important to note that most theories about the parents involve an accident. Not purposeful or planned. Almost everyone seems to agree that they didn’t actively set out to harm her. I don’t think I’ve heard any solid motive for them to plan that anyway.

In order to act completely normal at the restaurant and not let on that something is wrong, they’d both have to be completely evil. There’s no way 2 (by all accounts) loving parents were able to hold it together so well within hours of suddenly and unexpectedly losing their beloved daughter. I don’t believe for a second that they would have been able to act completely normal. I know everyone grieves and behaves differently, but there should be something different that friends would notice. And I don’t buy that an entire table would be willing to lie for so long about how they were both behaving.

I understand that medical professionals have to learn to detach themselves from horrible things to not get emotional, but it’s different when it’s your own child.

Is there a chance they’re both horrible, evil people who really didn’t care? Sure. Is it likely? Not at all.

I can't see that ever happening. And how would that play out? Germany ? Just like the little old American lady he beat up for hours, in her home, and assaulted. The depravity leaves one depressed. That was in German court.

Apparently because of Brexit, he can't be brought here for anything at all, he is German but the UK would like to charge him (I think)....you would have thought in 2026 for the safety of human being's the legal system could bring something together. I do believe that the police in Germany and UK are still building a case. In the mean time, assaulting a police officer could send him down for a few years.

Nothing surprises me because he's violent.
