The two men did speak out on the official Facebook page but their comments were deleted when they explained what happened. Apparently they were going to drive Jay back to his accommodation but then discovered Jay had stolen a watch off one of them, so they asked him to leave amd told him he'd have to take the bus back.

They are very suspicious. I see no point in the McCann detective being involved when he and the other detectives couldn't solve the incident of Maddy McCann disappearance.
