I can't help feeling this is more to do with the police running out of leads than anything else. I'd be happy to see them face some kind of negligence charge, but it's a bit of a leap to think they are directly responsible. But then the police might have much better evidence than we know about.

Plus if it was an accident and they were trying to cover it up, surely by now they would of broken and just admitted it. They are bloody good liars if the have done something, I just cant see it at all, at worse 'maybe' they did give the kid some sleeping pills and they feel guilty that who ever took her didnt have much of a job doing it.

If they are behind this, then I think they're just on a power trip. I.e. getting a big thrill out of getting away with it and getting to be in the spotlight. The accident explanation doesn't make any sense as they would have just come clean.
