Apart from all the obvious questions regarding this nasty situation, I cant understand why, if they have the perp, can they not find this little girl.
The Police are apparently searching in different areas indicated by the suspect but to no avail.
In cases like this, surely a quick application of a truth drug would help?
He's clearly a nutter, I read he got evicted for keeping hens inside his house.

Its a missing kiddies life that's at stake here. I'm all for human rights, but has this bloke got the right to silence when a kiddies life is maybe at stake - if its not to late already? BTW, I didn't mention torture.
I understand its the start of a very slippery slope, but it was only a question, not my statement of principle and what i believe should happen. Calm down please at the back.
If it was your daughter, just how would you feel?

They are not reliable. That's a fact.
How would you deal with the consequences of say, damaging the mental health of the innocent person to whom you administered this mythical drug? A bit of compo and a public apology? I bet Timothy Evans is delighted with his pardon!
What sort of 'substantial procedures' would you propose? I'd be particularly interested in what procedures you think should be followed that would allow the use of drugs on the person presently under arrest.

What happens if the "perp" is talking, and all he's saying is "I don't know where she is" and "I'm innocent" for the very good reason that he has no idea where the little girl is because he had nothing to do with the disapearence? Should torture be justified "coz we got dis bloke rite an he looks a bit ov a nutta?" Innocent until PROVEN guilty is supposed to be a cornerstone of our justice system (don't get me started on that) so what you suggest is torturing innocent people until they confess, that has been tried before and doesn't really work out well.
In my original post I indicated that the Police were searching several areas specified by the suspect. Now if he was innocent, why would he be suggesting areas to search? I haven't suggested torture at all. As a matter of interest, someone mentioned that it takes a skilled person to administer the drugs and get benefit from them. As a matter of interest, where do they gain that experience?
Anyway, its straying from my original simplistic question - I didn't want to raise a furore of debate regarding civil liberties, something that has clearly been denied the kiddie in question.
