No reliable sources have gone on record and stated Adams was responsible They have instead chosen to attribute the claims to either the McConville family or Brendan Hughes The McConville family probably only got their information from the book with the Hughes interview anyway and while threatening to launch a civil suit last year now seem to have backtracked from that position As the April issue of Phoenix magazine noted Hughes evidence is hearsay He was not at the meeting where it was discussed instead hearing about what happened from a third party Neither the McConville family or Brendan Hughes are reliable sources for an allegation of that magnitude As I stated earlier WPWELLKNOWN deals with things like affairs that is considerably different from an accusation of murder or conspiracy to murder
