Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
Madeleine McCann investigation receives yet more funding. When will it be time to end this farce, it's pretty clear the only critical line of enquiry the police should be following is that of investigating the parents. £11.75m spent to date, the whole thing stinks of cover up.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
I would actually laugh at your analysis, if this wasn't such a sad and tragic case.
What would you investigate the parents for? Who is covering what up?

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
Time they answered the questions they refused and also took a poly test! Getting to be a farce now...especially with all the cuts in funding for front line cops....Disgusting decision. All the while the McCanns are profiteering from books etc....why can't they fund it themselves....they are highly paid doctors after all....who left their kids alone so they could go drinking and have a good time.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
They have friends in high places that’s for sure.
The Portuguese police already have the evidence to charge the parents but it has been blocked from a diplomatic level.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
Some disappointing views on here already... means testing the victims family !! Their fault so they pay !!
One can only assume that a business case had to have been made for more funding. In that case then there is work to be done. If the Portuguese had done a better job from the outset then maybe all this wouldn't be necessary.
FWIW, I think that if the parents had been culpable then the body would have been found long before now.

"FWIW, I think that if the parents had been culpable then the body would have been found long before now."
Despite all my misgivings about this incident these are my views also.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
Good post and some good viewpoints. The whole case is very shifty. Why weren't the questions answered ? Whilst the parents,even if innocent of something more sinister, didn't put their children first when they went out, at the end of the day a child is missing / dead in all of this. Hopefully the truth will come out one day.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
This should be good value if it's anything like the last UTC thread on the MM disappearance. I recall one user directly accused Gordon Brown of being involved in the cover up, and another had damning evidence of the parents guilt but couldn't provide a link to it when pressed, only cryptically implying that it was there "if I wanted to find it". Yep, this one really brings out the conspiracy theorists.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
The tragic thing is if they hadn’t gone on “the lash” with their friends leaving their very young children alone in a room in a foreign country adjoining a road with a distance of about 80 metres between them, not to mention a swimming pool, we wouldn’t be discussing this.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
The parents were badly in error to leave her alone but all parents make errors bringing up their kids. (NOT to be confused with parents who just dont give much of a stuff about their kids).
99%+ of the time the errors dont come to much but in this instance it did - bigtime. I feel sorry for them for that, it must be heartbreaking to know that your slip-up led to the loss of your child & not knowing what's happened t them.
Did people blame James Bulger's mother to the same extent for letting the little boy out of her sight in a shopping centre (genuine Q)? I dont recall that they did; maybe because the real culprits were quickly found and prosecuted/vilified.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
As much as I agree that if I were the parent of a missing child I'd want the government to do everything they can, I'd like to think I'd accept there's a reasonable timeline where using public funds is no longer acceptable.
As has been said above, we've cut front line policing to the bone - we can't afford to properly investigate every crime that is reported, people are in some cases behaving like it's the wild west delivering vigilante justice because we are so painfully underresourced. Yet, we can afford to keep throwing money at a case that will never be solved at this stage.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
Took a turn to the weird side after speaking to a work colleague of her father who was adamant that something was awry at the time of her going missing.
So many conspiracy theories on this one but it does go a lot deeper than just “my kids gone missing” - to the point of the pictures being used of MM in Portugal not even being from that holiday - why has there never been any CCTV of her at the airport landing etc ... or in general in portugal with her parents.
Why did the Dr who worked alongside her father (her dads best mate) and was being charged for noncing suddenly take his own life.... there are a few loose ends - any parent would want it fully investigated but there has to be a point where you go “right, we spent 11 mill and I don’t think it’s wise to keep spending now at that level”.

No one knows the truth of what happened here. I've never left my kids on their own at that age but I'm well aware that lots of people do as I remember the discussions at work about it at the time.
No one deserves to lose their child in this way and not know what happened. No one.

They have decided that they don't like getting libelled by ***** behind a keyboard.
I'd like to think I wouldn't do what they did (this is me being honest with myself, you should really try it sometime) but who knows? I can't even begin to comprehend what they are going through, especially as they know that if they hadn't left her to go for a meal she would in all probability still be here.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
There are lots of websites out there on this subject. The McCanns have some powerful friends. There are only a couple of photos ever been made available from that holiday. There were some very weird co-holidaymakers with them. The language and behaviour does not match mine or even come close... but there is no proof of what happened. I do know if I was spending money it would be on properly investigating the parents. Just so they could be vindicated if they are innocent. Cos half the world thinks they are the guilty parties.
Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
If the parents were guilty then the parents wouldn't be continuing to press for funding of the investigation after all these years. They could drop it without anyone batting an eyelid. Why would they continue to try and keep this in the public consciousness if they were guilty of anything?andyh wrote:There are lots of websites out there on this subject.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
If anything positive has come out of this it is probably the awareness which has been highlighted to many parents about leaving their kids alone unattended.
They arent they only ones that have done that and if its stopped others doing it at least there is that.
Its perfectly plausible that they just left her unattended 'only' 80m away in a supposedly secure holiday complex. And its perfectly plausible that someone had watched them do that several days in a row before taking their opportunity to snatch her.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
You misunderstood me and that may have been my fault. What I meant was if they found her alive and she was, presumably, living in a nice place with a family with wealth (which I'm guessing would be the case) that loved her (however questionably she was aquired) it would be right and proper to take her away and charge the people she was with with abduction. However what I MEANT was a child remembers nothing before they were 3 or even older so unless someone had been kindly reminding her of her parents (highly unlikely under the circumstances) she would remember absolutely nothing of her past life, she would only know what she remembers from her current situation. Basically she would know her 'captors' as her parents and from that point of view she would be devastated at being removed from their care. Therefore cruel to remove her but nevertheless necessary.arise_sir_charge wrote:Can't believe I have just read that!

I hope this has cleared things up. As a post script if she was found alive and removed from her situatiuon I would be loathe to immediately hand her back to her parents until they could prove to be fit and proper parents, which they obviously were not at the time.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
I dont think it is ****** up per se. He has a certain point, in that if a little girl has not seen or been with her parents since the age of 4 she wont know who they are etc. He is not saying leave her with a paedo ring! He is saying that it could be pyschologically even more damaging for all concerned (including her siblings) if she is suddenly found and dropped off straight back into a normal family routine.NRC wrote:that must be one of the most ******-up comments I've ever read on here.

I can't help but think that the McCann's haven't done themselves any favours with some of their actions (i.e. refusing to answer questions) which has resulted in a lot of people assuming them to be guilty of involvement.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
The Portuguese police did investigate this properly ... and then other forces intervened.fidelcastro wrote:I'm sure it would've been properly investigated from the outset, had it happened over here though
I suggest people watch The True Story of Madeleine McCann, part 1 onwards by Richard Hall, an investigative reporter from Newcastle. It's a superb Youtube series.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
You are the one who is f**ck*d up mate. No one knows what happened to her and the chances are she isn't alive but you are making the assumption, based on no evidence whatsoever, that she is in the hands of perverts. Why would you assume that? My statement was based on the fact that children are often abducted to order but wind up with people who are wealthy and who care for them, it doesn't make it right but it happens. If that is the case here she should be taken away from the offenders but it would still be cruel because she knows no other life.NRC wrote:that must be one of the most ******-up comments I've ever read on here. This poor girl, if alive, has been used and abused by pedos, along with thousands of other girls suffering the same fate that you don't hear about because they weren't born to wealthy parents, capable of driving funding and publicity.
If the only thing that came out of this was that multiple pedo rings had been uncovered and shut down, then that would be a positive, but I'm not even aware of that...
and yes, they should not have left them alone. very simply it's neglect, albeit it if an instant nature, rather than prolonged, but still neglect.
There, I've justified and clarified my statement, now you do the same, why are you so convinced she is with perverts?
Incidentally I think she is probably dead but you never know.

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
CC, if alive she is not living with a nice, law-abiding family. it's dreamland to think that. I've just spent 12 months helping grandparents adopt their grandchild in lieu of their daughter and their granddaughter's father, who are both drug users. it's a heck of a process, so "good parents" don't just happen on a child. More likely she is dead, or living in a secret "hole" for pedos.cricketfieldclarets wrote:I dont think it is ****** up per se. He has a certain point, in that if a little girl has not seen or been with her parents since the age of 4 she wont know who they are etc. He is not saying leave her with a paedo ring! He is saying that it could be pyschologically even more damaging for all concerned (including her siblings) if she is suddenly found and dropped off straight back into a normal family routine.
And no, any decent child psychologist will tell you any child that has been abducted would rather go back to natural parents that they might not remember. That adopted kids typically want to know who their natural parents are is an illustration of that natural bond, and I'm sure their are members of this forum who would support that from personal experience
Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
The thing I don’t get then is why they lawyered up and would t answer all the questions the Portuguese police asked. I would if I was innocent. I would understand why I was asked detailed questions and my answers would be consistent. Yes I would keep asking them to look for the real perpetrators but I would understand why I was a suspect. The McCanns and their friends were very unhelpful. The hired the worlds worst PIs. Etc. Why keep it in the spotlight.... so people might stop thinking they are guilty...martin_p wrote:If the parents were guilty then the parents wouldn't be continuing to press for funding of the investigation after all these years. They could drop it without anyone batting an eyelid. Why would they continue to try and keep this in the public consciousness if they were guilty of anything?

Re: Madeleine McCann investigation receives more funding
Its a fair point, and I am not disputing any of that. More defending the point houseboy had made, where people were trying to quote him out of context. The logic of what he was saying was sound.NRC wrote:CC, if alive she is not living with a nice, law-abiding family. it's dreamland to think that.
