Nobody
has been obliged to write a book about this, but they did

I doubt those who did wrote what they writ for reasons of altruism or "setting the record straight".

It began with 'no evidence' that she had been harmed. I think someone must have pointed out that she must have suffered mentally if not physically, so it then became 'no evidence' of physical harm.

Coming to "harm" or to "serious harm" can be a euphemism.

Was euphemism the right word?
"euphemism

noun
a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.
"the jargon has given us ‘downsizing’ as a euphemism for cuts"
synonyms:   polite term, substitute, mild alternative, indirect term, understatement, underplaying, softening, politeness, genteelism, coy term
"‘professional foul’ is just a euphemism for cheating""

Yes. Many adults would understand, but kids could be watching their TV appeals as well.

Are you suggesting they were being careful so as not to scare these children?

 No.

The PR machine was in full swing from the:
 'like sitting in your garden'
 'we could see the flat from where we were sitting'
'it is a UK cultural thing to leave your children alone in strange coutries'
the story move from 'abducted by paedophiles' to being cradled in the arms of a a loving couple
Then we have  'she came to no harm' (OK that was changed to there is  no evidence BUT being snatched form your bed by a stranger is indeed causing harm)- therefore absolving themselves of any responsibility what so ever. And that pope visit was a great PR boost.

Final report not yet sent to Portugal Gazeta Digital

Portuguese TV crew creates panic in Birmingham

The final report of the analysis being made at Forensic Science Service (FSS), the British Police laboratory in Birmingham, wasn't yet sent to Portugal. Only some partial results were sent and Portuguese CID received it today, September 5. The British Police laboratory has been sending some partial results to the Portuguese authorities since the second week of August, as The Times referred, in August 16.

Meanwhile, a Portuguese TV crew that was recording in front of FSS building, in Birmingham, was threatened and Police was called, by the private security of FSS. Tiago Contreiras, from RTP, was warned first, by a security element that "he should leave the place, immediately, for security reasons, as that area was off-limits for journalists". When the journalist questioned that order, somebody who introduced herself as the laboratory director, talking in a "very aggressive way", as Tiago Contreiras told, threatened the journalists, saying that if he didn't moved from that place immediately he would face some unpleasant consequences.

A police car came to the place but the policemen remain inside and took no action. Inside the FSS building, there was total panic. As soon as a foreign TV crew was spotted, internal security gave orders to close all the windows and the building's entry was blocked, with orders to not allow anyone to go out or come inside.

The TV crew has an interview scheduled wit Madeleine's grandmother but, after this episode, the McCann family Press Office called Tiago Contreiras and cancelled the interview.

The reference of Mr. Levy about we, both having access to a FSS report signed by "more than ten FSS professionals" is completly false and was done after I cut all relations with him.

Did you ever have any indication as to who was behind Levy?

Was this the preliminary  report that was supposed to have existed but now claimed to be completely false
