I believe the end result will be an unsolved case.
This will suit almost everyone.
You think?
It will not suit Madeleine McCann … if you remember, she is the victim in this.
It will not suit the McCann family who have been deprived of the company of a much loved child; and who may never find out what happened to her if her case is not solved.
It won’t suit either the Met or the PJ who have invested a lot of time and effort into the search; and it won’t suit their respective governments.
It won’t suit the new prosecutors in Portugal who are anxious to have the case solved and who have invested personal credibility by declaring so.
The only people I can think of who for sure it will suit is whoever was responsible for taking Madeleine and anyone associated with the crime.
So do let’s hope the case is solved … and we are closer to that now than at any time since 2007 ... so I think there is a good chance it will be.
