Madeleine McCann’s parents given ‘false hope" - Mark Williams-Thomas.

From 2015 http://news.met.police.uk/news/update-on-the-investigation-into-the-disappearance-of-madeleine-mccann-135459

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, from the MPS said: "The Met investigation has been painstaking and thorough and has for the first time brought together in one place what was disparate information across the world.

"This work has enabled us to better understand events in Praia da Luz the night Madeleine McCann went missing and ensure every possible measure is being taken to find out what happened to her.

"We still have very definite lines to pursue which is why we are keeping a dedicated team of officers working on the case. We have given this assurance to Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.

"The Portuguese police remain the lead investigators and our team will continue to support their inquiry. They have extended every courtesy to Operation Grange and we maintain a close working relationship. I know they remain fully committed to investigating Madeleine's disappearance with support from the Metropolitan Police.

"The Met was asked to take on this exceptional case as one of national interest. We were happy to bring our expertise to bear only on the basis that it would not detract from the policing of London; and the Home Office have additionally funded the investigation above normal grants to the Met. That will continue at the reduced level.

"I have overseen this investigation since 2012 and am very grateful for the enormous assistance of the media and public so far which, through the appeals, have generated new information and lines of Inquiry. "

Our decision and rationale has been discussed with Mr and Mrs McCann.

Mr and Mrs McCann said: "We would like to thank all the staff from Operation Grange for the meticulous and painstaking work that they have carried out over the last four and a half years. The scale and difficulty of their task has never been in doubt.

"We are reassured that the investigation to find Madeleine has been significantly progressed and the MPS has a much clearer picture of the events in Praia da Luz leading up to Madeleine's abduction in 2007.

"Given that the review phase of the investigation is essentially completed, we fully understand the reasons why the team is being reduced.

"We would also like to thank the Home Office for continuing to support the investigation.

"Whilst we do not know what happened to Madeleine, we remain hopeful that she may still be found given the ongoing lines of enquiry. "

Like I said.  In the loop.
At least I now know what you consider to be 'in the loop'.  It was most enlightening.

Thank you.   8((()*/

Yes.

Hmmm ... I imagine that Dyfed Pows Police adhere to a National standard for the deployment of Family Liaison Officers as outlined in the following policy document for homicide and suspicious deaths.

It is normal operational procedure for contact to be reviewed and the FLO occupational health to be a consideration in this.

That you chose to interpret normal procedures as pejorative as far as the McCann family is concerned is not to your credit I am thinking.  Then again, it is Kate and Gerry McCann you implicitly malign ... so that makes it all right then?

There is absolutely no indication anywhere that either Leicestershire Police or the McCanns did not follow guidelines, unless you can provide a cite which states otherwise?

The FLO strategy should also address the exit strategy for the FLO. The exit strategy
should contain how long the FLO is expected to remain on the enquiry and how the
family will be managed thereafter.
Page 10
The SIO, FLC and FLO should have a de-brief at a suitable time for learning points
to be raised. Log books, rough books and statements will also be monitored by the
FLC to ensure standards are being maintained.

FLOs should only remain on an enquiry as long as is necessary for the objectives to be
completed. Should there be a need for future contact the officer can do this from their normal
place of work, where they can complete the log book and update the MIR. Should the family
contact them with a query or question it should be directed to the SIO and the family updated
accordingly, this also should be recorded in the log book, and the MIR updated.

6.0 FLO STRATEGY
In formulating the Family Liaison Strategy the SIO must aim to achieve a partnership
approach with the family within the investigation. The Strategy should be defined and
developed taking into consideration the needs of the family, the lines of enquiry and the
available intelligence.
This is a dynamic process that must be reviewed at regular intervals and in
consultation with the FLO

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....
