I can understand that,
1) but had SY got as many clues on those cases as in the Madeleine case?
So many witnesses to strange sightings etc
2) Did the police in those cases behave in a similar manner to the way that the chief, Amaral, behaved ?
3) Did the country where the various children went missing have so many extraordinarily bizarre findings in the cases as in Portugal?
4) Did they have any thoughts about trafficking as seems to have been the case here? Investigating that would cost a fortune.
4) Did any of the other cases have an old woman come and give them a huge number of thought provoking opInions, and ensuing ideas, as happened in this case. Bringing them a completely fresh outlook on the case, the likes of which nobody had thought of before?
Think about it, Sunny
Sadie I have thought about it and have some answers.
1) There almost certainly wont have been as many strange sightings as I don't expect that any missing person has ever had the mass media coverage that Madeleine Mccann has.
2) Goncalo Amaral was only one policeman (there were many others working on the case at the time he was the "chief" and he was removed from the case in October 2007. The investigation continued on until July 2008. I believe that the replacement "chiefs" also suspected the McCanns.
3) I didn't say children I said missing family members. "Bizarre" is all in the eyes of the beholder IMO. I find the Caylee Anthony case findings bizarre and I believe that the police were correct in that instance.
4) I assume you are the "old woman" sadie. I doubt that many cases would have someone of your clear interest travel to another country more than once to try and piece together what they thought may have happened. That is down to media coverage again though. Most missing people do not get the mass exposure that Madeleine's case has. This from the first 12 hours as well. Whether Scotland Yard are taking your information seriously I have no idea as they haven't contacted me to tell me their views.
