In 2 - 3 weeks we will get the approval of funding for Operation Grange. I haven't had an interest in this case for all that long but even I see a pattern with the media stories.
http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=2784.msg487799#msg487799I think it is groundhog day in more than one way.
The general focus appears to be not on the police asking for money to continue what logically must therefore be an active investigation with more work still to be done but on the money which has been spent in allowing them to get to that stage.
I believe the small but vociferous force which purports to be all for Madeleine have had that small amount of success causing the gripe of cost for justice to be in the forefront. In my opinion ignoring the fact that the police are tasked with following evidence until there is none to follow.
One FOI request on top of another has pursued the investigation into this missing child right from inception in what I consider could be classed as an abuse of the system. As for example ... not so much on money in this one ... more in my opinion a transparent longing for the closure of Madeleine's case long before it is due ...
Question3. Who will make the final decision as to whether or not to close or 'shelve' the active investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
The MPS response to Q3:As in all major enquiries the decision to close the active phase of an investigation is taken by a senior officer in consultation with the relevant partners and stakeholders. It is then kept under review for new opportunities.

Groundhog day indeed.
