Also a short clip of Eddie barking by the hire car was shown in the Sky doc. “Searching For Madeleine”,  the video clip has Sun logos on it, do they own the copyright?  Maybe that’s the connection.

The video, when shown, is always quickly followed by the disclaimer that nothing of a forensic nature was found and the parents were cleared. Anything in that vein here ?

Only what Martin says on the video  words to the effect - "Keela has found blood but it is important to remember that she doesn't say who's blood it was".

Yes, pretty much the whole (sympathetic) article above it, in particular this bit

“The following summer the McCanns were cleared by investigators in Portugal who declared they had exhausted all avenues in the case”

Yes I think it is interesting, the Sun have chosen to put it there, I don't think they have chosen to do that since it originally appear 10 years ago.

Was it a case of Sun stroke?

[Erngath]

Yes it is true, thanks.

Indeed.
The comments and "theories" espoused in the early days  on public forums such  as Sky were horrendous.
Still lots of support for the family .

It is apparent that Scotland Yard still has work to do as far as investigating Madeleine's disappearance is concerned,
in my opinion they would not be asking for continued funding if they were ready to quit because they had reached the end of the line.

It seems that it is still possible that Madeleine's case is still capable of being resolved ~ and one can only hope that will be to Madeleine's benefit and that of her family.


Madeleine McCann probe police seek more cash
The Home Office is considering an application from Scotland Yard for extra funding to continue the hunt for the missing girl.

September 26 2018

 
Scotland Yard bosses have applied for more funding to continue the hunt for Madeleine McCann.

There was speculation over the future of the investigation when it emerged that funding would run out at the end of September.

But the Home Office has now confirmed that it is considering an application from the force for more cash.

In a blog published on Wednesday, it said: “We have received and are considering a request from the Metropolitan Police Service to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.

“The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding funding for Operation Grange.”

Madeleine was three when she was last seen on holiday with her parents in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007.

Scotland Yard launched its own investigation, Operation Grange, into her disappearance in 2013 after a Portuguese inquiry failed to make any headway.

UK detectives were granted an extra £150,000 in March to continue the probe, to cover until the end of September.

Operation Grange has cost £11.6 million so far.

“There has been media coverage of funding for Operation Grange, the Metropolitan Police Service’s (MPS) operation concerning the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Some of the recent coverage has suggested that funding for Operation Grange will expire on 30 September 2018, and that the MPS will be unable to continue the operation thereafter unless additional funds are provided.

We have received and are considering a request from the MPS to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.

Funding for Special Grant applications can be paid retrospectively for operational work already done in the same financial year. It is therefore incorrect to suggest that the MPS would have to discontinue its operational work after 30 September 2018 unless additional funds were provided in advance of this date.

The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding funding for Operation Grange.

Special Grant funding is usually available to police forces when they face significant or exceptional costs. The cost of Operation Grange – which, to date, is £11.6m – has been met through Special Grant funding.

As usual, full details of any Special Grant awards in 2018/19 will be published after the end of the financial year.”

Which would indicate Grange still has things to investigate

Which would indicate Grange still has things to investigate

It indicates that OG and hence SY want more money.
