Releasing the file has certainly shown me that the investigation wasn't really an investigation, but to me it appears more an exercise in clearing Ocean Club of blame for the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Why should it be the OClubs fault,I could see that if a babysitting service was used and the babysitter  went out for a few minutes leaving the children unattended.

[Mr Gray]

In what way were the ocean club responsible? It was the parents 100% responsibility to look after their own children while they slept.

OC had various child minding services which the T9 refused to procure. And don't forget, the T9 had devised the plan to have their own childcare arrangements ie listening at the doors, long before they left the UK.

On this occasion I agree with you

[Miss Taken Identity]

Yes, the PJ should have abandoned any pretence of looking for the missing child or a potential abductor and just banged up the T9 that night and interrogated them til they cracked.  That would have been much better.   

Well that seems to work in the UK, USA and other EU countries.  Cracked? you mean told the truth, was it a missing child or an abducted child? was it throught a window or unlocked door

Calling the media before the police is never a great idea, they were on the defence from day 1.. why? no one arrested them or tortured them. The timeline shows that very clearly.

they checked every half hour? I do not believe that. No one had a phone or a watch then one had a watch...

Send me to Coventry you mean?  Just because you don't like being asked to back up statements such as "they called the media before the police?"  What bullies you are.

As per forum rules I have asked you for a cite.  What's pathetic about that?

Yes, we could just chat amongst ourselves about important issues and ignore the supporters sniping.

This is typical... Continually crying cite but failing to provide ine when asked ...of course when it's me... A moderator dives in immediately and insists on a cite

Is that all supporters or some supporters... Mods please note

[Venturi Swirl]

Better still, go and chat on a sceptic forum where us irritating supporters with our awkward questions are not allowed to post - it will be sheer bliss for you.   

[Venturi Swirl]

Why is asking for a cite that the parents called the media before they called the police considered "sniping"?   

[Wonderfulspam]

Deflection.  Put up or shut up.  We need a cite for "they called the media before they called the police".  Over to you.

They didn't call the police.
