Mark Williams-Thomas suggests Madeleine woke, wandered and was abducted.

[Mr Gray]

Irrelevant.

This is an open forum.

not really ...mercury made a statement... I asked her to clarify it...she obviously cannot

[Alice Purjorick]

Has he reached his elastic limit ?

There is definitely something Hookey about that.

I see that MWT thought that Pistorius's shooting and killing of his girlfriend was a tragic accident.

So four shots were an accident ?

..and bearing in mind her mother stated on the night of her death that her daughter was planning to end the 'relationship'.

So what does that say about the judgement of MWT ?

[Mr Gray]

There is definitely something Hookey about that.

it says more about you and members here...anyone who supports the mccanns will be ridiculed

In his position? Please give a cite for his CV because I have heard he was a Detective Constable (acting). I would like to check that out.

"Williams-Thomas served as a constable and family liaison officer with Surrey Police[5] from 1989 to 2000.[2] He was reportedly awarded several commendations".

Is a constable the same as a detective? Last link says detective

A detective customarily is in plain clothes. All ranks are the same whether uniform or plain clothes.
ie Detective Constable or Constable up to Detective Chief Superintendent or Chief Superintendent depending on the clobber they wear to work.

What exactly is your point Stephen?   grumbling about how much the fund spent on manning a switch board to find a missing child.

I don't post on this forum very often and so no I didn't know it was 13%  how exactly was that percentage arrived at?

The amount paid to PIs was 13 per cent  of all income  in their 2007/2008 transparent(just the once)  accounts

one could argue any and all other expenditure 2007 to 2014 was for the search but its not a given by any means especially seeing as all accounts published after the first year were hidden....it all depends on where the parameters of "search" reach to....and tbh they seem to be flexible infinately

The expenses can all be explained I guess one way or another  but I tell you that when GM says the vast majority of the (5m) fund was spent directly in search fees (thats an actual quote and on tv and citable) he was massaging the truth....

you admit you don't know how much has actually been spent on searching the criticise Gerry for being dishonest...you don't seem to know what you are talking about

The post from Mercury is quite clear cut, as are the figures.

Approx. 13% spent on 'searching'.

I hate to disappoint, but legal and 'personal' expenses do not include searching.
