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

The fact is posters have come to the conclusion that 13% is about an accurate percentage of money spent on the search for Madeleine,  when they have no idea about the cost of running the search for Madeleine fund.

I would say that it is a lot more than that,  but then again I have no experience in running such a fund.

Me neither Lace, but according to some anything which doesn't involve jetting off to Portugal or anywhere else every weekend and walking around 'searching' doesn't count.

The legal costs of making Madeleine a ward of court to eliminate problems if and when she was found is just one example of an action which IMO comes under the heading of 'searching'.  I'm sure there are many more - but they are not recognised by some sceptics who only have one fixed idea of what 'searching' means.

Don't be foolish.

the book did not hinder the 'search'.

No doubt it did,  they just couldn't prove it,  there is a difference.

Rubbish.

Rubbish.

What it was stated they COULD prove it?

Read the court judgement.

It would help.

[Mr Gray]

Lace is correct

It didn't say that.  It said the McCanns had not been able to prove that it had - so no-one knows whether it did or didn't.

That ruling did not surprise me at all, as right from the beginning I have queried how any damage caused by the book could possibly be quantified.

The mccanns and the majority of their supporters have claimed the book did.

It didn't.

Hello,   it was not proven that's all.

[stephen25000]

....because it could never be proven and the claim that it did was pure cobblers.
