I'm not attached to the mccanns, metaphorically or otherwise, as some are.
It's about time money was spent on the Needhams case, though something tells me it's too late to achieve anything.
So to you as well, how long should this case continue with the mccanns with no results ?
Your claim that people are 'attached' to the McCanns is as silly as if I claimed your interest in this case is only because you are 'attached' to and worship Amaral. I'm sure you would think I was being very childish if I kept on making such an immature claim. And you would be right.
The Ben Needham case is over 20 years old. Ben was unsupervised when he disappeared. There is no evidence of an abduction. We only have the family's word for what happened. Therefore it's a mystery to me why you would have such a different opinion on one case as opposed to the other. Especially as Kerry Needham believes that Madeleine was abducted - surely you must have the same low opinion of her as you do of everyone who supports the case for abduction?
IMO it is precisely because of the UK investigation into Madeleine's disappearance that tax payers money has now been allocated to Ben's case. (£700,000?). If so then surely that is a good thing to have happened as a result of the present investigation?
I would be delighted if a full investigation into Ben Needhams disappearance was implemented, and just as in the McCann case - it wouldn't matter to me how much it cost or how long it took to come to a conclusion - whatever that conclusion proved to be.
I am also convinced that children who are abducted in the future will have a much better chance of be found as a result of the vast experience gained - and maybe even lessons learned - by our police force during the course of their investigations into the McCann case.
So worth every penny IMO.
