Does anyone think that there might be a Resolution this year?
Madeleine will be 16 years old, if she is still alive. Could this change things?
I think the one thing we can surmise in the absence of any information to the contrary is that there is still some mileage in the investigation into Madeleine's investigation.
There are also more and more areas of the world where indigenous security forces cannot operate without enormous risk and where it is next to impossible to apprehend suspected wrongdoers or repatriate their victims.
If Madeleine is known to be alive it could be a very convoluted process to get her back without compromising her safety, or even if it is possible to negotiate for her.
In too many of the countries to which I refer women of any age have no rights. Therefore if reaching her majority enabled Madeleine to exercise her rights ... that would I think, indicate that she was already in a country with laws which would enable her to be accessed lawfully could be applied.
I think her whereabouts are either known or strongly suspected but they just cannot get to her.
