There is certainly feeling against the amount of money being spent on one missing child but not OG per se.
I've noticed plenty of criticism of OG on this forum, on Twitter and Facebook pages dedicated to the case. I've seen individual members of the team ridiculed, their methods likened to a "wild goose chase", suggestions that the whole case is one big excuse for a jolly in the sun etc etc etc. Am I wrong?
If the MccCanns hd sense that momentum was turning against them (and I seem to remember you are of the view that that was around the time of the crimewatch appeal with Andy Redwood, how many years ago?) then they have had ample time to devise a strategy to get the case shelved again, saying "enough is enough, we want to draw a line under it and get on with our lives, we thank the police for the efforts but we don't think anymore public money should be spent on searching for our daughter, much as it pains us to say so" - and you don't think this would gain a sympathetic ear from a large part of the population?
