Yes I accept that, but what's the problem? Is is something suspicious or sinister to want to hire your own detectives? Provided the McCanns were transparent about use of funds - and speaking about private investigators at this point shows their transparency - what's the matter?
The point I was making is that the McCanns had decided to run a parallel investigation within days of claiming their three year old had been abducted from her bed
When the news first broke I, and everyone else, were desperately hoping the little girl would be found, perhaps injured or trapped somewhere
As the days went on though, and the frantic searches proved fruitless, the awful dread that the next news would be of a little body having been found inevitably came
What I
never thought, though, in those early days ( and I'm pretty sure not many other people did either ) was that what was needed was a Europe wide investigation ... even before the
immediate vicinity had been thoroughly searched and all local enquiries exhausted
But the McCanns
did plan ahead for just that sort of far reaching investigation/campaign ... and they did so within days ( almost as if they were certain the early investigation would be unsuccessful )
Don't you find that questionable ?
