Hope is only a dirty word among Sceptics.

That's because we know it doesn't alter events.
I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.

It's only a matter of time before some righteously indignant person full of faux outrage accuses me of hoping Madeleine suffered terribly at the hands of this man.   8(8-))

Gosh, aren't you clever.  Guess what?  I know it doesn't either.  It doesn't mean I can't hope that events turn out for the best.  What is the actual problem with that?

We can still hope that she didn't.

Of course you can if it makes you feel better.
Doesn't change what happened though.

Can I ask - have you never hoped for anything, ever in your life?  Does the phrase "I hope...." simply not exist in your verbal lexicon?

Wolters knows, and on 8th December he said;

Hans Christian Wolters told the BBC that while his team does not currently have enough evidence to charge Christian B, he is "very confident"...

Mr Wolters said: "I can't promise, I can't guarantee that we have enough to bring a charge but I'm very confident because what we have so far doesn't allow any other conclusion at all."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55224904

You've completely misunderstood what Wolters is saying..
The conclusion  he's referring  to is that CB murdered Maddie



 prosecutor who believes Madeleine McCann was killed by a German sex offender says the public would reach the same conclusion if they "knew the evidence we had".

Who said I thought it would?

Does this mean that you know what happened?  You seem to be very sure.

So in fact Wolters is saying hes very confident of bringing charges

Some people seem to hope that The McCanns killed Madeleine.  Now that's a strange one since they can't possibly know.

So it must be hope.

I think what they actually hope for is that the McCanns will be punished one way or the other, regardless of what actually happened to Madeleine.  They believe the McCanns are the most contemptible and terrible parents who got away with it and were rewarded for doing so, and they can't bear it so want them to suffer and to be punished.  Some people are very vindictive and emotionally invested in the fate of Kate and Gerry, IMO.
