If they don’t know if it is one or two leads then the resounding answer has to be yes

Oh, I think Scotland Yard know precisely what they are about ... and as Misty has posted, there appears to be a bit of interest being shown by someone anxiously trying to find out exactly what that might be.

The mind boggles.

I must admit to bemusement that it is being spun that Scotland Yard might be incapable of following more than one lead at a time or that one lead might point to another.
They would be unable to justify continuation of funding to the Home Office without having a sustainable case.

It's pretty obvious that something is going on.

From Brietta's link

Maddie's parents, however, had been told weeks ago by police that they expected the grant to be made.

So the McCanns were not on tenterhooks waiting to hear about funding. They had been told weeks ago.  Therefore, I believe I was right about the timing of the release of the news regarding funding being deliberately released with massive brexit news so as to get less coverage.  Next question is why

It says they expected the grant to be made.... Nothing certain

On other news - according to this report, Portugal is the 4th safest country in the world - amazing considering how useless the PJ are you'd think it would be a crime paradise

Rereading this there’s something that is strange about this story.

In May the McCanns, so we are told, were asked by SY not to do any interviews around the 11th anniversay as it may jeopardise ongoing investigations. So who is talking to the newspapers now ? Surely SY, after silencing the parents would not release details, however obscure, of the investigation, the HO likewise but that only leaves the parents, and we know they were asked by SY not to divulge investigation details to the public.

Questions, questions !!
