So what actual searching was there?

[insider]

Where would you suggest they should have been looking?

You didn't answer my question Ellie, why have the McCanns never searched for their missing child in Portugal since the day after she disappeared?

[Mr Gray]

They have searched and interviewed many locals over many years and provided many leads to the local police.

the mccanns have persuaded SY to investigate all leads and have persuaded the govt to spend 11 million funding it...that's far more impressive and effective to me

To what end.

They have found nothing. It could be said that they were on the wrong track.

[pegasus]

the idea the McCanns have not searched is ridiculous...they have organised the largest missing person search in history...they have actually done far more than the needhams if you want to be picky

There have certainly been some very thorough searches of lawyers' offices both in London and in Lisbon.

Indeed.

The files entrusted to Ricardo Paiva as head of the investigation and ignored ... were thoroughly searched and the information extrapolated.

Because there was nowhere to start from, and because they had no legal right to demand access to anywhere.

Any sighting even if true was reported after the event, and best left to The Police, especially if the child in question would not have been seen again in precisely the same place, or even in the vicinity.

That's the most limp excuse I've ever read Ellie.  You and I know the truth is somewhat different.  Had the McCanns engaged with the Portuguese authorities instead of antagonising them this case could have been solved eight years ago.

Isn't that what the parents of a missing child normally do?  ie Cooperate with police.

not when the police have decided they are guilty...which is what amaral has told us...the mccanns had already co operated ..answering hours of questions and telling the police what happenned

Kate was advised not to answer the questions.  Just as parents of missing children are advised not to search.

it does come under the heading of persuading others to search though, doesn't it?
