The current £20,000 Reward is not for the safe return of Madeleine McCann.

[John]

The UK CrimeStoppers organisation is currently offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and prosecution of the person or persons responsible for the abduction of Madeleine McCann from Praia da Luz.

Surprising isn't it that there is no reward currently in place for the Safe Return Of Madeleine McCann!

I must admit I never noticed that before which makes what is happening all the more suspicious imo.  Why has the Fund not offered a reward for her safe return, wasn't that the whole point in it being set up by Kennedy?

PS CH 4 is currently showcasing PdL.

You will need to address that question to the McCanns.

Crimestoppers doesn't even mention the case on their website.

The exact wording also changes depending on the article you read.

There is a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for Madeleine's disappearance.

Is how the Guardian tells it.

Very mature.

In case you've missed it this is the actual remit of the Operation Grange investigation.

Op Grange Remit

The support and expertise proffered by the Commissioner will be provided by the Homicide & Serious Crime Command - SCD1. 

The activity, in the first instance, will be that of an ‘investigative review’.  This will entail a review of the whole of the investigation(s) which have been conducted in to the circumstances of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.

And which is more recent?

And which is the official remit of the operation?

Why don't SY in the official wording of their reward simply replace the word "abduction" with the word "disappearance"?
It would not offend anyone and it would obviously still include abduction and it would remove what looks to all the world like an assumption of a particular type of solution which SY cannot possibly know is correct yet.

[John]

The point being that there is no incentive to give any information which could lead to a live Madeleine  being rescued or returned to her family.  This investigation is only interested in finding someone to prosecute so that they can justify the almost £7 million cost of the review to date.  I find the whole thing quite appalling given the money which Operation Grange has spent.

Another good point Pegasus, nobody except those involved in Madeleine's disappearance (assuming she didn't fall down a manhole of course) can ever know what befell her.  Disappearance is the term that should be used imo.

IMO the reward is not addressed to the perp it is addressed IMO to peeps who might have seen something which they did not report because it seemed likely irrelevant. A reward might tip the balance and encourage them to come forward.
Phrasing the reward like it is now with a built-in premature psychic assumption of the exact nature of the solution is unnecessarily restrictive IMO.

Agreed, its like putting the cart before the horse.  If it was my child the priority would be her safe return, prosecutions should be a secondary issue.

The reward should be for information leading to the safe return of Madeleine imo. Who gives a damn about prosecutions as long as the child is rescued.

The McCanns have always been wildly litigious.

Example - turning up for their libel trial uncalled and unrequested, but not turning up for the dig.
