May 2018 – 11th Anniversary of Madeleine’s Abduction

It gets harder to know what to say or write as each anniversary of Madeleine’s abduction approaches then passes. Life is full and busy which helps but Madeleine is still missing and she is still dearly missed. Information continues to come in (incredible as it may seem after so long, although we are grateful for that) and work goes on. Perseverance and hope remain.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us and wish us, especially Madeleine, well. After eleven years such warmth and persisting solidarity is truly remarkable, and at the same time a real tonic and boost to our spirit. We couldn’t bear for Madeleine to be forgotten or to become just a ‘story’. She is a real person and still our ‘little girl’ and as we always have, we will endeavour to do whatever it takes to find her. Thank you so much for staying with us on this mission.

Kate and Gerry

Tracey's report in the Mirror.

A warm and grateful message.
The warmth and solidarity they speak of must help at this sad anniversary.

Why would they thank them when they know the Met are closing in and it's only a matter of a few more tick-tocks before they're nabbed?  That's the logic behind your constantly harping on about this non-issue and it's probbly time to give it a rest IMO.  The McCanns have thanked EVERYONE who has supported them, and that most certainly includes all the police, and public officials who have done everything they can to keep this case funded and active.

Given that Amaral received quite a large donation to his legal fund from MET officers, it would appear that not everyone at SY has the same confidence you speak of.

It has been claimed he did...I find it hard to beleve

The account showed it and a senior officer later confirmed it if I recall.  The former can be faked but not the latter.

A reminder to all members as we approach the bank holiday weekend.

Thank you for posting that misty, it's pretty minimal to say the least.

Yet again we have the 'abduction' narrative as if it was a foregone conclusion, undoubtedly intended for the benefit and consumption of their dwindling supporters.

lI didn't speak of any confidence.  I said that their message of thanks no doubt extends to EVERYONE who supports them, amongst whom will number SOME police officers and SOME government officials who have kept the investigation going.

In the situation in which they find themselves could they push anything else ?

I share your disbelief.

Dwindling everything - 11 years later.   Sooner or later Madeleine (if abducted) could have kids of her own to look after!

It's ultimately for Madeleine's benefit, keeping her profile in the public domain. Her parents are better-placed than the GBP to know what's happening in the current investigation so perhaps all those who doubt Kate & Gerry's integrity should bear that fact in mind.

[Brietta]

A service in support of Madeleine has taken place each year since her disappearance and last year Kate and Gerry gave an interview to mark their tenth year without her.

Since Madeleine's case was reopened in 2013 Kate and Gerry have taken a lower media profile.  I would be obliged if cites could be provided in support of the theme of the thread detailing the annual interview at this time each year.

[Brietta]

Please remember the thread topic is " No Interview This Anniversary ?"

It would be good if someone was able to pin point with a cite whether or not other years had an "anniversary interview".

If they did not ... why would this year be extraordinary in not having one?

[Brietta]

Faith. While we are on the subject of cites, have you found one yet which confirms annual interviews each anniversary with the exception of the tenth?
I have requested one two or three times, you must have missed them.
