As we approach 2023, have we learned anything new?

[Admin]

Here we are on Christmas Eve as we approach the end of yet another year.

The topic that has led the way throughout the year in terms of the sheer volume of posts and the ability to stimulate debate is again the Madeline McCann case.

As such, I felt that the question has to be asked as to what if anything we have learned about the case in the past year?

Madeline disappeared from her parents holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on the 3 May 2007. Her whereabouts and what happened to her are as much of a mystery as they were almost 16 years ago.

To Sadie they're not... you just ask her!

On second thoughts better not.

This year we've learned that the concrete evidence against the new prime suspect, isn't sufficient to bring charges against him anytime in the foreseeable future.
Some of us already knew as much.
Others are still heavily in denial.

One thing we've just learned is that despite being the most written about little girl on the planet and certainly on this forum some people still can't spell her name right.

And that is really sad.

As far as Madeleine is concerned I think current knowledge has heightened the despair of the missed chances which dictated the conduct of the investigation into her disappearance from day one.

The case which the PJ tried to construct against her parents has led to the better understanding for many of the pitfalls of leaping to judgement without understanding facts and evidence.

This year we also learned that there wasn't any trace of Maddie in Brueckner's campervan, although some of us could have told you that already, and that the McCann's lost their case at the ECHR.

Glad to be of service. Merry Christianmas.

Apologies for the misspelling, down to my autocorrect unfortunately.

I have followed this case off and on since 2007 and the longer it goes on the deeper the mystery goes imo.

In all sincerity, my belief is that we just don't know enough about the night that Madeleine disappeared. There are still just too many loose ends, too many conflicting versions of events, too many unknowns.

We have two choices imo. We either agree with you, that we don't know enough to decide or we accept what the McCanns and SY say and go along with the stranger abduction.

The Germans seemed very confident that they were on the right track, but so far have not been able to bring charges. Imo the longer that continues the less likely it becomes.

At least the pursuit of Amaral by the McCanns seems to be finally at an end and he can relax now.

Now we're into 2023, we've learned that after 15 years the McCanns no longer value their supporters enough to post a simple thankyou message on their Web page.

Perhaps they've finally realised they were flogging a dead horse that would have been better ignored.

Has there been any further change at the ECHR ?

They had 3 months to appeal, can't remember the exact date of the judgement though. A source said, at the time of the verdict, that they were considering their options.
I can't imagine them declining to appeal.
