At Last a Podcast from the Experts.

To be fair it’s taking them a while to do anything....and it appears they are getting another £300,000 funding. I’m sure the parents are delighted. Looking forward to their thank you post on their Facebook page.

To be fair Facebook has become so ....last year's news!
So many of friends and family can't be bothered with it any more.
Perhaps Madeleine's parents find a more private and more sincere way of expressing their gratitude.

Great news about the extra funding.
Thank you for that information.

My pleasure Erngath. Good new indeed...though not, I suspect to the parents of other ‘lost’ children.

I find it really creepy and odd how closely you seem to monitor their facebook page, seeing as how much contempt you have for them.  I never look at it so why do you?    I understand they won’t be thanking the police, but instead quivering in their boots as this £300k is the final push to get the last piece of the jigsaw before they get arrested and charged.

Both likes were from Cheeky Monkey.  How does that work then?

All missing children's cases should be kept open and investigated as and when evidence indicates it should be.
It's a pity that so much time elapsed between the abandonment of the investigation by the Portuguese police of Madeleine's disappearance and the reopening of the case by NSY..

[Vertigo Swirl]

Isn't the £300,000 to finance the investigation remit and to arrest and charge an abductor?

Have I got time to put the kettle on before they do? 

Naww, don’t be daft.  Didn’t you know that the Met have a secret agenda and are slowly, slowly building a case against the parents?  Just ask Pathfinder and Faithlilly if you don’t believe me...

If I was Madeleine’s parents I’d be furious that SY have had 8 years and around £13 million to resolve the case and, it would appear, have found nothing...... and all this time their daughter could have been suffering.

And the called the PJ incompetent !

I don't imagine they will be "furious" !
Goodness me in your last post you felt they should be indicating their gratitude for the further funding.
I really have no idea of how complicated their feelings must be.
A mixture of gratitude, hope, grief, worry.........but not fury.

Miranda?  Has the case moved to the US?

Witnesses have more obligations to be truthful than arguidos in Portugal, as Kate's testimony clearly shows.

Can witness statements be used in evidence against them in a court of law in Portugal?

[Vertigo Swirl]

If they are both wrong and the Met are building a case against an abductor, they don't seem to be in any hurry to do so IMO. If they're not building a case against either, then who are they building a case against.? Surely after £12 million they'll build a case against someone, or why bother in the first place. 

It's £12 million they could have spent on useless ferry contracts instead. 

Or half a Trump state visit.

Arguido is similar to Miranda and interview under caution... I thought you might understand Portuguese law..

And you have the second part back to front... Arguidos do not face a penalty for lying... Witnesses do... As amaral found out... Same as in the uk

[sadie]

Yes it does. "Despite what HE (Gerry) SAID in his previous statements, HE (Gerry) STATES NOW and with certainty, that he left with KATE by the rear door."

So which door was Gerry referring to?

In the early days (2005) people were calling the southern poolside  patio doors "The Front Door".  Others were calling the Northern wooden door "The Front Door".  Because of this anomaly, forums were getting in a terrible mess, confused.     I actually pointed this out on forum and the Northern wooden door became accepted as""The Front Door"


At that early  stage, which door do you think he was referring to as the rear door?

[Vertigo Swirl]

Definitely not Trump's state visit, he got to the UK, Madeleine didn't. We got a return on our money for that one.

That’s a matter of opinion...
