New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[jassi]

A million thanks for taking the time to point that out to me.  What WAS I thinking? You are of course right.  Thanks again Jassi, light of my life.

Indeed

A hard copy personal letter carries more weight and authority than a virtual email, I guess.

But an e-mail is traceable from the sender,post can get lost.

[Mr Gray]

I think the letter has been delayed in the post because of Covid.  My mail used to arrive early morning, but now the postman only shows up between 4 and 5pm. Then the time factor has to be allowed for when mail is posted from Germany...

That is a real possibility. I sent a letter from the UK to Austria recently and instead of taking 2 to 3 days it took about 3 weeks.

So can emails.  They can also be dumped to the trash bin and go unnoticed.

Don't bank on it.

Suit yourself.  So The McCanns won't need a Lawyer for quite some time to come.

Or did you miss the point of the conversation?

Its like panto season,yes we have,no you've not,yes we have.

Soon was the qualifying word, don't worry I'll not respond again.

Got me space in dear.

Maybe they discarded it as a hurtful and deeply upsetting letter from a crank.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Perhaps they meant spokesman employed in a paid capacity?

Looks like I was right about this (sorry Jassi, for any offence caused to your good self by repeating  this inappropriate comment)

“Following the statement, long-time spokesman Clarence Mitchell confirmed he no longer worked full-time for the couple, but said he did sometimes help them on a pro bono basis as required.

"I am still entirely supportive of the family and have only ever been supportive of them and will continue to do so," he said”.

[jassi]

Yes, but why would you unless you were expecting a reply ?
After non delivery of a number of emails, I set up an acknowledgement system, but not everyone does that

I think Anthro has perhaps given the explanation which I've experienced. Letters to and from Europe are not arriving as normal due to covid.

Seems the more plausible.

[faithlilly]

Okay.  Why do The McCanns need a Lawyer?

Now that’s the 64,000 dollar question.

Now that’s the 64,000 dollar question.

The McCanns haven't said they need a Lawyer.  So someone else will have to answer that.
