The Find Madeleine website, Tannerman & the e-fits

[Mr Gray]

The  'situation'  this thread was created to discuss is that of the McCanns choosing not to show the Smithman  e fits on their official website

It is only  the McCanns, themselves,  who can shed light on that   

 If only the McCanns can answer the question then whats the point of asking the question on this forum

That's quite a good point

I suppose if the McCanns were more open and transparent  there would be much less speculation  on the case

I have often wondered why they don't simply  address the issues they are clearly aware are being speculated  about  ...  they have frequently bemoaned how harmful they feel speculation is ,  afterall

Yet they stay silent and offer no explanations that would end  it

Very very true.

Interesting statement.

The McCanns ccould scarcely have been more open and transparent about drugs.

Look where that got them.

Accused of sedating the children.

They have rather accused an unidentified perpetrator to have sedated the kids, but never were interested in the "how"...

McCanns, open and transparent in the same sentence? >@@(*&)

Don't want to take the thread off-topic.

But if they accused anyone (named) of drugging the children, I must have missed that ...

That was Mr Mitchell's job. I wonder whether he still works for them, on which basis and who pays him (for doing almost nothing).

Get off your high horses, I said "unidentified" !

The proposition was that if the McCanns were more open and transparent, there would be fewer questions.

They were open and transparent about Madeleine crying and the witness in closest proximity to apartment 5a, interviewed months after th e crime (an askew sense of priorities), ostensibly about a crime of which she, herself, was a victim, (apparently) churns out sorts of stuff about Madeleine crying for hours.

The original proposition was that if the McCanns had been more open and transparent, there would be less suspicion.

I struggle to see the evidence that supports the proposition ...

Do you agree there has been a reputation management campaign spreading over many years, ferryman?

Surely the only people the McCanns have to answer to, and be transparent to, are the Police in Portugal & the UK.
It always amazes me why people on the internet think that they have the right to demand answers.

No ...

You're a perfect illustration of its success !
