I would like to remind those new to our page that Gerry and Kate will only comment on the investigation to find Madeleine when and if any updates FROM THE POLICE warrant a statement.

Please allow the police to do their jobs and not speculate or fuel rumours. We will not answer questions related to unfounded and speculative press articles and we ask that you not post them on our page.

Thank you for understanding.

To those offended by my post... I posted this message originally on October 30th. This message is from Gerry and Kate. Gerry and Kate will not comment on press articles. Please keep in mind many things you read in the press are not based on facts. If I have offended anyone with the tone, I apologise. I hope you can understand the amount of damage the press have done in the search for Madeleine (and how frustrating that is to all of us working so hard to get her home). Thank you to all who continue to stand by us and who keep Madeleine in their hearts. ~FM Webmaster

What an interesting proposition. I wonder which press that is?

You do know that the McCanns, and indeed their friends, have received compensation from British newspapers, don't you?

[jassi]

I'm sure there will be others who have offended them and published unhelpful articles.

Oh yes ! as did Mr Murat.
New to this site but been round the block a few times

Astonishing.

What on earth are their lawyers thinking advising them to write this kind of thing - and right before the trial resumes as well.

[Redblossom]

So which press articles are they complaining about? All the ones since SY began their review?
Must admit they have been a shower of...but where are they getting their info or are they making it all up.....
And how are they harming the search?

Is suppose the papers have more money. Next target?

[Estuarine]

Which search would that be I wonder? The one the Portuguese police stopped when the case was archived which the Judge may believe was the only "official" search, or the search being carried out by McCann PI's?

Perhaps the volunteer 'looking' that the public have been exhorted to do .

Maybe just an exercise in raising dust? Of course a more reactionary (provocative?) question would be is there a search?

The only people conducting a physical search are those members of the public who spend their holidays scrutinizing other members of the public. Zero result to date.

I dont think that Facebook entry was made for any other reason than a reply to someone asking questions about the press stories, re burglars e.g. I didnt see the posts in question but its a fact that FB page/webmaster will not discuss anything, just gives orders. I dont think its anythng to do with the trial.


 


Did you see their "rules page" ?
