@sadie.

You still haven't answered this question.

Oh come on she's answered one out of 49.....

Probably slipped her mind about posting.

SY are a police force whose job it is to catch criminals...are they allowed to offer a reward for a safe return or are they only able to offer rewards leading to arrests and convictions

Hello,hello, hello. What's all this then ?

[Air Con]

Still nothing from Sadie.

Wonder why?

[John]

To get back to the subject of the thread I find it quite puzzling why there is no reward on offer for the safe return of Madeleine.  A sceptic could be forgiven for thinking that her parents have given up any hope of finding her alive.

Not necessarily. They may have been advised to downplay any reward, perhaps even by the police.

madeleine disappaered as a result of a criminal act....her return would have to involve knowledge of her whereabouts and therefore those of the criminals involved...how can the reward be claimed without withholding knowledge of a criminal act

I don't think we know that for a fact - it is an assumption.

Wandered & fell in sewer
Removed by agreement.

Only  hypothetical, of course, but not criminal.

I agree, but you asked the question and I thought it only polite to reply.

Not sure that removal by agreement would be a crime in itself, though a cover-up would be.

I asked the question in the context of the thread
a cover up....lying to police......fraudulent fund..all criminal

therefore any return would involve knowledge of a crime.........SY could not sanction the return if it involved witholding information

That knowledge might only be second or even third hand - someone discovering something and reporting it. Not necessarily criminal in itself.
