The current £20,000 Reward is not for the safe return of Madeleine McCann.

[Eleanor]

Perhaps CrimeStoppers' agenda is to stop crime.

I think you might have got it.  This is also the agenda of The Police.

And quite frankly, anyone with knowledge of what happened to Madeleine shouldn't need rewarding.  Not disclosing this sort of information is a crime in itself, and rewarding it could be seen as compounding the felony.
What happens if this person later appears to have been involved and has been rewarded by The Police?  It could stink as coercion.

...and still no reward exists for the safe return of Madeleine.

No one actually involved in the crime was ever going to claim any reward.  Short of being immune from prosecution.  But then The PJ don't do deals.

Or do any of you think they might?

And...?

I thought the cadaver dogs and digs would give you a clue as to why no reward exists for her safe return. When Smithman is arrested misty can tell us all why he doesn't exist.

I'll have to wait for admin's permission first.

Well the abductor would never have claimed it, would he?
I ask myself "What normal person would require a reward to motivate him/herself to help find a missing child?"

[Eleanor]

No one was ever going to claim any Reward.  At least not after the first six months.  Too much culpability after that, if anyone who wasn't actually involved knew anything about it.

The £20,000 currently being made available by Crimestoppers isn't even for the safe return of Maddie so what's the point??

It seems to be a standard amount.

During the search for Alice Gross the reward for information was £20,000.


:: snip ::
There is a £20,000 reward in place for any information that helps police find Alice.

The Met are covering both options, Madeleine dead or alive, by wording their reward as they do. 

[Miss Taken Identity]

If no one came forward to claim over £1 million - what chance of 20 thousand.

 I do not understand people who cannot accept that the police have 'informers' and pay them for information.

There are also cases of police getting perpetrators to turn queens evidence for leniency, against other persons involved with a particular crime.

AND as we all know, some people will snitch rival gangs anonymously, to get them arrested and out of the way, so they can do business.

The wonderful world of crime fighting!

It appears that the £20,000 reward has been removed from both the Crimestoppers and the Metropolitan Police websites.

My thinking is the alledged loving childless couple don't need the money and neither do their family members....2.5.million and No one comes forward? mmm
