Journalist Sonia Poulton promises "The untold story of Madeleine McCann".

[Mr Gray]

Why would it be uppermost in your mind were you a sceptic?
How many credible award winning writer's have written books on the topic? vs how many nutters have written books on the topic?
What writers choose and choose not to write about is hardly relevant to this case surely?
I certainly don't envisage any author, award winning, credible or otherwise coming up with the "Excalibur moment" that the fuzz stand in awe of do you?
We have done this before; professional authors journalists whatever you wish to call them do it for the money or the potential of the money. Whether you like it or not or find it distasteful or not the name McCann coupled with a 7 year old photo of Madeleine sells copy.

and that's exactly why SP is doing it...

Is that a problem?

[Mr Gray]

Is that a problem?

not for me...best just to be honest and not try to pretend its anything else

Imagine the money you could make by putting forward damning evidence that the parents dunnit though - many sceptics believe that there IS damning evidence remember!   As a hypothetical "sceptic" It would perplex me that no investigative journo with impressive credentials would seem interested in reporting on the "scam of the century", only those who fancy themselves as investigative journos with impressive credentials... &%+((£

Perplexes me too. In 2007 I did expect there to be lots, though I didn't expect them to be published in the UK obviously.

The majority of the police files being in Portuguese is one obvious problem.

But the Danny Collins book is still being sold so it's clearly not impossible even in the UK.

(if you're careful)

What conclusions does Danny Collins arrive at in his book?

Abduction from outside the apartment.

Abduction from outside the apartment.

Not that the parents had anything to do with it then?

Not with the disappearance itself but it implies some 'embellishment' took place after it was discovered.

[Brietta]

Meanwhile, it diverts attention from another issue: what action, if any, is LP taking into the contents of the dossier? The threats, the stalking, the abusive photoshopped images, the unfounded allegations, the continued spreading of long-discounted myths, plus the hounding of anyone even vaguely associated with the family, and the concern that all it would take is one nutcase to actually take action - which was stated as being the motivation behind submitting the dossier in the first place...

Sonia Poulton doesn't seem to be concerned too much with the effects of trolling given her intention to 'unmask' the person who presented the dossier to the authorities.  What does she think the unfaithful will do with that information?

I think it is worth remembering; the person who handed in the dossier was reporting criminal activities and providing evidence to back up the complaint.

And what is Danny Collins' pedigree as a credible, investigative journalist, I wonder...?

Reporting criminal activity yet no one has faced any criminal charges ( confused face ).

If I was the lady with the chunky legs and a preference for cheap jewellery I don't think I'd be getting much sleep at the moment.
