... and the obviously deranged and psychic sightings could and probably were put on the back burner till more credible ones were checked out.
Is it your contention that following Mr Amaral's opinion that Madeleine McCann is dead ... any sighting of a child resembling her to the extent it might be her ... should be ignored?
Why else the derision from you and like minded people on reported sightings?
any normal person Or police officer would question a sighting given of the most famous missing girl in the world at the time whose face was on tv24/7 and their alledged abductor taking her to have a cappuccino inbroad daylight in a packed cafe, or taking her on a packed airplane or just strolling into the nearest newsagent!
not a single photo of any sighting has looked like her enough. the one pasted around early on of the girl in a supermarket was pathetic as her hair was down go her bottom!
fact is you publicise a child wordlwide you will get worldwide rubbish, but you cannot then criticise police for not chasing every single one, its ridiculous at best
the mccnns had millions of quid by then if they jhad a problem should have paid for their own investigations into "sightings"
But then we all know they considered almost none if them as important
oh yes, there was that one that said they saw Madeleine at the airport but they were lTe for their flight so didnt bother call a security guard and fhe other one, Madeleine was actually on the same plane but the witnesses excuse was pathetic for nog reporting it. What a shambles of themedia campaign, IMO it impeded and harmed the investigation
