Met given 6 months and £2 million more to find Maddie. Is this the end?

[Montclair]

As I have said before, the ones who are most interested in seeing this investigation closed are Kate and Gerry McCann. They were so relieved when the case was shelved and their status as "arguidos" removed in 2008. When OG has eliminated all the possible and impossible suspects, who will be left?

Err....what is your evidence for this daft statement?

[Montclair]

Well they can spend money,but...

The haven't found Madeleine or how she disappeared from the apartment. 

How do you know what they have or haven't found? Don't you want an investigation to find out what happened to Madeleine? I do and I believe that OG are honest and not involved in any kind of cover up.

It's logical. Who else has a PR man to influence the press to print these stories and campaign for the closing of the investigation.

You are quite entitled to think this is an open and fair investigation Montclair.

I just don't believe it is the case.

Now if SY had said at the start that all possibilities would be investigated, then fair enough, I would have no problem, but they never have, and like many other people I don't believe this case will be solved.

I would like to be proved wrong.

That's the most deluded thing I've read all week (and I've been debating with some very deluded people elsewhere I can tell you!)  So - you think Clarrie is getting the press to write moany articles in the papers about the length and cost of the investigation...?  How utterly bizarre.  Don't you think a far better story would be: "McCanns ask PR man to ask us to call for case to be closed"? Now that WOULD be a far more interesting story (if it were true).  I suppose you believe Clarrie controls the media though.

It appears that the Facebook pages we (my other half) are connected to in the Algarve are abuzz with this story, and are solidly and virulently anti-McCann.

do you expect this to be before or after Corbyn's runaway election victory

I wouldn't have expected anything else, would you?

That is interesting, Shining, is the virulence directed at Madeleine McCann and her parents in Portuguese or is it in English?

[Brietta]

You should listen to what john OConnor has to say.  He's very supportive of the McCanns and thinks the investigation should continue...looks like the press have totally misrepresented what he had to say

Thanks for that Davel ... John O'Connor was very precise in what he had to say about the unique nature of Madeleine's case and why it is continuing and why it should continue until the Senior Officer is content all avenues have been exhausted.
One wonders why time after time we actually believe the rubbish written in the press ... it is reaching the stage that it is only going to be possible to accept what is said if as in the link you have posted we hear it directly from the horse's mouth.

[ShiningInLuz]

Just so we are correct, there is no virulence directed at Madeleine.

Of the stuff that is coming out against the parents, around half is English ex-pat and around half is Portuguese who speak decent English.

I find it difficult to differentiate one from the other.

Madeleine McCann's parents have an aim in life to find out what happened to their daughter and have her returned to the bosom of her family.

Interference, obstruction and thwarting of the parents in this aim ... is most definitely not in Madeleine's best interest.

If you cannot differentiate between a suspicion over a set of parents and their actions and behaviours (which is NOT a crime btw however much you try to make it sound like one) from the likely fate of an innocent toddler left to fend for herself, then nothng will help much I imagine

You will of course detail in due course, what actions by the Mccanns have been thwarted, what have they tried to do but were stopped from doing due to "virulence against a toddler"?

You may also as well say any policeman or force whose job it is to suspect people, investigate and solve a case who might think some of this just doesn't add up, a Madeleine h ater , to borrow the phrase from one or more of your more salubrious (not) compatriots

Agreed, and I think there is a good chance they may be well on the way to solving it.
