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

[Alfred R Jones]

It was an example of somethng a bit worse than a "slur".. A cold and calculating and nasty comment by a Times or Telegraph journalist who saw someone's death as just another obstacle removed from the path of the Mccanns....particularly made worse because that policeman did nothing to incur the venom apart from just being a Portuguese policeman doing his job, is that a bit clearer?

No, could you please provide a cite?  It's the first I've heard of it.  Whose death was it?

[Alfred R Jones]

Are the Portuguese authorities really such sensitive little flowers that a few harsh words about their (lack of) performance in the British tabloids is enough to make them pick up their ball and take it home out of childish spite, even if it means one of the 21st Century's greatest mysteries remains unsolved? 

Don't answer that... &%+((£

The revelation that possible leads – many passed to Portuguese police by the McCanns' own private detectives – had apparently been ignored will add to the clamour.

Last week, details emerged of a series of possible sightings of Madeleine, who was just three when she vanished.

Guilhermino Encarnacao, who was in charge of the Policia Judiciaria in the Algarve, died two weeks ago from stomach cancer.

Mr Encarnacao was convinced Madeleine had died in her parents' apartment and was a major source of a series of off the record briefings to journalists against the McCanns.

WHere  is the evidence that SY and PJ have discarded any theory? Or is that wishful thnking? That is the crux.
The fact that a stranger abduction has been investigated is no testament to your assertion lol..sorry for late reply, I didn't read back far enough in the thread to spot it

“Neither her parents or any of the members of the group that were with her are either persons of interest or suspects”

Andy Redwood.

[Alice Purjorick]

but they were bumbling and incompetent...why do you think SY are there now

Where?
To labour a point SY have no jurisdiction in Portugal so why do you think they are there?
Except they are not "there" they are "here" and visit "there" every month approximatively.

“Neither her parents or any of the members of the group that were with her are either persons of interest or suspects”

Andy Redwood.

Context of that statement was the 38 people of interest SY had listed at a specific time
You could be right and the statement be a blanket one forever more but you don't know..and I'm not sure how SY know either that there is NO possibility of parental involvement...if they really did they would be lapse in not telling the world then the world might stop speculating

There is the technical possibility that information may have come to light since Andy Redwood said that which may have shifted the focus of the investigation.

I accept that.

But such conjecture can only remain precisely that in the absence of verifiable information confirming such a possibility.

Operation Conjecture is precisely what  this whole saga is, agreed.

I don't have any problem with people believing one thng or another, what gets my goat is people telling me what I should believe, (like what right do they have? none,) what a terrible person I must be if I don't blanketly believe the parents "because they are parents of a missing child" (as if that alone ever made one innocent per se) or some of their dunce friends,or usay the Portuguese police are corrupt anymore so than any other force, that Amaral is Satan incarnated, well, you get the drift....all loaded irrationally and disingenuously IMO...

Oh forgot to add that G..... is a liar, a fake and a fraud...oops

And not forgetting the parents behaviour and their nauseous tv interviews have done nothing to make me believe they are not holding back information
