Scotland Yard announce that Maddie investigation team cut to four officers.

As Madeleines parents they will not be looking at this through policemen's eyes. i.e. as a 'case' which is being investigated.

Just like Kerry Needham they will never give up and until there is evidence that their child is dead - they will continue to hope their children may still be found alive.    I would have thought that anyone who had children themselves would have no problem in understanding that.

 

I suppose it's up to them if they want to throw more money at it, although their previous investigators seemed to be more of a nuisance than a help. Perhaps they'll manage to hire a reputable company this time round.

Innocent parents would never give up, I do agree.

you are of course assuming for a moment that they have disclosed everything...

There has been sufficient scrutiny of the Drs McCann carried out over the years to enable that assumption.  I take it you are not including Ben's mother in your statement?

Ben's mother was never a suspect in her son's disappeance. There was never any question of discrepancies in Ben's families statements and at no time did cadaver dogs alert to a dwelling or piece of clothing that any of Ben's family had worn.

That is the difference.

work for nothing though  if  you would get out of your denial    you would realise  11 millon  pounds wasted for nothing  it  said a normal missing childs case in the  uk only  2500 pounds is spent  why was 11 millon pounds spent on one  child? when it didnt even happen in the   uk?

So according to your logic SY should have known beforehand what the results of their enquiries into leads were going to be -  and should have known that it was all going to be a waste of police time and public money?

How any police force can be expected to know before investigating leads that they will result in nothing being found to help the investigation is incomprehensible to me.     How can you rule out a lead -  without first investigating it.

Back to front logic based purely on hindsight IMO. 

Your resentment that so much money has been spent on Madeleine - somewhat contradicts your claims to have her interests at heart.   

[colombosstogey]

Ah, more insults again.

Again par for your posts.

The search for Madeleine Mccann ?

It is patently obvious they have found nothing and are chasing tails.

What part of that don't you understand ?

So much time, NOTHING. The girl simply disappeared into the night.  I dont think there has been a case has there stranger taken, which hasnt been solved? 

11 million pounds. So much needed doing in our own country.

If they cant find her now they never will, its like she never existed.

There is non so blind who cannot see what is right in their face, it will never have a resolution. IF it was going too it would have by now with all the detectives on the case.

No disappeared without a trace....one of the great mysteries of this decade.

Whoever took her, managed to complete the crime of the century, BUT oddly enough never did it again.....usually when pedophiles get away with it they do it again.

All very odd, but sad too I would have hoped between the two countries they would have been able to confirm the perpetrators of this crime.

answering the original investigators questions would have been a good start

in my opinion there is only one mystery and that is where her remains lie in the Algarve

Ah ... the forty eight questions which were going to bust the case ... I cannot say any more about them than I already have.

So does that mean if the McCanns never give up searching for Madeleine you'll eventually have to accept that they did not hide her body?

[G-Unit]

I'll conclude that they also know that innocent parents never give up.

Did I accuse them of hiding her body?

[Alfred R Jones]

I figured that would be your reply - I've started a new thread on this subject, pending approval...

The four officers must be looking locally because the McCanns made this a global search they are known round the world, which they seem to enjoy.

Now regarding the search where will they search? it is a very large world to get lost/hidden/buried.
If paedophilia is a possibility then I don't fancy the chances of recovery alive. Some countries have this practice imbedded in their culture. Child brides etc.  Many middle eastern and African countries. That is a lot of searching.

I just wonder if they used investigators to 'search' on their behalf because they wanted to control any information which may implicate them in any way with their daughters disapearance... That was me thinking out loud.

Quite possibly MTI. For me it's laughable that the McCanns are trying to sell the idea that their PIs, who have no access to important databases and no power to force witnesses to answer questions, could solve a case that four years, almost eleven million pounds and 37 police officers and civilians couldn't.
