Now that we have confirmation that if the McCanns loose their appeal against the appeal court judgement the costs will all be paid from the fund set up to find their daughter I think it may be interesting to revisit this topic.
As the amount in the fund at the last accounts was around £750, 000 and we are being told by the tabloids that it is now somewhere around the £480,000 it would appear that a large chunk of money has already left the fund and as we know that this is not funding 'the search' at the moment it seems logical to presume that the money has gone towards expenses connected to the court case.
We are now therefore in the situation that if OG is wound down there will be very little, if any, money left in the fund for the McCanns to sustain a private investigation. Outwith concerns of whether the public's donations where spent appropriately and in the spirit of those donations, the McCanns will now have to raise a lot of money if they wish to conduct a new private investigation and with the goodwill the public felt towards them in 2007, when most of the original fund money was raised, somewhat disapated is it now time for supporters to do their bit and find ways to raise the much needed money ?
