Panorama Special on 10th Anniversary

It's noticeable how comments about 'cash rolling into the Fund' never include mention of any of the hundreds of thousands of £s which the McCanns could have put into their own private bank accounts - but chose to put into the fund instead.

The ability of some to totally ignore that massive elephant in the room is bizarre IMO.

The truth is of course, we do not know the actual full history of fees and monies donated.

Unless of course you know better.

Does it matter?

In my opinion it stems from Amaral's inability to understand that money donated in good will to a good cause could be used for anything other than self gain.
I think it is a measure of the man.

Ruibbish.

How much of the money has been spoent on searching ?

How much has been spent, or has yet to be spent on legal expenses, or other outgoings, such as travel expenses and hotel accomodation (5 star naturally).

He certainly puts up a lot of different options.

no disrespect to little maddie but   why all the focus on her why  did/does the media  go crazy about her and not other missing children/teenagers?   our australian media never mentions any other uk missing children only  maddie  all children are  special and valued   for  example why doesnt ben have  wall to wall articles  and   documentrys??

Indeed Carly, it seems all about Madeleine, or is it all about protecting her parents.

Very few other children get a look in, unless an attempt to compare is made, and these invariably fall short.

William Tyrell is Australian ... he has disappeared ... he is much loved and missed ... what please, has the campaign to find Madeleine McCann taken from the campaign to find William Tyrell or any other missing child?

im australian too our media  only  shares something if it is something inportant  about willam it  isnt in our faces like the  mcanns  seem to be in the   uk

The comparison may not lie in the efforts made by a missing child's parents to find him or her.  The comparison may lie in the initial policing effort during the golden hours.

The Tyrell family and all families of British missing children can rest easy in the safe knowledge that all that was humanly possible was done on the behalf of the missing by competent policing.

Madeleine McCann was written off by the Amaral investigation hours into her disappearance ... he proudly claims the fact in Ch1 in his book.

The families of most missing children do not have to conduct their own investigation because the police didn't.

Madeleine McCann's family did.

Newspapers choose to focus on Madeleine at every opportunity - because it increases their sales figures.  The end.

As you know only too well, OVERRIDING publicity in the McCann case.

[carlymichelle]

many australians believe  willams  bio parents /foster parents are involved with  him vanishing his parents havea media blackout in the media they are not  allowed on camera so  much for a loving  family  aye?? the police havent  ruled them out  either

It really is beyond belief that sweeping statements such as this are made. A simple google search demonstrates that the British police are not always 'competent'. In my opinion the repeated attacks by some on the Portuguese police are designed solely to discredit their investigation. No wonder members of the Met allegedly contributed to Amaral's defence fund; they know how hard the job is and how often the police are criticised.

Today in The Sun special pull out article by Summers and Swan (in paper).

Maybe anyone of you could scan it for the forum?

Thanks in advance.

There were seven arguidos in the case. All their status of arguido were lifted, according to Rowley. But two of them seems to be in a special status now, and maybe Summers and Swan explain it in The Sun. So I ask you again: maybe anyone of you could scan the article for the forum?
