Is Crowdfunding the search for Madeleine a possibility?
« on: September 25, 2017, 02:01:34 PM »
We are likely to hear this week but if OG are no longer going to be funded by the HO and the McCanns, as claimed, will carry on the search for their daughter themselves, is Crowdfunding their search now an option ?

I think they would need a few wealthy benefactors but hope that won't be necessary.

Crowdfunding would certainly give a measure of the popularity and credibility of the McCanns among the general public.

I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.
I gather the facts, examine the clues... and before   you know it, the case is solved!"

Or maybe not -

OG have been pushed out by the Germans who have reserved all the deck chairs for the foreseeable future

Indeed wealthy benefactors would be good but the public could also play their part. If, as the supporter's claim, the McCanns still retain an amount of support and sympathy within the general public surely crowdfunding would be the ideal way to ensure the search continues. You'd contribute wouldn't you Misty ?

Don't imagine Richard Branson will be forthcoming. Too busy rebuilding his wine cellar and other bits of his property.

No, I did my bit. Donations I make now are for disaster relief appeals to benefit wider communities

But there's a little girl who is still missing. Would you really leave her to her fate for the want of a few pounds from each of the McCanns hundred of thousands of supporters? Imagine if each of the 500,000 of you who liked and supported the OFM Facebook page gave just £2. Imagine what a difference that would make.

I would most definitely purchase a no holds barred book ... I imagine quite a few more would ... a tour of the chat shows to promote such a book should raise a fair sum too.

The media are still interested, if the ten year coverage is anything to go by. 
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

A no-hold-barred book ? What would that consist of then ?

No Holds Barred Book?   Amaral or Kate?...Did Kate have parts of her book barred  why and by whom I have to wonder.

Are you agreeing with the sceptics that you don't believe Kate's Book told they whole truth and there is more?

Interesting...

I would imagine The Express Group are very interested.

Slagging of Sr Amaral, the PJ. the SC, all things south of the Minho River and west of Guadiana River just for kickers.

Oh indeed- still plenty of money to be made from this poor Childs fate- what ever that was /is.

Indeed; I am sure that will be figuring in the calculations given the circumstances and precedents.... 8(0(*
