It never was the 'responsibility of the victims to do a police job', it was something they chose to do. Consequently it's legitimate to wonder why they chose to publicise certain leads and not others.

Why did they "choose" to keep on investigating their daughter's disappearance in the hope of finding her ... for the very simple reason that no-one else was.
Not the people with the contacts the power and the duty ... only Madeleine's family and well wishers.

In my opinion utterly indefensible conduct by the forces of law and order.
"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"....

It sure doesn't even get close to explaining the opprobrium directed to those doing something positive for Madeleine while ignoring the total lack of action by the forces of law and order in making any attempt to locate her or find out what happened to her.
To the extent of ignoring and filing every item of information sent to them since the archiving of the case in 2008 until it was discovered during the libel trial in 2010.

Snip
Copies of the files would now be passed to the McCanns to be followed up by private investigators hired to search for their daughter.

"But I am angry because it is the Portuguese investigative police who should be doing this job,” Mrs Duarte, added.

"They have the power and capability to do it. It is they who should be doing it not and not my clients."

Why didn't that exposure of years of incompetence and neglect not cause as much as a ripple in fora land?

Out of interest Brietta, how many times in the last ten years have any of Maddie's family gone to Portugal to 'look' for her?

Five or more
Less than five
Zero

They can't, and never could beyond those first few hours.  And it shouldn't be encouraged.  Any Police Officer will tell you that.

I suppose they could have visited those lawless villages that Edgar identified.

Rubbish!!!

That's only an excuse and a pretty thin one at that.  They got on with their lives after making Maddie a promise but then they have promised lots of things but delivered nothing imho.

Why do Police Officers tell parents of missing children to stay at home?  I suppose they've got it wrong, Have they?

As it is, the parents have no right of entry and no right to question anyone, so all they can do is look in drains and wells and bins, in the hope of finding a dead body.

As for now, they can't even assume that it is their daughter without a DNA match, which they themselves can't get.

So, sad to say, it is you who is talking rubbish.  Without a scrap of logic to your comments.

No, I wouldn't.  They have other means available to them, apart from physically crawling around.  Even you should know that by now.
Or would you prefer a bit more wailing and breast beating in public?  Fat lot of good that would do.
