Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

[faithlilly]

Lost their nerve to do what?

To tell the whole story and let the viewer decide.

[Vertigo Swirl]

The producers seem to have lost their nerve half way through.

  Or come to their senses, depending on your point of view.

To tell the whole story and let the viewer decide.

Guess some other network/ production team/ will do that at some time?
Whatever the " whole story" is.

How many participants in that Netflix production had spent time with the McCanns and had never doubted that Madeleine was abducted?

I don't see any problem with it.. Two very distraught parents

I find everything I have heard about the absolute distress of Madeleine's parents when they discovered she was gone totally heartrending.

It takes a certain kind of person to satirise the effects of that utter despair for their own purposes.

Using a documentary as a weapon to purposely belittle grieving parents as Amaral's documentary did ... set the tone for much of the internet abuse noted in the Netflix documentary which continues vitriolically till the present day.

Can you accept that  as the leading detective at the time of Madeleine's disappearance, his "theory" might just have more impact than any of ours??

The McCanns would agree. That's why they expended so much Fund money attempting to silence him.

In my opinion the Netflix documentary may have finally silenced him.

Didn't he not do well!!

After virtually every crime the perpetrators family and friends say they had no idea they were planning or capable of x,y or z.

Interesting though that you bring up people who thought the McCanns innocent. Wasn’t Brian Kennedy one of them....a man with such appalling lack of judgement that he employed not one but two PI firms who turned out to be out and out crooks.

Where do you get these ideas from?  “Virtually every crime?”. Are you sure?

I believe he and several other stalwarts of the case where invited on to a prime time programme over the weekend.

Bruce Forsyth?

Bruce Forsyth?

Now that would make for interesting, if rather grisly, viewing.

Alas I believe you hope in vain Erngath. It would appear that Amaral hasn’t been cowed but is as vocal as ever.

He’s got to earn a living somehow.  Do you have a cite for his latest mouthings off?

Excellent!
I really hope he is.

Will if the parents are so willing to hand over great wodges of money to him he’d be a fool not to encourage them.
