Is the disappearance of MM connected to other reported crimes on Algarve?

So it looks as if it was all a lot of to do about nothing as No Madeleine materialised following publication of the photo.
What a surprise

What efforts if any  were made to trace the men and child in the photo?

None as far as I know.

Of course she didn't and nor would she
(a) if she wasn't looked for
(b) and they were part of an evacuation from an airport so were obviously due to board a flight to somewhere else

When did I mention this boy from Brazil making a presentation?  I posted about a BBC news item accompanied by the photograph of an unidentified child who looks very much like Madeleine McCann.

If you wish to add anything about a presentation to the discussion, it is your prerogative to do so.

Oh, so you meant the photograph wasn't a hoax? You just got all excited because it contained a child who, in your opinion, looked like Madeleine McCann? You think someone somewhere should have checked?

Yes I do.  What is your objection to looking for a missing child?

I don't have any objection to looking for a missing child, I just don't think scrutinising newspaper photographs is a sensible methodology.

also   i think some supporters use emotional langauge  IE missing  child  etc  maddie if alive isnt a missing  child she is nearly a  adult

[carlymichelle]

i dont think people should  be putting  random images on this forum that they think is maddie on this  forum

Unfortunately there are people who think that no-one matters except the McCanns. They think that if some over enthusiastic Madeleine hunter points at a child every policeman in the world should drop what they're doing and pounce on it, DNA testing kit in hand. That's my opinion anyway.

Which is quite probably off topic anyway.

Not to mention inaccurate and goading.

”Missing” is emotional language  now is it?  What then is “abandoned” or “neglected” or “tossed in a bin”?

So is discussing a photograph taken in Ibiza.

They shouldn't speculate on the internet or in the media. They should inform the authorities and leave it at that.
