“A Laughable Story”

[G-Unit]

I don't believe you have a cite for "Operation Grange was set up to help the McCanns" and that is why you have repeatedly ignored my request for one.

Downing Street said the Government was looking at how it could assist the couple.

The Prime Minister's spokesman said: “We are considering what they have said and seeing if there is anything more we can do. We are thinking about what we can do to help.”

And then the McCanns said......

“We would like to thank Mr Cameron and the Home Secretary for committing such a significant resource as the Metropolitan Police to begin this review process.”

What is called "The Disappearance of MM"?  I wasn't aware this case had an official, immutable title.

E mail and telephone remains the same,also still a disappearance and the PJ have the lead.

On 12 May 2011 the Met announced that, at the request of the Home Secretary, it had agreed to bring its particular expertise to the Madeleine McCann case.

The then Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, considered the request and took the decision that on balance it was the right thing to do. This was subject to funding being made available by the Home Office, as this case is beyond the Met’s jurisdiction.

Investigative review
The Met’s involvement, known as Operation Grange, is led by the Specialist Crime Command unit and involved, in the first instance, an ‘investigative review’.  This was a review of all of the investigations that had been previously conducted into the circumstances of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.

Ongoing investigation
In July 2013 the status of the Met’s enquiries changed to that of an investigation, working with the Portuguese authorities to pursue specific lines of enquiry.

The Portuguese authorities retain the lead and the Met continues to work in support of them.

The Home Office continues to fund Operation Grange.

excellent,,,a review into the disappearance of MM led to an investiagtion into her abduction...obviously the review concluded an abduction took place

I agree, Davel. How else would one explain Madeleine’s disappearance.

So no cite for Operation Grange being set up to help the McCanns then.

There is one credible lead of an unidentified man seen carrying a MM clone away. And that's your abductor

Thanks to Pathfinder and Barrier we now have irrefutable proof that the Review of Madeleine's case started in 2011 having reviewed all previous investigations resulted in becoming a full blown investigation in 2013.

Operation Grange only became an ongoing investigation in 2013 as a result of a complete and thorough investigation of all that preceded it.
Which included I believe re-interviewing material witnesses from the time such as Dr Totman and assault victims.

I really don't know where the erroneous idea came from that the review hadn't addressed all investigative protocols because it very obviously had done so which enabled progression to the next stage of procedure which became the still ongoing investigation which had been determined as stranger abduction.

The Portuguese review reached exactly the same conclusion ... stranger abduction.

abducted by her own father whilst dead..according to you.....barmy according to every sensible person..imo

If The supposed main suspect or anyone else for that matter were to own up and say ok I knocked a kid down with my car put her body in a bin and cause I was high on drugs I high tailed it away,hows it'd going to be proved otherwise,no sign of any break in at 5a nor any sign of an intruder.

The open window is sign of an intruder

I don't think there is anything "supposed" about him.

It makes my blood run cold to say it ... but Brueckner is very definitely the main suspect in Madeleine McCann's abduction.  Not mine or any other armchair detective's ... but the main suspect of investigators who it has become apparent, have been chasing him for years.
