A new member's perception - but are these points true or false?

[stephen25000]

because they are Humanitarian and see injustices, quite probably.  They had taken the Madeleine case to heart, as many of us have. 

We have a lawyer friend, in Germany, who regularly used to take on pro Bono cases.  He is retired now.  He was not interested in publicity or overly in money, just in Justice and helping the abused.

He is Not a rich man, but he is a happy man. 

Well he certainly didn't work for Carter-Ruck.

As to Carter-Ruck, research their activities.

Cultish blindness indeed...the few real facts in this case are conveniently ignored

As you ignore the FACT, that none of this would have been necessary if the Mccanns had been responsible parents. >@@(*&)

[stephen25000]

Or at least gone back to Portugal and demonstrated their innocence.

Precisely, and kept to their word, they would only leave Portugal once Madeleine was found.

they escaped portugal as soon as they could!!!

[Mr Gray]

and the book serialization rights ?

 this as I understand is part of the million..do you have information otherwise

[jassi]

No. They left Portugal when it was no longer in their interest to stay.  They could have left much earlier

[Mr Gray]

 Do you know the real facts about that situation

[Mr Gray]

I will tell you the facts and you can decide what a reasonable person would do.

when they made the statement they would not leave Portugal as afr as they were concerned they were not suspects in maddies disappearance.

They were then made arguidos. The pj lied to them and told them that maddies dna and blood had been found in the hire car etc. the mccannns new this couldn't be true and I understand that Gerry thought the pj could have planted evidence. They realised that they could be arrested and held on remand for anything up to a year. They had to gat out fast..simple as that

They refuse to leave Praia da Luz while their precious daughter is still missing.

Asked how long they might stay there, he said: "Well, our kids don't start school for three years."'

(Unless the PJ investigate us, in which case we will abandon our daughter to her fate.)

 That was before they were made arguidos and facing a year in prison held on remand....

[Mr Gray]

would anyone else like to give a reason why the McCanns suddenly changed their mind

[Wonderfulspam]

That was before they were made arguidos and facing a year in prison held on remand....

And when a different investigator was put on the case they still apparently believed they were being stitched up, so they didn't return for a reconstruction & abandoned their daughter to her fate.

 So now you are moving to another question which has been answered many times before...the mccanns didn't refuse to return..they couldnt

[jassi]

I didn't know that. What prevented them from returning ?

Yes, their noble friends also abandoned her to her fate.
