He thinks MM died on 3rd May 2007. Others agree, although not with the date or the place. They are probably all correct. The disagreement is about who was involved and why. No-one knows the answer to that.

it took a while for that to catch on. Some still living that dream about MBM living with a childless couple with real life   pony, a  unicorn and on tap ice cream and candy .  AND she came to no harm according to K & G... Ouch!

Talking of trolls, why has this woman been locked up when so many McCann trolls have done similar or worse?

Katie Bell was described by a judge as a "coward"
An online troll who carried out a campaign of abuse against a grieving widow after breaching an order to stop has been jailed for 15 months.

Katie Bell, 27, was given a suspended jail sentence in 2021 for the abusive comments and threats directed at people on social media.

But despite the order, she resumed her behaviour months later.

Jailing her, Recorder Andrew Smith MBE described her as "cowardly", the Sheffield Star reported.

Bell, of Stradbroke Road, Sheffield, pleaded guilty to two breaches of a restraining order, breaching a suspended sentence order and a further charge of malicious communications on Twitter and Instagram.

Police appeal targeted


In a statement read out at Sheffield Crown Court, one of her victims detailed the distress Bell had subjected her to, including comments about her late husband.

Bell posted a number of comments on news articles paying tribute to the woman's husband following his sudden death, including one which said: "Serves him right".

The court was told this took place despite the suspended sentence and a restraining order.

The malicious communication offence related to a number of inflammatory comments she made on the social media pages of various news outlets and police forces, the court was told.

One such comment was made in response to an appeal to find a missing 15-year-old girl published by Merseyside Police in November 2022, under which Bell posted: "Serves her right if she is dead."

Recorder Smith said he did not think there was a risk of her going around "confronting anybody".

He added: "I don't think that's the sort of person you are. You are too cowardly for that, you just sit behind a computer and wind people up."

That's why she was locked up.

But she had to be Prosecuted in the first place.

Yes, she was locked up for continuing her campaign of trolling, most McCann trolls have never so much as received a slap on the wrist despite writing far worse than this woman over a far longer period of time.

Has it ever occured to you that despite the continual efforts of McCann supporters to bring these alleged trolls to the attention of the police very few have been found to have broken the law? Maybe it's your opinions which are wrong.

The McCanns have to do this and they obviously can't be bothered.  Three National Police Forces have said that The McCanns are not involved.  How many more do you want?

What “continual efforts” are you talking about?  Maybe you could explain what this particular troll did which was so much worse than what numerous trolls on twitter and FB and newspaper comments pages have been posting about the McCanns for years and years?  I suspect very strongly that you will be unable to.

Exactly.  That’s the difference.  The complaint has to come from those bring targeted.  The McCanns have been way too soft on their [ censored word ]s, or perhaps too overwhelmed by the hate to know where to begin.

I'd like for them to show their working. How they were able to reach that conclusion. But that's never going to happen.

Why bother?  These morons have no proof and never have had so they can't actually do any damage.

I agree that there's no proof against the McCanns.

Have you forgotten the dossier? Handed to the police by the McCann's little helpers and then to the media also.

We have a thread on that and various offshoots.  So if that's the best you can come up with you really are on a hiding to nothing.

Was that not a one off?  You talk about continual efforts, is a dossier handed in regularly do you know?
