Probably also deceased.

Her's a question asked many times.

Where has the money gone from the serialization of the mccann book in the Sun and any other stories where they may have been paid by the media ?

[Alfred R Jones]

Have you told them?

Why would I need to do that?  They don't behave like celebrities, they know they are no more of a celebrity than Kerry Needham or Sara Payne.

[jassi]

Hasn't this gone to the £75,000 that has be sequestered away into yet another fund?

[Carana]

Probably also deceased.

That's a possibility. But she still deserves to be found, don't you think?

[jassi]

Oh Yes

[Miss Taken Identity]

Fair point, back on ignore.

  Hey dude   Thanks!

Don't forget Oprah   

Oprah was an opportunity to publicise an age progressed image of Madeleine.

**snip
Kate McCann wiped away a tear as she was shown the computer-aided image of her daughter Madeleine as she might look now.

I don't know who that little girl is,' she admitted to U.S. chat show host Oprah Winfrey.

The picture, produced using computer-assisted technology, shows a smiling Madeleine wearing a pink band in her shoulder-length hair and a blue dress with frilly white collar.

The 'then' and 'now' images will be used on posters  -  under the headline 'Don't Give Up On Me'  -  in a fresh drive to find the child who vanished from the family's holiday apartment in the Algarve two years ago tomorrow.

Madeleine, then three years old, would be six later this month.

The 'age progression image' was unveiled ahead of Oprah Winfrey's interview with the McCanns to be broadcast in the U.S. on Monday.

The couple hope the interview, which will reach a huge global audience, coupled with the new picture and a Channel 4 documentary next week, may help end their torment.

I wonder if any American talk show host would interview them now ?

I was surprised to see only nine victims of press abuse are listed as supporters of The Hacked Off Campaign Ltd, to give it it's full name. It was incorporated in August 2012 (not 2011 as the website says, that was a different set-up connected to the Media Standards Trust charity. It campaigned for an inquiry, which it got)

The company is a private not-for profit organisation and seems to be funded by donations;

Hacked Off and its executive director, Professor Brian Cathcart, have been criticised for the lack of transparency over funding.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/may/11/hacked-off-donors-revealed

The campaign was criticised by The Register, which described it as a "secretive pressure group...of wealthy and powerful individuals and celebrities...which has successfully campaigned for state control of the media"

Oh dear

If the PM held the decision whether to provide further funding to the police operation being carried out to find my child I don't think I'd be accusing him of all colour of calumnies just at the moment.

So why do you think Gerry is challenging him about Leveson then?  secretly hoping Cameron closes down Op Grange?
