im surprised posters dont realise that amaral telling everyone maddie is dead and the parents know it doesnt just damage the search for maddie,,,...it ends it

Did it end it ? Have sightings continued to come in ? Are two police forces, as we speak, continuing the search for Madeleine?

I think Kate McCann managed that all on her own the moment she answered "no comment"

The investigation in Portugal is ongoing unless you can prove otherwise ( I’m afraid if you behave in any way like you did while desperately avoiding the request for a ECHR case number etc I’m going to be disappointed).

"Is the public entitled to have access

Hmm yeah moral high ground dilemma indeed dear Alice!

Except the Fund is not a charity, nor could it have set up as one, so irrelevant.

The thing with that is - why didnt it start off as a charity .

Why was it made a mccann fund in a week - of maddie going missing

How did they know maddie - was not going to be found.

What sort of a charity should the McCanns have been busy setting up in the weeks following Madeleine’s disappearance?  To benefit which members of the public?

Only the parents can tell us that - and they're not saying.

This is such crap.  Why does setting up a fund for Madeleine = knowing she’s not going to be found, would you or Kizzy kindly explain the logic?

It was done within a week as a fund -  that only the mccanns etc controlled.

Why did they do that....maddie could have been found at anytime.
