A GENTLE REMINDER

Reposted from 2010

HOW LONG MORE ?

We watched the Crimewatch program on BBC TV last night (28/11/13) and were quite surprised at an obvious faux pas by the Police Representative on the Madeleine McCann case!

When talking about the future collaboration between the Met and the Portuguese Police he commented that it would be a great help to solving the Madeleine case in the WEEKS AND MONTHS TO COME!  What a fantastic (not) display of confidence, and no doubt a real boost for the McCann parents, knowing that they are unlikely to see closure for some time to come.

Unlike Queen Victoria, we are sure that many people are "Not amused!", particularly at the enormous expense the investigation is racking up.  Our guess is that the weekly cost must be between 50 and £100,000, if not more, and looks like continuing for ever if recent and current progress is an indication of the efforts so far.

If everyone were honest with their opinion, we don't think anyone (apart from the McCanns) are expecting to find Madeleine either dead or alive.

The parents are at fault - the end!

AND SO IT CONTINUES

Whatever the outcome of this enormously expensive exercise, let us not forget,

KATE AND GERRY McCANN LEFT THEIR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN OPEN TO DANGER.

THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO HAVE MADELEINE RETURNED TO THEM SHOULD SHE BE FOUND ALIVE.

THERE SHOULD ALSO BE A DECISIVE INVESTIGATION BY THE SOCIAL SERVICES AS TO WHETHER THEY ARE FIT AND PROPER PARENTS FOR THE TWINS.

It is also fairly obvious from the lack of results from two National Police Forces that the chance of finding the alleged abductor is now less than minus 100% !   Any one connected with the child's disappearance will now be long gone and made plenty of plans as to how evade the long arm of the law.  It is also very unlikely that the child would have been retained, and will have been passed on or otherwise secreted. 

Where are the Tapas group in all of this?    We have not heard a peep out of them since that May day in 2007.   Are they immune to what is going on?   Or do they just prefer to keep stum?

We continue to observe and wait. . . . . . 

ALL QUIET ON THE LUZ FRONT

Isn't it amazing?  2 weeks ago the media was absolutely full of stories (for stories they must be) of the progress that was being made in the search for Madeleine McCann's alleged abductor(s).  
The Police (UK) were boasting about the number and quality of leads they had and the vast number of individuals who they wished to interview.   Then came the revelation that their number one suspect, an ex employee of the Holiday Complex, had been killed in a "freak" accident some time ago.   That would have been very convenient had the Police had sufficient proof to establish that he was, in fact, the abductor.  It would have been "case closed" and lets get back to Blighty.

It seems that such was not the case and the "search" goes on for "them".   We can never forget those words uttered by Kate McCann on that evening; "THEY have taken her!"  Who?  Did Kate or Gerry actually KNOW who THEY were?  Had something been arranged that the others of the Tapas group were unaware?   Was the cry the opening line of some pre-arranged enactment?  As things stand we will never know, but certainly amongst those following the events as they unfold, many still have very strong suspicions about what happened; and they are prepared to vociferously discuss and voice their feelings and ideas.

We do not think there have been many occasions in past years where the public have been so interested about an event, and have put themselves so solidly on one side or other of the theorists.  There must be an end somewhere, but it would seem from the activity so far, that the end is far from being just round the corner.

p.s.  Be prepared for the publicity machine being fired up just around the lead up to Christmas!
