SUPPORT FOR AMARAL

Despite the result of the McCann - v- Amaral bout that was decided in the Lisbon Court this week, there is still much support for this amiable detective and his theories.  One must realise that his conclusions were not just fanciful ideas, but were drawn from the results of the Police enquiries and evidence gleaned during the investigation of Madeleine's disappearance.  And, of course, his and his team's years of experience.


We believe Madeleine is dead, our family and friends believe Madeleine is dead and almost everyone we speak to, believes Madeleine is dead.  Any abductor, if ever there was one, has nothing whatsoever to gain by keeping her alive.   The enormous reward on offer has yet to be claimed which is another indication that despite such a large sum no one is able or prepared to come forward.  Such a sum would normally encourage someone to grass on their best friend, or even their family, but so far it has brought forward absolutely nothing.  Perhaps this indicates that the circle of people with the knowledge is either very small, or restricted to those who would have nought to gain by presenting the facts.


We wonder if the McCanns have yet learnt the lesson of leaving the children unattended.

MADDIE'S WORLD TOUR

I am a bank guard and on the CCTV I see Madeleine McCann so I just sit there and do sweet FA!

.

Now if it had been a Bank Robber or someone attacking a little old lady I would have donned my Bank Guard's hat and sprung into action! But as it was I have just become another has "seen".

.

Such is the background to the story in the headlines today!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are constantly amazed by the reactions of all those people who are "certain" that they have seen little Maddie in places all over the World but who just sit on the sidelines, do nothing, and then report the matter to the police at some later time. Surely one of these people must have the gumption to shout, grab the girl, lash out at the "abductors" and at least do something to try and resolve the situation. Unless the other person were the guilty party no-one should object to being approached, particularly as the whole sorry affair has had World Wide publicity.

.

A few shopkeepers in the Llandudno area have been asked what they would do if a person entered their shop with a child they thought was Maddie, and the general reply was that they would certainly take some positive action. Perhaps if others had done the same then, by now, the whole Maddie saga could well have been closed.

.

It is, however, unfortunate that there are thousands of little girls who could be mistaken for Madeleine and the sightings will no doubt continue for many months to come. Perhaps one of these "sightings" will remind the observer that there is still a massive reward and prompt some serious action.
