Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

All the information, by the women, who saw the fellow, was given to the police, several months ago, but the police did not want to know, even physics, said they knew where she was, and the police said no, also a very good physic, used in America, and one used by the American police, stated, they wanted to help, but again the police said no, the way this case has been handled from day one, has been a disgrace, it was also claimed that the ' scruffy ' man, was seen walking down to the beach, with the girl, but again the police, said they prove this, this is why there has been so much heartache, and no we have another young girl gone missing, and again the police say that this is not connected, the whole affair, has been run, by a bunch of Amatuers.:mad:

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Physics :rofl:

That said, I agree with the last line :tu:

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

You'll have to be more specific... The entire post is one/last sentence.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I must be physic ;)

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

That's true. She told the police at the time, but she knows full well that they never acted upon it. They didn't even arrange for a photofit to be done. So why didn't she contact the McCann appeal directly with this "breakthrough" information?

I find it unbelievable that she waits until the private investigators question her about it, that she reveals that she came face to face with a possible suspect. You would have thought that when the McCanns became official suspects that it would have promped her to phone the appeal line with her information.

"As a massive new manhunt began last night a McCann family source said: "This is a stunning breakthrough."" ...a breakthrough that should have happened months ago if granny Cooper had thought to tell them. :rolleyes:

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Perhaps she trusted the police investigation to have been conducted in a thorough and professional manner and took it that they placed no value on her evidence. Nah your right that would be unbelievable.

Police to close Madeleine case.

Apparently the McCann's want the police files to be handed to their private investigators but I don't see how they can be given access to what are confidential documents since wouldn't any leaking of the information contained therein possibly prejudice a future trial...

(Explanation)

(I initially posted this as a new thread in an effort to avoid it getting sidetracked into yet more debate about the rights and wrongs of the case which has been done to death IMHO. Can we try to stick to the issue of whether or not the police files should be released to the McCann's please.... pretty please.......... ;) )

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

As requested :p: no they shouldn't be given any police files.

- The Madeleine inquiry has been shelved.

- The McCanns & Murat are no longer "arguidos" (formal suspects).

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Someone told me today that the fact that the McCanns were no longer 'formal suspects' "proves" (their word, not mine) that they had nothing to do with her dissapearance.

They weren't too impressed when I pointed out that:

1) all it actually meant was that the police there couldn't be bothered to pursue the case any more, which meant they had to officially change their status to that of not being a formal suspect, and

2) they did have something to do with her dissapearance, they left her on her own and went out for a nice tasty meal!!!

I find this line interesting:

I wonder if we'll ever know the truth? I suspect not, and I fear that Madeleine isn't going to turn up in any fit state to be able to tell us :(

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

No - it was never going to have a happy ending, was it?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Having young children myself I have never understood how 2 intelligent people could think it was in anyway OK to leave 3 toddlers alone in a strange apartment. Not that what happened to Madeleine would have crossed most people's minds but the inherent dangers of toddlers left alone in strange surroundings... the post could break records.

Having said that I do have sympathy for the McCanns, the punishment they've received and continue to receive far outweighs the mistakes they did make

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Were ever she is I just hope she isn't suffering :(

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Exactly.

Time & time again they come out with the same words, "we had nothing to do with the disappearance of Madeleine". Perhaps if they think that if they say it enough times, more people might believe them. :rolleyes:

It was interesting to see that on the BBC news a day or 2 ago, the reporter in Portugal said that some people there were calling for the McCanns to be charged with neglect or abandonment. However, he didn't say who these "people" were. Maybe it was just the general public, or perhaps the police were considering it?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

For me it's a no brainer they should be charged with some form of neglect and beofre people chirp in with the tired old "havn't they gone through enough" the answer is no and they wouldn't be going through it if they hadn't neglected the child in the first place. I have said it before and will repeat if this had been a single mum or an ordinary working class family social services would have been wetting themselves to make an example of the parents.
