Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

If thats the case Im sure the McCanns will not make that part public

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Every 1 is looking 2 point the finger when i dont think the police have done no where near enough 2 find maddie. I think is so sad if this was any of child of mine i would not have left that country with until she was found.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

But these people might......

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Possibly. However, I have a friend who was a researcher for BBC news, and apparently, the UK Police routinely provide them with copies of evidence in newsworthy case which isn't revealed. Maybe this is the same?

Apparently this is so that the BBC can help the Police control the flow of information to the public (which, as I am sure you can see, is important especially as there may be legal action involved). Not quite sure how that works though.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I've made this point before and may be missing something but am I the only one here who finds it strange that the McCanns should be given the police files? I mean if I were the victim of a serious crime which the police here decided they could no longer pursue without further evidence would they just give me their files so I could do so??

Surely there's a lot of private information (relating to the unfortunate Mr Murat for example) in those files which the McCanns and their team have no right to see... :confused:

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

I find it pretty strange too. I feel that the Portuguese police probably did so as they are fed up of the criticism they have received and thought - "you know what, here's the evidence we were working on, see if you can find Maddie"

If I was Murat and the McCanns made public any information about me, I'd take them to court. What is sad that although Murat has been found innocent I can see that he will always have a dark cloud hanging over him, whilst the McCanns will be in the headlines without ever admitting that they were more responsible than Murat ever was, in the disappearance of their daughter.

It wasn't Mr Murat that left their daughter alone in a apartment now was it?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

While there is no proof of a death in Maddie`s case i, for one, still believe that she is alive and well somewhere.
I`ve never given up hope and i really hope to god that she is found alive and well somewhere soon.
Sometimes, hope and belief are all we have.;)

If only this had been revealed at the time...how much other evidence that could have helped was suppressed by the Portuguese Police?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

The Dutch Police investigated it. The McCann's themselves have said that she would have referred to herself as 'Madeline' and not 'Maddy'. If you had been involved, would you be taking her out and about?

What about the questions Kate McCann refused to answer.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Exactly.... It's all very well saying they (Portuguese police) didnt do this or didnt do that, but I do find it strange that Team McCann as trying to paint a picture of an uncooperative police force, when they themselves failed to cooperate with quite a few police requests.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Such as incriminating themselves?

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Didn't they refuse to do the reconstruction.

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

BBC

"A reconstruction of the night Madeleine McCann disappeared will not happen after friends her parents dined with that evening declined to take part......

.....Spokesman Clarence Mitchell said the McCanns had not refused to go back but had been aware of their friends' views and were not now needed by the police."

Re: [MERGED] Madeleine McCann
 

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I stand corrected. Seems like its not only the police that were uncooperative, their close friends too. Funnily enough I never heard them branded as uncooperative with the police investigation.
