I disagree - how have Team McCann helped in the search for their daughter by not being at work, and therefore not being able to meet their mortgage payments? They've hired private detectives to scour various places that could be of interest, it's not as if they're off to these haunts themselves.

If they couldn't afford the mortgage payments then they should have considered downsizing... seeing as though the child is nowhere to be found, it's not as if they need all those bedrooms any more.

Perhaps they were more focused on trying to find their child? They did, I believe, travel a lot to publicise the hunt, then they had to stay in Portugal because of the police.

And if Maddy is found and returned, won't they need the "all those" bedrooms then?

It's all so very easy, sitting there at your keyboard, isn't it?

Right from the start this couple have done nothing right, starting with leaving their kids alone. Its almost like they are trying to screw it up.

I'm a bit suprised by that response.

While I am no fan of Kate & Gerry McCann, for reasons I've given many times in this thread, at the end of the day Madeleine is still officially "missing". Whether she has been abducted, or has been killed, I cannot see how implying that she will never return home was remotely funny (and certainly not worthy of 3 "big grins").

It's the macabre, dark sense of humour that I possess I guess.

Yes, I'm officially a keyboard warrior

Well been an interesting week with some of the so called friends alledgedly wanting to change their statements. Now it has been reported albeit by the sun that between them kate and gerry mc'cann were absent in some form or another for a total of two hours on the night in question. It was the last bit that strikes more alarm as if between them between those hours of 19.30 and 22.00 one or the other were with the kids thats a very very small window of oppurtunity for an abduction and if the abductor was watching would he really have taken a chance with the parents coming and going so regular.

yeah, but everytime it's a slow news day, one of the papers seems to make something up - so I don't really have too much faith in anything that any of them say

Hence my caution but if it is confirmed by a reputable source then it raises some unpleasant questions.

Jane Tanner's interview with the BBC will be shown next Monday on Panorama at 9pm. She is the friend of the McCanns who claimed she saw a man carrying Madeleine away.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7098390.stm

One thing that puzzles me, is this:-
"Ms Tanner described how a friend came to her holiday apartment to tell her Madeleine had gone at about 10pm."

I was always under the impression that all the friends were still at the tappas bar when Kate McCann came back to say "They have taken her".

Private investigators searching for Madeleine say they are 100% certain that she is still alive, and that they are very, very close to finding the kidnapper.

Seems like a bit of a bold statement for anyone to make.

And the Sun say Maddie is dead (again). That certainly balance things out.

Edit:

Added: (again).
