all this happened because she was left alone while they went out to dinner with friends,a very expensive meal.The cost? the loss of their child. :-(

I have been waiting since early November for an answer from the Home Secretary (via my MP who HAS replied) confirming or denying that more £millions have been allocated to the investigation.

This after a question was asked in the Commons about helping Kerry Needham with her lone search for Ben.

Why so much assistance both on a Governmental and International level for one child when so many other families have received very little support? Why make Madeleine a 'ward of court'? Why engage Carter Ruck? How did they get alleged D notices and on what grounds? Why did the UK Forensic service claim a complete match and then downgrade their findings? Why then did they get shut down? Why didn't Kate McCann answer any of the questions put to her except one? How does one get a personal blessing from the Pope?

Just a few questions. Answers on a postcard please

:-(

Well.The Met police have to show that they are at least trying to get suspects for the £5 million they have got from the government to try and trace Maddie.

The McCanns have had more done for them than what the government have done for Ben Needham who has been missing 22 yrs now and still the government refuse to do anything for Kerrie in helping look for Ben.

Shame on them..

As heart rendering as it is.

If you place a child on the M25 alone then take full accountable responsibility that there is a 0.9% chance that something could go awfully wrong.

Its never smelled right this case from the word go.

I agree Stray and, as Sue says, the police files on the case are there for all to see.

I agree with sue, the only person my thoughts go out to is little maddie,
Bless her,
<3

maybe the answers are much closer to home :-( :-(

I agree with all you have said Sue. Just suppose for one moment the group of burglars that the Police have identified were operating in Praia da Luz at the time Madeleine went missing are still hanging around for the police to interview them.

Whatever has happened to Madeleine, she deserves to be either reunited with her family or laid to rest.

All her family, close and extended, have my deepest sympathy, they must be in torment not knowing what happened that night and subsequently .

Everyone who knows of this case would like to know what happened to Madeleine. There are just too many contradictory statements in the police files and please don't forget it was the UK police who first put forward the theory that she is no longer in this world.

Of course mistakes were made at the very start, not helped by any of the people on the group holiday who misled the investigators.

The evidence (not our suspicions) point in a different direction to the latest theory. All the police files are available to the public as are the translations where necessary from Portuguese.

It has been 'wrong' from day one and I hope that there is justice for Madeleine sooner rather than later.

I'd have answered before Ann, but I've been away. Having been in a situation, where my daughter slipped my hand, in the West End of London, when she was 4 years old, and was missing for just half an hour, I know that the little bits of news I got from the police, whilst they were looking for her was all welcome news, she was found by a couple, who took her to the shop, where, my daughter luckily enough, knew we were going to. Can't imagine the pain the McCann's go through every day since Madeleine went missing, but I hope this bit of news, even though it maybe unconnected to her disapearance, gives them hope, to finding out what happened to Madeleine. They have my comple sympathy.

I would think - although I'm no expert - that burglars burgle and kidnappers kidnap. Why would you break in and then kidnap a child?

Sadly no matter what happened that night I don't think Madeleine is still alive :-(

Unfortunately, so have I & most of my friends, both ex pat & Spanish.

I have thought the same, ISP

Anyone who has watched the program 'Judge Judy' will know she often makes the comment "If it doesn't sound right then it aint true"

There is something about this case that hasn't sounded right since day one.

Not sure what to think, except that the Portuguese police messed up right from the start!


Madeleine has been gone from her family longer than she was with them, if she is alive I dread to think of the confusion in her mind. It would be very hard for her to integrate into the family again and get into education in UK etc, poor child.
