A spokesman for the McCanns said: “Kate and Gerry remain incredibly grateful to the officers working on Operatin Grange and to the Met in general.

'Incredibly grateful to the officers and to the Met in general.'

What?

'incredibly grateful' even to the serving MET police officers who donated £1,000 to GA's lawyer's libel 'appeal fund' to enable him to challenge and overturn, a libel case, brought by them, personally, an 'outrageous' judgement, against him?

Still, as Ka£e has 'forgiven' the 'burglator' that 'took her daughter', i'm sure her benevolence will 'stretch', equally, to 'forgive' a few hundred serving 'rogue' MET police officers, who 'supported' GA in his libel 'appeal' against her.!

I'd be 'incredibly grateful' too if a team of cops ignored the red flags and incriminating evidence pointing to me and my husband, and steadfastly continued to look elsewhere!

Ist Baron Acton (John Dalberg-Acton) wrote it. He also wrote: "Universal History is..... not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul" which is very fitting also. winkwink

Update on the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann - 28th October 2015

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has today, 28 October announced the new structure and changes to the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The investigation into what happened to Madeleine continues but with a smaller team of officers. Officers investigating her disappearance have completed the huge task of bringing together and investigating the massive amount of information held by colleagues in Portugal, the United Kingdom investigation and the private investigators working on behalf of the McCann family.

While there remain lines of inquiry to follow, the vast majority of the work by Operation Grange has been completed

For an investigation of this size, the extraordinary circumstances of investigating a missing child four years later in another country, the vast wealth of information and theories, it was always going to be an immense task and required a full team of 29 staff working on it.

A team of four officers will continue to work solely on the Grange investigation, funded by the Home Office. The enquiry has not reached a conclusion, there are still focused lines of investigation to be pursued.

The officers will continue to be overseen by Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Wall, the current senior investigating officer, and sit within an existing major investigation team on the Homicide and Major Crime Command. This will give them access to officers within that team should they be required to support further operational activity.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, from the MPS said..

"This work has enabled us to better understand events in Praia da Luz the night Madeleine McCann went missing and ensure every possible measure is being taken to find out what happened to her."

"We still have very definite lines to pursue which is why we are keeping a dedicated team of officers working on the case. We have given this assurance to Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann."

"The Portuguese police remain the lead investigators and our team will continue to support their inquiry."

"Our decision and rationale has been discussed with Mr and Mrs McCann"

Mr and Mrs McCann said:

"We would like to thank all the staff from Operation Grange for the meticulous and painstaking work that they have carried out over the last four and a half years. The scale and difficulty of their task has never been in doubt"

"We are reassured that the investigation to find Madeleine has been significantly progressed and the MPS has a much clearer picture of the events in Praia da Luz leading up to Madeleine's abduction in 2007"

"Given that the review phase of the investigation is essentially completed, we fully understand the reasons why the team is being reduced"

"We would also like to thank the Home Office for continuing to support the investigation"

"Whilst we do not know what happened to Madeleine, we remain hopeful that she may still be found given the ongoing lines of enquiry "

Personally I'm looking forward to the 'forum meet' when this case is finally laid to rest. By which, of course, I mean solved, and the guilty proved and behind bars. When the Internet was young I had the privilege of attending a number of meets, when there was the pleasure of putting faces to names and new friendships forged. I wonder how many people would come along? Hopefully all the stalwarts will turn up, but how many fringe people and lurkers would want to be present, I wonder? More than tens, several hundred? A thousand of us? So many people have found a common purpose in getting justice for Madeleine McCann, who should right now be a teenage girl applying her eyeliner and taking selfies with her bessie mates, showing too much cleavage on Facebook and being told off by her parents. What happened to that poor kid??

The celebrations for achieving justice for her - finally - should be memorable.
