That may be painful for the McCanns, but it wasn’t the public that left Maddie alone.

Fair comment methinks.  If I may add, not only entitled to their view but entitled to an explanation as to how the money was spent..

Indeed, and why this "review" excluded any investigation into Madeleine's parents? Plus why are they allowed to still promote 'crècheman" on their website when DCI Redwood ruled him out? 
Surely that is misleading to the public to continue to promote the "sketch", why have the Met not told them to remove it, isn't that 'harming' to the investigation & the search for Madeleine?

Presumably, because its all conjecture, Maymuse. Why should anyone take D.C.I Redwood's conclusion as being any more sacrosanct than that of the McCanns. After all, it is also D.C.I. Redwood's conclusion that Madeleine was probably kidnapped by a gang of petty, eastern European burglars. Isn't that also 'harming to the investigation & search for Madeleine.'

David Payne was also notably absent from the OG Crimewatch extravaganza. This would be the two-fold extravaganza (one production for UK, one production for Europe and of course no production for Portugal where the crime took place) with two weird/faux reconstructions which completely ignored the last supposedly 'independent witness' as to Madeleine's existence on 3rd May 2007.

 Realist,how do you  suppose  DCI Redwood  has  arrived at that conclusion when he  made a comment after the second Crimewatch programme that the thinking now was that Madeleine might not have left the apartment alive?
Does he  think we will swallow a   tale  of burglars taking a dead  child away with them ?

I don't know, Roidininki, all I can state is that I've never encountered such ambiguity from a member of the MPF (Metropolitan Police Force). I wouldn't mind betting that Terry Perkins, Kenny Collins et al wouldn't have objected to him heading up the Hatton Gdn. Safe Deposit burglary Task Force

That's a great deal of "why's" surrounding Madeleine's disappearance,(probably some missed too) 

But one of the main questions that I ask myself which just doesn't gel.. Why is it important for the McCanns (and their friends) to be unequivocally "believed"..? 


Just my thoughts
