There is no knowing what the future holds, from one day to the next it is hoped that some miracle might occur by way of someone in an official capacity speaking out in support of little Madeleine McCann.  Not just a voice but someone who can make a difference, someone who can lead a new initiative in defiance of the common place narrative we've grown to know and despise.

As years go by, the likelihood of this ever happening appears remote in the extreme.  This unfortunate reality will only make CMOMM and the MMRG more determined to continue it's voyage of discovery and it's endeavours to get closer to the truth.  Members come and members go, some faithful members have weathered the storm of the twelve year journey, some have lost interest and returned when something piques interest.  Whatever, members old and new, we are a united force with a single objective - justice in the name of Madeleine McCann.  That we never forget.

So what can we do?  

We can relentlessly continue to explore every avenue, leaving no stone unturned, keep going back to the beginning, keep looking for that missing piece of the jigsaw that might just prove to be the key.  We can keep pushing the authorities for answers, keep badgering them with requests for information, keep reminding them that there is a little three year old girl abandoned by those who should really care - her family, the police and the British establishment.  We can continue to be the irritating thorn in their side that won't go away.  We can continue with an awareness campaign, pass on every new discovery or piece of evidence, to the Portuguese police.

So many good people who have campaigned for justice in the name of Madeleine McCann, have fallen by the wayside for whatever reason.  Good caring folk like Joana Morais and lazzeri-lies-in-the-sun who have given so much to the cause.  Thankfully, the strength of CMOMM has never died, nor ever will until this intriguing case is finally resolved satisfactorily.

Then there is the honourable Snr Gonçalo Amaral, a man whose life has been destroyed by the evil team McCann defence campaign.  He cannot be nor ever will be forgotten, we owe it to him to keep moving forward and keeping his name at the forefront in recognition of his dedication to the case of missing Madeleine McCann.

This case will not go away, not all the time good caring people are involved.  That is why we are here, why CMOMM and the MMRG carry on regardless.  United we stand divided we fall, we are a powerful united force, defeat does not enter into our vocabulary - we are here until the bitter end.

Perhaps all our endeavours will lead nowhere but you don't know unless you try.  If nothing else, we can keep the name of Madeleine McCann alive in her memory.

Moving Onwards and Upwards Empty May 2019

Post by Verdi 07.05.19 1:09

May 2019

It was quite clear back in May 2017, the tenth anniversary of Madeleine McCann's disappearance, that the long term campaign orchestrated by the McCanns was to draw to a close.  However, this didn't mean the McCanns intended to disappear off the face of the earth, like their beloved daughter.  How could they possibly consider a withdrawal from public life without good reason, like their daughter being found.

In addition, the team set-up by the Metropolitan Police, Operation Grange, in May 2011 to review the case - that's the Portuguese investigation together with UK liaison forces and the McCanns independently hired private detectives and later to be re-designated an investigation, or re-investigation, was destined to continue against all odds.  

Since it's inception in May 2011, the financing of Operation Grange has been granted by the Home Office and renewed at regular intervals, this situation still remains to this very day.  Since March this year, the UK press have periodically reported yet another anticipated Home Office funding renewal to enable Operation Grange, now a force of four officers, to follow new important leads.  The latest funding renewal has not been officially confirmed by the Home Office but that's no surprise considering their declaration in September 2018, which would appear to be an undisclosed open cheque..


Funding for Operation Grange


Posted by: HO News Team, Posted on: 25 September 2018 - Categories: Leading stories, Reactive statements, Uncategorised

The Home Office responds to media coverage on funding for Operation Grange.

Moving Onwards and Upwards Sign-placeholder-620x413

There has been media coverage of funding for Operation Grange, the Metropolitan Police Service’s (MPS) operation concerning the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Some of the recent coverage has suggested that funding for Operation Grange will expire on 30 September 2018, and that the MPS will be unable to continue the operation thereafter unless additional funds are provided.

We have received and are considering a request from the MPS to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.

Funding for Special Grant applications can be paid retrospectively for operational work already done in the same financial year. It is therefore incorrect to suggest that the MPS would have to discontinue its operational work after 30 September 2018 unless additional funds were provided in advance of this date.

The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding funding for Operation Grange.

Special Grant funding is usually available to police forces when they face significant or exceptional costs. The cost of Operation Grange – which, to date, is £11.6m – has been met through Special Grant funding.

As usual, full details of any Special Grant awards in 2018/19 will be published after the end of the financial year.

https://homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/2018/09/25/home-office-in-the-media/

So Operation Grange is scheduled to continue it's investigation into the unforeseeable future, likewise CMOMM and it's sister forum the MMRG, will continue to investigate the true mystery of Madeleine McCann, only without establishment interference or influence.  The Portuguese case coordinator Gonçalo Amaral, whose untimely removal from the PJ team, led to his ruination by the vindictive campaign orchestrated by team McCann, is back in the limelight by dint of a series of podcasts broadcast by the Australian journalist, Mark Saunokonoko.

There would appear to be no end to this mystery and all the time there is action afoot, or not as the case may be, so CMOMM and the MMRG will be right behind leaving no stone unturned.  Listening to every word, watching every move until we see justice for the voiceless child - Madeleine McCann.

Moving Onwards and Upwards Empty PeterMac's new Chapter for his e-book: JON CLARKE - OLIVE PRESS LIES AND VIDEOTAPE

Post by Verdi 30.05.19 13:38

May/June 2019


Forum member retired senior UK police chief PeterMac has recently updated his free e-book with new chapters that expose the Spanish online news agent, The Olive Press and it's editor Jon Clarke, for publishing false information relative to the case of missing Madeleine McCann.

The MMRG has taken the opportunity to forward this information to the producers of the recent Netflix Madeleine McCann production, as they promoted this false information invented by The Olive Press and staff members.  The Netflix production has been widely publicised through the UK media since it was shown, more especially around the time of the 12th anniversary of Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

It is not a factual portrayal of the case as it pretends to be.

Moving Onwards and Upwards Empty Paulo Reis: The McCann's War

Post by Verdi 02.06.19 1:27

June 2019

Paulo Reis, a native of the beautiful land of Portugal, a long standing investigative journalist who was initially touched by the plight, the raw emotion, he saw in the parents McCann when first watching the aftermath of Madeleine McCann's disappearance in May/June 2007.  Indeed twelve years ago.

Like so many observers, it wasn't long before he began to seriously doubt the version of events portrayed by the McCanns and their group of friends.  Investigative journalism in his blood, he started to probe the case more deeply by following the twists and turns in the ensuing weeks and months that focused more and more on parental culpability - the media reports being his particular interest.  For obvious reasons I feel.

Mr Reis spent months and years working on the subject with a view to eventually publishing a book to document his years of case study.  This year he has finalised his project and published an e-book to purchase at a very low cost through the world's leading online marketeer - Amazon.

Amazon however seriously failed to market Paulo Reis' e-book in the format he desired, that was so important to the end product.  Amazon was understandably abandoned for this reason but undaunted and doggedly determined in the style of a true investigative journalist, he quickly found an alternative publishing medium rather than abandon his years of work

Now, it has been reported by Paulo Reis, that his book The McCann's War, will be published in paperback format and on sale at major booksellers throughout the UK from 1st July 2019.

No one can dispute the infamous treatment of Gonçalo Amaral through the hands of the UK media and the diabolical way the disappearance of Madeleine McCann was handled by the UK media with the help of the UK government's media monitoring director - Clarence Mitchell.  This is for Madeleine McCann and all the victims of her story, not for self promotion.

For this reason alone, Paulo Reis' book has got to be worth it's weight in gold.

Moving Onwards and Upwards Empty The Show Must Go On

Post by Verdi 11.07.19 12:53

The Show Must Go On

It seems I was on the right track thinking that the McCann campaign's 10th anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance would be the grand finale - well almost.  In April/May (that month again) 2017, the McCanns and their defence league went full speed ahead laying their ten year  'campaign' to rest with a blitz of media attention.  This rather leaves the spectator in limbo - possibly by design or possibly by default.  Whichever, genuine folk who won't rest until they see justice for a little lost three year old girl by the name of Madeleine McCann will not be dictated by the McCann faction into submission.

I know the many aspects of this case have been discussed ad-infinitum, some might say to exhaustion, leaving nothing left to say - no stones left to unturn to coin a phrase.  To back-off now will be an act of defeatism, something I'm sure many of us won't admit to - so where do we go from here?

CMoMM will never be a lost cause, whether it continues to be active or not, it will always be there, on the internet, as a source of information for past, present and future study.  Like so many historic criminal cases, the mysterious disappearance of Madeleine McCann will never go away - it will always be part of our lives and the lives of future generations even if the truth is buried for eternity by the formidable UK establishment.  I for one (and hope many members and guests feel the same) would very much like to see and be part of an ongoing active respectable CMoMM that has seen so much discussion for so many years, despite constant attack from within and without.

So where do we go from here.

The letter containing research by the CMoMM splinter group, the MMRG, translated from English to Portuguese by CMoMM friend and member Paulo Reis, has been sent to the Portuguese Chief Prosecutor and receipt of said letter has been duly aknowledged.  It's now a case of waiting to see what, if anything, transpires, be the outcome positive or negative I feel members of CMoMM still have an important role to play.   If the Portuguese authorities are prepared to act on the information, all well and good but there is still work to be done from this end.

Members are invited here to put forward ideas for discussion, it matters not whether topics have been flogged to death in the past, or never been raised before.  I know it's boring for some to keep going over the same old ground but remember, not all readers of CMoMM are old hands so not familiar with the finer detail of the case, some are new to the case and might be eager to learn more.  It's important for Madeleine McCann to keep this case high profile, even if the McCanns are moving on and would rather it disappeared.

Remember, this is about little Madeleine McCann -  the only important person in this atrocious charade.

As the saying goes - the show ain't over till the fat lady sings !!!

CMOMM and the MMRG are never dormant,  it may not be obvious to the casual observer but the wheels are always in motion.  

Looking for new evidence and analyzing every point of fact and intelligence and/or presenting new hypothesis - in quest of  the final missing pieces of the multi-faceted jigsaw.

This particular subject is very much a work in progress.  The MMRG are working hard behind the scenes to ensure true diligence and accuracy as far as possible, before publication.

Moving Onwards and Upwards Empty National Audit Office: Re: Public Spending for Operation Grange

Post by Verdi 11.09.19 0:23

July - September 2019

Initiated by forum owner and chief faffer, Jill Havern

National Audit Office: Re: Public Spending for Operation Grange

The story so far..

Moving Onwards and Upwards Nation11
....................

Dear Ms Havern,

I wrote to you on 1 July to explain that, in response to another request that we had received, we had decided to make further enquiries with the Home Office in respect of the special grant funding for Operation Grange and that these enquiries were ongoing.  Our work is continuing and to provide you with a substantive response, we will require more time to assess the information that we are obtaining.   I am therefore writing to update you that we would now expect to respond more fully to the points that you raise by the end of August. I apologise for the delay.

Regards

Tom McDonald

Dear Ms Havern,

Further to my e-mail of 25 July, I am writing to confirm that we have completed our enquiries with the Home Office and I am now able to respond to the questions that you have raised specifically in relation to the administration of special grants for the continued funding of Operation Grange.

I thought it might be helpful to set out the role and remit of the National Audit Office (NAO). The NAO is completely independent of government and has two main functions. The first is to certify the accounts of government departments and other central government bodies and to express an opinion on those accounts. As a part of this routine annual external audit, we examine Special Grants using a risk-based approach. The second is to carry out examinations into the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which government departments and other public sector bodies have used their resources. In each case the results are reported to Parliament. Our remit is restricted in that we cannot question the merits of government policies. Therefore, the work we have undertaken in response to your correspondence has focused on establishing the facts around the Home Office’s use of Special Grant funding in support of Operation Grange. In doing so, we have also sought to ensure that we do not prejudice the ongoing police investigation.

We have considered the funding provided for Operation Grange against the Home Office’s own criteria for administering Special Grants. The criteria require any bid for funding to set out in detail how the funding will be used. Among other things the criteria also stipulate that the Home Office will normally consider requests for Special Grant funding to help meet costs where a force expects to incur expenditure that reaches 1% of its budget. However, the rules for such funding allow ministers discretion to waive this requirement. In this instance, while the costs of Operation Grange are significantly under 1% of the Metropolitan Police’s budget, Ministers have exercised their discretion to commission this investigation to draw on the specialist skills of the Metropolitan Police’s investigations team.

In cases where Special Grant funding is approved, forces are required to demonstrate that their arrangements for managing the expenditure meet the principles of the Treasury’s Managing Public Money guidance. You had expressed concern about whether the funding has produced results and is delivering value for money. To address this, we have considered the governance and oversight arrangements in place to assess how this funding is being used. These arrangements typically include consideration of the expected activities that the funding will enable. Having reviewed appropriate evidence, we can confirm that there is a dedicated team within the Home Office whose role is to manage Special Grant funding. As with other Special Grants, their responsibilities in relation to Operation Grange include regular liaison with the Metropolitan Police investigation team to assess progress, challenging the use of funds as necessary and considering what, if any, additional funding may be required. The oversight arrangements have operated effectively and the Home Office team has not identified any instances of funds being misused.

There are separate mechanisms in place to evaluate the use of Special Grant funding, including for Operation Grange. Firstly, the Home Office’s dedicated team obtain and check submissions from the Metropolitan Police on how the funds have been used and to continuously monitor progress. Furthermore, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) also undertake an examination on the use of these funds. There is no indication from the evidence that we have examined that these funds have not been used for the purposes intended set out in the application for Special Grant funding. These oversight arrangements are sufficiently robust, timely and regular to ensure that spending is properly monitored. The Home Office has been able to provide financial reports demonstrating the oversight that they exercise.

In conclusion, therefore, we are satisfied that the Home Office has used Special Grant funding in support of Operation Grange in accordance with its own guidance and has exercised adequate oversight of related expenditure by the Metropolitan Police. From our review of the funding and governance arrangements as well as our annual audits of the Home Office financial statements, we have not identified any areas of concern in relation to this expenditure.

Regards

Tom McDonald

The latest in a long line of exemplary research and analysis by the Madeleine McCann Research Group, to whom we thank for their undying diligence in the memory of Madeleine McCann..

https://jillhavern.forumotion.net/t16655-robert-murat-and-the-meeting-at-salsalito-burgau-on-tuesday-13-november-2007-clues-about-what-really-happened-to-madeleine-mccann

To help move this project forward, all members are encouraged to contribute by way of opinion, criticism, fact finding, agreement, disagreement - whatever's good for you.  To enable the MMRG to be confident that all angles have been covered and a true representation of fact and evidence are presented without discrepancies or inaccuracies, a joint effort is essential.

As can be seen, the project is lengthy and thus cannot be fairly absorbed in one reading. Take your time to read chapter and verse and try to see how each piece of the puzzle fits. You are not asked to agree nor bow down to anyone or anything, just consider the detail presented and form your own opinions. Indeed constructive criticism is welcomed - how else can we move forward towards the truth?

This really is a monumental project, let's not let it get lost in the mist of time due to diminishing interest in the case of Madeleine McCann.  She still needs us, whilst the establishment continue to turn a blind eye.

Your observations can be posted at the following link..

Letter from PeterMac to The Rt Hon Priti Patel: OPERATION GRANGE - REPORTED DISAPPEARANCE OF MADELEINE BETH MCCANN


8th October 2019

The Rt Hon Priti Patel, PC, MP
Home Secretary

Madam,

OPERATION GRANGE - REPORTED DISAPPEARANCE OF MADELEINE BETH MCCANN

I am a retired Police Superintendent, Operations Commander, with CID and other investigative experience.  I have studied this case for 12 years, in conjunction with experts in various fields.

I refer to the recent report by Sir Richard Henriques of his review of Operation Midland.

"Sir Richard, who was commissioned to review the investigation by the Metropolitan Police in February 2016, concluded:
“The principal cause of the many failures in this investigation was poor judgement and a failure to accurately evaluate known facts and to react to them.
“A major contributing factor was the culture that ‘victims’ must be believed.
“Whilst the responsible Officers assert that they kept an open mind, several failures can only be explained by an unwarranted and disproportionate belief in ‘Nick's’ credibility.”
The review said that major inconsistencies between Beech’s accounts, a lack of corroborating evidence and overall “implausibility” was not properly challenged.”     [ Link supplied below]

It is evident that Operation Grange may have fallen into the same trap of poor judgement, specifically

  • has failed to accurately evaluate known facts, and to react to them
  • has followed the culture that the ‘victims’ [the McCanns] must be believed
  • has not had an open mind, but has had an unwarranted and disproportionate belief in the ‘McCanns’ credibility’
  • has not taken account of the major inconsistencies between the McCann’s and their holiday friend’s and other witnesses’ accounts;  of the lack of corroborating evidence;  and further that the overall ‘implausibility’ of the account has not been properly challenged.

The Operation seems deliberately to be ignoring the points of evidence against the ‘official account’.    The most notorious of these include the alerts by the British blood and human cadaver detection dogs; the clear evidence of forgery of the photo of the family by the pool;  the exposing of the original untruths about forced and broken shutters; the total lack of evidence of entry, presence and exit; the impossibility of the alleged regular checking system; bizarre and contradictory statements from the parents themselves about the ‘comfort blanket’ and the pyjamas . . .  and a plethora of others.   The list is too long even to append here.  Not one has been explained or refuted.  

Operational Policing is clearly not within the immediate responsibility of the Home Secretary.
The continued funding of Grange over eight years at a cost of at least £ 11.6 million (2018), however, is.  
(By contrast Operation Midland lasted only 16 months, and cost a relatively insignificant £2.5m)

The position of PM Mrs May, might have been compromised by her decision whilst Home Secy. to receive Dr Kate McCann at a Downing Street reception, and to introduce her as a ‘victim’ to Royalty.  [Link below]

PM Mr Cameron, might similarly have been compromised by his decision to write personally to the McCanns in terms inappropriate during an investigation into a missing child, when it is established fact that in over 85% of cases the close family or friends are ultimately shown to have been involved and should therefore always be treated as prime suspects.  Met. DCI Colin Sutton turned down the opportunity to lead Grange after learning that the investigation was going to be very narrowly focused, and away from the McCanns or their friends, contrary to his oath, his professional duty, his experience and his training.  [Link below]

Professionals from several fields have expressed serious doubts about the path the investigation is following, and serious commentators across the world have presented reasoned and evidenced thoughts about many aspects of the case and its investigation, some presented as challenging documentaries

It is clear that PM Mr Cameron, having inherited the poisoned chalice of the involvement of Government and the Security Services from Blair and Brown, was also put under intolerable pressure to set up Operation Grange given the threats against Mrs May, as Rebekah Brooks admitted at Leveson.

We do not believe that your position has been compromised in any of these ways.

I note that in a refreshingly robust and professional manner you have already instructed Sir Thomas Winsor to conduct an inspection of the Metropolitan Police, but observe that Operation Grange is a tightly focussed issue, stemming from the involvement of a previous Labour PM, Blair, and his Chancellor, Brown, (the reason for whose involvement is far from clear.)

On 10 October 2016 I sent a full letter with several appendices of evidence and references to your predecessor The Rt Hon Amber Rudd PC,MP,  with copies to Mr Cameron, and to the Met. Commissioner.
Several dossiers of fully referenced evidence and analysis have been sent direct to Grange, and a formal document with appendices of relevant and incontrovertible evidence was sent to the Portuguese Attorney General, and to the Polícia Judiciária  (PJ).  [Link below]
All have acknowledged receipt.

Retired Portuguese DCI Dr Gonçalo Amaral, the original SIO in the case, who wrote the book in which he referred to political involvement which has been endorsed by the Supreme Court in Portugal as an honest account and consistent with the evidence, has also been kept informed of our research.

We can provide duplicates on request.

In light of the above, may I as a tax-payer be assured that any money allocated to Operation Grange is devoted to a proper search for the truth and to justice for a little British girl, or that Sir Thomas be instructed to focus on Grange as a priority in his wider assessment of the work of the Metropolitan Police

I remain, Ma’am
Yours sincerely

25th November 2019 - 10th Anniversary of CMOMM

https://jillhavern.forumotion.net/t16685-cmomm-the-crusading-campaigning-research-forum-on-all-things-madeleine-mccann-is-10-years-old-today-25-november-2019#410965
The tenth anniversary of Madeleine McCann's disappearance was the epilogue for team McCann, the end of their agenda, their long term strategy.  As Kate McCann said .... 'ten years is a significant mark in time' and she should know - she was there!  

Maybe 10 years was always to be team McCanns finale, their final curtain call, the grand encore but no performer can dictate to the audience, the audience alone can decide the future of the production by audience ratings.  So Messrs McCann .... you invited the crowd into your play but don't expect the crowd to leave the auditorium at your command.  To this very day, even Shakespeare is debated as is the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and they were true artists, not some threepenny soap opera posing as a work of art.

Of course we are indebted to the forum boss, Jill Havern, for making this all possible but without strong support and membership - where would we be?

This is a united force with a single mind - justice in the name of Madeleine McCann, a little three year old child lost in the mists and myths of time.  Abandoned by those who should care above all else - her family and the establishment.

Special thanks to all members, not only the UK but from across the continents, as far reaching as Australasia.   Past and present, latent or active, good human beings with heart big enough to compensate for the severe neglect of the Complete Mystery Of Madeleine McCann.

Other minor and major issues come and they go but life goes on for the living, not so for the departed.  They need a voice to be heard.

Let's never forget why we are here.

Long live CMOMM  .... onwards and upwards!

December 2019

It's only a matter of days and the year 2019 will end,  an odd number,  in many respectsan odd year - an annus horribilis.  

Somehow 2020 has a ring of hope about it, a new year even numbered and evenly measured.  Many changes on the horizon, changes that will bring  enlightenment and hopefully enrich the lives of so many a lost soul.

Tragedy will always be a part of our existence. this can be overcome by hope and a united force for the better, not through violence or bitter recriminations but by determination for a better future leaving bitterness behind for the scavengers.

We can only achieve this by becoming a united force.

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

Information regarding Operation Grange is requested.

By way of background, at around 10.00pm on Thursday 3 May 2007, Madeleine McCann was reported missing. On 15 May 2007, Robert Murat was declared a formal suspect (‘arguido’). On 7 September 2007 the McCanns were also made formal suspects. In July 2008, following reports from the Portuguese Judiciary Police and the Attorney-General, the Portuguese investigation was shelved on the basis that there was insufficient evidence to charge any person with either of two crimes: (1) abduction or (2) homicide and hiding a cadaver. Accordingly Mr Murat and the McCanns were relieved of their suspect status.

On 12 May 2011, in  response to a request the previous day from Rebekah Brooks,  then Editor of the Sun newspaper, the then Prime Minister David Cameron ordered the then  Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, to set up an investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance, which the Prime Minister’s spokesman said was ‘to help the family’.

Today (December 2019), over 12½ years since Madeleine was reported missing, and over 8½ years after Operation Grange was set up, it would appear that the Metropolitan Police is no nearer to providing  an  answer as to what really happened to Madeleine McCann. It has now been one of the United Kingdom’s longest-running and most expensive enquiries ever, costing at least £12 million so far with no sign whatsoever that any significant progress has been made.

As long ago as 26 April 2015, a number of newspapers reported that Operation Grange was to be scaled down from 29 full-time officers to just four.

Impressive statistics were given by Operation Grange at the time.  

1,338 statements taken
1,027 exhibits collected
650 sex offenders considered
8,685 potential sightings of Madeleine around the world considered
560 lines of enquiry pursued
over 11,000 mobile phone records seized and examined
31 rogatory requests sent to a number of countries
several suspects (some of them named) questioned and/or interviewed under caution.

The reports indicated at the time that the Home Office granted another £2 million to Operation Grange for further investigative work until April 2016. Many people, not least members of the London Assembly, have expressed grave doubts about the purpose of the investigation, its length, cost and modus operandi.

Hence I submit these questions:

1.       Do you have any updates on the numbers of (a) statements taken (b) exhibits collected (c) 650 sex offenders considered (d) sightings of Madeleine around the world considered (e) lines of enquiry pursued (f) mobile phone records seized and examined (g) rogatory requests made and (g) suspects questioned and/or interviewed under caution? If so, please supply the updated figures.

2        Up to what date has the Home Office currently authorised funding for Operation
Grange?

3        Who is the current Senior Investigating Officer and how many full-time or part-time staff does s/he have and, of those, how many are detectives and how many are support staff?

4        There have been several media reports in the past two years, some of which are said to have been sourced from Operation Grange insiders, suggesting that the current Operation Grange suspect for the abduction of Madeleine is a paedophile in a German prison. Can the Metropolitan Police now confirm whether that is the case, or, alternatively, state whether they now have any other prime suspect in view.

5.       Please state any dates when any Operation Grange detectives have met in person with their Portuguese counterparts since 1 April 2015.

6.       Please list the dates of any travel to foreign countries made by any Operation Grange detectives since 1 April 2015 and name the countries involved.

I would be grateful.

Yours faithfully

Anthony Bennett

Another year, another decade and still Madeleine McCann's memory is all but lost in the mists of time.

The 10th anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance was, I fear, the mark of time - the beginning of the end of the McCanns campaign, the wider agenda, the long term strategy so carefully orchestrated at the beginning of May 2007.

Sadly, public interest appears to be fading away along with the stagnating campaign strategy. What does this mean - the McCanns and their team have conquered at last? Is Madeleine McCann now to become a lost soul forgotten, never to be honoured with the justice she so richly deserves?

This is how it's looking.

CMOMM continues to maintain a healthy membership and new recruits still join after all these years. This brings hope that as a united force we can still make a difference - or at least keep trying.

Let's keep this show on the road for the ensuing year and beyond if necessary - until Madeleine McCann is laid to rest in peace.

A very happy and peaceful New Year to all members and guests, whoever wherever whatever or whyever you are. Without you we are lost.

grouphug

So here we are - still, the beginning of another decade, the unsolved case of little Madeleine McCann rolls on year on year but gathers no moss. At least not here on CMOMM where no stone is left unturned.

As has been said before, all might appear all quiet on the western front but CMOMM continues to work relentlessly, looking for that final piece of the 10,000,000 piece jigsaw that might, just might, force the authorities to actually sit-up and take notice. If nothing else, we can continue to be the proverbial thorn in the side.

Cases such as this can't be allowed to die just because the authorities want it all to go away. So I say .... onwards and upwards!

It seems rather trite to wish a happy Christmask under the present circumstances, so I will just say make the most of what you can - even if alone, you can still have positive happy thoughts.

My personal thanks to all genuine members past and present here on CMOMM, who have stayed faithful to our mission - justice in the name of Madeleine McCann and any other world injustice that rears it's ugly head.

The curtain is coming down on theatrics, there will come a day - possibly in the near future, when the McCann story reaches an end.  Not a satisfactory end but suffice to say, it's been played out leaving only a remnant of the past and the relentless struggle from both sides of the fence.  Those who defend the name McCann against all odds and those with a genuine interest in justice alone.

It's been a miserable year with not much to look forward to in the immediate future but we are here - aren't we?  We won't give up - will we?

Nah - and that's an emphatic nah!  We ain't going nowhere - not without a fight!

So again thanks to all members for your support, many thanks to the support team who give their time freely to keep the forum up and running and last but not least, especial thanks to the forum owner Jill Havern 'The Boss', without whom where would we be?

Keep safe and strong and remember .... keep smiling!

It saddens me to think it takes a tragedy, the loss of a dear kind lovely forum member, to return to this important way forward thread.  I refer of course to the loss of forum member 'Hentie' - please excuse my not using her real name, she was known to us all as Hentie so Hentie it is.

So much time has passed since we clung to the hope of making a difference, to finding something,  anything, that might lead to the truth behind sweet Madeleine McCann's untimely disappearance from this earth.  I guess it could be said with absolute confidence, Hentie is now in a better place with the little one she dedicated so much of her life to finding the truth.

That at least is positive.

The past eighteen months have been eaten away with uncertainty about the future, the future of us all under the cloud of COVID-19.  Whether you believe the virus to be a reality or not, one thing can't be denied, it's profoundly affected all our lives.  You could say life has been put on hold indefinitely - and you'd be right!  Naturally, this imbalance of life has added to the waning interest in the case of missing Madeleine McCann.  Try as we might, it's nigh on impossible to maintain interest in the case under the present climate and of course, the passage of time.

They say time heals the pain.   Be that as it may, time also dissipates general interest in the case of a missing little child.  Inevitable, life goes on, you get to the stage - after fourteen years, where you think there's nothing more we can do but where there is life, there is hope.

We owe it to the memory of Hentie and other truth seekers who have sadly left this world to keep fighting for the truth, to keep the name Madeleine McCann alive until justice is served.

This is for you Hentie - in your honour  singlerose

It's a while since we were here, the past two years have been a long journey of personal discovery for the entire world, the pandemic has caused so much turmoil and so much uncertainty in the lives of all.  It seems never ending.

Sadly, aside from personal concerns we have all experienced during this nightmarish period, important issues so close to our hearts have become secondary but never forgotten.

Here of course I refer to the tragic disappearance of little Madeleine McCann, pushed aside maybe but never ever forgotten.

There has of course been the customary continuation of tedious media commentary and misleading documentary and even a book - not worthy of mention, at least not to the dedicated truth seekers. Throw that asunder and focus only on moving onwards and upwards in our quest.

The horizon is looking brighter no matter what the media will have you believe, people are breathing natures beneficence again and things are getting back to some semblance of normality, albeit a long way off former days.  I guess things will never be the same but that could well be a good thing.

So here we are again, never far away but overdue for a catch-up - is that not the very essence of every weekend - a catch-up? Even if only the ever addictive soap opera or detective thriller - or if you're wise enough comedy!

This is not new but nonetheless a reminder of our past endeavours in pursuit of justice (that word again) and our determination to fight the good fight in the name of Madeleine McCann..

But to bring us up to date, something we have all been waiting for .... Gonçalo Amaral's new book has at last come to fruition, not before time I hasten to add.

Our Portuguese friends have the advantage of already buying the book by fair means or foul and we very much look forward to relying on their good will to satisfy the curiosity until such times as an English publication is available -  for it will happen for sure!

Keep up to date here..

January 2022

So here we are again, another year done and dusted and a new one just begun - I don't hold out much hope for anything resembling normality in the foreseeable future.  A lot has happened in two years that needs to be shaken off - like a damp doggy, before we can look forward to regaining positivity and faith in natures evolutionary process

Can't say I'm sorry to see the back of the 2021 festive season.  One year ago, Christmask 2020, the world was still reeling under the shock and effects of the pandemic but this past year the world seems to have slipped into an insular clannish mode of living.  In the normal course of events, practically everyone you pass wished you a Happy Christmas and Happy New Year but this past season not so.

The clannishness bringing families together can be seen as a good thing but I don't think it's healthy to wrap the family unit in fluff, thus excluding outsiders from your world.  People need their individuality, their own personal space reserved for them alone.

Anyway, I digress.

Here we are again, the pandemic having slightly thrown our true purpose off course - understandably!

I believe the majority of forum members and guest readers are here primarily for one topic only .... The Complete Mystery of Madeleine McCann!

Unsurprisingly with the absence of anything new, general interest in the case has waned considerably.  Indeed, CMOMM appears to be the only surviving, yet still thriving forum, left on the circuit.

For that we have the forum owner Jill Havern - or is that 'Haven', to thank  bow3  along with team admin  salute (although I say so myself) team CMOMM and the MMRG  salute - never forgetting our loyal forum members who help keep this show on the road and continue to work for justice in the name of little Madeleine McCann.

bow2

On that score, it might seem tedious to some to see the same old stuff being churned over but this is not time wasted for a number of reasons.  It's important to keep the subject of Madeleine McCann in focus, even if this means going over old ground looking for that missing piece of the puzzle - let's face it, no one else is going look out for her until justice is achieved. Add to that, people with changed opinions and new up and coming generations with little or no knowledge of the truth of the lie.  We owe it to Madeleine McCann and all dedicated good hearted folk who are trying to get to the bottom of this apparent horror, aside from the profiteers and attention seekers, to keep moving forward - or at least not come to a standstill.

It's the forum's legacy to Madeleine McCann.  In years to come it will become an authoritative source of research and case analysis - of that I'm sure.

So good people, let's keep the good ship 'Havern' afloat for another year - and then some.  Starting here..

Three cheers for 2022 and CMOMM/MMRG

Hip hip hooray !!!  Hip hip hooray !!!

It seems a long time, too long, since I was last here promoting the Herculean efforts of CMOMM and MMRG in the name of justice for Madeleine McCann.  My last words, sorry to say blindly, rejoiced in our continued diligence behind the scenes and on the open forum to overcome all opposition whist striving to solve The Complete Mystery of Madeleine McCann.

Interest in the case is dwindling by the week, it's so important - for Madeleine McCann, that we never give up even if the case stagnates.

bignono

Well I'm delighted to report we are back on track, so without further ado, here it is..

email sent this morning:

****
DCI Mark Cranwell. Operation Grange
Copied to
Det Ch Supt Mark Morgan, Cmdr David McLaren, DAC Graham McNulty, AC Nick Ephgrave
A/Comm., Sir Stephen House

Sir,

It is being reported that Operation Grange is to be wound down and formally closed in autumn this year.  
In light of the decision to put the Metropolitan Police as a whole into “Special Measures,”, and for the purposes of future Freedom of Information Act requests and possible investigation into the way the Operation was initially constituted and was then conducted and supervised, it is important that we can confirm that Grange received and read the various files of evidence submitted over the years.

Specifically we confirm we sent you and your predecessors, DCIs Redwood and Wall, extensive files of evidence and analysis showing inter alia
[list=ol1][*]that the ‘Pool Photo’ cannot have been taken on 3/5/7 and can only have been taken on Sunday 29/4/7
[*]that EUMETSAT images and other contemporaneous photographs posted on the net confirm this
[*]that evidence from witnesses who claim to have seen Madeleine during the week is unreliable
[*]that the absence of photos of video of Madeleine after Sunday 29/4/7 was notable
[*]that the alleged “crack team of private detectives” [Mitchell] was in fact fraudulent
[*]that there is clear evidence of mis-use of assets in the “Fund”
[/list]
and much more

   We sent a copy of a long and detailed analysis, in both English and Portuguese, which had been sent to the PJ and the Public Prosecutor in Portugal. Dra. Joana Marques Vidal.
   We sent copies of various letters to successive Home Secretaries and Commissioners of Police of the Metropolis, several of which were supported by extensive appendices of evidence and references.
   Mr AJS Bennett, LLB, MA, solicitor, also handed in to you [Grange] personally a detailed dosser of evidence.



On each occasion we received and have on file your automatic response e-mail, which states that all materials will be read and considered.

We also confirm that at all times you have been aware of the free ‘e-book’ in which many of these issues have been set out in simple form with extensive Appendices and references supplied.

If you cannot locate these documents, or require further copies we are able to supply any of these.

The receipt of the automatic reply to this e-mail will confirm that this communication has also been received.

Sincerely
Peter Mac

Moving Onwards and Upwards Empty Re: Moving Onwards and Upwards

Post by Verdi 11.08.22 1:29

I was given a stark reminder earlier today that the majority have lost interest in the case of Madeleine McCann, with the observational knowledge that justice will never come to fruition.  This is of course true, my own view being that the case came to and end at the time of the 10th anniversary, since when it's only been veiled trivia circulated by mainstream and social media.

The most important reference websites aside from CMOMM  party  , even the mccannpjfiles, has lost status. That unforgettable stalwart Nigel Moore -  always my reference bible, closed his domain.  Thanks to pamalam of gerrymccannsblog Nigel's work has been preserved for posterity but somehow it's not the same without Nigel's website and his presence.

Now, I for one and I know I speak the same language as many forum members, don't wish to see CMOMM end in the same way, I wish to see the forum continue in all it's glory with Madeleine McCann preserved for now and future generations.  The only way that can be successfully accomplished is to keep the forum open and active, without that it will gradually disappear - of that you can be assured.

Thirteen years of hard graft and dedication to be lost in cyberspace is not an option.

There was a time not so long ago, if you wanted to know anything about the case detail, just type in a few key words on google search and the top hits would lead straight to CMOMM. Now google search leads straight to all things Christian Bruckner.

Why?

Well, it's because there is an active stronghold on mainstream and social media that are anxious to see the tale pinned on Christian Brueckner,  the grand finale to end the Complete Mystery of  Madeleine McCann once and for all.  The super group are active and they have supporters that infiltrate all forms of media in order to keep Brueckner in the spotlight, to cast blame without any evidence against the man. Even CMOMM is not impervious to the festering infiltration - but fear not, management is constantly on the watch.

Very recently CMOMM admin team seriously considered whether or not to close the forum, the mutual decision was to keep  going for the foreseeable future.  To that I am 100% committed no matter what the opposition or feigned forum friendship.

The ultimate decision as regards the forums future is of course in the hands of the forum owner Jill Havern and no one else but in the meantime it's up to us all to ensure the future of CMOMM is not further jeopardized by lack of interest in the case of Madeleine McCann.

Some of the most notorious heinous crimes and mysteries over decades - if not centuries are still debated today - why not shift the forum focus from it's present fading function to a sort of debating society.  The type of group that never gives up, never let's the crime fade all the time there are unanswered questions.

I don't mean to change the forum in any way, that's the personification of perfection, but to put more energy into keeping the case of Madeleine McCann alive against all opposition.  No matter how many times the same stuff is reiterated, there will always be new observers - new generations and oldies who have forgotten a lot of case detail.

A good debating society never gives up, I don't think we should ever give up on Madeleine McCann - that's my vision.

I don't want this to be the last time I update this thread ....

So here we are again - fifteen and a half years down the line, a pandemic came and went and resultant upheaval never to be forgotten, again CMOMM weather's the storm and again thanks to the forum owner Jill Havern, team admin specs  and you good fellows who help keep us alive.

CMOMM never sleeps, as we speak the Faffer in Chief is laboriously updating her latest forum initiative which I think is brilliant and I'm sure you will also appreciate the benefits.  

A new form of reference making search visually more appealing and easy.

Enjoy!

Also, I don't know for sure but I feel a new PeterMac e-book chapter in the making.  Watch this spot!
