Absolutely terrifying I agree! Looks like he has never seen the sunlight.

Mr Monteiro's long-awaited decision to shelve the 15-month police investigation came as a huge relief to the McCanns, but their spokesman said there could be no sense of jubilation while their daughter was still missing.

It's a mystery how they always managed to wake up their sleeping spokesmen in Portugal and UK to exercise their mouth muscles to script as needed! Why if they are SO desperate to search for Maddie are they hiding behind the skirts (so to speak) of their spokesmen, what good would that do to progress the search?

The McCanns will then have 20 days to appeal against the Portuguese attorney general's decision to drop the case, although this is unlikely.

'They welcome this news but the whole thing has been an unnecessary distraction since September,' said Mr Mitchell.
'The main thing now is to get everything back to finding Madeleine. The only thing they care about is finding Madeleine.
'We hope that the Portuguese authorities will continue to co-operate with their private investigation.'

[i]This underscored bit is so laughable and factually wrong in many places in just that one liner!
Holy cow, you would think the mccanns are running the investigation.
"will continue"...err since when the Portuguese authorities were doing as they implied (ie co-operating with the pte dicks)?
BTW, why do they expect that only of the "Portuguese authorities", why not the Yard?
Did they have the same galls to write that to Portuguese or the Yard?

I am surprised they didn't walk in to the Yard's office and hand in all their pte investigations works and leads........ if the only thing they care about is finding Madeleine?
