The McCanns have done all they can. Answered everything put to them. No one could have put themselves on the line more than they. They have run for charity. They have jogged their hearts out to help in this mammoth search. Not a day has gone by when they have known peace of mind. Let us hope all this hard work has paid off and the real perpetrators caught up with at long last.

Please tell me that was somebody's idea of a sick joke.

I remember a recently deceased celeb who did a lot of running and charity work.... But his name slips his mind

I'd like to think that it is tongue in cheek. I read the jogged their hearts out to help the search as being very mocking. I hope that's the inference anyway; that and the never knowing peace of mind.

To avoid any conflict it would've been important both parties agreed on a suitable lab in advance of this work.

do you think this is a red herring or have they got some thing concrete to make them look in this place

i have been trying to estimate the full on-costs of this, but it gets bigger by the minute.
Given the level of planning
given the level of permissions needed (warrants of entry)
given the level of organisation which has clearly gone into this, this time round - all the equipment obviously lined up properly so that work can start immediately
given the visits by the CPS to Portugal last year
given . . .
given . . .

I do not believe this can be seen as a whim of an old DCI sitting back in his soft reclining chair and saying "Lets go and dig a few holes just to make it look good "

So perhaps a concrete herring.

Does someone want to try to count the numbers of people and vehicles involved,
Security at and round the site will be 24 hours = 3 full shifts of officers, and 5 if we go into the weekend

SY have sent officers (Grange) plus other specialists, non police, who will be on generous fees and expenses.
And so on

Just adding...that would be the FSS, the world renowned forensic service that just went 'whoosh'.

---------------------------------------------------
Oh, dear.

Answered everything put to them?

Even Kate McCann ADMITS to 'jeopardising' the investigation into her daughter's 'disappearance' by NOT answering questions!

And K McCann was "GLAD the investigation, into her daughter's 'disappearance' was CLOSED!

And KATE MCCANN has stated, publicly, "if the case (into Madeleine's 'disappearance') is re-opened, or NOT, it dosen't matter"
--------------------------------------------------
Oh, dear.

"They have run for charity"

So did Jimmy Savile and Stuart Hall!
--------------------------------

Yep. They certainly did 'everything' they could! (except ACTUALLY 'searching' that is)

Reading the comments you can see how effective their spin doctors are.

There is utter contempt for the Police out there and some of the locals.

How can people sleep at night ruining the lives of a whole town/village who are completely innocent?

Even IF the police did get it wrong, is that justification for ruining lives of so many?

by Praia 02.06.14 17:20

Pershing, try and ignore the comments. I am sure Mr Green Ink is cracking the whip with his paid shills to post these faux rage comments IMO

by Hopespringseternal 02.06.14 17:26

I feel there has been a distinct change in the postings on any McCann story in the Mail. Either the mods on there are allowing a lot to slip through, or there are a great many folk who have become doubters and are more vociferous.

The messages seem to be in blocks pro and then blocks 'anti' . You have to read a whole load of cr*p from pros before encountering a lot of posts in an 'anti' vein. I am, for the time being, in a glass half-full frame of mind about things. winkwink

I feel this thread is now in danger of being derailed by speaking of Daily Mail comments (and that's no reflection on your post HSE).

At around 4pm this afternoon, (give or take half an hour, but no doubt repeated anyway) LBC radio correspondent said that, ‘it was known’ that the McCann’s are being kept in the loop on the progress of what’s going on (i.e. digging today and implying and clearly believing, based on further supportive comments he made of the couple, that he believed the police/authorities were sharing inside details with them as if they were in on the digging). He was being asked questions by the news reporter/presenter and it very much sounded like an unqualified waffle statement as though trying to make out he knows his stuff, perhaps after hearing other reporters in the past, when he clearly doesn’t.

I felt that, (unless he could use the clause that they were not being kept up to date any more or less than anyone else), he should be challenged on this claim or at least his source or pure ignorance on the matter.

I imagine if someone stated that it is known that the McCann’s are NOT being updated or kept in the loop, CR might be hovering. Heads I win, tails you lose – isn’t it?

BBC News

For the McCann family, the latest search for evidence about their daughter's disappearance couldn't come soon enough. But some in the resort of Praia da Luz are frustrated by the timing.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27664401

Well, that's another lie. In a recent interview the McCann's first complained about the slowness of the Portuguese police and then asked Scotland Yard to delay the search until after Madeleine's birthday party. Sheer cunning, as if any parent of a genuinely missing child would do that.

Hill overlooking the sea where searches are going on , and this is where Kate had a premonition of her daughter being and the basis for their arrest.
