Yup,
freeloading cops mainly

The Ben Needham case resolved itself without endless holidays for coppers
so should this one

Build a relationship before she goes home?

Sorry but that’s pretty deluded, poor little girl.

Shame on you Listening

@CathyorClaire which photo fit and spookily close to what?

@ListeningQuietly
That is shockingly bad taste

I don't think I need to be a professional in anything to form an opinion on something and as a mother I'd not leave my children in an apartment in foreign country to begin with.

Obviously no one knows what happened to Madeleine, I also didn't say I think the parents murdered her I simply said something was off about them but I suppose I could give people the same opinion on me.

I just hope this lead isn't a dead end.

That sounds like a long winded way of saying no, you don't have any professional expertise or lived experience of what constitutes not weird behaviour in this situation?

Let's be clear though, there's no suggestion you need to be a professional to have an opinion. My question was simply intended to ascertain whether your views are worth paying attention to or whether this is merely the Dunning Kruger effect.

@JMAngel1 I just said the same thing so beware your post might get deleted too

it means this . Mutipied by 14 which makes 15799,42

yes the nation DOES worry about a 'fair haired kid'....yes,and so bloody what!???

And how many of them are 3 years old? And how many of them are still missing 13 years later?

This case has the highest profile because the parents organised themselves and raised funds to do it.

Are people really still doing the 'I can't believe they left her' thing 13 years later, like it's a new and fascinating insight they've had that just has to be shared?

I cannor speak for The Nation, but come on now, please, look at the statistics.

There was never any evidence that the parents had anything to do with it at all.

Wow. Seriously? facepalm

Ben's mum doesn't consider his disappearance solved.

@BlackberryCane to be honest there was a lot of evidence especially in the documentary which was weird , the blood, the corps scent ... like I said before I didn't say they hurt her I just said somethings off about it. Why can't I say that ?

So tens of thousands of children are " missing" and The Nation focusses on this?

Not sure what I've said that is in any way out of order

• I have no idea what happened to the little girl

but I do now that MILLIONS of pounds of the UK police budget have been spent in Portugal in nice resorts investigating a potential non crime

I wonder if the same effort would have been expended had she vanished in Cleethorpes

I thought it was really interesting the way the police officer worded his request for information, emphasising the fact that the suspect is in prison now.

I really hope this brings some closure for her family.

Nobody said you couldn't. Again, asking whether you have any knowledge of normal human reactions in situations like this isn't preventing you from saying anything.

@randomer

In the United Kingdom, an estimated 112,853 children are reported missing every year.

That's meaningless unless you also know how many were later found, came home of their own accord, were the subject of family disputes etc

You don't think they are all still missing do you?

Are they suggesting she was taken to Germany? Which is why he reregistered his car there the day after and why the german police are involved? Poor poor Madeleine and her poor parents. I hope this is him and it’s some closure for them.

Cleethorpes, wandered off while Mum was pissed at the Club....yeah right.

Missing means er missing?
