I cannot understand a lot of the attitudes here, of course i am interested and concerned as to what happened to this little girl, no parent could ever be uninterested and harbour a hope against hope that this little girl is still alive.
Saying that i do not think we, as the public, has any right to the information held by the police/authorities regarding this case unless disclosure of that information is likely to result in further evidence. It is none of our business actually (yes i know, i started the thread) the ins and outs of the investigation. There will be reasons that certain aspects haven't been released but i really don't know how it would help anyone by not having this in the public domain.
There is no conspiracy - the public don't need to know
I think the McCanns themselves are behind the push for more and more publicity for their case and fair play to them for that, they are intelligent and articulate and have used the media to try to find their little girl, it is just a shame the the public love a soap opera and couldnt just see it for what it is - desperate parents doing what they can to try and find their missing girl.
So to a degree, when there was no more "news" or "gossip" in the "oh how terrible those poor people" folks turned on them because it was more news worthy.
Its a bit like eastenders - there is never a happy ending in there, because the public really don't like them! That is why i don't watch the program! It makes me depressed.
I started this thread asking the question - do you think the fact that this is being ressurected by the police indicate that evidence may have come to light that madeleine will still be alive or evidence to lead to her abductors or whatever - rather than inviting a whole dissection into what happened years ago, i am sure what has been said on this thread, has been said ad nauseum over the past years since she disappeared.
