AIBU for thinking that whilst I truly hope this development is a positive lead that will result in some resolution I can’t help questioning the timing?

Eh?!

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 03/06/2020 21:20

What is MM?

Croprotationinthe14thcentury · 03/06/2020 21:22

???

Madeline McCann?

BroomHandledMouser · 03/06/2020 21:22

Madeline McCann

JudithGrimes · 03/06/2020 21:23

I thought you meant Meghan Markle!

I am going to be cynical realistic and say that imo it just looks like that they needed to do something so case can stay live.
Quite strong reactions to it explaining how other parents would be probably prosecuted for neglect if they left their child alone in an apartment in different country, like for example Portugal.
hint hint about who is MM

Same. There's another thread going, OP.

TheFencePainter · 03/06/2020 21:24

Man x posted😂

LaurieMarlow · 03/06/2020 21:25

Madeleine McCann. Seems extraordinary to have a lead after this long, but who knows?

Greenleavesawash · 03/06/2020 21:25

Why is the timing suspect? Confused

@wildcherries

Same. There's another thread going, OP.

me 3!

OP at least use her name

480Widdio · 03/06/2020 21:29

@GreenleavesawashThere was already a thread on this,why start another one,the other one has far more replies.Did you even check,so irritating when there are several threads on the same subject.

I will hide this one.

TheFencePainter · 03/06/2020 21:30

Why is the timing suspect?

Because last year in june they were given 12 months of funding. I haven't seen anywhere same this year. Yet

SunbathingDragon · 03/06/2020 21:33

Perhaps they waited until now to maximise the amount of time they had with that spending.

Hopefully there will be an answer at the end of all of this.

mumwon · 03/06/2020 21:34

totally confused I thought chocolate (mms ???)

Greenleavesawash · 03/06/2020 21:34

480Widdio - knock yourself out - I’ve already said I wasn’t aware there’s another thread no need for aggressive tone

I guess book sales will pick up again...

hotubhannah · 04/06/2020 20:27

Some of you are so cynical. OP a was merely being empathetic. This is a tragedy which ever way you look at it. I'm so sad about this case

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 04/06/2020 20:31

@hotubhannah how is OP being empathetic?

hotubhannah · 04/06/2020 21:01

Oh take it back after reading last line 😂

Greenleavesawash · 04/06/2020 21:08

hotubhannah - you can be both you know! Neither is mutually exclusive

I thought differently about the timing. I wondered if the pandemic situation had changed, for example, who might be willing to come forward with information.

Or if the general drop in crime during lockdown has freed up investigative time to follow things up.
