Madeleine McCann investigation

I saw today that possible excavations are to start in the resort where MM went missing.

Does anyone think the progress The Met have made is astonishing given the length of time that has elapsed? I can't help but wonder what progress could have been made if they had been involved at the start.

I really hope that somehow they can find out what happened and give her family some sort of closure. I know the ins and outs of what happened and her parents leaving her have been discussed at length on MN but from a crime point of view I would be very interested to see if the Portugese police had done enough or not.

This is a discussion, nothing more, nothing less.
The fact remains that she is still missing.

So people can discuss how they like about it imo.

Calling people ghouls sabrina isn't on

Sabrina the posting I found most ghoulish is your own of 19:16 this evening.

Missing children are news, as they should be: April Jones, Hollie and Jessica of Soham, Ben Needham. Sadly two of those cases had tragic outcomes and another one is still unresolved.

"Thread deleted because, well, it turned into a bit of a bunfight"

Its a common one. Mn let the thread stand, the defenders get all pissed off at it so come in and pick a fight. Well done. Again.

The blind believers don't like it being questioned because they know there's a lots to answer and they can't.

Yes! Because I put into words what the pj files are all about. People just thought they were being clever by saying the 'pj theory' or whatever- but that's what it is. That's what this whole thread turned into.

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:15

It's a sadly familiar pattern, not very original any more

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:16

But who turned it into that Sabrina?

EffectiveCommunication · 09/05/2014 20:16

Still catching up. If these dogs can smell blood did anyone consider maybe Kate was on her period at the time?

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 09/05/2014 20:17

You did costa.

CatsCantTwerk · 09/05/2014 20:17

I understand MNHQ do not want to be Carter rucked but I'm sure in a few days/weeks/months time there is going to be so many threads about this case and a lot of shocked readers when it happens.

AnyaKnowIt · 09/05/2014 20:17

I thought it was turning out to be a bitch fest of British policing

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:18

Yes I think you'll find that has been considered - I'm not sure why the dog would alert behind the sofa and in the garden if that were the case though?

LaVolcan · 09/05/2014 20:19

I suspect that a lot of police files would be 'ghoulish' if we had access to them.

I don't recall the stuff I have read in the press about Max Clifford in the past couple of days being a pleasant read either, but it was still newsworthy.

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:19

Really? I think perhaps your mind is playing tricks on you Sabrina but this is the last post of yours I will read or respond to as it is not possible to have a rational discussion with you. Goodnight

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 09/05/2014 20:19

Didnt you say you hadnt read the pj files sabrina? Sorry if you didnt , cba to go back and read through!

Deux · 09/05/2014 20:19

Sabrina, the PJ files are much more than that!

Seriously?

I'm guessing you haven't read anything in them, even the stuff by the fine upstanding British cops.

DD 15 was asking questions about MM today (not something she has ever really done previously)and in part thanks to this thread I was able to say well.....there is this theory and certain things were meant to have happened or just didn't correlate but really you have to keep an open mind (as I do) and her comment on various points raised in this thread was "I can see it being spun both ways"

To my mind that's what this thread has been,an open discussion regarding an emotive subject that should not warrant deletion.
Costa has put forward some interesting points that I as an adult can evaluate in my own mind and I thank "her" for that.

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 09/05/2014 20:20

Goodnight costa - ooh - do PM me though

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:20

I think we may all remember your post in the near future Cats

CatsCantTwerk · 09/05/2014 20:20

EffectiveCommunication

The dogs detected cadaver (dead body) not blood.

Deux · 09/05/2014 20:21

Carter-rucked, love it. Whole new verb.

Or is it cockney rhyming slang? Arf.

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:21

Thank you gardener it's appreciated

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 09/05/2014 20:22

Two dogs - one cadaver dog, one blood dog

Costacoffeeplease · 09/05/2014 20:22

One dog detects blood, the other cadaver and blood that's why they work together
