A dutch newspaper has been sent details of the whereabouts of Madeleine Mccann

[angeltoangel]

here

and the police are taking it seriously.

Well there's certainly nothing to be served by all this speculating, is there?

God knows we all want her to be found and I don't think any of us can imagine how her parents are feeling, but there's something a little ghoulish about all this amateur sleuthing.

I wouldn't trust the police to do it right,

and i think they HAVE dismissed it too fast.

In the case of paedophile and serial killer mark Derateux (or whatever his name is) the police actully visited his house whilst 2 girls were imprisoned in his basement!! and they didnt find them

they later arrested him over car theft and the two girls starved in the basement whilst he was imprisoned!!

What Im trying to say is just because they police have abandoned the search doesnt mean theres no chance of her being buried there, thay can get it wrong

And yet you are all morbidly fascinated with these posts aren't you?

i have a horrible feeling that she is there.whether they find her now or later,this lead just seems different to me.the letter is spooky and horrible

Now journalists seem to be picking up evidence . It is all a bit weird.

Dismissed what too fast? A letter from a psychic? An anonymous message with a map and a cross. What is this? Treasure Island? X marks the spot. And the journalist with sniffer dogs. Fancying themselves as crime solvers.

No but the same kind of letter led them to the bodies of the 2 other girls last year, so surely they should go and look before dismissing it completely?

Its not from a psychic (some papers say it is) but they dont know who it came from.

It could be someone who knows something.

Did it lead them to the bodies of the other girls? Or was that a news story in the National Enquirer? I understood that they did go and look and found what? A load of hacks with sniffer dogs. And probably a few emails from mumsnet.

I don't think she is buried there (or anywhere), i saw an interview with the old couple who thought they saw her at the service station and i believe it was her through the way they described her and the way the people with her were acting (the little girl asked when she would see her mummy). I would like to believe she is still alive and i just prey that she is safe.

I think the police know what they are doing and they are under alot of presure from the media and public.Lets just let them do their job the best they can.

No, the paper recieved a letter marking where the 2 girls bodies where,

and they were there.

the letter last year lead them to the two other girls the very same day.they believe the man who killed them had an accomplice as a second mans dna was found on them.it is very possible the letter has come from him.i really do think they have discounted this far too quickly.
i agree the journalists with sniffer dogs is a bit odd,but maybe being there,and seeing that not much is being done,they just want to help? is that not possible?

And now the same person has sent a letter saying where another child is? No, don't answer. It's all too silly.

yes why's it 'silly' ?? i genuinely don't understand

from wikipedia ..

On June 28, the bodies of both girls were found in a sewer in Liège, some 400 meters from the bar "Aux Armuriers". On the same day, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf received a letter with detailed information on the whereabouts of the two girls, a letter post-dated June 27.[4]

so someone sent the letter and they went there and found them.

its reported on BBC news ect at the time if you search for it

(thats edited as there were some details that dont need to be known)

and now a letter 'of the same handwriting' (according to BBC24) has been posted to the same newspaper, with details of where maddy is.

but they arent going to search the area

if it's a paedophile ring,is it not very likely that one of those men could be the letter writer?? i don't see why it is felt to be silly

exactly

if one of them has killed her and boasted about it within the ring, then another could easily send that letter saying where she is burried.

Probably not out of conscience - more noteriatity i expect.

Message withdrawn

has the search definately been called off? doesn't say so on the sky news website. says parents are upset at reports of diggers moving in

I dont think they are, Im sure they are doing everything they can.

Its just that if a similar letter did lead to the bodies of the missing belguim girls then it seems odd not to search the area that this letter indicates.

If not to just prove she isnt there iykwim,

people will forever wonder as the media have hyped up this letter so much.

According to this report the 2 girls bodies were actually found TWO KILOMETRES away from where the letter indicated they were. Not exactly that accurate, was it...

(and the letter didn't lead to the discovery - the discovery happened on the same day though ... 2km away)

i thought that when i read it?? but could have ben some sicko watching search knowing where they really were??
