Police to spend another £85,000 to find Madeleine.
« on: March 12, 2017, 11:23:18 AM »
Another £85,000 and six more months for the Police  to investigate Madeleine McCann who has now been missing for 10 years.   
The  McCann's have raised fourteen million pounds in the search for their daughter and I wonder why the police are using our money for the search.   I know the McCann's spend a lot of money on lawyers to stop anyone writing anything they do not approve and I wonder what this extra time and money the Police are putting in will help after 10 long years.

I tend to agree - not sure why they are still spending public money on this as the parents seem quite adept at raising funds themselves.

Obviously I feel for them - even after ten years - but I'm not sure this is the best use of public money.

Like Ben, Claudia and many others though - there will only ever be closure if she is found.

Give me the £85,000 and I reckon I've got a better than good chance of working out the "who" and the "where" - unfortunately, its the "why" that seems to create more speculation than the first two "W's".

For anyone who wishes to see it from the Portuguese Police perspective:

Disgusting waste of tax payers money sounds harsh but true...what have they had spent so far £13 million? Im sure Ben Needham never had that amount spent on the search for him...in the beginning 10 years ago when Maddie first went missing i felt sorry for the family until more of the story came out and heard the parents had left all the childer alone at night so they could go out for dinner..this 85K won't find Maddie, too many things about this case sound very wrong to me and sadly it will be 85000 down the drain...

   I would like to know if the McCann's have spent any of their own money on the searches, and if so, how much. ??

   They've pleaded with everyone else for money. Ben Needham's mum sold everything searching for her son. The McCann's

   are still in their own house and carried on with their Medical Practices eventually.

An awful thought that I may regret posting.......as a keen cryptic crossword puzzler I can only see "Maddie" as an anagram of "I'm dead".

I can't help but feel that's the case.

I agree Stuart.  I suspect she has been dead for 10 years now.

  Do a google search on Maddie Fund,and matters relating to Maddie. It's interesting. !!   The McCann's mortgage payments
 
  of £ 2,000 per month paid from the Maddie Fund. The private jet trips to Madrid, Amsterdam,Berlin, Washington DC,

  North Africa, Rome, ect  ect, paid from the Maddie Fund. It just goes on and on. Reports of them being investigated for fraud.

All quiet on this front but Operation Grange is due to close at the end of this month.

Let's hope so.
