"FFS! Surely enough is enough? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/12/police-apply-funding-madeleine-mccann-search/ Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have applied for more funding for the search. The Home Office confirmed that it is considering an application from the Metropolitan Police for more money to keep the probe, called Operation Grange, going. A spokeswoman said: ""The Home Office has provided funding to the Metropolitan Police for Operation Grange and the resources required are reviewed regularly with careful consideration given before any new funding is allocated."" Government funding for the investigation has been agreed every six months, with £154,000 being granted from October last year until the end of March. More than £11 million has been spent so far on the probe to find the missing girl, who vanished from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007, aged three. Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, have vowed never to give up hope of finding their daughter. In 2011 the Met Police launched its own investigation into what had happened to the toddler."

My earlier post was very badly written. I meant that abduction is only one possible explanation (among others) Not that there is only ONE possible explanation.

well all we have to do is wait for Gerrys last confessional.

"all the money spent, will be worth it in the end when they find her."

They wouldn't have been able to holiday in Portugal?

"Still trying to find a political angle to Brexit, gavros? Can you really not see a bigger picture?"

Gavros - so it was Nigel Farage wot done it?

Gavros - so it was Nigel Farage wot done it?

"same thing as Brexit. once certain papers are being it it becomes politically an article of faith, sacrosanct."

"The only explanation I can come up with is that a person - or persons - of sufficient authority in the UK - don't want this case solved. ""Why not"", is another matter and where the speculation begins."

Why is it the most likely explanation? Because you don't want to believe the alternative for emotional reasons? Your statement certainly isn't supported by facts. There was NO physical evidence of abduction. None at all. Therefore it cannot be described as the most likely explanation. Only one possible explanation.

"I'd say the evidence of the cavader dogs and the washing of her toy were pretty good evidence personally. plus the ""they've taken her"" plus loads of other shit."

"Well unlike Penners I don't think for a moment that the McCanns were guilty of anything more than trusting that their children would be safe alone while they were at the bar in the same holiday complex. Knowing what we do now about predatory paedophiles, the most likely explanation for Maddy's disappearance is that some warped pervert abducted and killed her. It does seem pointless though to continue investigating this offence at the expense of many others."

They need to buy a bigger shovel !

"I dont see how anyone can come to any other conclusion other than the parents did it. its so obvious its untrue. no evidence of a break in, proof of death in apartment etc"

"Willtell 9:18 Tue Feb 13 Half-decent management of the situation would knock that on the head - unless the management are also in on it, of course. It's obscene now, in my opinion. What reason exists that this one missing child gets preference over any/all the others in the UK?"

Or the police enjoy frequent trips to Portugal at the tax payers expense....

"Whether or not there's anything in any paedophile links, this is a blinding diversionary story that the government can release every time something putting them in poor light looks likely. Very cost-effective PR for them. We're all in it together, don't you know..."

The Grey men run the the whole shebang. And always have

"SCOUSERS, nuff said"

dando was definitely topped because she found out shit about some high profile freaks

Jimmy Saville ran the quality street.. He had so much..on so many ..he was untouchable. .and he knew it.. Same for Sir Cliff Richard. All be revealed eventually..as is life

Gav 12.36 Not wrong there.

Maybe some of the money could be spent educating Kate that drinking during pregnancy harms the child...

Do all missing kids get this much funding and effort?

The shit you'll believe...
