Answer 1

I think they are unique in being the only parents of a missing child that refused to answer police questions or cooperate with a re enactment!!!!

Even strangers do not do that!!!

The policeman looks positively heroic against their efforts to hamper the investigation!!!

If they want it reopened all they have to do is go to Portugal and agree to answer the questions and it would be reopened immediately - but do not hold your breath!!!!

And the cop gets small beer compared to the money going to the parents!!!

Answer 2

Well, whichever way you look at it, the book will no doubt sell. If i had nothing to hide, why would i worry. This is a very strange case and the public will be interested in hearing his side of the story, whether he was sacked from his job or not. This story has so many twists, it is hard to know who to believe. I just keep an open mind for now.

Answer 3

I would be disgusted.

Anyone who buys this book is a parasitic ghoul and as bad as the bent copper that wrote it.

Answer 4

What I would feel about it is neither here nor there because you are referring to a specific case.

All those concerned are doing very well financially out of Madeleine's disappearance. It says it all really about this case and all those involved.

Answer 5

I would have to be careful especially if I were that parent that I wasnt being two faced.

Answer 6

Good Luck to the Chap ! How do you know he is not correct

with his surmises ?

The McCanns have been profiteering from the Start,  by the

disappearance of Their Daughter, due to their own Neglect !

Answer 7

'Enough is Enough'

I think the McCanns are profitting from the murdered daughter (done by Mrs McCann) because all they do is go on TV every so often

Answer 8

I will be buying the book. I do not care how much the policeman makes from it. If he feels that events have been compromised then lets hear it. I am not anti macann as such. I would love them to find there daughter but I see double standards here.

Answer 9

If you think that cop is going to make a profit then just wait until you see what the McCanns earn over the next 6 months or so.

I predict a book based on Gerry's blog and Kate's diaries, Oprah interviews,  more one hour interviews on ITV with celebrities,  probably the film they had to put on hold  and god knows how many documentaries.  And every single one trying to hammer home the message that the McCanns are innocent of course, that they are victims in all this.

They will skim over the very important fact that if they hadn't abandoned their kids in favour of a drunken pi$$ up with their mates then Madeleine might still be with them.  They will skim over the fact that they fled Portugal after saying they wouldn't leave without their daughter.    They won't mention the fact that they couldn't get their stories straight or that they refused to help the police.   All in all, I believe the McCanns could earn up to 4-5 million AT LEAST in the next 12 months.  But of course, it's not for them, it'll all be used to find their daughter.

I think the cop will give us an insight into the investigation and exactly what the Portugese police suspected the McCanns of, and why.  I'lll certainly be trying to get a copy.

I just can't understand why the McCanns are not in jail right now for serial neglect.

Answer 10

I would sue him.Its disgusting.

Answer 11

I would be furious (and that is the understatement of the decade!)

Monies earned by the McCanns have been added to the fund to find their daughter.  They are not benefiting financially from the lose of their daughter.

Answer 12

You never know ...it might even give some vital clues about her disappearance which the Portuguese police could have been withholding.

If it helps to find her, then why not.

Answer 13

Since I very much doubt that you know ALL of the anti McC's, stop  generalising. Personally, I think it's all wrong. BUT - Madeleine's parents are apparently profiting from their missing daughter, so they opened the door for every Tom, d**k and Harry who were/are evenly REMOTELY involved in this case to do likewise.  Just watch them popping out of the woodwork.

BTW: If they've nothing to hide, they shouldn't be bothered.

Answer 14

how the h**l can anyone condem this - thanks to their neglicence, the McCanns are now much richer with the help of the find maddie fund, the recent £500k payout from the libel case and believe me, they will write a book themselves.  They are no different to the policeman - just maximising profits.

Answer 15

enough is enough

How gullible are you????

The "fund" paid two months mortgage for the McCanns

Also paid for family members travel and travel for the Mc's to go to see the Pope.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Answer 16

he is just following the parents lead, I for one will be buying his book and I think the reason the book is going to press is to show the world what the police knew, like a big huge P.R job it will be along the lines of the maccanns P.R stunts

Answer 17

They should feel guilty, their daughter is only missing because they abandoned her.

But they will no doubt just be angry as his book is out before theirs, therefore eating into their future profits

The fund has paid several of their morgage payments, as early as june/july last year. Plus it funded lots of new clothes and jewellery, we don't know what else it has paid or where the interest has gone(none has been declared) so yes they have profited.
