Should the McCanns request that the investigation is reopened?

Question

At the moment, the Madeleine McCann investigation has been put aside and will only be reopened should further evidence come to light.

The McCanns have said they are happy with this decision as their arguido status should be lifted and they would gain access to the police file.

HOWEVER, THE McCANNS HAVE UNTIL 20TH SEPTEMBER TO REQUEST THAT THE CASE IS REOPENED AND THE INVESTIGATION KEPT OPEN.

They have this choice - request that the case is reopened or leave it closed on their missing child.

What are your opinions on this?

Do you think the McCanns will make this request as they've previously said that the closing of the case is a good thing.

Answer 1

I should hope they will request for the case to be reopened regardless of clearing their status that is an innocent child who is out there somewhere and needs to be found!

I mean lets face it, its their fault shes gone (being so stupid and leaving her) so its their responsibility to find her!!!

Answer 2

Why on earth would a pair of murderers ask for the case to be re-opened? They won. They got away with murder. Thats all they care about-themselves. There is no way in h**l they will request for the case to be re-opened, because they know they are guilty and their lives are on the line.

It would be like OJ asking for his Ex wifes murder to be re-opened...i mean come on.  

Answer 3

here we go with the 2 + 2 = guilty nonsense

an amoeba doesnt need to be told that the mccanns are culpable, but their culpability is irrelevant from the point of view of the investigation

the PJs messed up from day one, so theres more chance of finding lord lucan on the moon that there is of those keystone cops achieving anything

you have to laugh at all these people insistent that the mccanns are guilty yet theyre completely empty-handed when it comes to hard evidence.  reminds me of loony religious fundies

Answer 4

What they should do is go back to Portugal and answer the questions that would no doubt re-open the case! But as always the Mc's only do what is there own interests and Madeleine was never one of them. If the rumours I have heard are true the case will indeed be re-opened and some people will be shaking in their lying boots...  

Answer 5

They should get it re opened, any parent would.

I think they will.

Answer 6

It`s all very well to re open it but it would be the same Keystone like cops in charge who could not find a nun in a convent never mind a missing child.

Answer 7

I hear that they had a PI on their case doing thier own investigator through the PI..so that all the evidence and leads can be reexamined and gone through. this is something that the parent have done on their own..how can a case be closed with a child missing in the first place..

Answer 8

If it was me I would request it to be re opened, but with them who knows.

Answer 9

yes i think the investigation should be reopened on her parents

Answer 10

I'd put money on it that they WON'T request the case be reopened.

Would be interesting if Robert Murat did though.

We'll find out next month.

Answer 11

Of course they won't ask for the case to be reopened. They've already allocated £500,000 of the donations to employ "ex FBI agents" to pursue a private investigation, in my opinion knowing full well that it won't lead to anything. They seem to be very good at spending other people's money. Most of those who donated were a lot less well-off than the McCanns.  I wonder what financial sacrifices they have made? None, I suspect. They still live in a luxury home, Gerry has been seen driving around in a new BMW...need I say more?

Answer 12

i think the case should be reopened as to why the child was left on her own in the first place and why social services never seem to have been involved.

Answer 13

They want to close the case as they are afraid people will find out the truth, and they will end up in jail.

Answer 14

They should keep the case open for as long as it takes, I can't understand why they would want the case closed.

Answer 15

I think it should be left open.  However I fear the silence from the McCanns and their "Pooh-Ba Spokes-person"  will be deafening.

Answer 16

The McCanns are only concerned with whatever result doesnt point the finger of blame at them.

If that means closing the case and forever leaving the case unsolved, then they'll go that route rather than risk their own reputation

Answer 17

I would say that the case SHOULD be re-opened but not with that farcicle police force. Perhaps a team from Lisbon should be brought in to it. Proper Cops - Not the Beach Patrol.

If I was Mr & Mrs McCann - I'd want the case reopened but there should not be a deadline as perhaps the new evidence may come to light AFTER the 20th.

???

Answer 18

If it was me i would never want it closed, it would remain open as long as it would be allowed.

As for the McCanns I'm unsure what their motives are these days, they seem so erratic in the whole of this investigation.

I don't feel they would want it reopening at the moment. There is just something not right about their whole demeanor in all of this :)

Answer 19

I have to say well done Mr Murat as he seems the only one seeking an end to this little girls sad demise. I don't on the other hand find it at all strange that the Mc Canns would want it closed for obvious reasons. I would go to the end of my life searching for that girl if she were mine, but then again I'm only human.

Answer 20

I Agree With Murat They Should Keep The Case Open In Case Of New Leads What Is Your Opinion  

Answer 21

I think they were more concerned in getting their arguido status lifted.  They neglected their children, and now one is gone, thats what happens when you put drinking and socialising above your own children's welfare.
