Answer 1

I doubt it but does anyone really care anymore.

Answer 2

All part of the Mccann disinformation system ploy. More smoke and mirrors.

Answer 3

Are you more interested in believing that the useless Portugese police are faultless? If so, I'm afraid you're wasting your time!!!

The McCanns ARE in the clear, and the REAL  truth is JUST emerging!!!

Answer 4

For when they are proven innocent.

Answer 5

Actually Paul. I think the papers are making it worse. There are more people than ever, now they have seen the files. Realise the McCanns have more to do with her disappearance than before.All the spin is just falling apart.

Perhaps they should sack Clarence

Answer 6

They are in the clear, Paul.

Answer 7

If you can find any real evidence which implicates the McCanns I feel sure the Sun and other British papers would be more than happy to print it .Until then I suggest that you stick to other questions

Answer 8

Because the press always jump on the side that looks better from others perspective. I don't like them. Anyway what the sun has said is probably c**p anyway.

Answer 9

what is your problem?

Does it really matter what headline a newspaper writes?

Why is it so many of you are quick to knock the Sun and the Daily Mail but when they print a story like this which turns out to be false you're all like 'omg I can't believe the Sun did that!!!'

Surely you have better things to worry about?

Answer 10

i suppose you were happy when the papers were slagging the mccanns off. its a different story when they defend them. not so happy now are you? why dont you admit you were wrong. the mccanns have committed no crime at all.

Answer 11

agree with Roy,

another ruse...........

stalling tactic................

deflection............

Answer 12

All investigations that are unsolved get shelved. The only time they get reopened is if there is a breakthrough. In the PJ's case there is more chance of a breakdown happening than a breakthrough.

The Sun will print what they think sells the most newspapers. There may be truth in there somewhere, but you may have to search for it.

Answer 13

somebody high is being protected

shame madeline pays the price for that protection  

Answer 14

It's called intimidation, spinelessness and the threat of being sued if anyone dares to challenge the Mc's version of events. But hopefully a brave person will break the news of one the most shocking stories ever.

Answer 15

You are desperate wanting the Sun to retract a story. A world does exist beyond the Mc Canns.

Answer 16

are you really trying to be as bloody boring as dave s ?  because if so it's working a treat.  

Answer 17

sadly it's because they will sell more papers  

Answer 18

Obviously  you are in America ,

The papers jumped on this story , why well think about it a minute,

its because its news, This was the couple who thought it more important to have dinner at a nearby restaurant and have dinner with friends and left all 3 children on their own, yes visits were made by various members of the " Tapas7 "  and the mccanns but unfortunatley

sometime before 10pm local time she was snatched, later the Portugese Police made them Arguido's [ Suspects] but now all 3 persons who were made arguido's have been cleared now .

The Sun newspaper are a bit of a law unto themselves over here, they still believe they did it but i say wheres the proof ??????

like the car they hired which they thought their parents put her in the boot and buried her somewhere but no body was found after endless searching, and the car was hired after maddie went missing, so how that became relevant someone please tell me .

If you are american and want more i suggest you go to

The latest news is she may of been stolen to order by a Belgian Paedophile ring . This story certainly sends out  a strong message

regarding looking after your children when on holiday, cos if you are not going to do this then don't have children , Selfish beyone belief .

Answer 19

Why are some so keen to jump on any story  which may prove them guilty of something?.  

Remember the allegations, that on the  night of Madeleine s/disappearance they were drunk, which is now  disproved, by the release of the restaurant re cit , which indicated only a moderate amount of alcohol had been consumed

Answer 20

""As a result, the Scotland Yard tip-off was added to the massive file of evidence considered during the hunt for Madeleine. A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said everything possible was done to follow up the snippet of information.""

Even the Met agree that 'everything possible was done' to follow up on the information.  

I am really fed up with people denigrating the efforts of the PJ.  They have done all they possibly can but their system is different to ours, they don't publicise their every move.  As a result, some people - especially the Pro-McCanns - seem to think they haven't bothered doing any investigating.   And of course, Clarence is using this to the full.  Remember him shouting about the pig farmer and what a disgrace it was that it wasn't followed up - when all the time he had been interviewed at length and eliminated from the enquiry.

As a result of the McCann's media campaign, some genuine information may have come to light but most of the leads they have had have been from publicity seekers, deluded individuals, deliberate fraudsters and out and out liars.  Why, I don't know, but it seems to be a part of human nature to want to get involved in some way - even if you have to make it up.  

The point is, this campaign has stretched the PJ and would stretch ANY police force.  And don't forget that other Forces throughout Europe have been helping regarding sightings in their jurisdictions.  And then, of course, there has been political pressure and diplomatic manoeuvres.  But the PJ have done their best, even cancelling all holidays and working unpaid overtime.  They deserve a lot of credit as the McCanns themselves have only made their job even more difficult.

This story is typical of what is happening in UK at the moment, with  the gagging and manipulation of the UK press.   I think there is a lot more in the same vein still to come out and Clarry will be shown for exactly the clown he is.  

Answer 21

its all a conspiracy to give you sleepless nights
