    Maybe they needed the full support of the U.K. government, maybe the U.K. government became aware of the agenda of the failing local police, maybe the information from these conspiracy theory websites are more about promoting the websites than getting to the truth, with this new lead the truth will likely come out at some point and the McCanns will maybe be seen as the victims of a paedophile

    Maybe the conspiracy theory website you got your information from is wrong, the new development may give us the answers once and for all

    Which information is wrong? That they refused to answer questions? Or that it's in the official police files that two witnesses have official police statements confirming what they had witnessed from one of the McCanns holiday friends?

    The local police and authorities had a multi billion euro industry to protect , at some stage their focus went from finding Maddie to protecting their economy, the McCanns had lost all confidence in the police’s competence and motives and were using other private means and agencies to try and locate their daughter, agencies who were actually looking for her daughter instead of trying to divert attention away from their failings.
    The truth may at last come out about what happened with this new lead and maybe we’ll see and end, may be bad news for closeronline.co.uk’s advertising revenue

    They may well be but 6 adults, one turn each at babysitting the kids and 1 night where they either pay for babysitters or eat with the kids
    It really wasnt a difficult parenting scenario.

    And why not answer those questions, any of them , in order to rule yourself out.? I think it was some young relative of Ben Needham who put himself through hypnotherapy because there was a theory that he'd knocked Ben over on his motorbike and then concealed it. He wasnt even a parent yet prepared to put himself through that What about the moors murders, Winnie digging on the moors to try to find her sons body. There was a lot more the McCann's could have done but chose not to, for whatever reason.

    Those 48 questions were in all the media, Google it and you'll see.

    Regardless of the motivation of the police do you believe it is good to deliberately stall the investigation?

    But would a couple from a council estate get the same help from the government for this length of time somehow I don’t think so

    We know they wouldn't. They wouldnt have the clout to pull in favours, it's very much who you know.

    The local police were hampered by the media circus and the fact that by the time they'd arrived the crime scene had been trashed. In the 43 minutes after Kate raised the alarm it seems they'd set locals and residents looking for her, sat and discussed what to say to police (using a child's colouring book) and tipped off the media. The Telegraph were there in record time. They then called the police who upon arriving realised that the entire group had contaminated the crime scene, including people like Robert Murat. In the end the police realised the apartment, including doors, handles and windows had been cleaned down and the only prints lifted were Kate's.
    I've seen results of similar print lifting exercises on many many occasions you'd expect to lift plenty of partials, inconclusive and latent prints from any home. You're just hoping for someone who shouldn't have been present. That was the reason Mr Murat was initially of interest.

    Not the normal missing child situation by any stretch.

    The motives of the police were very important, the McCanns cooperated with the police in the beginning, it was weeks into the investigation most likely after political interference that the focus of the investigation turned from finding Maddie to apportioning blame, the McCanns were using a different agency one focused on actually finding their daughter, there was little chance of police finding someone they weren’t looking for.
    If there is evidence of the McCanns involvement in Maddie disappearance why haven’t they been extradited, or do you think the local police would rather it was all just forgot about?
    This new lead could open a new can of worms for the Portuguese authorities, just like the Yorkshire ripper case exposed the failings of the West Yorkshire constabularies failings

    It's evidence that they cared more about their own wellbeing than finding their daughter.

    had the complete opposite effect on my kids. They would be on death doors one minute and then tearing the house apart the next. My son was a bit hyper when he was a young un and calpol contained some of the E numbers we tried to avoid.

    They were 100% focused on finding their daughter, which is why when it became apparent that the police were no longer looking for her and were focussed on something else they turned to another agency to actually look for Madeleine

    Isn't it common police practice to rule things out? They deliberately made it extremely difficult to rule themselves out. They chose to harm the investigation so they could save their own reputation. Didn't care about finding their kid who they admit to drugging so they could have a holiday without her.

    They certainly got what they wanted

    As I understand it, without a body it is very unlikely you can secure a conviction. If it is this German, why on earth would he confess?

    The Macanns never co operated with the Portuguese police, they wanted to do things to suit their own agenda. People slag them off, but all the money the private and met investigation have had and they've drawn a blank and that is when they've only concentrated on the theory she was abducted from her bed.

    The Madeleine case captured the public imagination a bit like Captain Tom’s walk, it was front line news, this then becomes something politicians become aware of, should the McCanns have refused public and government help in finding their daughter, what would the conspiracy theory websites have made of this if they had turned down help in finding their daughter? we could in the coming months finally get to the truth

    No of course as a parent you would accept the help. They physically chased the money though, right from the off when they set the fund up. And that to me is a weird thing to do.

    Initially they did cooperate with the police, until it was clear the police were no longer looking for Maddie, their agenda was finding their daughter as they knew they weren’t involved in her disappearance, the police and private investigator’s don’t always succeed, Sutcliffe was interviewed and released multiple times before he was caught by accident and confessed .
    The truth will come out one day
