And I'm wondering what difference it makes?
There must be a reason you're asking; the suggestion seems to be that this case is more deserving of infinite funding because it's high profile/weird.

It really is quite incredible that despite all the exposure we're still none the wiser.
Can't even begin to imagine what this must be like for the family.

Both are Roman Catholics, and while the Freemasons do have catholic members nowadays it is highly unlikely any are 'high ranking'.
The weirdness of it and lack of explanation to me justifies it being high profile, and if the family and investigators keep getting told “yes” when they ask for more money then all the power to them. As morbid as it seems, the strangeness of a case and the profile of it is a justifiable reason in my eyes for why it receives funding and others don’t.
Wtf. Why not continue to throw out other theories since the facts don’t seem to matter anymore
So the people whose missing children didn't capture the imagination of the country can just lump it?
The case being funded more and more is ridiculous.
Do you genuinely believe that they sold their daughter as a sex slave?I don’t use Facebook, it’s just a common theory I’ve come across over the years.. like the 9/11 theories, Sandy Hook and so on.
If I remember correctly there is factual information that 2 high profile billionaire paedophiles were in the local area at the time.
The parents of Madeleine are also good friends with a guy called Freud, he is allegedly a well known paedophile that owned a villa 1/3 a mile from the area and was being used by the said 2 billionaire brothers at the time.
Quite the assumption you’re making there
That's the same nonsensical response you gave Pexbo. It's literally the only interpretation of what you're saying.
You think it being high profile justifies the continued funding whilst other cases don't get the same.
So why did you seek any clarification from me?
Your clarification cemented the point, the question was to give you the opportunity to explain yourself better on the off chance you hadn't made it properly.
In my mind it’s justified and it makes sense as to why it keeps getting funded over other things.
Yep if they were really innocent they would have quickly put out a statement asking for everyone to stop searching for their daughter, requesting the police to end the investigation as soon as possible and offering a reward for any eyewitnesses to stay away. That would be much less suspicious.

Which means you think the less high profile ones are less deserving, but when that's pointed out you start going on about assumptions.
@Pexbo @Rado_N
The nature of the disappearance, where it happened, the complete and utter lack of credible evidence pointing one way or another is what separates this from other cases. Money has been continuously made available, and rightfully so the family and the investigators take what’s given to them.
I don’t envy the job of whoever it is that signs off on these decisions and I sympathize with the families who have their own people missing but seemingly don’t have as much backing from the authorities. I’m sure resources are still devoted to these other cases, and if they were as high profile and as much of a headscratcher then I’m sure more money would be given to try and help find a solution.

So to clarify @Arbitrium, you do think there is more justification in giving the McCann case money over a more recent missing persons case?
Depends on the recent missing person case and how much additional resources it needs to reach a conclusion.
My deepest sympathies to them but the investigation shouldn't get another penny. It's disgusting how much it has had already in comparison to many other similar cases.
If the McCanns want to they can continue with private detectives. I'm sure they would receive plenty of cash if they set up a GoFund me page. (If they haven't already)

Sorry to say it but the girl is long gone, if they want more funding they should put the money up themselves.
It's honestly disgusting that they've been given almost £12m since her disappearance given how many children go missing every day ffs.

Is that happening? Are there other missing children cases which legitimately need more funding that are being turned down because of all the money spent on this investigation? I doubt it.
Almost invariably, the new cases have a higher chance of being solved.
How many children are abducted a year?
That's outrageously stupid logic.
If you were guilty, the last thing you would possibly want is it keep bein brought up. You'd want it to fade away as soon as possible.
And dedicated personnel trying to solve them.
Absolutely.
It’s almost as if some people haven’t quite grasped the unique circumstances of this case.
I bet those same people wouldn’t bat an eye lid at the amount of money spent trying to solve the D.B. cooper case.

Abduction is hard to pin point an exact number since you need clear proof of abduction, otherwise it's classed as a missing person but, 100s of people go missing every day.
For a reason.
What price would you put on trying to find out what happened if it was your kid out of interest?
Educate us.
I’ve listened to several true crime podcasts on the case and they all concluded that the evidence available points towards the parents being involved, and listening to them it’s hard to disagree with what we know.
That is the opposite of logical.
You seem to have eased on what sounds like tonnes of children in your first post, to suddenly there's no number on it, and now it's "people", not children.
I'm sure you can understand the difference between adults and children going missing.
How many children going missing can you specifically name in the last 5 years?
Care to summarise briefly this evidence?
Aye, 100s go missing every day and they still have people working on them.
Well it’s known as the most baffling missing person case in modern history. Don’t really have to go into detail.
The same number of podcasts promote flat earth theory and other conspiracy theory nonsense. People who listen often find them hard to disagree with.
Figured as much.
So curiosity is a deciding factor?
