Again - i'm failing to see your point.
Every other family with a missing child would feel no amount of money is too much. There isn't a bottomless pit.
It's not a competition. The McCann search isn't using up all of the money.
Exactly on the first point. But these cases aren't as frequent as others are making out - they are usually wrapped up fairly easily, or found there's no crime to answer. Hence the massive interest round the circumstances on this one.
Because they probably had/enough resources on them, which was the formulation of a strategy based on evidence and when weighed against the requirements for funding the McCann case, were deemed not as worthwhile.
When all is said and done, the amazing thing is there's still anything to investigate this many years on. I'd love to know what their lines of enquiry are.
I know, the crazies are coming out of the woodwork last few days
Jeez man. I know rado has a lot of minions on here but this is taking the biscuit.
The line of reasoning for the additional funds is that it’s for a vital last line of enquiry. I’d like to think that there was a thorough decision making process Before providing any of the funds and that it’s done out of the belief that it just might provide more answers than questions.
The point is, 11 years on, no closer to solving the crime - why is the McCann search using up any money still?
You've got me there!
It would be fascinating to know what leads there can possibly be this far on.
It doesn't have to be an either / or necessarily.
Is there any new evidence? Or is this to elongate the investigation further in the hopes of finding evidence?
I didn’t say I didn’t like youI'm a Rado minion? He doesn't even like me mate.
Why don't you like me?
I'm not a doctor but am willing to say a firm no on that one.
Of course, at no point am I trying to disrespect what they've gone through throughout this entire situation.
A lot of compelling stuff and some shite as expected.
From what I understand it’s supposedly an important “last line” of enquiry that they require the funds for.
Isn't that guy a bit mental?
We've had umpteen 'last line of enquiries' or 'hot new leads" and they're still no closer though.
What would the cynical explanation be for them continuing on?
The high profile nature of the case and public interest. No-one blames the McCanns for wanting the hunt to continue, but is there a realistic chance of ever solving this? Will be still looking for a 40 year old Maddie in 25 years?
Surely a lot more gets taken into consideration by the person/s responsible for providing the money though. At the end of the day it’s money from a budget of some variety and has to be justified.
I don't know, to be honest. Found it through Reddit. You can tell which bits are opinion and which are based around the facts of the case though. Even if you dismiss the opinion and pseudo psychology, a lot of it is still quite strange to say the least.
I guess no-one wants to be seen as the guy who turned off the taps to the funding of the case, given it's profile.
I imagine we will see the results of that one day. It really is an extraordinary case.
Beautiful blonde blue-eyed child from a middle-class family disappears without a trace while the good-looking parents are engaged in typically relatable middle-class activities (on holiday at a resort drinking wine with friends).
dear god
