Bit insensitive.
Have you read the article? It seems a pretty solid line of enquiry to be honest. Reading between the lines he's clearly a sex offender and was in the area at the time of her disappearance. Not only that he made a phone call in and around the key time she went missing and disposed of his vehicle the following day.
I think (like most people) Bubz is just curious as to why this case rumbles on and on, when other missing children cases don't get anything like the same level of attention. I mean, it's positive for the McCanns that it's still being investigated, but other families might well feel aggrieved.
Standard response ticked off nice and early.
Maybe insensitive, but its pertinent, considering the Government were due to stop funding in March if this year, finding a new suspect a month or so after the cut of date seems a bit....suspect do you not agree??
In that case no ped...

I wanted to write something similar to this but couldn't find a diplomatic way to put it across.
I understand why people would feel aggrieved. I guess there's an argument to be had that this is very much in the public interest to continue with given how high profile the case has become. Not saying I agree with it personally but I am saying I can understand why it's still going on, especially given they are going over what was a bodge job from the Portuguese authorities.

I was hoping people would look at the new lines of enquiry and discuss it. Seemingly not.
It says he's 43 but that's interesting.
That’s what a normal person would do but instead we have whining about how much it costs. Pathetic.
It was just one of those cases that captured alot more attention, and the fact it had so much more exposure will also have meant getting way more leads than other cases, alot of which will likely have seemed very credible, so surely it would have been wrong to just ignore them for the sake of throwing a bit more money at it, it's no different to a 'cold case' that gets new info, but perhaps the Maddie one has just never truly gone cold yet.
Who goes away on a family holiday and abandons their kids for the week? and then to top if off goes out every night and leaves young children in a hotel room on there own while they get drunk.
Pretty much what Penna said. I'd hate to put a number on it but let's say thousands of children have gone missing since. Why is Madeline seemingly more important or worth more resources?
Standard response for a reason.
Thanks.
Why don't you quote me and call me pathetic? At least say it with your chest.
Yep.
Why do you think it got more exposure? What's different about this and the thousands of other missing children who don't get the same level of support?
Oh gawd
Even beyond raising the profile of other cases, their investigations into the McCann case may also have actively generated leads in other cases, depending on how the investigation was carried out. If it involved significant investment in identifying and gathering information from paedophile networks then there would be secondary outcomes that help justify continued investment. I don't think we've heard anything about such secondary outcomes but then for rather obvious reasons we probably shouldn't, at least not until it has played out entirely.
Think it’s coming from Bubz’s inheritance.
You've got me, I can only name it raising more attention to the Ben Needham case off the top of my head, so not by name admittedly, I do recall it offering more exposure to other cases, which can only be a positive.
