What do the home office gain from extending the search for her though? People throw about the term 'increased publicity' due to the nature of her upbringing but how does that benefit them?

They do use very aggressive lawyers to go after any criticism of them. Think about what happened and then think about little criticism of them has been published, officially, in newspapers here. Quite something. One might argue it's a bit odd how given what happened to them they were so bothered so early to shut down criticism.
It's very sad what happened to Maddie but enough of the taxpayers' money needs to be spent on this. Don't the McCanns' have a trust where they can fund this themselves? As far as I'm aware, there's nothing to suggest that we're any closer to finding out what happened to her.
Sure, you can say there's no limit to the amount of money we should spend if it uncovers the truth of something more sinister, but there's no guarantee we'll ever get that. Where do we draw the line? We're just pissing money away that could be better spent elsewhere on cases that really need the money.

Again though, not necessarily untrue, but what has that got to do with the home office?
The politicising of this doesn't sit too well with me in all honesty.
I think the PR campaign has arguably been tremendously influential in the decision to keep funding the search.
Investigation gets another 150k to continue work
They've been granted another £150K for the investigation.
There's something very strange about this case. There are theories of the parents being predators and that Madeleine was bought before she was born and then raised to a certain age before being exchanged.
Aren't the parents high ranking Freemasons too? and have links to powerful people?

What's this theory based on?
It's awful what happened to her but the amount of money put into this is ridiculous.
If the McCann were guilty of anything more than neglect why would they keep pushing for the case not to be forgotten. The conspiracy theories are way off imo.
No idea why people complain about more money being pumped into the case. A little girl disappeared and has been missing for 11 years without any plausible explanation, they should spend what they need to to get to the bottom of it once and for all.
I guess it's because there are plenty of unsolved missing persons cases, so should they all be given an unlimited budget? Clearly not. There comes a time you have to stop funding it, as horrible as that may be for those involved.
What about all the kids who have gone missing in the UK whose investigations aren't going to get the resources because the McCann investigation takes the money?
Are there any cases as high profile or as baffling?
This is just bollox. Seriously who even thinks this crap up?
A little girl was kidnapped and/or murdered
I hope the truth comes out one day so that the rest of the family can move on. Can’t be pleasant for the 2 siblings growing up with what happened and the rumours about the parents
So the value of a child’s safety is intrinsically linked to how complex and high profile the circumstances of their disappearance?
Idiots
Forget spending on more cases. Stick this in hospitals and you'd be saving lots of lives.
Wonderful assumption that.
No, which is partly my point. Any funding being provided for the McCann investigation is presumably only to win over Daily Mail readers etc. at this point. I hate to say it but after 11 years the child is either dead or not the person she was when she was abducted. There comes a time when the state have to draw a line under it and stop the funding. If the McCanns wish to continue funding investigations themselves, all the power to them.
Stupidity would be my guess.
Is this really a widely held belief?
Can it be anything other than a political decision at this point?
Some Pizza place in Washington.
Of course it can, and unless any of us have or know someone with inside knowledge on the case and the reasons why it keeps getting funded let them get on with it. I’m sorry that other families won’t get their search efforts funded but the McCanns and the investigators keep asking and they keep getting and so they should.
It's a fecking disgrace really. There are plenty of missing kids.
Internet theories.You need to take a wee break from Facebook.
I agree his theory is pretty rubbish.
The truth seems to be she somehow died in the apartment and they covered it up.
This never ending search and not letting it rest is a sign of their guilt IMO.
That makes no sense. If they were guilty, they would let it go, and want the investigation dropped.
Or that, you know, it’s hard to just stop caring about one of your fecking children that suddenly disappeared and was never seen again?
Exactly you would never stop looking or seeking answers .
Can't help but feel they did have something to do with it. But it's important never to assign guilt when it can't be proven. If they did do it, they've gotten away with it.
It's A bloody witch hunt...just look at the baying mobs on social media, full of hate for a couple who might only be guilty of stupidity at least, neglect at most.
Precisely.
If they have done it, they're either total psychopaths or the best actors ever as the police are very good at spotting which grieving family going on TV are likely killers.
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.
So they sold their daughter?

What does that matter?
I wonder how many of those who scream off with their heads, left their child in a Butlins chalet....
Baby crying in Chalet number...
20-30 years ago it was the done thing.
Maddie wasn't an ill treated child. It's just possible that her parents made a huge error of judgement.

It was a genuine question
