https://news.sky.com/story/madeleine-mccann-search-home-office-to-provide-extra-150k-for-investigation-11553455 She's fuckin dead already
Unless they find new evidence I don't see the point. Suck for the family, but it can't go on forever.
Well its been a decade, they can keep making it go on
Like I've said previously, my heart goes out to the family, but come on: she is almost certainly dead by now. There is an enormous amount of money, resources, and time being, quite frankly, wasted on this. Stop. Use that on someone that actually might still be saved instead.
I think the family would like at least some form of closure and confirmation of her whereabouts even if she may not be living anymore. It's not really too unreasonable, there have been cases that lasted close to a decade or pass a decade that actually did got resolved such as Jaycee Dugard kidnapped in 1991 and later found in 2009 after a separate conviction of a sex offender. There's also Natascha Kampusch who got kidnapped in 1998 and escaped from her captor's cellar in 2006. Perhaps McCann may not be as fortunate, but I think it's not really a waste of resources, and at the very least these continued investigations may actually at least help out in finding similar victims indirectly.
seems weird they don't have a cold case unit that can work on these things without the additional funding required. the problems with these kinds of cases are pretty huge due to it having occured almost a decade ago in another country and the current investigation starting 5 years after the fact.
It's hard to know exactly how much has been spent so far on this case, but various sources seem to suggest between 10 to 12 million to date. It's disproportionate with the amount of resources that the majority of missing persons cases are allocated. It's not hard to see why this case irritates people so much. The McCanns have profited from the disappearance of Madeleine. They made a book deal for fuck's sake. Not only that but the behaviour which lead to Madeleine's disappearance was highly suspicious, most people wouldn't leave three young children unattended on a holiday abroad. A lot of people consider the McCanns outright neglectful, and yet they still receive more funding because their case is so high profile.
No other child in the UK who is still missing has received this. Keep in mind these people also make money off their book.
the reason why they keep getting more money is because the mccanns are actually really well networked with quite a few influential people.
I don't know what to think of this. But the parents... .ehhhhh
The kid is dead and was burried nearby the house...
I don't know about that but it is true that the Portuguese news media always kinda seems to want to spin the story that it was the parents who murdered her
This is so stupid. She's no more special than other missing children yet she's the only one getting this kind of treatment purely because of the media attention. And the parents, as mentioned above, make money off it.
I was in fact near praia da luz at the time and locals believe they saw the parents hiding something beneath the church floor when it was in renovations. I don't accuse the parents of outright murder but they're sure as fuck guilty for drugging her and their other two kids and leaving for dinner with no children.
Kids go missing all the time, what makes this case so special as to warrant that kind of expense, after so long?
Cute white kid with rich parents goes missing in foreign country, local police force accused of incompetence, parents act shady. I'm no journalist but if I was, that sentence'd give me a hardon. I wouldn't be surprised if dropping the case would cause more of a shitshow than wasting millions searching for a corpse.
yeah because the absolute fuckin peach of a mum who wrote this about her likely-dead daughter should be given more publicity: https://i.imgur.com/5r3mBHE.png imagine publicly writing that about your own fucking daughter who may very well be dead?? idk what it is about the mccanns but there's just been something off about them for ages.
The McCanns were negligent idiots at best and complicit in her death at worst. They've made a substantial profit through interviews, book sales etc. I don't think this kind if funding would be best spent on this case especially given how stretched police resources are at the moment.
I will admit I wasn't aware of the book deals and profits they were making surrounding this. That does some things around it and I won't argue on their negligence. Part of me still does want this somehow resolved or given some closure, without assuming further from the parents I want to believe they are still at least seeking some form of finality as well, and even not considering the parents, even just for the sake of Madeleine herself and answering hopefully what really did happen to her.
