Portugeses police didn't call in the British Police it was the McCanns who did that when they got back home.

Where is the question 'what is so special about MBM?'

The correct question is 'what leverage is being exerted?'

It's a wonder one of the TV clairvoyants don't offer a clue. Here, there, dead alive.
There's been a notable silence from them :-S

David you must watch a lot of American TV to know about the Psychics

supercrutch Report 28 Mar 2018 13:47

A number of psychics have popped up over the years, about 15 that I can recall.

Everything from MBM told me where she's buried so dig here X marks the spot to I'm living with a lovely family who look after me so be happy and everything in between.

Then we have the inventors with magic machines who can pinpoint the burial place and remote viewers who claim to be able to do the same.

All filed under *nutters* IMO

Sue, I did see one TV programme where American detectives were assisted by a Psychic.

It would be nice to have a 'happy ending' - just like children stories.

Linda Report 28 Mar 2018 15:53

I don’t think there will be a happy ending sadly David someone somewhere knows what happened that evening in May 2007, in my opinion her parents or one of their friends knows something but I don’t think she will ever be found and the money from the home office is money that could go elsewhere

There hasn't been a happy day since she went missing Linda.
I think she's either dead or abducted. If the latter she could be anywhere.

The question was in the opening post, supercrutch. "Why is this little girl so special?"

The most obvious answer is she wandered off and fell into the harbour. But the conspiracy nuts can't leave it alone. Tinfoil hats all round.

Aah thank you.

Well TBH if the specialist dogs Eddie and Keela, who had never made an error, hadn't indicated both blood and cadaverine you may have a point.

Or maybe they just alerted to coconut. The police aren't convinced as to their reliability.

The trainer himself said mistakes happen. And his licence wasn't renewed.

I seem to recall the child was sedated with a sleeping tablet before her parents went out and they would presumably have loved the door,

I seem to recall that too that the children were dosed up with calpol so they wouldn't wake up to find their parents not with them!

I didn't know anyone was slated for giving their opinions on here.

We are all entitled to our opinion aren't we?

The only people I feel sorry for in this whole case are all the children because none of it is their fault and the surviving siblings will have to carry this sad thing with them for the rest of their lives even though they are too young to remember the event, with it still being in the news etc, those twins can only keep wondering what happened to their big sister.

Some missing children seem to capture attention, though not many attract as much money from the authorities as Madeleine.

We have a child here, disappeared in Victoria in 1991. Michael's mother was playing in a pick-up game of soccer, Michael was playing in the close-by children's playground with other children, and someone watching out for them.

He disappeared in the space of a few minutes, and no sign has ever been found of him. His disappearance is still considered an open case of abduction by the Victoria police.

Every weekend close to March 24, there is media attention, his parents are interviewed, and there is a walk in Victoria to raise attention to him but also to raise money for a local Child Find Fund.


It is similar to Madeleine, in that the parents are keeping his name in the public eye ............. but also his disappearance at the time captured to attention of the public, so many of us say "oh is it that time of year".

David Report 28 Mar 2018 22:29


ALL that money hasn't been allocated to the child's parents, it has been allocated to the Police working on attempting to find Madeleine. (?)

He didn't apply to have his license renewed in the UK as he was employed in the USA.

The audited accounts for the fund are available online.

On Y** T*be there are several discussions regarding M Mc and her parents.

Without them saying so there seems to be much suspicion directed toward the latter.
