Welcome from Admin!
Welcome to all of you!

If you have managed to get this far you have done very well!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to The Missing Madeleine Forum. I would like The Missing Madeleine forum to be a friendly and welcoming place to all who manage to get here.

In order for this to happen I need to set out a few rules as a starting point.

1. Please do not spam the boards. Spam includes linking to other websites for personal gain, writing posts that are unwarranted or contain items that are unrelated to the original post. If you have something to say that is not related to the topic in hand please start another thread.

2. Racism or anything related will not be tolerated on this forum. This includes any jokes related to a particular race.  

3. No links to other forums are to be posted without consent from Admin.

4. Targeting other members in an aggressive or malicious manner will not be tolerated. If any member is found to be breaching any of these rules, their membership will be revoked and their ip address will be logged. If any member thinks any of the above is happening please PM Admin.

5.  Members who come in and continuously lurk without posting any comments will be monitored closely.  If they continue to lurk then they will be banned unless another member has recommended them and know who they are.  I apologise for having to take this action but due to a few nasty guests who find it necessary to come into the forum to take comments and private information and post them on other forums for ridicule I am sure you will understand that I am taking this action for the good of all the trusted members already here.

Thanks and please note - Admin reserve the right to update or change these rules as required.

Hunt for Madeleine McCann could be over THIS WEEK: £12m probe may CLOSE after funding blow

THE £12million British police probe into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann could be shelved this week.

By Jerry Lawton / Published 25th September 2017

Funding for the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Grange is due to run out on Saturday.

Officers have applied to the Home Office for an extra £90,000 to keep the investigation going for another six months.

Policing minister Nick Hurd was expected to sign it off but Home Secretary Amber Rudd has reportedly got involved and no decision has yet been taken.

If the Met’s bid is rejected it is likely the four-strong team of detectives still working on the case will be wound down.

Scotland Yard could pay the sum from its own budget, but the force has suffered severe cutbacks.

Police union officials have called for the McCann inquiry to be axed and funds redirected to protect London from crime and terrorism.

If the probe is halted it would be a bitter blow to Madeleine’s doctor parents Kate and Gerry, from Rothley, Leics.

Sources say they would dip into a fund set up shortly after their daughter vanished in Portugal in 2007 to pay private detectives to carry on looking for her.
But that cash pot – funded by public donations and the proceeds from Kate’s book about the case – has dwindled.

The couple also still have to pay Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral’s legal costs after their bid to sue him for £1m in libel damages failed.

A source said: “If the Home Office doesn’t come through with the extra funds, it would be a blow.

“The police obviously believe there are still active leads to be followed up and progress to be made.

“It would be extremely frustrating if funding was to dry up without the inquiry being allowed to reach a conclusion.”

A Home Office spokesman said recently: “The Metropolitan Police has made a further application for funding which will be considered.

“They have needed to justify what the money would be spent on.

“The Home Office has provided funding for Operation Grange and the resources required are reviewed regularly with careful consideration given before any new funding is allocated.”

The last cash injection came in April, with £85,000 to keep the current team working until the end of this month.

A Met Police spokesman said: “The inquiry has not reached a conclusion and we’re continuing with focus and determination.”

An announcement from the Home Office is expected this week.
