Daily Star: Mccanns Dont Give Up Hunt for Maddie

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/431523/Madeleine-McCann-s-parents-urged-police-chief-not-give-up-hunt



Kate and Gerry McCann said they are incredibly grateful to every officer working to find Madeleine.

They insisted there is “still a job of work to be done” by the 31-strong Operation Grange team assigned solely to the case.

They spoke out after the London Metropolitan branch of the officers’ union the Police Federation called for the inquiry, which has already cost £10million, to be shelved.

Threat Chairman John Tully said the Met, which has made £600m cuts and faces another £800m by 2020, could no longer afford to take on “last resort” specialist cases others could not crack.

He said the 31 Operation Grange detectives could ease the workloads of colleagues investigating 14 unconnected murders in the capital since Christmas and battling the threat posed by Islamic State terrorists.

A friend of Kate, 47, and Gerry, 46, said: “It is up to the Met, the Prime Minister and the Home Office to decide the longevity of the investigation – not the Police Federation which has its own agenda.”

Madeleine, of Rothley, Leics, was three when she disappeared from a holiday flat in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007.

Picked up by the Mail. Wonder wha is really going on?

Maybe forced to end the inevestigation because of cut backs would be a sensible way out for an investigation that certainly appears to be going nowehere. Except perhaps round in circles. So the McCanns will be free to continue with their appeals and fundraising and own investigation. The police have only not solved the case and found the abductor because of cut backs.

Strikes me that the motive behind yesterday's Lawton copy & paste was transparent to one and all.
Hence this rapid, emollient response from TM today.

A friend of Kate, 47, and Gerry, 46, said ......

So the McCann "friend" said the Police Federation has its own agenda; the McCanns would know all about agendas, wouldn't they.

Since this investigation has not uncovered anything beyond what is contained in the official Portuguese files, the recent news reports are part of the agenda to distract the public from the expected verdict in Lisbon and the inquest into the death of Brenda Leyland.

Having just re-read the Daily Star article, I'm left wondering just exactly does a "Threat Chairman" do?

This sounds about right to me MaryB.

And therein lies the problem for the McCanns
