The One Thing That Gives Me 'Hope' in this case.

No ! its the fact that the mccanns have had to surround themselves with vultures,who will eventually pick the flesh of their bones and leave them exposed and vulnerable,for the sad creatures that they are.
Carter ruck and the rest couldnt give two stuffs for these people,all they want is their money.So too clarence mitchell,do you really think he is gerrys best mate ? No i dont think so either.
They will run out of money and then they will suffer the consequences which they deserve.I am sure that will happen.

There are a handful of people who know the truth and it must eat away at them, never knowing if that knock at the door will happen.

If the upcoming court cases and the SY review find in the parents favour I will be choked. I was totally shocked in July 2008 when the case was shelved. Since then it appears that justice was never going to happen and we'd never find out what happened to Madeleine. Currently I do feel there is a glimmer of hope. More people are following the case and finding out facts available on the net. Dr Amaral won't give up, I'm sure and Tony Bennett has a court case to face and Pat Brown is suing the parents so there will be a lot more info out there. If you relied on the UK media you'd never know it, but I live in hope that the court cases will be reported.

The Sun and Express tomorrow could increase their sales if only they'd print some facts............... Oops, sorry, I must be dreaming!

Too right!

They sold the T7 souls too.
And those of their relatives.
That's a whole lotta casino chips to put on one number.

The odds aren't good.
And payback time will be cataclysmic for them all.

They know and we know, that they are involved with Madeleine's disappearance, whether she was abducted or not. The McCanns will never be truly happy, because while they may escape prosecution, they know that at some point they will have to face Sean and Amalie, when they learn the facts of this case.

Gerry is so thick, he believes that closing forums which discuss this case, will stop Sean and Amalie from finding out what happened. On the surface, he is saying he doesn't want them to read the lies that have been printed against he and his wife, but what he really means is, he doesn't want them to read the facts of the case, which is totally different, from the fairy tale he and his wife have been spinning to Sean and Amalie for the past 4yrs and 9 months.

At this moment in time, the McCanns have total control over Sean and Amalie, but that won't always be the case. Children have a habit of growing up and remembering bad times in their lives, Sean and Amalie are no exception. It won't be long before their school mates start telling them, what they have heard their parents say. Sean and Amalie will remember their parents version of events and that is when they will begin to put two and two together.

The McCanns will control what Sean and Amalie see on the internet, but they won't be able to control what they see on the internet in their friends homes. Sean and Amalie will be able to access the files and read for themselves how their mother refused to answer 48 questions about Madeleine's disappearance, even after she was told that by not answering them, she was hindering the investigation. There will be lots more information that Sean and Amalie will be able to read, information that shows their parents played a part in Madeleine's disappearance, whether she was abducted or not.

When that day comes, it will be the start of the McCanns worst nightmare, that day can't come soon enough for me. I would just like to be a fly on the wall when the twins lay into them and they will, there is no doubt about it.

Is this Healy/McCann's idea of irony?

Madeleine was essentially given up on when she was abandoned in favour of dining at the bottom of a long, tortuous and unfamiliar garden. Every night.

And that definitely was "not right".

This is the basis for the McCann's whole attitude to this story. It is everybody elses fault but theirs. It is even the abductors fault for taking Madeleine, not their fault for facilitating these actions by leaving her alone.

They could easily have stayed on in portugal and demand that the case not be shelved and would have done so if it were not for their arguido status, imo. They would be still sitting on top of the rock sporting wonderful tans.

But the fatal mistake they made was treating the Portugese like hill billies. They were sure the police would do as they were told. They thought they would be dazzeled like rabbits caught in the head lights of big names and media frenzy. They did not bargain on the fact that they would be a competent, thorough bunch of policemen who clearly cared about what happened to a little blonde english girl.

They have laid the blame at everybody's doorstep but their own. Internet nutters, Amaral, Bennett, the whole Porgtugese police force.

But they left her alone, they lost her, they left Portugal, they refuse to go back to aid the investigation, they refuse to tell the truth.

They and they alone gave up on their little girl, not once but twice. They left her alone in the dark, then got on a plane at the first opportunity to save themselves and left Portugal and Madeleine behind. They are the ones who have given up on her.

Mr McCann said: ‘Sean talks all the time about finding Maddie and what he will do to the person who stole her.

‘They know they went to sleep and when they woke up she had disappeared. But they still don’t understand that somebody took her.

‘When they become aware of this I think they will want to know where we were. And we will have to explain to them that we were having dinner in the restaurant next door.’

I agree that they both had a lot to lose especially Gerry but is it possible they thought long and hard about this and whether they would be able to remain together and for how long they were prepared to stand their ground. In normal circumstances I would say yes, probably they would self destruct before the hue and cry dissipated into a faint wail.

But with the help from "all quarters" it seems that they remain steadfast in their belief that pushing their Agenda (Gerry's words) anything which comes near to bringing them within the reach of the law is dealt with and summarily squashed.

The character of both Gerry and Kate play a lot in this - didn't Kate's mother say she was stubborn and would see things through to the end - I think Gerry is the same - even if they do implode still nothing will be forthcoming that will eventually help solve this case.

Something else I picked up from the Amazon discussion :

Thanks Angelique.....a good find, you clever people amaze me !!1 Rather long, so read half and read the rest later. Unless Madeleine or her body is found, we will always speculate , we can only hope that we live long enough if the solution is found.
