Madeleine McCann investigation 'cost £10 million to date'

lude1962 · 17 Sep 2015 at 12:55

Given that the disappearance occurred in a 'modern civilized' country is the cost proportionate compared other cases eg Timmy MacColl

I wonder how much the charity has recieved, considering the scumbags paid off their mortgage with it?...

Still mesmerises me that they've not been done for neglect.

There was/is evidence Madeleine's disappearance is linked to a European network of human traffickers. On a wider scale finding Madeleine would unravel the huge human trafficking network.

A further 2 million budgeted for next year?
Is this really appropriate use of money? When will they call it quits, and cut the losses?

This topic always seems to bring out the worst in people...

Its amazing how much money you can embezzle from the gullable public in PR, books, tv shows in the pursuit of a lie.

Still, at least they had a nice meal

What makes this case so special?

I can't see her being found and it does seem like a lot of money to spend for the investigation. But you can't put a price on someone's life.

My thoughts exactly, why is this still going?

I understand a parents pain, but all these years later nothing has been found. I'm sorry to say but she's not coming back...

Reminds me of Taylor Hooten the kid who killed himself on steroids... (he was on anti depressants ergo lets be real it wasn't the roids) his father made a foundation around him took donations and sells t-shirts.

Lmao.... and then states on the website steroids are addictive. You couldn't make this **** up.

Yeah because every man on testosterone replacement therapy is like a crack addict needing a fix waiting outside his doctors office anticipating his next shot of the SWEET SWEET TESTOSTERONIESSSS!!!

Y'all got any of that test to smoke in my pipe?

the uk needed their version of OJ?

it seems a bit disproportionate to me - with limited resources how many other children could this money have found instead (whilst still keeping a small investigation going).

It's amazing what media hype can do.
It's pretty unfair method for distribution of such funds

SPG · 17 Sep 2015 at 13:28

This is yet another example of the disgusting state of the UK media. More harm than good.

she's white and middle class ergo of course the government is supposed to spend money trying to find her

The government do that all the time by rationing services in the NHS

Exactly this. I've seen so much evidence to show her parents killed her, accidentally maybe, but they still disposed of her body and have told a blatent lie for too long now. Either way they're disgraceful parents anyway.

If her parents killed her, they did the best job of disposing of her body and creating an alibi in the history of infanticide considering the money spent and size of the investigation...

They also did a pretty good job of not letting the case lie dormant - appearing to do their utmost to keep it in the public eye. Would have to be a pretty ballsy pair of murderers to do that.

Of course, I bet that's what they wan't us to think :rolleyes:

I reckon they rented a boat and dumped her in the ocean. It's what I would do. You know. Theoretically.

White and middle class... I thought we were supposed to be the bad guys?
