When will it be time to let go, move on and mourn for the loss. Whether they're dead or simply not coming back? If they do turn up, it's marvellous but searching for 14 years will do nothing. The world is a huge place, within a year the missing person can be literally anywhere on the planet. It would be like trying to find a specific grain of sand on a beach. It would send the searcher insane. It would be better to accept that they will probably never return and begin the healing process.
A bit premature for the Mcanns to give up yet, but a time will come.
My thoughts exactly. The tabloids love this kind of story as well. Any opportunity to produce large banners, posters, balloons, etc with their name and logo on to be displayed on televisions around the world is £££.Father Ted said:While they are so busy fund raising, making sure she isn't forgotten etc. etc. it stops them having to sit down and face the cold hard reality that if they'd done their job as parents correctly she wouldn't have been abducted in the first place. May be it's the only way they can deal with the guilt.
I feel sorrow for them and anger towards them in equal measure.

I find that figure incredible though.

sniffy said:It has never been 'cool'. People are just highlighting and quite rightfully the fact that if the McCanns hadn't left their children alone whilst they went out, she wouldn't of been abducted.
