James BryceDETECTIVES investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have flown to Barcelona amid claims the youngster was smuggled into Spain.
It is thought the officers may be looking into one theory that the three-year-old was taken to Spain by a paedophile gang, although officials have not confirmed the reasons for the visit.
The latest development is part of an on-going ‘investigative review’ into the girl’s disappearance in Portugal in 2007, ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May last year.
On Monday, the McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry welcome the on-going work by the Metropolitan Police and they are pleased that the investigative review is making progress.”
Hundreds of possible sightings of the girl have been reported since her disappearance, but all have so far come to nothing.
Hopefully, it will be a positive outcome. However, I wish the media would report on the case if or when she is actually found. There is no breakthrough. This is merely speculation. No answers yet.
Speculation on the whereabouts
of this particular child has become
a constant story over the past
four years. Madeleine is here,
Madeleine is there, Is this Madeleine?
This article offers us no substantial
information. We just know that
the detectives are doing their
job. The only story worth printing
is WE HAVE FOUND MADELEINE MCCANN.
THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS THAT THE WORLD
HAS WAITED TO HEAR or MADELEINE
HAS BEEN FOUND. WE KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER. IT IS NOT THE
HAPPY NEWS WE HAVE PRAYED FOR
BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE A CONCLUSION
TO THIS MYSTERY FINALLY. And I for
one will only buy and read the paper
if or when these are the front
page headlines.
They may also be visiting Barcelona to speak to one of the private detectives who was so active in Morocco when all those ‘sightings’ were reported. He was accused of paying people to invent those stories, and is now doing 18 YEARS in prison for stealing half a tonne of cocaine whilst he was a serving police officer. Another private detective they employed was extradited to the USA for a major fraud, having taken over half a million of the money donated to the McCanns’ fund. When Edgar’s team went to Barcelona to look at the story, they didn’t speak to any of the main characters involved. You couldn’t make it up.
)H, and by the way, it there any update on your exclusive about the Angolan doorman who knows she is in the USA. The one who fled to Spain, and whose link to the story is on this page. Just a thought.
Are you referring to the “Olive Press Exclusive” PM? Or was it the other exclusive?
I feel for the McCann’s. I genuinely
feel every sympathy and pray for them
to get their child home safely. However.
why is it that it is only this missing
child case that gets so much attention.
What about following up leads on other
shelved cases? Why are they not considered
to be important? Is David Cameron concerned
about other missing people? Why is he giving
special treatment to this particular missing
child?
All missing children and adults
are important. Madeleine is of course,
but so are the others and so are their
families. They are suffering just
like Mr. and Mrs McCann.
Never get much of a mention though,
do they?
Is Scotland Yard and special branch
given the big job of finding other
missing, vulnerable people under direct
orders from 10 Downing Street?
I hope this investigation finds Madeleine McCann
but I hope the PM realises that there are many
more cases that his intervention could help apart
from this particular one.
I have finished with my rant now. Good luck to
those who are trying to find M.McCann.
