A Tale of True Blunders – The Investigation into the Disappearence of Madeleine McCann

It's long, and best read as a whole, but a few snippets:

When a child goes missing, there are certain protocol and procedures which must be followed and adhered to. Firstly it must be assumed that the child is in danger or has come to some harm (ACPO guidelines). All efforts must therefore be made to immediately locate the child. This includes alerts to the local and national media, as well as border controls (dependent upon the area). Social media should also be utilised.

That is the very OPPOSITE of what Gonzo wanted to happen, and also the OPPOSITE of what three Portuguese judges also imagine should have happened.

Anybody with any knowledge of criminal investigation who has read the book (I’ve read it three times so far) would be flabergasted. If you were a professional investigator and had made so many mistakes and blunders during an investigation of this magnitude, would you want to write about it? Would you want anybody else to witness your incompetence? I wouldn’t. The first time I read Amaral’s book I was gobsmacked. The media had reported the work of the investigators involved as professional, but reading Amaral’s book left me shaking my head in disbelief. Later events confirmed this.

Quite.

Believe it or not, despite all of this, there are some gullible people, who have neither looked at the evidence objectively, or with any degree of impartially, nor who have sufficient knowledge of how an investigation such as this should have been carried out – and these people have contributed money to Amaral! The fund at present is into the tens of thousands of pounds donation! This is for somebody who failed Madeleine! Anybody who contributes money to the cause of Amaral does not have any respect for the memory of Madeleine McCann. He failed Madeliene from Day One.

Quite.

A lot more than this is covered by the post - including Eddiewoof's interest in food - and I urge people to read it.

I especially urge the McCann-haters to read it and grasp just how wrong they are, and why the rest of the world so detests them.

That is a wonderful post and so very well written too.  Easy to understand etc....

Yes, it's everything we've tried to say ourselves, and more. It's well-written, factually accurate, and logical - that post lays bare that the whole anti-McCann campaign is based plain and simply on lies.

It is indeed based on lies believed by silly stubborn people.

My friends, your words are mine.

A waste of time. They simply don't want to know. They have no conception of what is kind or logical or fair.

The rest of us just take comfort.

There will be no end to this, unless Madeleine is found. And probably not even then.
