They probably get withdrawn because some of the comments posted start to get a bit vindictive. I would guess that the site owners do it for their own protection and that of their posters.
'Free Speech' doesn't mean that you can say anything you want without fear of recrimination. |

You have been told. I'm sick of your sniping, if you don't like what i have to say, then why do you persist to come onto my freds? So do yourself a favour and stop trolling.
They could have been removed for a multitude of reasons, and not just because you don't like what's said, or what you perceive. |

I am with you Guinness on this one
This case is not satisfactory... I am think our public have been pretty patient here |
|
By:
There are so many unanswered questions in this case...which are quite legitimate
I hope our plod are going to answer these??????? |
|
By:
I'd like them to answer this one...
Why did you decide after 7 years to make 3 digs close to where the child 'allegedly' was abducted? New info - or just a whim? |
|
By:
I would hope it is new info......
|
|
By:
Well let them say it is, ebul. Why the secrecy?
|
|
By:
that concerns me guinness, if they have really have no idea what happened?
I would like our plod to admit it I hope they are not going to suggest alien abduction next ![]() |

By:
Ahh think that's been mentioned in despatches already, ebul..

Sometimes the evidence is not there to really close a case, it always remains open, suspicion is not enough
I felt that about the Amanda Knox case, despite Italian claims But our plod have been out there for three years, why???? |

If they have received new info, then it's understandable what they do or did. If however it's just guesswork then the UK taxpayers have a right to know. They are after all paying for this.
A year on from this report.... By Robert Mendick, Chief reporter11:53AM BST 15 Jun 2013 Scotland yard has spent two years reviewing all the evidence in the case at a cost of £5 million. The review is understood to have led to the identification of 20 possible suspects and dozens of new leads in the abduction of Madeleine, who vanished from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal six years ago. Met detectives have now requested that the review becomes a full-blown investigation. Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has signalled her backing by agreeing to fund its cost. An announcement is expected in the next few weeks. The Portuguese police led the search for madeline after she went missing in 2007 but shelved its inquiries in 2008 after drawing a blank. However, Scotland Yard began a Home Office-funded review in 2011 following the intervention of David Cameron. Related Articles He had been asked by Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann – who were falsely accused by Portuguese police of being behind her disappearance. A Home Office spokesman said today that the remain committed to supporting the search for Madeleine McCann and have agreed to "provide the Metropolitan Police with the resources they need to investigate her disappearance". Last year the officer in day-to-day charge of the review, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, said his team had identified 195 potential leads. It emerged last month that the review had identified more than 20 people "of interest", including Britons, who have not been eliminated from the case. Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, who supervised the Met’s review said there were a "good number" of individuals who should be questioned. DCS Campbell said it was “perfectly probable” that information which could identify the suspect responsible for Madeleine’s disappearance was already within the Portuguese files. He added: “We have to ask ourselves why are cases unsolved and, on many occasions, we find we passed the suspects by already and the suspect sits within our system. "The purpose of the review was to look at the case with fresh eyes and there is always real benefit in doing so. The review has further identified both investigative and forensic opportunities to support the Portuguese. "There is more than a handful of people of interest which could be explored further if only to be eliminated." Earlier this month the McCanns said they were encouraged by the news that three women who had been missing in the United States for a decade were found alive and well in Cleveland, Ohio. In a statement, the couple said: "Their recovery is also further evidence that children are sometimes abducted and kept for long periods. So we ask the public to remain vigilant in the ongoing search for Madeleine." |

The problem here is I do not think our plod have any new leads
Also for once, I feel the conspiracy theorists, have raised a lot of valid points here but are our plod going to look into these, I suspect not??????????? If Maddie was still alive, she would have no memory of her former life anyway |

|
By:
Some people seem to object that people even suspect the McCanns
..I think the plod would be doing a piss poor job if they did not Nobody has been charged or cleared in this case...so all possibilities are still open So conspiracy theorists have a right to a voice..including the chit chat ones ![]() I think the reason our plod are out there, was an piece of opportunism by Cameron to get some good publicity myself So in fact they have been just looking for new evidence...they did not have it to start with Also the fact that after three years nobody has yet been charged, suggest they have not found it they better hurry up before all the suspects die of old age |
|
By:
Also the fact that after three years
7 years |
|
By:
sorry,yes...but I think it is only 3 years our plod have been involved
the dogs evidence cannot be used in court...I think a lot swings on that if one assumes it is true, reduces possibilities..hmm |
|
By:
Kate McCann offered to take a lie detector test, then changed her mind.
|
|
By:
does not look good....she could have been worries about other questions being asked
about how often Maddie was left alone of course taxi refused to answer the Portuguese police questions either |
|
By:
Hypothetical situation, wouldn't happen to a good parent.
Imagine being out with your wife and 9 friends at dinner. You wife runs back to where you all are, and proclaims that your daughter is missing. Would your friends immediately join in the search? Mine would. The Tapas 9 went home to bed. |
|
By:
You are right taxi...that is what one would expect..join in the search

I think someone like Columbo is needed on this one
Keep popping up at awkward moments asking awkward questions, or just as he is leaving the room, etc ![]() There are quite a few questions which could do with an answer here???????? |
