Can't claim to speak for the people of the UK as there are around 60m of us but I don't read much about him in the papers. It is reported that he is signed up with Max Clifford, who is a leading PR for film, TV stars etc etc. If he is, he will stand to make a great deal of money through...

[/I] I agree again April4sky. The newspapers started by saying that the results would be back soon and created the expectation. Apparently it is a very complicated process, as the DNA has to defined and separated... one from each other - and there would have been lots of DNA in a holiday...

You are correct in that criminals don't always look like criminals or they would be very easy to arrest. That's what I tell my children anyway. Personally I'm sure that I would have thought Jeffrey Dahmer (?) a nice boy, Ted Bunday very sociable, Fred West an excellent builder and Dr Harold...

Thanks - well researched! It looks like a typical hotel blanket to me as it's the shade of brown that we had in Portugal last year. They always seem to be dull brown ... as I think the managements think that they don't show the dirt. It is a bit large to leave behind on a beach. But it may be...

Second, I'm not an expert on pedophile practices, but the way I understand it from people who do know, it's been said that Madeleine most likely wouldn't have been targeted for abduction by one. Pedo gangs target and kidnap lower profile children who won't be missed, not an English girl on...

I thought that sleuths might like to be reminded of the drawing produced from Jane Tanner's description of the abductor by the Portuguese police by someone who had seen it... All we know from it is that it appears to rule out bald, round-faced men and women.

I thought Websleths might like to know about the case of a Caroline Hogg, a Scottish child, who was abducted from a beach and killed. This case has always unnerved me as I had not realised that there were so many paeodophiles at the seaside. This is from The Scotsman newspaper.... ...

Yes, that was what I thought. If she knew of a 'They' why leave the risk leaving the children on their own? ...However, it still may be a mis-quote so I've still got an open mind on this point

Maybe it's a mis-translation, but I've always wondered why Mrs Mcann shouted: 'They've taken her' - if indeed she did so. If I'd lost my child I'd have shouted 'Someone's taken her ', rather than assumed it was more than one person. It makes me think that the McCanns already suspected a...

The DNA of those charged for crimes in Britain is on record. If the burglar scenario is correct - the 'burglar' may have been Portuguese.... or then maybe not.

It has been stated in the press that she resigned and was sacked around a couple of weeks ago. Depends what view you take. Perhaps she left to spend more time with her family. PR's usually do not say why they left or resigned - as they would not get any further clients either way. If they...

Spot on April4sky! The joke used to be that the 'source' was made up in the back of a taxi, possibly with the help of the taxi driver. Unless the statement is attributed to a person, view it with caution. Even then, words are mangled to make the story read better.

~Yes- I was saying that the fund wasn't a charity, simply because if it were a registered charity then it would have to show what the money was spent on - and it is likely that some of the money will have been used in undercover operations. There is also criticism of the Mc Cann's 'suddenly'...

Most burglars are aware that they leave DNA, which, if the burglar theory is correct, may be why he took her.

She was either replaced or left because she was unused to dealing with press interest on a world-wide scale or it may have been too much to deal with personally. It's a horrendous undertaking and the phone would not have stopped ringing. Also the press are ungovernable - it doesn't matter how...

What is the money raised actually being used for? Not private investigator, right? The website/blog, the poster printings and the bracelet production...but what actual physical act that would track Maddie down is being financed? Other than balloon launches and piper concerts, of course. Am I...

The creche opens early so would the same the creche workers be on duty from 9am to around midnight - even with breaks? And are the creche staff the babysitters? No disagreement that theMcCanns should have hired sitters - I wouldn't as I've never left my children, but the exact...

I think I will wait and see what shakes out on this case. Sure it sounds worse for the parents at the moment but then it once sounded very bad for mr murat and then it sounded pretty bad for the family friend and then it sounded bad for another person and let us not forget the possible...
