Will they ever call it a day?

I'm not sure how healthy it is to continue looking.

It is estimated that if the total resources expended in the search for Maddy had been allocated to a central 'find missing children' fund, over 20 British children declared missing since 2007 would now have been reunited with their grieving parents.
How on earth can anyone possibly quantify something like that?!

By using a very limited data pool, some wide assumptions and a 4 function calculator. I can't imagine the "reults" have much validity.

Was exactly my thinking. Actually my thinking consisted of the word "bks" but your explanation is far more eloquent.

Rubbish.

If 30 full time officers can only find 20 missing children in 6 years. They need to get some new staff. The resources are massive on this case, purely due to the media hype.

Due to the media hype there will be several missing children never found.

I'm sure I read somewhere the other day that they had up to 20 new suspects.

So if 6-8 of them are cleaners that leaves up to 14 others.

I seem to recall it was about this time of this year they were due to run out of funds in their privately run limited company....

How useful that new leads have come up so that new donations may come in.

Cynic? Moi?
