More money to find missing girl

Pick of the Week featured his remorse, edited to an extreme degree.

I am sorry to say I felt disgusted by it.

Why, when to any sane degree you are, at least, partially responsible, would you go on a national radio programme?

Occasionally I do actually feel sorry for them, to lose a child must be heartbreaking, to lose one because of your own selfishness can only be soul destroying. But then you think that they have more children who need love and attention and what would be gained by splitting that family up?

But then I think about my own paternal instincts and remember that if someone suggested what they had done on holiday I'd tell them they were out of there minds. No way would my children be left in an apartment on their own.

Insane.

Funds running low.

What do they expect to find after all these years.
The case went cold within the 1st few weeks, They have been blundering through the investigation from the start with not one scrap of evidence found.

Case was red hot until the local plod screwed up the crime scene.

Well, that's what I think...

Also no political appetite whatsoever to Look at it from a fresh but different and difficult perspective. I can understand the reluctance due to the furore that would be unleashed and the limited likelihood of anything being proven. But the ongoing investigation of seems futile when the resource could be better spent elsewhere.

Had they been a council fa.ily in Benidorm, they would have been prosecuted.

She'll crack soon enough.

[Gameface]

Yeah, after 11 years she's ready to come clean!

Don't hold your breath.

Only on her deathbed with a priest in attendance to give absolution.

He's the main player in this grand farce, she won't even fart without a nod from him.

[Gameface]

Don't excuse her. She's complicit.

Because to blame someone else rather than face the horrendous fact that you are partially responsible for the loss of your child is a good coping mechanism. After so many years they are so far down the rabbit hole they no longer see this as a mechanism but as genuine.

Yes its far too late now to start looking at anything other than a total stranger entering a locked room and randomly snatching and carrying a sleeping 3 year old.

I struggled carrying our kids sleeping from the car to the house never mind the distance from Villa to where they were apparently spotted.

Another bit of ££ to fund the investigation

£150k

[Gameface]

Beyond a joke now really. It's become offensive. These are public funds. What new revelation in the case warrants another £150k of investigation?

I can't believe more money can possibly be justified for this, utterly utterly ridiculous imagine if a family from a council estate left their kids asleep then went out on the piss and one went missing would they have all this money thrown at it! Still I suppose if you were a detective and the choice was a London or the Algarve

Every time this thread comes back up to the top of the feed, I do hope, a little, that Kate has decided that it's 'time'.

Fixed that for you.

An utter joke, beyond belief. As you say if it was kid from a poorer background this would have all been forgotten about a long time ago. Somebody needs to countermand this decision immediately as the money would be far better spent elsewhere. If it is changed then, there also needs to be an inquiry as how they have come across this latest 'evidence' and who decided this was an even remotely good idea. The well of public support for this operation has dried up a long, long time ago & I think certain people might well be very surprised at the bad feeling this moronic decision is going to cause.

The girl is dead. It was probably an accident. If she was kidnapped, she would have been murdered because she was too recognisable. If by some fluke she is still alive she won't even remember her parents & if she goes back it will all end in tears. Its a tragedy. The End.

Is there any continuity amongst the people responsible for allocating such funds (or recommending that such funds be allocated)? Have any of those people visited Portugal?
