Joan,was just about to post much the same question! re the hire car and who had it before them,but feel certain that the hire firm would have been rushing to provide that info whoever it implicated....unless of course .......?!

TW and Jay

Exactly, so why have they not spent every penny in the fund hiring teams of investigators to look for Madeleine or to immediately discount wild leads?

I think this has been suggested before but Have the Potuguese Police tracked the history of the vehicle from the time that Maddie disappeared ?
Some-one may have hired the car before or at that time and coincidentally the McCann's hired the same vehicle 25 days later....long shot I know but needs investigating.

Sue,
I understand your concerns about the fund.

I have often wondered why, if the family didn't feel the PJ were doing all they could to trace the child, they didn't bring in some "experts" - the fund was there to pay for this.

In my opinion, repeatedly showing pictures/posters only of how the child looked pre 3 May was rather simplistic. No-one in their right mind was going to have her in public view looking the SAME.

There is nothing to prevent the family sending out experts now, especially as they themselves have left Portugal. I have not heard of any plans to do this.

I have had a look at the pics of the buggy.

I can see broadly where Kris is coming from with it.IF her theory is what I think it is (and i WILL NOT say on here) it would tick a lot of boxes with regard DNA/blood.

I think it's something only someone who has been reading from all sources could suss. If I had only been reading from UK media it would pass me by too.

Kris I will come back to you via PM xx

Kay the telegraph says 'It was reported that “biological fluids” with an 80 per cent match to Madeleine’s were found underneath the carpet in the boot of the family’s hire car'.

Lets not forget one thing here. OK the Portuguese police may have given her up for dead, but that is a long way from any kind of confirmation.

We still have a missing child, a beautiful innocent little girl, who could just as easily still be alive somewhere.

Surely when you have such an important piece of DNA matching as in the car, it would have been taken off them immediately.

Or am I missing something?

Sue Report 10 Sep 2007 21:19

If Kris is obsessed then I admit to that definition too, as probably do many others, openly or not.

My obsession is with the fund and the dubious use of money donated by pensioners as well as the better off.

That obsession started the day it was set up.

Yes I follow all press reports and boards closely, yes I discuss theories with other people.

I understand the buggy change theory as do other people.

I don't think for one moment that possibilities shouldn't be explored. Sometimes that may mean sensationalism but counter arguments soon temper some posts.

I don't want to think that parents could be so callous but something isn't right but I remain open to be convinced otherwise.

Not obsessed just not hoodwinked by the British Press - it's called keeping an open mind.
