to Heidi,
it could be there is more to it, maybe the Fourth Estate are playing their own game of cards and there is more to it all than we could in this world imagine. Maybe the best way to help the Mccanns and Madeleine,is, to stop buying newspapers and reading the tripe they put in it, and let the mccanns air their dirty washing(if there is any) in relative privacy. Because by writing anything on a forum and offering ANY opinion on it is playing into the hands of it all. Ok say they did heavily court the media), big OTT shows with balloons and commercial arm bands, not even attempting to knock a few doors to ask of Madeleine,(whilst I understand it is illegal for anyone other than the police to investigate a crime in Potugal; I don't think hell or high water would stop me in this scenario, they'd have to throw the average person in jail to stop them) of course the Media are showing us all this, and if Madeleine is watching, then would she not wonder why her parents aren't out looking for her. She'll see them coming out of mass every day and hear nothing of the parent's actively looking for her, she'll see that they're having fun in the park, happy and smiling without her, them; not even going on television and telling her, "Madeleine if you're watching, we love you and we are looking for you, Madeleine; no matter how long it takes, we will never stop searching till we have you back.I could go on, but this is what I mean, how we all get roped in; it's not my place to judge, but judge we do, one way or another.
