Madeleine McCann: Now the Blame Game Starts

So now after five months and no leads the blame game has started over why the Portuguese police have not found out what happened to Madeleine McCann. Having failed to find any evidence to charge the parents and no other credible leads the case has well and truly stalled.

So to deflect critisism, the Portuguese Police chief in charge of the investigation, Goncalo Amaral, is blaiming the British Police for being led around and fooled by the McCanns. This has led to his bosses firing him from the criminal investigation branch.

Hopefully his replacement will take a fresh look at the evidence and maybe find some new leads which have been missed before. Right now it looks like the trail is cold and we will never learn the truth.

The latest theory is that she was snatched by a an angy employee of the hotel. Although this lead came about after it was sent to Prince Charles's Website, which seams like a very strange place to inform the Police of infomation and does start the, 'Another Loony Lead' alarm bells ringing

Why should we trust the English Police? Are they in any way superior?

That's not the point. This is a portuguese investigation, not a British one. The crime happened in Portugal so it is their juristiction not the British.

The problem with "their jurisdiction" is that the so far only suspects are NOT available for questioning within their jurisdiction...

That's not true...

All the portuguese have to do is make a request and the McCanns will return to Portugal for questioning as agreed. Don't forget, the Portuguese allowed them to leave Portugal, they didn't run away. Since they returned to Britain, no such request has been made.
