I know what you're saying there,it would be lovely to live somewhere with such a low crime rate but the price you'd have to pay is that in the unlikely event that a child is abducted the police have no idea how to deal with it,fail to construct a thorough enquiry and the parents may never know what happened to her.Never knowing where she is,what's happened to her and having to live out the rest of my life like that,to me,would be worse than being told she was dead.

It also said on the news today that the apartment hasn't been used by any other holiday makers, and is being kept as a crime scene.

The McCanns were interviewed together today on the BBC, and said they were hurt by all the speculation that they are somehow involved with Madeline's disappearance because of this new information about what may, or may not be, a blood stain. The simple fact is we simply do not know.

i agree fully, its just sad that our police seemed so "experianced" at everything, and then we get people telling us that the prisons are full, sounds like a cant win, cant win situation.

They seem to be saying one thing in the newspaper and another thing on the news don't they? You're right,we don't know anything.

I think I tried to say that rindy, but some folk choose to ignore anything that doesn't fall within their flight of fancy.

I would much rather live in a place with less crime as I am sure we all would, just a pity they didn't send more experienced police in sooner

I've mentioned on here before how my then eighteen year old cousin was murdered in Bolton-le-Sands fourteen years ago. He was murdered at home when he came home from school, and one of the hardest things I remember about that sad time was all the speculation and innuendo, both in the press and by people who didn't know a thing.

Less I don't know what happened but I will await the official report because none of us know.

I agree untill they get the results it is best left alone.

What Garinda has said falls well within my flight of fancy.What he says is true,we don't know the facts,especially as it appears that the papers tell us one tale and then they say the opposite on the news.I also agreed with you on the point that the 'blood' could be anybody's

I understand what you're saying.Gossip must be hurtful for the families in criminal cases.

So unless you thought I meant you, (I might have done but I won't tell you), what was the need to reply? We can all agree and go to bed knowing that the results will be published as soon as possible leaving us no need to speculate or theorise.

I knew who you meant,I'm very intuitive.I agree,we should stop speculating now.

I see you haven't gone to bed! (Tomorrow comes so much quicker if you do).

You're right, just because I saw something on the TV, doesn't make it any more of an accurate report, than what you read in the newspaper. All of it is speculation, and we only get to know what they want us to know anyway.
