It was Calpol, was it not?

I am by no means fans of theirs but it wouldn’t have been the first time a parent gave a child a spoonful of Calpol to try to get them to sleep

I don't know about Calpol but there was defo a rumour about the giving something a little stronger than Calpol.

We always gave our kuds Calpol,but only if they were ill or teething. Never 'to get them to sleep.'

What not even so you could get them asleep so you could fuck off round the corner with your mates to have dinner and a few glasses of wine

I don’t think I knew that but I have been surprised in the past by GP friends and their ‘easy’ approach to taking and offering medication

Well we do live in paradise, so there's nothing more important to spend that kind of cash on!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46196238

£11.75 million has been spent on this case. 

 

Now youbknow for a fact not even 0.000034% of that would have been spent if it any of those on here who have kids. 

 

And why why are they getting government funding? Is this normal for a case of a missing British child?

[Anubis]

They’ll be applying for another £150,000 in March, and will still be no nearer to resolving the case.

[Tyler Durden]

I've watched a lot of the armchair detective videos on YouTube now and despite the fella being a bit of a biff a lot of the stuff in them PJ files is seriously suspicious. Deleting mobile phone calls in the hours after shed gone missing, lunching with a  now dead paedophile who didn't live far from their apartment a couple of months after her disappearance, washing Maddies teddy. All just seemed a bit too suspect.

 

I've always thought a lot of the strange behaviour was down to them lying because they were getting hammered every night and neglecting the kids, not so sure now.

[Rico1304]

Yes, keeping the case alive and in the international news is exactly the behaviour you’d expect if they killed her.   

[stringvest]

So the body was in the missing shed?  It gets murkier and murkier

[Creator Supreme]

Is it normal for government funding to be received in these kind of cases? Genuine question.

[Anubis]

Well, the police are funded by both central and local government so I suppose you could say it’s the norm.

[Creator Supreme]

Sorry, is it normal for extra funding to be given? Which this appears to be.

It's the perfect cover. Happens in Columbo all the time. And the people in Columbo always get away with it.

[Trumo]

So much money has been invested into this one specific case, and it has been very high profile right from the start. The McCanns and various others have been astute in making sure it remains so.

 

I have a feeling that the police are not really any closer to solving it than they were all those years ago but because it's been kept in the public eye, they can't just deem it to be a cold case like they probably would have to with other similar cases that didn't have this sort of publicity behind them. They need a result from all of this.

 

A key question to ask is: Has the amount of publicity, money and manpower dedicated to solving this case been to the detriment of other similar cases?

Like Columbo you know who did it from the off.

How's the mum looking these days?  Has she hit that sweet spot just before the inevitable morph into a Terrahawk?

[Bobby Hundreds]

I reckon it was suicide the miserable little bitch.

 

Seriously though my mind would eat itself if it was my kid at the thought of what happened to her and if she was calling for me. It would be a constant mental torture. I don't think there could be many things in life that are worse.

Madeline told her mum on the morning of the day she went missing that she had been crying and calling for her the night before, didn't seem to torture her too much though because she still went out that night.

[Bjornebye]

Imagine if she ever turned up safe and sound. That would be one seriously mental story. Then she refuses to go back to Kate and Gerry because they neglected her. I know its been said loads but a less well off couple would have been hung drawn and quartered for living their kids alone.

To answer your question, courtesy of an Australian source, it appears it comes from a government fund used to grant police forces money where they’re incurring a special expense over and above their normal budget.

They lost her, they should pay for it themselves.

There speaks a man who's never got a papercut before attempting to eat a packet of salt & vinegar chipsticks.

Jesus christ. You should get a job at a Japanese WW2 concentration camp.
