under the carpet? Seems to me like Clarence is going to have to pull another rabbit out of the hat.

Still Gail Cooper got her 15 minutes of fame and a free trip to Portugal.

And the McCanns succeeded in wasting even more police time by trying to throw them off the scent with this ridiculous story that only the Pro McCanns could have believed was true.

I predict we will not be hearing a statement from Clarence apologizing for labelling this man a paedophile.

Edit - Pat R. Thanks for addressing the question.

I just think they are not a very likable couple I wouldn't say they were guilty of anything, no evidence to say they are. It's a shame they and their friends and family have conducted themselves the way they have, had things of been different maybe they would have more support and sympathy. A good start would have been to have admitted their mistake at leaving the kids alone instead of saying it was normal behavior, they made a lot of enemies I think because of this and people are confusing their anger at this with thinking them guilty.

Made Gail a bit of pocket money thought didn't it?

what biased and nasty journalism

could they paint a worse picture of this INNOCENT man

- surrounded by feral dogs, ramshackle home etc

the mccanns have a lovely home - and they haven't been cleared of suspicion - so this man's finance and home are irrelevant

do only poor people abuse children?
we all know now that wealthy doctors can neglect theirs.....

Hey what harm is it to ruin a mans reputation and have him labelled a paedophile? They're trying to shift the blame from themselves so naturally they have to put that blame somewhere else. Why didn't this photo-fit come before now? What good is it eight[?] months after Maddie disappeared? The time to have acted and supplied that photo-fit was right after Maddie went missing when publishing it might have meant a chance of finding her and when the features of the man in question was fresh in Gail Coopers memory ( if their version of events is true) and given the public someone to be on the lookout for. After all this time they might have just published a photo of Mickey Mouse for all the good it's going to do.

Wipe your mouth Dave,theres more bull s*** on your lips !

they are not doing this for fun!.. they have lost a child, and if the police in Portugal had got their finger out. the case would have gone quicker..And may have been resolved good luck to them, and i hope they find their daughter safe and well

You got it right?

I am right in assuming you are on some medication for a problem, having looked at your profile, you are a recovering druggie or a schizophrenic: I am giving you the same chance as you have given the McCanns.

Why should he apologise.? As for throwing the PP off the scent they could not smell a dead skunk from 5 yards. From day one they made every mistake in the book As a result of this incompetence there is now no scent to follow.
