McCanns hope police files will help in search for Madeleine

22/07/2008 9:00:00 AM.  | 
The parents of missing British toddler Madeleine McCann hope to use secret Portuguese police files to reinvigorate the hunt for their daughter now they're no longer suspects.

Kate and Gerry McCann have been cleared of being official suspects in their daughter's disappearance, as Portugal's attorney-general ordered detectives to shelve the 14-month-old case.

Robert Murat, a British ex-pat who lived near to where Madeline went missing in May last year, has also had his official suspect status lifted.

At a brief press conference in their home in Leicestershire, the McCann’s expressed relief, but said it was no cause for celebration because Madeleine remains missing.

They say they're forward to scrutinising the police files to see what has actually been done, and what can still be done to find their little girl.

I don't understand why the parents have not been charged with some crime of child neglect. There were babysitting facilities available, but they didn't want to pay for them while they went out boozing with their mates. The fundamental cause for this tragedy is the parents failure to look after their children and while I have a great deal of sympathy for the children, I have nothing but contempt for these parents and I am tired of hearing about them. They are despicable.

I think everyone should leave the McCanns alone. They clearly regret their error in judgement that day, and are suffering the worst pain possible. Why should it be made any worse? I think we should all remember the last time we made mistake as parents and be thankful that the concequences were not as tragic as the Mccanns were last May. Compassion is such a rare quality in the human race.

Oh, balogna, Chantel. Graeme is absolutely correct. They are as guilty as the actual kidnappers. In a foreign country and they leave their 3 year old child alone in a room while they party! Alone??? I can't even fathom the depth of their stupidity. Graeme couldn't have summed it up any better. We had exactly the same thing happen in San Diego a couple of years ago. The perp goes into a house and snatches a little girl while the mother is out partying and the father is asleep.
