Unless they need to move the body...
I shouldn't laugh, but WTF, that's funny.
About a month or so ago, BBC Parliament screened one of those all party committee meetings with Madeleins father and another person whose name I forget, but he was the man in charge of the investigation.
The meeting itself was called by Parliament about the press, and listening to them explaining their case in calm and measured tones made some of the most thought provoking TV I have ever watched, frankly.
Some of you on here have made sweeping assumptions about what went on that night, and your opinions are based on what you have read in the papers and seen in other media.
As Madeleines father explained to the committee, the biggest hurdle they had to overcome was how the case was being reported, and how it made the task of trying to find their daughter so much more difficult.
If you can find a web site where you can watch them being interviewed, and it was on BBC Parliament for about two hours, then I suggest you watch it. The reality of what they were trying to achieve in the face of overwhelming prejudice against them in the media really does open your mind.

OK.
Should that be punished by law.
I know whatever happened to them in a court of Law would never ever punish them as much as what they no doubt punish themselves.
Have they broken any law? They haven't have they?
They have broken the law and should be prosecuted and trialled accordingly.

Got a feeling this will be another Ben Needham the lad that vanished on Kos in 1991 every once in a while there will be a picture of a girl that could be her but nothing will come of it sad as it is.

Saw that. At least the one where a self serving McCann still couldn't accept how mind numbingly stupid and criminally irresponsible he and his wife were abandoning their kids to go on the piss.

I can't work out why they haven't had their remaining kids taken into care? Surely they would have been if they had been discovered abandoning their children to enjoy an evening with their friends and non had come to any harm? It's as if the powers that be reckon Madeleine's disappearance is punishment enough, but surely the remaining children's welfare is paramount so the McCann's should be investigated as to their suitability to parenthood and whilst that is going on, the children should be put into care.

Simple, they are professional people. They have the benefit of a decent education and are seen as decent people. Hiring a PR company helped as well.
If they came from a council estate and lived off benefits, they would have been crucified by now.
