Sky News Headline; says: 'Madeleine McCann's parents should leave Portugal and go home, according to the lawyer for the only official suspect in the case of the missing four-year-old. Francisco Pagarete said people in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz want the couple to go because they are suffering financially from a dip in tourism.He said locals think the McCanns "should just go away and leave this town. They are giving it a bad name".The McCanns have recently come under pressure from the Portuguese media, who say police now think she was not abducted but died in their holiday apartment. The couple have now ended their daily routine of taking their two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie to the creche at the Ocean Club resort. It comes after concerns about photographers taking pictures of their children and disturbing holidaymakers using the child-minding facility.
Kate McCann has insisted her family will not leave without Madeleine.
Mr Pagarete said he thought it was weird that the McCanns would leave their children alone in a foreign country. Meanwhile, police no longer think that Murat was involved, according to the reports.
This current tabloid tact is beginning to read more and more like extracts from the last few chapters of a crime thriller story. It appears more and more like each and every persona in the situation are characters from this written script. The tabloids attack the Mccanns in accordance with the directions of a script. We reach the end now of this chapter and wait for the director to shout 'action' for the next chapter to begin. If I was the McCanns, I would be fuming to be treated in this way. Clearly 'the director' is deliberately letting the tension build ... and build ... in readiness for the punch line finale to the 'film'. It is evident here that the truth ... and the ultimate 'good news' has been written in the script .... but a few more twists and turns; more tension; more doubt and emotional 'curtain raising' must still be enacted upon this world stage. The McCanns clearly have their hands 'tied' and are powerless to defend themselves .... or even speak out to the public to let them know what is really there behind the curtain. I wonder now what this 'silence' is that the Portuguese Law demands with the case?
