McCanns: Never mind writing a book, they should be brought to book

McCanns: Never mind writing a book, they should be brought to book

The latest money making scheme the McCanns have come up with to profit from the disappearance of Madeleine is to publish a book. It is claimed that: "The couple are determined to counter many of the false stories which have been circulating since their daughter disappeared in Praia da Luz on May 3 last year". But what about the false stories circulated by the McCanns themselves? For example, the fictional break in which the police discovered never happened? This puts the McCanns firmly in the frame for having killed and disposed of Madeleine's body. Why else would they invent a fictional account?

It is understood that the McCanns intend to use a ghost writer. What a shame that the ghost of Madeleine will not be able to set the record straight.

I find it annoying that Clarence Mitchell refers to "the night Madeleine was kidnapped" as though it was a fact that Madeleine was kidnapped. Let us not forget that this is only the McCanns version of events. The evidence does not support this. It is pure spin coming from a spin doctor who's job it is to sell fiction as though it was the truth. Another annoying comment coming from the lips of Clarence Mitchell is in relation to "Goncalo Amaral plans to publish his own book about the case", and that is "an attempt to make money out of the situation". From the word go the McCanns have made money out of the situation. It was not that long ago that they milked money from the findmadeleinefund to pay for their mortgage on their house in Rothley.
