Whist it is difficult for us to determine whether that IS Maddie in the photograph, there is no doubt that its publication has caused some of the 'it woz the parents wot dun it' brigade to concede that she MAY still be alive.
Until the forensic wizards work their magic on the image, no-one including poor Gerry and Kate will know.
Naturally, there is a large number who are still clinging tenaciously onto the 'the parents shouldn't have left them alone' and are unwilling to move past that point; but I don't find that actually helps the argument at all, and they seem curiously reluctant to sympathise with these grieveing parents.........
Which brings me onto the 'Friends Reunited update'............perhaps in the endless, dark,hellish nights Gerry has been despondently trawling the internet, trying to find comfort and solace and distraction and it popped into his head to update his profile - there's another couple of minutes got through, etc. I've spent nights like that............obviously whatever was preventing me sleeping has no comparison to what he is going through, though.......
I can't understand quite why so many people can only see the negative in anything done by the McCanns. They can't do right for doing wrong.........
