Location: south of watford gap Ten days ago I sent an e-mail to Leicestershire Police with a number of comments and questions about their lack of response or comments to "arranged news conferences" /possible inflammatory statements /requests by individuals for information/instigation of worldwide searches!
I went ahead and used the e-mail form on their website which indicated that information about Madeleine McCann could not be given out.
I have today received this reply:
"Thank you for your correspondance in relation to the Madeleine McCann investigation.Leicestershire Constabulary is one of a number of UK law enforcement agencies who are supporting the Portuguese authorities with their investigations into the disappearance of four-year-old Madeleine McCann.
Our role is to complete and co-ordinate UK based enquiries at the request of the Portuguese authorities.Any tasks completed by British Police are under the direction of the Portuguese police and the results forwarded onto Portugal.
The fact that this is not our investigation and also the implications of Portuguese judicial secrecy mean that we are not in a
position to release information,brief the press on the investigation`s progress or confirm or deny any specifics relating to the case.
At the heart of this inquiry is an innocent little girl who went missing in May 2007.Our focus remains in doing everything we can to assist the Judicial Police and the Portuguese authorities to find out what has happened to Madeleine.I am sure that you would support us in this."
So there you have it !
We do support them!

Posts: 42 Well done pike. I like this bit:
"The fact that this is not our investigation and also the implications of Portuguese judicial secrecy mean that we are not in a
position to release information,brief the press on the investigation`s progress or confirm or deny any specifics relating to the case."
Are they trying to say in a roundabout way that there is no way they would have briefed the PR spokesman of two of the main suspects? Clarence Mitchell, one day you will hold your head in shame.
Oh, and good to see that they too are focused on whatever happened to that innocent little 3 year old. 3 year old, I like what they did there, in contrast to the majority of the media that report Madeleine as a 4 year old.
Keep up the good work Leicester constabulary

I suddenly feel reinvigorated especially since the parents of the missing child are not even mentioned

almost everyone does - it used to make me cross, but I can see that 'who was 3 when she disappeared' is a bit cumbersome - however, I would be more cheered about the absence of the 3rd if they had been precise about her age
but the truth probably is that the Leicester police have got into the habit of referring to her as 4 just like most other people

Posts: 62 Interesting the way they didn't say 'find her' they said find out whatever has happened to her'
I'm absolutely convinced they, like the PJ, know exactly what happened.
It's just the final proof they need.
