Madeleine McCann: an Appeal

It has been two and a half years since the disappearance of Madeleine McCann at the age of four (now six) years old. For anyone who doesn't know, Madeleine disappeared on holiday in Portugal in May of 2007 and has yet to be found.

Now, in most disappearance cases the police tend to assume that if a person has gone missing and has not been found within 24 hours, the chances of finding them alive are very slim. In some cases, the victims bodies have been found within a few days, weeks, months, however long it may be but in all honesty I can't bring myself to think Madeleine is dead. This may be a personal thing as I remember very well watching the news and GMTV before going to school every morning hearing how Madeleine was still missing. However logically she could be anywhere, she could have been anywhere before and moved on or she could, regrettably, be dead. There have been many speculations about what part, if any, the parents had to play in her disappearance but there has been no evidence to support such theories.

On 8th November this year (2009), a video was launched which can be found here, which appeals to anyone who may know anything about her disappearance. Also if you click here you will be redirected to the Find Madeliene website which I believe is updated by the family themselves.

I can't imagine what the family must be going through and have been going through for the past two and a half years so if anyone knows ANYTHING that might help the investigation in any way please come forward.

Relationships...or not

Ok I tried to write something general about relationships but I just can't do it without making it too personal or relating it to specific people, which I don't want to do. So I'm going to go away and think of something else I can rant about because I can't do a completely objective rant about relationships. Sorry, bye for now.
