New figures reveal that the full cost of a new Scotland Yard inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann will reach 10 million pounds by early next year.
A Home office spokesperson confirmed that the Operation Grange inquiry received a special 2.6 million pound grant for the year 2013-14 which brought the total amount of money invested so far to 7.3 million pounds. Figures covering the inquiry in 2013-14 show 1.7 million pounds went towards police officer wages, 505,000 pounds in civilian pay, 210,000 pounds in overtime and a little over 200,00 pounds in transport , supplies and other costs.
Madeleine McCann mysteriously disappeared in 2007 from her hotel room in Portugal where she was away on holiday with her parents.

The cost isn't really all that much (17p per person) and they might as well continue having gone so far. If they do turn out to be successful, it'll be a huge deterrent to other potential kidnappers. If it saves just one child's life it'll have been cheap.

I don't know how anyone can say anything about the McCanns, sure they're bound to have bad days when they say she must be dead, but honestly if it was you, you would never give up, I know I could never give up. All I can say is I hope some day no matter how many years they get her back. (Alive)

I would rather the money is spent on these unfortunate people than many of the other ways our money is spent by government. Who knows how many other children may have been victims of the perpetrators and for these people it is an unending nightmare. What would you want if it were your child?

Whether they simply neglected their kids or whether they actively harmed Madeleine, every single part of this tragedy is down to the parents.
No one leaves three toddlers alone in a room in a hotel and swans off to have a fancy meal unless they're pond scum. I don't give a fuck what they do for a living or how many media advisers they can hire to spin it their way. Whatever happened to their child is entirely their fault

I think the police need to look closer to home and question the parents and friends, but we know it will just be no comment all the way through just like when they were questioned in 2007. I think the best way if they did it of course is to flip one of their friends and put deals to them. You cannot say she was kidnapped when there was no proof that she was ever kidnapped and we have the dog evidence that points to one direction- death.

Why waste the airfare and another chunk of taxpayers money? The only people that could of killed her are right here in the UK stop the cover up and get the parents in
