Kirsty Wark interviewed me at the Edinburgh International TV festival this morning. It was very well attended, especially considering the 9.30 start on a Saturday morning. It is difficult to explain why Madeleines disappearance has generated so much media coverage and why it has been so sustained. I am certain that the coverage would not [...]
On Monday we were contacted by a reporter of The Times, who told us that our investigation was illegal and he had received a press-statement from the Portugese Police that they made a complaint to the Dutch Police about Strongwood.
