Perhaps if the media and conspiracy theorists hadn't kept pushing the story that she'd already died, they wouldn't have had to. For some reason, the parents were attacked consistently, public opinion was being turned against them, I don't blame them for hiring someone to try and get the message back on track that they didn't kill Maddie and that people should still be searching for her. BTW, a number of papers ultimately apologized to the McCanns for pushing the theory that they were somehow involved.

Anything specific you can quote? I don’t have the time to read a FOI request / response.
As far as I can tell from that blog post, Gerry McCann requested the help of the foreign office, and the foreign office sent help. That’s part of their function btw, to help UK citizens abroad.
