Last week's Sunday People claimed that the McCann family has been reduced to asking Colin Fry and Gordon Smith for help in finding Madeleine. If this is the case (and it hasn't been mentioned on the official findmadeleine.com site) I think we should all get in touch and make our feelings known. It might be a good idea to mention Ireland's very own Sarah Delamere Hurding while we're at it...

Said it in this mornings metro too. No psychics mentioned by name. It said that friends of the fmaily were pressureing them to accept offers of psychic help.Originally Posted by Julia
Perhaps Colin will use his 'psychic trumpet'
It's really annoying that these useless charlatans have banged on about this issue so long that they've managed to get a foot in the door with the family.
Mind you, could just be the crap papers making stuff up. First they imagine it then it becomes real. Or something.
Someone should point them to Kelly's blog:

And in particular her section on psychics:

There is so much good information there, provided by people who have gone through the same thing, including family pressure to clutch at such straws. No good comes of bringing in such predators.
Apparently the McCanns have made their own decision about who they are going to consult. I am sure you will have heard of this person before, and I hope that everything is kept out of the public eye, for the sake of all involved. So much for 'intruding into others' lives'.
I'm sure a PR savvy guy like Gordon Smith will make sure he comes out of this in a good light. There'll be no information at all coming out unless he solves the case with his psychic powers!
So, I doubt we'll here much from Gordon.
I found it interesting that Diane Lazarus and Ben Murphy, who went to Portugal after about 10 days, have remained silent so far.
I rather thought the tactic would be to keep silent and then if/when the case is solved they would claim to have helped but kept quiet so as not to jeopardize the case.
There's still time, of course.
.
I'm willing to bet that Gordon Smith will find something that wasn't previously known. Not saying he'll solve this.
As for PR, wouldn't you have one with all these sharks around who make a living of criticising others?
Why?
Wouldn't you want any psychic involvement to be checked and confirmed?
I am confused about this statement. Did you read any of Kelly's blog? Anyone unqualified to further the search for this child is intruding, whether asked or not.
But not anything substantial which will actually help though. So what is the point.
I bet if he does get involved, someone will comment that his input was 'interesting', but not further help than that. A polite way of saying useless.
Well,the Barber says he hasn't been approached.

He is so protective of his image, that I'm sure he is desperate to not get dragged into this case. So far he has been clever not to open himself up to too much scrutiny by being very careful in how he is portrayed.
In fact, it seems to be his followers who are desperate to offer his services - how ironic would it be if his downfall was caused by those who idolise him most.
Thanks for posting those links, Chillzero. Should be compulsory reading for sceptics and believers alike.

In the sense of qualification, mediums are unqualified. Sadly, nobody is qualified to test them either.
Yes, but did you read the link: http://voice4themissing.blogspot.com...chics-and.html ?
