I'am an investigator involved in the search for Ben Needham. He disappeared on Kos Island in July 1991. I have an interest in high profile cases bringing a different approach to each case.

As an Investigator, I have been involved for many years, in helping to bring a resolution to the Ben Needham case. Ben disappeared on the Greece Island of Kos in July 1991. When British Police showed no interest in helping resolve the case, I initially became involved by launching a website. My involvement on a voluntary basis in Ben's case, brought about my interest in Madeleine McCanns disappearance. Like all concerned I hope one day we will be made aware of what actually happened to Madeleine. 

In April 2019 the Metropolitan Police made a further formal request to the Home Office for more funding of Madeleine's case. All funding requests by the Metropolitan Police to date, have been granted in full and have not been challenged. I feel strongly that the time has come to launch an application for Judicial Review against the Metropolitan Police. Such action would include the Home Office as an interested party in proceedings. Many members of the British public are very unhappy that yet MORE valuable Tax payers money is being requested in the search for one individual. I think these six monthly applications for funding, now need to be challenged by a British Tax payer.

When you consider since Madeleine's disappearance in 2007, (twelve years ago) nearly £12 million pounds has been spent on this case. There are many more deserving, desperate people that need help in our community. My question is when will these endless rounds of funding applications stop? Unless someone challenges it in the High Court. With your help I can seek permission for a Judicial Review. If someone does not challenge this in the Courts, then I believe the regular funding applications will simply carry on, and on and on.

In all the time and with all the funding from British Tax payers, we are today absolutely no closer to knowing what happened to Madeleine or where she currently is.

For this Crowd funding to be successful, and for me to instigate legal proceedings, I would ask you to PLEASE support me with your donation however small, and share this page quickly to ALL your friends and family.. Thank you.
