Ernie Allen, head of the US-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, has repeatedly told the McCanns that their campaign could be the key to finding her and he believes she may be alive (statistics show very young children are less likely to be murdered). Nobody will care more than them - they are the primary activists for Madeleine. He is convinced to keep the focus on the search for a live child. If they stopped their campaign, then people will forget about Madeleine. Hope and the tireless public campaign is the KEY to finding her.
Public opinion is a fickle thing; the public has a very short memory and easily gets bored. Two months after Madeleine’s disappearance the story has become stale with no new developments (which was extremely distressing for the McCanns) and then the McCanns became suspects (which is a terrible position to be in; being accused of killing your own child) but as a consolation, the new developments have inadvertently ignited public attention and the media back again. Some of you might say that the attention is on the parents not on Madeleine, but every time the parents get mentioned so does Madeleine’s name and her photos.
