Nice bit of pointless journalism there then. Three people who they have no clue who they are contacted the McCann's representatives. The BBC News article, whilst not saying they are linked to the family, suggests it by its very context and tone of it.

They could have done a whole different story "Con artists try to take advantage of Shannon families misery" or whatnot (that happens a lot including a fair bit with the McCanns) with the evidence they've brought, but no, they have to make it seem more sinister than it may well be.

Shannon's mother charged with perverting the course of justice and child neglect.

The McCanns are bloody clever, and im sorry to de-rail the thread but how clever of them to change the subject over why their child was crying and asking them not to leave her and instead harp on about how outraged they are that information was released.
Grrrr! What about your upset child you prats!
