Is this it, is this where we are now at, has the death of Madeleine McCann and the disposal of her body by those nearest to her degenerated from pantomime to circus to repugnant farce?
When a spokesman hired to protect the prime suspects in the death and disappearance of Madeleine McCann, to denigrate the facts, to confuse and to shamelessly lie in furthering that protection.
When that same "spokesman" for suspects, a hitherto unknown and unique component in what is not just a case of child neglect but given the hiding of the corpse of Madeleine must surely be a case of culpable homicide.
When, added to these factors the inclusion of the "possibility" of Madeleine being held by Romanies and, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that "There is no suggestion she has been harmed or killed," then yes, this case has decayed beyond repugnant to reach contemptible, sordid and, like the McCanns but much more so Mitchell, vile, disgustingly vile.
You know she's dead, you know her parents are culpable and you know that I and thousands like me know that you know.
Clarence Mitchell, you are without shame.
"There is no suggestion she has been harmed or killed," says Clarence Mitchell. "They believe she has been hidden somewhere. It could be a Romany family who have taken her. It's unusual but not completely rare. As long as there is money in the find to pay for investigators, the investigation will continue. If and when it runs out, there are ways to bring more money in."

McCANNS TO SUE POLICE?
Madeleine's parents face new agony after detectives mistakes are revealed.
No one can fail to be moved by new revelations of information that was withheld from Kate and Gerry McCann in the search for missing Maddie.
Possible sightings, e-fits of two suspects, CCTV pictures and information that a paedophile ring may have ordered the abduction have been brought to light.
And now the couple may be planning to sue Portuguese police for any mistakes they might have made during the investigation.
Family spokesperson, Clarence Mitchell, tells Woman's Own, "The mistakes and incompetence are there for all to see. If they'd done a lot more in the first few days after Madeleine went missing, then there would have been a better chance of getting her back."
The move was revealed as the McCanns team of private investigators were following up a new sightings of Maddie- a security guard in Brussels, Belgium, is convinced he saw her with a woman in a hijab headdress just days ago. While the McCanns priority is still to get Maddie back, their legal team in Portugal are seeing if there are grounds for a lawsuit.
But this renewed investigation comes at a time when the McCanns are running low on cash. There's just £460,000 left in the Find Madeleine fund, and with the investigation reported to be costing £166,000 per months, they're running out of the money needed to find their little girl.
But members of the public, desperate to return Madeleine to her parents, have got into trouble taking pictures of children whom they suspect may be Maddie. The McCanns are now urging people not to take photos of children without the consent of their parents, but to report any suspicions to the police immediately.
The recent reports of possible new sightings have further convinced the McCanns that their daughter is still alive and unharmed, playing down claims that she may have been snatched by a paedophile ring.
"There is no suggestion she has been harmed or killed," says Clarence Mitchell. "They believe she has been hidden somewhere. It could be a Romany family who have taken her. It's unusual but not completely rare. As long as there is money in the find to pay for investigators, the investigation will continue. If and when it runs out, there are ways to bring more money in."
