WITH Princess Diana is post-party recuperation, the Express continues to fill the vacated space with news of Madeleine McCann.
Of course, Madeleine McCann is not yet a tragedy. She may still be alive and well. We hope so. Who cannot hope for that? But the Express is not on her trail; it’s not asking questions and probing for answers.
It is just watching Robert Murat, the only named suspect. As was reported in yesterday’s Express, Murat is to be questioned by police once more.
Again readers are told of eyewitnesses who claim to have seen Murat on the night Madeleine went missing. He says he never went out. They maintain they saw him near the apartment from where Madeleine was “snatched”.
Murat will face questions. Chances are they will be the same questions he has been asked before. The Express makes no mention of any new evidence.
So we are watching Murat. And watching the parents.
“We have no plans to go come home,” say the couple in a statement. “We only want to return with Madeleine.”
They have been granted leave by there employers to continue their search.
And they have the means to keep going. The Express says the Find Madeleine fund, looked after by Madeleine’s great-uncle Brian Kennedy, has raised £900,000.
And it is not just for Madeleine. As Mr Kennedy says: “Any parents wherever they are, whatever they do, should get the same publicity as Madeleine has and if we can do anything through the fund for others we will.”
The talk is of hope. But the message is forlorn and touched by the cruel reality that Madeleine McCann is missing and there has been no sign of her.

Kate McCann, unfortunately, thought she could push the limits, let’s have babies with IVF so I can be “complete.”
But, I want to go to dinner, darnit! Heck with the fact that the kids may wander off, get lost, drown in the bathtub, get electrocuted with a light socket/outlet, etc. When one becomes a parent, it is the all-encompassing, most precious gift God has given us. But, oh my, poor Madeleine has a coloboma; I don’t have a perfect child!!! But wait…I have twins, and boy AND a girl. Madeline has just been too much trouble, and has an unnatural pupil in her eye. Wait…I’ve been very stupid and have incriminated myself. (Kate’s thoughts)

of course kate maccann killed her daughter she is a hard faced evil bitch
September 4th, 2007 at 1:10 pm
WOW….they had a whole 10 minutes to go to church to pray for Maddie?
Then spent the rest with FAMILY? (reading Gerry’s blog today)
I noticed after not being here for a week, some of the subscriptions have been shut down?
Still waiting on the DNA test results and search and arrest?!?!?!

If the McCanns were using sedatives on their children; what you have to think about is did someone see this as a chance to abduct her? or did she have an overdose?
Hypothetically, if you came home to your child who had died of a drug overdose you had given him; maybe you would freak out? or hide the body?
But if you were given money to find your child which looks more guilty: hiring 5 detectives or hiring 5 solicitors? and who recently hired 5 solicitors to find their child?

the edge…I read that Kate had to get new clothes when she went to see the Pope.(oh and then complained about the heat until someone got them water and an umbrella) When asked about the fund, the uncle that is involved with it says it is used for the campaign and to buy things and have things made and to support the McCanns while they search for Madeleine. Just wondering who pays for the McCann’s trip to the zoo and other activities they do with the twins or dinner’s out? They have said they cannot even think about going home or back to work without Madeleine…..

how do you think buying a yellow wristband is going to help find madeleine. Do you know how much money is in the “find maddie fund”. and do you know how much is actually being spent to try to find her. There is 1 MILLION POUNDS in the fund. And so far about £70 THOUSAND that has been spent (all on administration) apparently. Where the hell have you been Hayley?????
August 13th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Does anyone know where I can purchase a yellow wristband? I would like to provide as much help as I can to find Madeleine.
August 9th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
This case is gettin stranger by the day. I guess the only thing we know for sure is poor Madeleine is missing. I still believe the police know more than they are saying and hopefully they will come to a conclusion as to what happen to Madeleine and where she is….
August 8th, 2007 at 5:18 am
just had a thought. After reading some articles about Madeleine, I found that mom Mccann takes the twins to daycare each day(STILL?) and then goes and sits to stare at the ocean….Now i read that dogs are searching near the ocean…
Is there a reason mom sits there?!?!?!?!?
August 5th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
the edge…..
Yes i have stated my opinion numerous times along with others on this post.
Just wondering why you bothered to post, since you have said nothing about the Madeleine McCann case…
August 5th, 2007 at 8:35 pm
yes star and your point is what exactly????? Is the name star short for daily star or what?? You appear to be reporting as if your a newspaper. So what is your opinion, after all thats what the forum is for pleb head.

It is the second reported sighting of Madeleine in Belgium. On June 1 this year, a Belgian couple told police they had seen her outside the cathedral in Liege. They also said the girl was with a man and a woman, and when they called out her name the child turned round to look at them.
Kate and Gerry McCann, who are still staying in the resort where they last saw their daughter, marked the three-month milestone with a series of emotional interviews.
Mrs McCann, 38, burst into tears as she recalled the joy of Madeleine’s birth after waiting five years to have a child through IVF. Madeleine was followed by twins Sean and Amelie, now two.
Mrs McCann, a part-time GP, has told friends she struggles to maintain a normal day-to-day life.
She said: ‘I can’t even begin to imagine enjoying myself. Members of the family have been out and tried to urge us on, but I can’t let go. I feel much happier staying in in the evening, thinking about Madeleine.’
She added: ‘For the twins, it has been like a huge holiday, but not for me.
‘There are dark moments when I fear the worst and start panicking. But we have to remain hopeful. We love Madeleine very much and she knows that.
‘I just can’t contemplate walking back into the family home without Madeleine.’
The couple declined to comment on reports from Belgium

PRAIA DA LUZ, Portugal: Portuguese police and British detectives returned Saturday to search the home of the only suspect in the disappearance of a 4-year-old British girl who went missing at a resort hotel in Portugal three months ago.
Using rakes and hedge cutters, police cleared vegetation from the grounds of the house where 33-year-old Briton Robert Murat lives, which is about 100 meters (330 feet) from where Madeleine McCann was last seen.
At least eight Portuguese officers and two British detectives took part in the search. They entered the house around 7 a.m.
The British Broadcasting Corp. reported that the search was expected to last four days.
Portuguese police were not immediately available for comment.
** I dont understand why they did not do a complete search of this place earlier. Didnt they talk abut a secret room? Aparently the police have some new info to go back and do this search and for it to take 4 days.
Hopefully they will find something…

Police in Belgium have released a computer-generated image of a suspect in the abduction of Madeleine McCann.
The development came after witnesses reported what they believed to be sightings of the four-year-old girl with a man and woman at a restaurant on the Dutch border town of Tongeren.
The latest suspect is described as around 40, 6ft tall, with short black hair, bushy eyebrows, several days stubble and a pointed chin. The released image shows him to have large eyes with dark pupils. He is said to be Dutch and a Flemish speaker. His companion is described as a brown-haired female in her mid-twenties, with tanned skin. She is reported to be British, and to have attempted at one point to run away from the scene. One Dutch report said DNA tests are being carried out on a cup used by the woman
**Just wondering…it was at a resturant…did the child eat anything? That would tell us right away if they got something to test DNA on…..**
August 2nd, 2007 at 5:58 pm
Pat…Maybe the person could report the info to a news paper and say no one was interested in hearing what she had to say? That might get some attention!!
August 2nd, 2007 at 5:56 pm
Reading on, we learn that there is no hate. The McCanns friends have not been subjected to physical and verbal attacks. There is just a Portuguese newspaper Sol saying that detectives hold no-one above suspicion.
The police are pouring over inconsistencies in the friends’ statements. All nine are being treated as suspects.
And hospital consultant Russell O’Brien, friend to the McCanns, has, it is claimed, been spoken to by police about his time in Exeter. O’Brien and his partner Jane Tanner moved to the city weeks before their trip to Portugal. The Express reads Sol and thereby learns that Murat was in the Devon city for 10 days, arriving back in the Algarve on May 1.
The above is from an article…Oh i am happy to see the police found inconsistencies in the friend’s statements…and check that out…all 9 of them are being treated as suspects?
And the friends are freakin out cause they are being verbally attacked…well with their story…they SHOULD be!! IMO they all know something. They need to question each one separately and i bet someone will crack….Oh and the campaign manager has to speak for them now…why do they need a campaign manager…what will Gerry do with his time NOW??? Tanner feels guilty cause she didnt report the man taking Madeleine..why would she notice the pj’s? Well she should. You see something strange and you cant go out of your way to atleast check it out. Sad…Sad…world we live in…..

To poster called I wonder
Okay you do have a point. Maybe Murat was drunk and passed out? If the McCanns and friends were out drinking and missed all the red flags regarding the abduction, is it possible Murat had a bottle of wine with his mom at dinner and went into lala land? Who knows? Did his mother hear anything? I don’t recall anything in print so far saying she was at the search the night and she appears to be a helper type. I am surprised the reporters don’t ask more questions about the McCann party, Murat, etc. having seen a statement supposedly made by a British celebrity recently who reportedly claimed all people in the UK use drugs. Could people in the McCann party be sedated not to worry more about the nightly routine or has there been questioning about whether any of the doctors had drugs on holiday that could have been used to medicate Madeleine? Could Murat have been so loaded he forgot he was at the nightly search? Who knows until the truths surface? If Murat was there where was Madeleine? Where is Madeleine now?
A huge reward, public attention, much media, UK and Portugal police, no Madeleine. Do any of you have ideas that might be used to help find Madeline?
July 30th, 2007 at 5:46 am
Helen’s post really freaks me out! Try going to a lawyer with the information and let the lawyer report the circumstance? Try another police source and just keep trying until someone listens. When you are trying to report information about a missing child and no one will take your report??????? might explain why so many continue to miss? It is a good idea to put the information in writing, even if you report it in person, and send the information by mail so that the mail must be signed for by the receiver. Keep a copy of the letter you send and the receipt. Follow up and asks if the info you gave was investigated. Call the number on the missing Madeleine poster.

Under California law, leaving a child age 6 or younger alone in a vehicle is a citable offense.
Shouldnt there be a law about leaving them in a hotel also?
I mean i know this was in CA….not Portugal…
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:19 am
I have read many pages on this case and there are as many theories as there are posts. I myself have swung from one opinion to another, but this is my conclusion.
I think Murat is probably involved, probably in a business deal, maybe he needs to clear some debts.
I think he has been in a position to watch the Mccanns without being spotted and to know they did not use a babysitter and when someone last checked the room, and the time gap before the next check.
Having set up the deal to ’sell’ Maddie he was in a position to act as look out whilst others abducted her and took her away by the route the sniffer dogs followed and by the route the Tanner lady saw someone carrying a child, maybe to a waiting car or boat.
I think that is why the police are having so much trouble piecing things together and making a case against Murat.
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:36 am
oh i should of kept reading….sorry more of that same article…
This new information, which police sources claim is “significant”, backs the testimony of Jane Tanner, a friend of Madeleine’s parents.
Tanner had previously told Portuguese police that she saw a man rushing away from the complex carrying a small child wrapped in a blanket at around 9:30 pm.
In addition, three other friends of the McCann’s reported that they also saw a man near the apartment shortly after Madeleine’s disappearance
See what i mean…NOW 3 other friends of the McCann’s saw the man now…what did they forget they saw him and just remember NOW???
Someone posted that Madeleine is safe at home and the parentsare soing this to get money…..That is just sick…
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:32 am
Just read a news article….here is a bit…..
Madeleine McCann Update: A new witness has come forward and told police that she saw the kidnapper take Madeleine McCann.
Police stated yesterday that they have now uncovered details of the escape route taken by Madeleine McCann’s abductor.
This new development comes at the end of a week of intense activity in which police sources report that the 78-day old investigation had reached a “critical stage.”
The new witness reported seeing a man who rushed past the tiny Nossa Senhora church in Praia de Luz towards the seafront at about 9:30 pm on May 3rd, just after Madeleine was abducted from her bed at the Ocean Club resort
NEW witness?…ok…so where has this one been all this time and she SAW the kidnapper take Madeleine?!?! I see Dad McCann is now in the US….how come they didnt make it a “family” outing?
There is something SO wrong with this case. Seems like if one thing dont work, a new witness or one of the McCann friends saw something. I wonder if this new witness is a friend of theirs?

Hello Ingenue and the Devil Incarnate (what a great pair of names!)
Thank you for trying but you are dealing with ASBO material here I think. The foul vitriol and profanity would make a horse sick.
It is supposed to be a forum about the wee girl but the trolls have to disrupt it for their own twisted ends.
I hope Madeleine is found safe and well, but wonder what her life will be like when she returns “home” again.
Please ignore Jane and Frances and remember “don’t feed the trolls”

“THE LAWYERS TEAM MCSPAM” Just wondering is the comment “Marian, Themis,Ingenue (f*ckin’ apt, you clueless cow)………..” really necessary, I mean have you not even got the bottle to post in your name instead of pretending to be someone else you poor pathetic creature. Why the vile language? You really do need some help with that anger problem. Try a few deep breaths before your next post.
July 22nd, 2007 at 9:52 pm
Ah Jane, so it was you pretending to be Theresa Bradley then! You poor cow. Her legal team will be after your arse for impersonating her on a public message board!
Next time, do some research before you use someone else’s name so you can pretend to be a shrinky-dink, better still - make one up. The only reason her name is relatively close to the top of Google results for her profession is becaused of all of the negative publicity she’s received over her clickfraud/shill business.
