Madeleine McCann: A Wild Theory, Clarence Mitchell Says And Father Pacheco Vanishes
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY MIRROR front page: “First she loses a child. Then she is suspected of killing her. Now she fights back. WHY I AM INNOCENT. BY KATE McCANN.”
Pages 4 and 5: Kate says her Portuguese lawyer believes in her and Gerry McCann’s innocence: “She’s also of the view that everyone she has spoken to in Praia da Luz also believe we didn’t do it.”
The Mirror says Portuguese police are working on the “wild theory”, Kate accidentally killed her daughter.
The Mirror has in the past voiced the theory that Madeleine McCann was abducted by an international gang of paedophiles and has been spotted in Morocco, Malta and Belgium. The Mirror produced six theories after Madeleine vanished. Read them here. And, no, Kate and Gerry were not mentioned as suspects.
The paper’s Brian Reade says: “I can’t see how any sane person could have convinced themselves the McCanns were capable of doing this and covering it up.”
Pages 6 and 7: The Mirror says the McCanns’ new media operator, Clarence Mitchell, cut his teeth at the BBC where the Soham murders.
THE TIMES front page: “Portuguese officers fly in to question McCanns.”
Page 3: “We can explain Madeleine’s DNA in our car, say parents.”
A family “source” looks at the McCanns’ hired people mover and says: “Who is to say what happened when they moved to the new villa? The seats were ripped out and everything including Madeleine’s sandals and the twins’ nappies were dumped in the car – which would have included traces of skin, sweat and bodily fluids.”
THE SUN front page: “MADDIE SENSATION. CAR DNA WAS TWINS’. Nappies in boot cold clear parents.”
Pages 4 and 5: “We talk about Maddie to the kids every day.” Given how children talks and how prevalent Madeleine’s face is on the newspapers, in the bank and how she talked about by mums on the school run, the McCanns twins might hear of little else.
Page 6: “We must have faith Maddie will be found,” says the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu. Says he: “Speculation will not help. Evidence and witnesses will.” As God is my witness.
THE INDEPENDENT page 6: “McCanns launch fightback over ‘nonsensical’ murder claims.”
Clarence Mitchell says the claim the McCanns harmed their child are “as ludicrous as it is nonsensical”.
DAILY STAR front page: “McCANNS: WE’LL FACE TRIAL. Parents admit there is enough evidence to charge them.”
Pages 4 and 5: “WE CAN EXPLAIN EVERY SHRED OF POLICE EVIDENCE.”
Katie Andre, aka Jordan says: “Whether they are guilty or not, I think they are in some way to blame for whatever happened to that poor girl by leaving her alone in a room with two babies…you just don’t do it.”
Page 6: “MADDIE PRIEST HAS VANISHED.” The “tormented priest who detectives think Kate McCann may have confessed to” is missing. Father Jose Pacheco has “disappeared”. Is he a suspect?
DAILY MAIL front page: “MADELEINE: DNA evidence branded ‘pathetic’ as fightback begins. “McCANNS: DOSSIER FOR THE DEFENCE.”
Pages 4 and 5: “The smears that started on Day 1.” The Mail says the McCanns’ lawyers are “going back through the newspapers to look for evidence of black propaganda planted by police.”
The McCanns have a new spokesman. Clarence Mitchell is a married father of two.
“While the police were secretly spinning their doubts about the McCanns to the media, the couple were faithfully obeying Portugal’s strict laws preventing them from speaking about the investigations.”
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE. HER MOTHER IS INNOCENT. We can prove it says family as Portuguese police fly to Britain.”
Pages 2 and 3: “Mother in jail over secret.” Kate McCanns could be jailed for telling journalists that police had seized her Bible. (See Mail story above.)
Page 4: “Madeleine: Police will question two priests on Algarve.” Jose Manuel Pacheco will be questioned. If police can find him. As will his Anglican colleague Haynes Hubbard.
DAILY TELEGRAPH front page: “McCanns challenge police evidence.”
Page 6: “’An innocent explanation for everything’.”
“Celebrities anger police.” A senior Portuguese police officer says: “It is amazing to me that people in high positions are getting involved…doesn’t Gordon Brown have a job to do?”
THE GUARDIAN: “McCANNS ‘innocent victims of heinous crime’.” Clarence Mitchell is with the McCanns.

1051 ~ Okay, so DNA in & of itself doesn’t usually suggest whether the person (if it came from a person) was alive or dead, unless ~ kinda obviously ~ it was bone fragments or something similar?
Thanks, that’s a useful clarification.
I’m not sure who Patricia is though….

(1050) Triffifood:
“if anyone takes the time to read any legitimate publication, you’ll learn that the so called ‘evidence’ is a sham…..”
I don’t think has truly been determined or not, if it has been, the public at large have not been made aware of the full results. Most of what we hear is the PR campaign from the McCanns saying there are quite a few reasons why DNA and such could have been found.
There was a report yesterday that said the DNA experts are fully aware of the possibilities and similarities they’d have to work with (the dna being transferred and the similar markers found within a family). What I could get from the report is that the DNA experts, whatever their findings, are not too happy having their work being called ‘pathetic’ before the findings are known, as these are experts.
It seems to me that everything we’re hearing, at this point, is speculation. Be it opposing or supporting the McCanns.
“Alan Baker, a forensic scientist who has given expert evidence on the subject of DNA in court cases, agreed it was impossible to say from DNA if an individual was dead or alive.
He said: “With DNA, you cannot tell if someone is alive or dead or say exactly where it has come from. It depends on the nature of the sample, whether it is blood, sweat, hair follicles or whatever.
“DNA itself would not tell you if that person is dead or alive. If it was associated with bone fragments or a piece of tissue, that is another story.”

Hope everything goes well with your daughter, Patricia. See you around.

[Quote ~ 1046] “if anyone takes the time to read any legitimate publication, you’ll learn that the so called ‘evidence’ is a sham…..
the dna could have come from any one of the mms”
Just out of curiousity (and because my 15 second attention span makes re-rereading every single topic about this again impractical), how true is this?
I thought at least some of the DNA evidence (from the boot of the hire car) could *only* have come from a corpse/ body?
In other words, isn’t it possible to tell whether DNA comes from living or dead tissue?
That’s not a rhetorical question btw, please could someone enlighten me!
September 20th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Elimination of possibilities: the body
The body is probably not in the sea. The sea would take it back. A heavy sac with rocks and the corpse in it is also not an option.People would have seen somebody carrying the rocks, the sac and smelt the scent of the body.Harbours in Algarve are full of boats.Rocks would probably damnsh the floor of the boat because they had to be pretty heavy.
Burying: difficult.They would need utensils to dig the ground.You can not dig a grave with your hands, specially trying not to attrackt the attention.If a Briton would have bought utensils on the day of the crime or later, people would have remenbered him.And I don’t believe the Mccanns invited any Portuguese to get involved in the case.
Large rocks(mountains) with deep holes: it is a possibility. But it must be very isolated –and a parked car beside it would attrackt the attention.Climb on a mountain, carrying a body in decomposition, terrible thing. Traveling around with a smelling corpse is also a big risk. Britons are not very used to drive on the side of the road the rest of Europe drives.A little accident would bring the police near the smelling car.I believe Maddie is still not very far from the apartment.The old cemetery beside the church would be an option.
And the construction on the road near the church and the resort, also an option.
The fact that the Mccanns stayed for a long time in the resort could mean that Madeleine was very near to them. They had to controle what was happening.
She disappeared on such a perfect way that sometimes I ask myself if it was an accident.

all - remember: the evidence is not the crime!
