Madeleine McCann: Missing Hours, Found Again And A PR Disaster
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
THE SUN front page: “MADDIE DAD AGONY. Fiend hid from Gerry. He was already in room he tells cops.”
A source close to the family says: “When Gerry went to check on Madeleine at 9.05pm he realised the bedroom door was open. Gerry is firmly of the view the abductor was already in the apartment.”
It’s another theory.
“When he went in he saw Madeleine was asleep but the bedroom door was slightly open. He thought, ‘That’s odd’ because he had left it firmly closed. But all the children were asleep. So he just went in and closed the door again and came out about 9.10pm.”
Good to hear Gerry McCann joining in the mood of speculation?
“Gerry is convinced the man must have been hiding, and once Gerry went through the patio doors the only way out was through the window. The front door was locked so the kidnapper took Madeleine and climbed out the window.”
DAILY MIRROR front page: “HOW SHE WAS TAKEN. The McCanns’ story.”
“Stolen to order after being spied on for days
Abductor hid in flat as Gerry looked in on kids
He got in through patio doors and out by window”
Gerry is a “heart specialist”.
Says a source: “When Gerry leaves, the man realises he has only a few minutes. He thinks the only way to get out without being seen is through the window.”
And: “Initially he thought Madeleine might have got up and gone to the toilet, or to get a drink or something.”
So what has changed? Why a new theory now, with a new spokesman on hand and the McCanns named as suspects?
DAILY STAR front page: “SEVEN HOURS TO KLILL MADDIE. Police probe her ‘lost’ final afternoon”
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: THE MISSING SEVEN HOURS.”
Police sources reveal that “despite exhaustive inquiries they cannot confirm the whereabouts of part-time GP Kate, 39, and her daughter after 1.29pm on May 3”. A source said Kate’s movements were “unaccounted for until she sat down to have dinner with friends at a tapas restaurant within their holiday complex at around 8.40pm”.
The last photograph of Madeleine was said to have been taken by Kate at 2.29pm on May 3.
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns: What we really did in the missing six hours.”
“Madeleine had high tea at 5.30pm with staff at the Kids Club. She was picked up shortly before 6pm by Kate and Gerry.”
The friend insisted: “Kate was never alone with Madeleine that afternoon. There were always other witnesses present. These details were all given to detectives during police interviews, so they know what Kate and Gerry said happened that day.”
So no missing hours, then?
THE TIMES front page: “MADELEINE McCANN: Matthew Parris laments a PR disaster.
“The fatal flaw of David Cameron and Kate and Gerry McCann” - Our correspondent looks at the baleful influence of the marketing men.
“Look what they’ve done to Kate and Gerry McCann. Here were two people deserving of the most intense public sympathy. On a superficial level they got it – by the media bucketload. Yet did you not sense from an early stage an undertone of irritation at the couple? I’ve sensed it everywhere I go: not a sign of doubt about their innocence, which most of us take for granted, but a feeling, nevertheless, that they in some way invited trouble – though we banish the thought as brutal and wrong.
“Which it is. So why the ungenerosity? I believe it is because Kate and Gerry McCann have allowed an impression to arise that they and their advisers are marketing their own tragedy. Where we would have expected to see parents distracted and disorganised by grief, we have seen a professionally run campaign to find out what the media want, and give it to them.
“This has been done for a most defensible reason: to enlist the entire European public as amateur detectives in the search for Madeleine. But now her parents have ended up looking like film stars in a Hollywood weepy.”
“Put up or shut up, Madeleine McCann police told” - Friend of McCanns counters claims of ‘lost’ six hours before girl vanished
DAILY TELEGRPAH: “Madeleine McCann: Gerry certain he was in bedroom with kidnapper”
THE GUARDIAN: “From prime suspects to hounded victims - how parents turned the media tide”

Very well said. I applaud you for putting across the most sensible post I have read to date on this forum.
People, even after all this time,, can’t for one minute put aside their gripes with the McCanns. Nothing the McCanns will ever do will be right or be enough.
September 23rd, 2007 at 9:12 am
922 Momtoo, “The PJ have fed lies to the mdeia…” —
A very one-sided view of things.
All parties appear to have fed disinformation to the media — so why not be a little more even-handed in your criticism?
“The judge said there is insufficient evidence to even bring the McCanns back in for questioning ” . In fact, that is not what the judge said.
You’re guilty of spreading disinformation yourself.

..and furthermore… they DID neglect the children, they DID leave them alone in an unlocked apartment round the corner in the next street, out of their sight, in a foreign country. If the children had been able to wake up and had gone off to look for Mummy and Daddy, what’s to say they didn’t walk out of the apartment …because …hullo ?? it was UNlocked, and then wander off to get lost, stolen or strayed, so - very sorry - but speculation aside, that is the bit that stinks, and that is the bit that is actually true amongst all the bull and speculation.

Momtoo 922
On the point of “why should Kate cry in front of us” , I think the whole point there is that she is not functioning as one would expect a distraught Mother to act. It isn’t that we EXPECT her to cry in front of us, she just hasn’t. She has maintained this stony-faceed silence, she has never made eye-contact with anyone, and even when she was “pleading” with the abductor/s to not hurt or scare Madeleine, she was looking down and sideways, not wide-eyed and frantic into the camera. Her body language is all totally wrong. A doting Mother would be doing what all the other Mums of missing children have done, and that is cry, wring their hands, plead and plead for their child to come home or be turned loose so that they can come home by themselves or be found.
In maintaining this “Ice Maiden” image, she has alienated the general tide of opinion instead of gathering sympathy. The excuse that she was in extreme shock could have been used at the very beginning but not now. The fact that she and Gerry went running, took the other kids to visit friends who had ” swimming pool” and they all had a nice day - read Gerry’s infernal blog - is shocking to the core and quite squirm-making really. That blog is something else too, and the bit that finally did it for me was when he went on about the weather and how he had to don a long-sleeved jumper for the first time in weeks……WTF ???? Sorry but if my daughter were missing, God knows where and having God knows what done to her, the last thing on my mind would be the state of the weather !! what weather ?? what day ??? Limbo-land is where I’d be BIG TIME !!

Patricia,
Someone posted earlier the theory that she could well be alive and the parents knew where she was.
Cuddlecat was a messenger of sorts.
Now they are bringing in a team of “solidiers” to find her in Portugal.
They might well.
How could anyone kill their child and not crack under such pressure.
This explanation right now is the only one that at a body level feels right.
So to recap - they were behind her disappearance, but knowing full well that she is safe and cared for.
And mean time the funds are growing.
Nothing new comes to light.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:50 am
With all of the money, police, PR and much more how to explain no one knows anything and everthing reported is bogus? There is something wrong with this picture! That much is clear!
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:46 am
NO. I don’t like to get much into the small nit pick about whether Mrs. McCann should be crying and so on. My thoughts are if the UK police think they should be looking for a missing child? The only circumstance I look at the behavior of the parents is if they knew there was not a missing child and the rest is on tape. That thought blows me away. YES. All of the rest, other than what could have happened, is small stuff in some kind of way, my opinion.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:38 am
Even my little pea brain can figure the next round of speculation. If there is no evidence and the reporting has all been bogus and stories are changing… Then there is a PR Clarence, all of the lawyers and so on… With no evidence and no reason to worry why the need for all the lawyers? So, the next round of speculation would be people are being paid off? In theory, as always.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:33 am
#922 Momtoo,
Some of the problem lies with the UK and not Portugal. The sniff dogs are UK dogs. What do the UK police believe as a result of their own dog study? Are the UK police searching for Madeleine alive? I see a lot blamed on Portugal but the UK have been investigating too? The UK police should have an idea what they think happened?
If, in theory, something happened to Madeleine and the parents are aware the only thing I can think is possibly there could have been an accident and a panic.
Unless there is a need to search for a living child people need to know. If all of the reporting has been bogus and so on and no charges are expected then what is the need for all of the lawyers, PR and so on? There is much about all of this that is blown out of proportion…
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:17 am
I suppose mystery is what this site is all about.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:14 am
Maybe better said like this, Winky Dink whilst you ask a lot of questions you chose to remain a mystery?
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:14 am
In response to 744….agreed, agreed. There was a case recently here in the US of a mother who left her kids aged 1 and 4 alone in a car on a hot day, they both died. Her reaction was to call her boyfriend and say “I killed my babies.” Then she went home and bathed them and clothed them. That seems to be more of the reaction I would expect of a mother who had brought about her children’s death by accident, overcome with grief. The Chamberlain woman was quoted recently as saying that your face won’t do what you tell it to. I am so glad that I don’t know how I would react in the same situation.
As far as the case goes, The ex-spokesman and members of the Portugese press have come forward and said that the PJ have been leaking faulty information to the press in order to pressure the Mccanns to confess. The judge has said there is insufficient evidence to even bring the Mccann’s back in for questioning, the famous “missing 6 hours” has been accounted for by witnesses and documents by the resort. The restaurant owner who believes the mcann’s dined there has even admitted that the footage that is allegedly the Mcann’s is “grainy” but that he truly “believes” it is them.
So many people have such a hard time believing that Kate Mccann is acting like the mother of a missing girl, but they can believe that she accidently kills Madeleine, and instead of being racked with grief and guiilt she can’t hide, promptly goes out and dines with friends and than pretends to find her missing when really she has hidden the body. And Gerry instead of being grief stricken, and horrified at the idea of disposing of his loved daughters body, agrees to perpetrate the facade with his wife and possibly the collusion of his friends. Then, instead of falling the polices tendency towards inaction, the couple actively campaign to find her and become the most watched parents in the world. While they are such, they rent a car, and use it to dispose of her body 25 days after, and despite the portugese heat, no one ever notices the body while it is waiting to be disposed of, even with the police looking for the little girl. The article with the psychologist was quoted earlier in the posts, in that article, the gentleman said that people capable of that type of crime and cover up would have had a past history of criminal behavior and yet there is none for the Mccann’s. In the meantime, we are supposed to buy the story of the PJ, when coincidentally, a simillar case with a missing child and no body, has a mother confessing after being beaten by the police, and one of those investigators happens to be on the Mccann case while he is under investigation, a poor choice at best. The PJ seem to make poor choices all the time, but of course, the choice to lay the blame at the Mccann’s feet couldn’t be one of them, because Kate Mccann won’t cry and she left her kids alone, so she must be guilty of murder.
The PJ have fed lies to the media who have reported it and we have taken it as truth, rather than applying logic and reserving judgement. The people at the creche must be lying and in on it. The friends must be lying and in on it. (This is something that has always bothered me, the idea that the friends were in on it. First off, which of you out there if you friend killed their own child would lie and cover it up for them? And if the friend’s weren’t in on it, why would they let a friend go and check on her knowing that they might discover a dead body? In order for the sniffer dogs to be correct, the body would have had to be there for two hours to leave a scent right? If the body was gone at about 10pm, the body would have had to be hidden after 8pm. If the creche is correct, they picked madeleine up at 6pm. If the man at the restaurant is correct, Gerry mccann was dancing with Madeleine at 5:30 pm. Let’s say they got back to the hotel and immediately sedated and killed her, at 6pm. Then, instead of disposing of her immediately, they, conviently for the forensic team, let her body sit for two hours and don’t hide her until their time is rushed and they’re supposed to sup with friends. And when they dsicover that Madleine has overdosed? Do they call an emergency number and make an attempt to revive her? They are both physicians, they should know what a correct dose should be, but they overdose her fatally? Or she has an allergic reaction and they don’t notice it immediately and try to get her help, rather than be seen as unfit they let her die and concoct a cover story that couldn’t have been made up if they tried.)
Today, I met my husband and children and friends at the zoo. We had dinner together in the park. I know what time I got on the bus to get there because I had to call and find out what time to catch it, and I assume that it showed up on time. My husband and a friend were gone for indeterminate length of time looking for a restroom and a place to buy sodas while we began eating. We left altogether and the next time I remember is 7pm, when I checked to see if I could put my youngest to bed. I went to school before I met them, and checked in the building with my ID, a simillar sort of proof to what the Mccann’s had in regards to my whereabouts, but let’s say a day later a man in a convenience store is sure he has me on camera in his store when i supposedly was at school. I know I was at school, but if you are predisposed to believing I wasn’t there, you will accept this “proof” as being the stronger of the two. If you talk to my husband about the events of today, he might remember things differently than me, the same with our friends, because that is what happens when people aren’t trying to establish ablibis. They drink a lot of wine at a dinner with friends, a friend wanting to help remebers, either real or imagined, that a man was carrying a little girl in a blanket. another friend only listens at the door on his way to check his own kids. A door being open is odd, but not so odd that a glance at quietly sleeping children doesn’t quell any fears. No one makes sure of their stories and covers their tracks, they are inconsistent acting like people who weren’t expecting to have to account for their time.
Why should Kate McCann cry in front of us? Who are we that she needs to make us like her? I wonder how many of you who take pleasure in heaping malicious derision upon the McCann’s could do so to people you knew. Let’s say your close friends left their child alone and the little girl was taken, would you be writing petitions to have their other children removed from their care? Would you be making fun of their efforts to publicize their child’s disappearance? And if the police accused them, would you say, ” I knew all along you were guilty, you just don’t seem like you’re grieving tome. If you had cried more, maybe I would have believed you, but I still would have felt you were a little guilty because you did leave them alone and that is SERIOUS neglect.” (For those of you who claim you would never be friends with someone who would leave their child alone, for minute, use your suspension of disbelief and imagine the people you care about ij this situation.) If it were true of them, would you say that this made them habitual abusers of children? Would you hold them responsible for their child’s death, and saying you did so, would you then find it easy to see them as murderers? Probably not. You would probably sit with them while they cried and be shocked that anyone could see them as anything like the monsters they were being portrayed as in the press. The thing about the press and public opinion is that it is not fact. The press reports what it hears. Revered instituitions like the Washington Post have had to retract untruthful stories they have printed, and the internet is nowhere near as reliable as the Washington Post. For instance, the blood in the car turned out to be only “fluid” and the clump of hair in the trunk was later reported as being on the seat. At first everything was 100 percent match and then 88 and then we hear that the DNA couldn’t even tell the experts if it was from a man or a woman. Experts like Sir Alec Jeffries come forward on the McCann’s behalf, and they aresubject to suspicion only because they come forward on the McCann’s behalf.
I guess my point is people form their opinions and then they twist the facts to fit what they want to believe. It’s shameful when we do it, it is unsuprising when the press does it, and it is a tragedy when the police do it, because it means they are not doing their job, and time is ticking away and Madeleine is still unfound, whether lving or dead, and no one is able to really grieve because no one can know for sure what has happened.

Winky Dink,
A mystery that is.
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:12 am
It’s like this Winky Dink. You ask a lot of questions but you like to remain a nystery somehow? How to explain please?
September 23rd, 2007 at 7:10 am
Oh, I hope Stefanie comes back with more pictures!
September 23rd, 2007 at 6:38 am
In some areas I disagree with people who normally make a lot of sense. Basically, regarding my view of Mr. McCann. I don’t quite view him in a negative sense as some observers. My thoughts are based on observing him BEFORE Madeleine’s disappearance. Although most of what I have to go on are a few pictures he appears likable in my opinion. The picture playing with the children and more… Without knowing in person is difficult to say but there is nothing that stands out about him before the disappearance that bothers me. NO.
After the disappearance and the intitial picture much changed. I don’t know if that is a result of the McCann’s on PR?.. It is possible the PR attempt could make the McCanns appear insincere in a way that is inaccurate. BUT, the dog study and the questioning by the Portugal police are areas that are very disturbing to me! My thought is when a person has a missing child they answer the questions. There should be NO reason to worry. A set up, framing conspiracy is very difficult for me to believe. At first I thought maybe something else could have happened at the apartment but the McCanns didn’t question that aspect as a result of the dog study. Also, Mr. checked on the children supposedly at 9:05, which would rule out a two hour dog sniff, if true. The need to bring in so many big guns is another concern. YES, especially if there is no real evidence.
Mrs. McCann said at an earlier date that she would prefer to know the truth than to be left in a state of limbo. I think that is true for most people. To think there is an attempt to mislead the truth, regardless of the source, is very disturbing. I say that because if Madeleine is not alive, at that is known, she is being exploited in the most unimaginable way.
September 23rd, 2007 at 6:14 am
Tiddly Winks,
I am trying to decide what is up with you? I need a little longer to work on that.
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:56 am
Patricia - are you here?
I’ve just had a strange compulsion to come on this forum tonight but it looks like I’ve missed all the fun and games once again. DRATS!! All have gone to sleep. Out here on the Left Coast we’re light years behind the times. Just readeing posts and thinking when will this drama ever end?!!
Cuddle Cat has been top of mind lately. I went on eBay and found him there. Well, not exactly “him” but a close number two. This little one is yellow and is used (like new condition). Cuddly Cat is the name on the toy and Beany babies is the manufacturer. It looks just like the orignial only this one is yellow. Maybe all the pinks ones are sold out. Who knows but he looks very snuggly and cuddly. I’d better not buy him so as not to get too much more attached to anything to do with this case. It can’t be healthy. Besides, I may become suspect that way. It seems like everyone on the case is desparate for a scapegoat to make it all go away.
I hope madeleine is found soon. It’s getting last and I must be going. Sorry we missed one another Patricia. Have you bought the book I recommnended for you?
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:16 am
Krissie - isn’t omission spelled with only one m.?
Not to change the subject but, I think I may be right.
Other than that, you should pursue journalism. You write very well. Impressive!!
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:10 am
909 - I’m just skimming over the last few days of posts. This one caught my attention. Brandon Flowers, it’s good - submit it somewhere….I don’t know where….none of the British Press is ready to incriminate the McCanns just yet…they won’t publish it today.
Hang onto it til the tide turns - it’s a keeper.
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:04 am
The problem with you lame-brains trying to convict the McCann’s in online forums (”I’m not a prosecutor, but I play one on the Internet!!”) is that you are all ASSUMING that everything printed in random newspapers of your choosing are ACCURATE. So you focus in tonight on the whole “blood in the apartment” issue, and the McCann RUMORED comeback blaming how Madeleine fell getting off the plane. There are several assumptions here that could be inaccurate. 1. The police might not have really found blood in the apartment. 2. It might not have really belonged to Madeleine (no RELIABLE news story I’ve ever read has confirmed this). 3. It could have been from a scrape earlier in the day the McCann’s don’t even remember (I have a 3-year-old and a 4-year old… trust me, you dont’ Always know when they are bleeding!!). 4. So pretend it was from Madeleine at her time of death, you’re assuming the McCanns know about it and/or caused it, when there’s no evidence to assume so. 5. You are assuming that random statements in the media today that Kate says it’s due to the fall on the plane came from KATE, for real, when in fact it could have been anyone.
So as you can see, there are a whole lot of problems here. As I get farther into this, I see really clearly that the problem is really with the media. Here in the USA, we just don’t have these problems. Not to say our journalism is perfect– but our journalism problems are more sins of OMMISSION instead of sins of COMMISSION. (LIke, say, let’s ignore the civilian deaths in Iraq and focus on those darn TERRORISTS).
The thing is, so far as I can tell, about 90 percent of what wev’e read in any newspaper– online or not– is plain old false. SO you are arguing and making Very Important Points based on innuendo and falsehoods intentionally planted by (probably) both the police, the parents, and the dumkopf journalists.
September 23rd, 2007 at 4:37 am
There is something VERY wrong with this picture. YES. Exactly what would be interesting to know?
September 23rd, 2007 at 4:33 am
Remember not long ago Mr. McCann said the intent was not to have Madeleine in the news as was and he wanted to cut back on the reporting, etc. Next he hires Mr. Clarence who appears to have left his job to go into tabloid reporting.
The first picture of Mr. Clarence with the McCanns were funny to me. Hi, this is our new spindoctor. So, what do you expect after that? Exactly what it all appears at this time, spin, spin, spin, until left dizzy.
Wouldn’t people who have a missing child be sincere? Why is none of this coming across very sincere?
September 23rd, 2007 at 4:22 am
Spudgun,
I am glad to see you returned to the forum. For a while I thought you must have a number of calls.
During the time of the sighting in Belgium I noticed something peculiar too. Instead of the McCanns going to Belgium you are right they went to Spain. I remember that I was hopeful. There were pictures taken of Mrs. McCann hanging a poster on the wall in a building and then tossing a print out into people driving past in cars. Although I was hopeful about the sighting the manner in which the poster was hung and the info tossed into the cars appeared to be a staged PR, so staged that in spite of my hopeful feeling about the sighting the notice left me feeling stung. Yes, something appeared unusual but until other people remark I tend to write off or make excuses for my observations.
Finally, I am curious how Clarence feels about a need to spin the “special” UK sniff dogs as being nothing more than useless lap puppies?
Stefanie, I have seen the pictures of those two men before, yes. Only one picture came up for me. I didn’t see the pictures of the ladies carrying babies wrapped in blankets. Now I am told that Madeleine wasn’t wrapped in a blanket. Supposedly Ms. Tanner said there was no blanket. How would she not recognize Madeleine if there was no blanket? Also, I have a hard time imagining the man in the picture, BIG, able to carry Madeleine out a window.
It is one thing to have to dig through necessary bs but intention bs is another thing. I am more and more convinced that if there is a missing child what I am seeing would not be the approach. How to explain?

…Good Morning.
Do any of you others ever wonder if you must be dreaming all this stuff, because it’s just too weird to be real?
…I mean the whole thing makes much more sense as an OTT Hollywood screenplay, or a dream, than news or reality TV.
…I mean having thought about the Jehovah’s Witness double-glazing salesman (good at selling you things you really don’t believe in) and the SAS (who dares wins?), I started to think of the other high-profile members of Team McCann (makes me think now of Team America, screwing up the world in a misguided good cause).
J.K. Rowling, for example - always thought her plots were badly conceived and ridiculous.
Branson & Stelios.. are they trying to reassure Virgin and Easyjet passengers on cheap flights to the Med? Haven’t quite worked it out yet. Both great salesmen though, and the publicity’s cheap at the price.
Then Philip Green and Tom Hunter, like Brian Kennedy (the double-glazing salemen), Branson and Stelios, ’serial entrepreneurs’ - who like Kennedy made their first millions selling tat (allegedly).
Pinch!
OMG, it is all a dream! I’m asleep after all.

Yes I am a catholic and sometimes a very annoyed one
You see I love family and to me that is the closest you get to see God on earth.
So it comes first!!!!!!!!
Some catholics are just plastic and so into the motions rather than
Do unto others………….
love one another as i have loved you……
They love to “be seen” as devout yet all the time these ones are the worst
My husband isnt catholic we had 2 kids out of wedlock, we married and had christenings on same day years before maddona
My old mum used to say about all the ones sat stony faced at the front of the church
” look at them sitting there all goody goody,as if butter wouldnt melt…..
The evil bastards whipping their kids night after night and they sit there, brazen to God himself and they have the cheek to tell me my envelope was missing this week!!!!!!!!!!!! when i bought ******* shoes for her feet!!!
Well I know my God and he knows me
and I dont need no wailing at the front of the pew or kneeling or money giving
to save my soul ”
reminds me of someone eh?
September 23rd, 2007 at 2:54 am
Oh well, everyone seems to have gone to bed. Must be all the talk of sedatives, or the sedative effect of today’s largely not-very-original or-inspiring chat. Or maybe the time of night.
Anyway, to follow on from the Catholic theme, it’s reported that the McCanns new mystery millionaire backer is a Jehovah’s Witness turned Double-Glazing salesman.
A highly appropriate addition to Team McCann, I feel.
Also reported today: the McCanns are using ex-SAS men to find Madeleine. Also very appropriate. The company, Control Risks, (allegedly - please don’t shoot) had links to the Iran-Contra affair (goes nicely with the Pinochet link) and has recently had to divert some of its personnel from Iraq:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article727393.ece
If Team McCann had waited a couple of weeks, they probably could have got a better deal with Blackwater.
So, Anoraks, sleep soundly while you can. Soon it won’t be the ‘naughty step’ for the doubters here, but guys with balaclavas and Uzis kicking in your door at 4am. Looking for Maddie, of course.

Your paltry, 3rd rate ‘debunking’ efforts are somewhat wasted friend. I understand a Mr. Mitchell is being paid at LEAST £70,000 a year, so there’s no more money in the ‘bullshit’ budget to hire you.
Mind you, given that you may well already be on the McCann payroll, (either that or your a man of VERY comfortable personal means, given that you spend your life on this Forum, lambasting and ridiculing all those that dare to insinuate that the McCanns are anything less than wholesome, honest and honourable.
If you seriously think that ‘getting the police to check out the sightings for them’ is indicative of being “better and clever”, than your even greater deluded than I imagined. The whole world awaits DNA results on a glass from a cafe in Belgium, and the McCanns are swanning round Spain, letting off more balloons and generating more financial support. They call a campaign, “LOOKING fOR Maddie”, and looking, is the singular, most absolute thing they NEVER did. Lots of magazine roll calls, picture opportunities, tv interviews, world dignitary meetings, papal visits and lunch at the Whitehouse, but the ONLY FUCKING LOOKING they ever did was to check on the fund balance twice a day.
Do I do speak Dutch, you ask? NO. I don’t fucking speak Japanese either, but if a ‘credible’ sighting of MY missing daughter was made their, I’d be on the first plane to wherever in the world she had been sighted. Especially if that sighting was credible enough for Forensics to be involved, and a massive police operation was mounted, as was in Malta. Only a liar, a cretin, or a bullshit patronising prick like you would ever insinuate that the McCanns refusal to go to the countries where Maddy was alledgedly sighted was indicative of ‘cleverness’. A couple who are SO innocent, that they hire HM Government SPIN DOCTORS to tell us just how FUCKING Innocent they truly are. A couple so innocent, that even though they haven’t faced A SINGLE CHARGE, and are unlikely to do so, they have hired, not ONE, but FOUR, high profile lawyers, at an incalculable cost!! And isn’t it strange, that given that they have always insisted that they would return to Portugal to ‘help the police with their enquiries’, their most senior Lawyer, Michael Caplan, is world famous for fighting EXTRADITION CHARGES!! Given that his most famous client was Pinochet, a man he successfully defended and helped to avoid justice in rather MORE than ONE missing person. Quite fitting.
