Madeleine McCann: Robert Murat Innocent, Private Detectives & Kate McCann’s Hot Lips
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY MIRROR front page: “WE’LL FIND HER OURSELVES. Maddy parents bring in SAS private detectives”.
Kate and Gerry McCann have hired Control Risk Group, billed as a “crack security firm”, to find their daughter.
Page 5: “THE PROFESSIONALS” – There’s TV show in this. The Portuguese police could be the Keystone Cops, at least that’s what the tabloid press portrays them as.
“Millionaire ex-double glazing boss” is the mystery benefactor paying McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell’s wages. The former window cleaner owns Sale Sharks ruby union club. Look out for their new sponsor.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE. ‘McCanns ARE LYING’ - Portuguese police says friends are in cover-up.”
Robert Murat is to be told he will not face charges. Kate and Gerry McCann will be the only named suspects.
“SMILING” – The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPERS leads with a picture of Kate McCann grinning.
Pages 4 and 5: “Kidnap? We just don’t; believe it.” It is reported in Portugal that an unnamed Irishman has come forward to say he was in the same place as the McCanns’ friend Jane Tanner. She told police she had seen a man carrying child dashing from the Ocean Club resort in the direction of Robert Murat’s home. The new witness says he saw no-one.
“’GUILT’ OF PARENTS - More than 60 per cent think the couple know what has happened to Madeleine.”
“WHEN KATE WAS HOT LIPS HEALEY” – 15 YEARS AGO Kate was nicknamed hot lips for her resemblance to Loretta Swit in TV comedy M*A*S*H. The Express has seen her Dundee University year book and the comments - “Kate was great fun”; “renowned for alcoholic binges and some ‘dance till you drop’ nocturnal activities”; “she was certainly more interested in going to the pub than she was in her studies” etc.
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: PARENTS ARE LYING. Cops say McCanns & friends tried to frame suspect Murat.”
Pages 4 and 5: “McCANNS ‘ARE LYING’.”
A phone poll: “DO YOU BELIEVE THE McCANNS ARE LYING?” Let’s see if we can top that 60 per cent in the Star’s sister paper the Daily Express. Vote now and vote often.
THE SUN pages 12 and 13: “TWIN’S LIFT FOR MUM AND DAD.”
Kate and Gerry McCann are with son Sean. They have been to Mass. Kate sobs when Ave Maria is sung. Daughter Amelie is in nursery school. She is plying with the Cuddle Cat. She bursts into laughter, “her giggles rang around the building”.
DAILY MAIL front page: “Madeleine:
• Ex-SAS team joins hunt
• New sighting in Morocco
• Kate breaks down in church
• Police accused over forensics”
Page 8: “McCanns hire an ex-SAS team to hunt for Maddie.”
“Second witness supports sighting in Morocco” – Remember when Marl Pollard said she saw Madeleine in Morocco? Now we lean that a man also saw Madeleine in Morocco.
THE INDEPENDENT PAGE 17: “Murat no longer suspect.”
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 10: “McCanns hired detective firm with ex-SAS men”. Under Portuguese law, the McCanns are not permitted to carry out their own investigation in Portugal. But they can investigate in other countries.
THE TIMES front page: “McCann investigators” – McCanns hire private security firm.
Pages 12 and 13: “How they managed to turn campaign around.” The McCanns are “winning the propaganda war”. They have gone on the “offensive”.
A family source says: “It is for the police to prove they are guilty.”
GUARDIAN: No Madeleine news today.

bulldog, it is possible but why would they choose to frame the mccanns. it would have been far easier to have framed a bum, unable to defend himself and without an interfering british government breathing down their necks
September 24th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
all this talk about blood spilling. did you know there is a course on blood spills at crime scenes.

Read an article in ‘Now’ magazine (24th Sept 2007) where a girl was abducted, presumed murdered in Portugal in similar circumstances to Madeline. That was 3 years ago. They never found a body. Her mother, Leonar Cipriano and her brother, were charged with her murder and imprisoned for 15 years. Her husband, Leandro, claimed she was framed by the police because the case dragged on and they didn’t have any suspects.
Perhaps the keystone cops were sick of the McCanns highlighting their incompetence and to get rid of them out of the country, cooked up the ‘evidence’.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
681 I don’t think DNA evidence could ever be described as trivial. That is why Stevo has been pursuing this. It is very important to know that there is blood in the apartment on the floor and on the window ledge which is not from a scab and which, given the spectrum of other evidenced presented (scent detected by dog, body fluid in the car, hair in the car) is most likely to be from Madeleine McCann.

In my search for the Tapas2 who stayed behind with the McCanns after the abduction..and thee mother of one of the group.
I came across above article. It’s nearly a month after the disappearence. I think the journailst is trying to tell us something.

Yeah but Madeleine didn’t expose her shin bone did she? She hardly fell at all.
You’re totally right though. Kids fall over all the time at that age and she could have blood from any reason.

sorry blunger i couldn’t resist it, unfortunatly it is getting late and the spreading of filth and insults must come to an end.
before i leave may i just suggest to stig a fantastic product that i believe he may find invaluable http://cgi.ebay.in/ForTired-Eyes,-Improves-Eyesight-Eye-Cleaner/Refresher_W0QQitemZ230172592099QQcmdZViewItem
hopefully this may help with your insight into reality and aid your ability to smell the coffee

Thanks for the link.

I like the joke going around about Jose Mourinho and Madeleine…
After leaving Chelsea, Jose Mourinho said he wanted to go back to Portugal and disappear. The McCanns said they’d advise him on that.

That may be the case, or it might of been a little worse than what you actually saw. My son fell off his bike once but he didn’t cry much at the time but after checking his leg you could see his shin bone. Anyway, aside that, whats to say Madeleine didn’t have a little accident whilst on holiday? Something as simple as grazing her arm against something?
I really think its all a bit trivial…..

I know. The McCanns will go down in history as the best pair of jokers known to man.
As for people who don’t believe in body language, I remember my parents would know if as a teenager if I was lying. I was a pretty good kid but I remember my dad giving me a thrashing when he asked me if I had been smoking and I said no. I’ve never been a smoker but like the poor little kid on the film Kes - I had a mate’s box of matches in my back pocket and I swear my dad had x-ray eyes to know that. It was always body language that gave things away.

apologies - I’m catching up still on a day’s stuff but there is a joke:
Q: what does maddy want for her 4th birthday?
A: parents
September 24th, 2007 at 9:42 pm
Stevo and Garth - see the Mirror article
sundaymirror.co.uk/news/2007/09/11/the-maddy-file-89520-19766330/
The blood on the floor was not from a scab - I am surmising there were no clotting elements found amongst the sample taken from under the sofa.

It could have scabbed true. But looking at the force involved in the fall, my 15 month old daughter would be black & blue and in a hell of a bloody state then. She’s always tumbling over like Madeleine did in the photo.

“ps. standards is not spelt satnards”
Come on, Bulldump. I’m a bad typist typing fast. Don’t get like Judith C.
I hate to say it, B - but you do make me laugh occasionally, even with your filth. At least you are exploring the envelope.
In fact, I love you all. Wouldn’t change a single one of you. Diversity is life. Conformity is - well - yuk !
Oh God - more pomposity.
One of the hardest people to be stuck with is actually yourself ! It’s sort of 24/7, with a vengeance……….

671 Garth, huh?
September 24th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
668 - Rest
Yeah! Madeleine is part of her own abduction! That’s also possible…perhaps Madeleine wanted better parents - ones that would look after her or take her out in the evenings on family holidays!
September 24th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
Rest……….why don’t you just give it one?
September 24th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
Does anyone have any idea who else was at Chaplins on the night of May 3?
Surely there were other customers in the bar? I can’t believe the Tapas 9 commandeered the bar for themselves. Surely there’s other witnesses who saw the 9. How come there’s nothing reported about any other customers?

September 24th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
and Stig - look again on the video on the plane steps and you’ll see both girls fall at precisely the same time.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
He looks like that Patricia because he’s in a living hell.

But let’s give them the benefit of doubt for a moment. Let’s say Madeleine did cut herself there so badly that it dripped blood. Firstly, don’t you think her trouser leg would be badly stained and require washing? Don’t you think the parents would have remembered that months ago instead of coming out with the tale after getting grilled about the DNA evidence? Don’t you think a cut so bad would require medical attention and be remembered by all? And hey…it would surely have healed inside a week wouldn’t
Perhaps it scabbed and maybe she knocked off the scab?
Anyway, it doesn’t matter. Like you say the papers say it COULD have come from her falling over on the plane steps. Nothing more!
September 24th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
stevo put the pics in too
September 24th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
Has anyone noticed that many photos of Mr. McCann recently he appears in deep thought, almost like a trance?
Pictures of him at earlier dates before the disappearance are much different.
Oh well, I will check back later tonight.
