Madeleine McCann: A House Of Love, Find the Body & What Kate McCann Screamed
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE. ‘FIND BODY OR McCANNS WILL ESCAPE’ – Prosecutors ultimatum to Portuguese police.”
The case against Kate and Gerry McCanns is “hanging by a thread”.
A police sources says: “There is a determination within the force to bring this investigation to a satisfactory conclusion but there is a growing fear that without a body, that goal will be impossible.”
Pages 4 and 5: “Our reputation is tarnished forever” – Each day the McCanns prepare themselves for the “worst case scenario”. No, not that they will be wrongly convicted, rather they will learn of Madeleine’s death.
Clarence Mitchell says: “In the middle of this people forget this is still a family who are potentially facing bereavement but are still in that awful limbo position of not knowing what has happened to their daughter.” Thankfully Mr Mitchell is on hand to remind people of this every day.
“Doubts on the McCanns by a lie detector expert” – THE WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER asks John Ryan, of International Truth Verification Technologies Institute, to listen to Kate McCann’s voice. Says she: “However I think there is some sort of deception when I hear the lady speaking, either over the event or in avoiding showing her true feelings”.
DAILY MIRROR front page: “MADELEINE – find a body or there is no case.”
Page 5: “Gerry and Kate have often talked about the possibility of Madeleine being found dead. That would be the worst news but it would at least give them some..CLOSURE”. So says a “source close to the legal team”.
Antonio Cluny, President of the Public Prosecution Service, says: “Without the little girl’s body, everything is complicated… In the Maddy case, there is no confession and, according to what has been made public, the evidence gathered up until now keeps all leads open – from abduction to homicide or at least to a simple accident”.
DAILY MAIL front page: “EXCLUSIVE: Eyewitness reveals Maddie’s mother DID shout: ‘They’ve taken her’ after four-year-old vanished. WHAT KATE DID SCREAM.”
Nanny Charlotte Pennington is in Praia da Luz. She hears Kate McCann scream: “They’ve taken her, they’ve taken her!” The McCanns say Kate screamed “Madeleine’s gone”.
Sensation. Front-page news.
Page 4: “Nanny Pennington, who worked at the Ocean Club, is pictured. She’s wearing a brown beret and a pink coat. Her tights are black. Her legs are crossed.
“I was in the apartment less than five minutes after they found that Madeleine had gone. When we were coming out we saw Kate and she was screaming: ‘They’ve taken her, they’ve taken her’… It might not have been the first thing she said. But she definitely said it.”
So…
“She also repeated Madeleine’s name and said: ‘She’s gone, she’s gone.’”
Anyone hear anything else?
THE SUN page 24: “MADDIE LAW CHIEF: NO BODY, NO CASE.” Antonio Clunes says: “There have been cases in which it was possible to obtain a conviction without a victim – but there were confessions.”
But the McCanns are innocent, says a source. And they are not confessing. They are talking through their spokesperson.
DAILY STAR front page: “COPS CLOSE IN ON MADDIE. Final pieces of tragic jigsaw falling into place.”
Pages 4 and 5: “FIND THE BODY OR THEY WALK. Law bosses tell Portuguese cops to step up hunt.”
“TWINS’ HOUSE OF LOVE” – Clarence Mitchell says the McCanns have built a “house of love” for their family. Mr Mitchell says the McCanns are living “every parent’s worst nightmare times ten”. Mr Mitchell used to work for the tabloid press.
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 13: “Case against McCanns ‘rests on finding body’.”
Clarence Mitchell says: “They did not harm, let alone kill her.”
THE TIMES page 11: “No body, no conviction says McCann police.”
THE GUARDIAN & THE INDEPENDENT: No Madeleine news.

September 26th, 2007 at 12:14 am
Krissie - now that you are back, please let me have the one example of where I have accused the McCanns of murder. Either provide an example or an apology please.
September 26th, 2007 at 12:12 am
Prove it Krissie!
Where is the evidence?
All we have to go on is your sympathising and denials of neglect by the McCanns and friends.
Almost as good as a McCann lie but took too long to think up methinks!!!
September 26th, 2007 at 12:11 am
I really dont know
maybe brians dreams
wish 99 post would come back and explain all

1127 - krissie. Why have you deleted all your postings?

Watch the clip again (link above) with the sound off, and note how Gerry Mccon may as well be talking about his favourite garden flower - not a sign of emotion or anger at being asked a monstrous question - did you drug your daughter?
September 26th, 2007 at 12:09 am
1211 - I have a degree in Psychology and concur completely. Classical signs of telling porkies.
September 26th, 2007 at 12:08 am
Tony Bennett - having read the various reports, I think that GM said he did see Maddie when he checked but noticed the open door and assumed that it was due to her wandering off earlier to go to the loo/find a drink. I make no comment (others having posted extensively on the feasibility of this and its nonsense being rather self-evident).
brandoflour - who are the paintings by?
September 26th, 2007 at 12:08 am
Spindoctor. To the contrary, if you go look through my posts from the past 2 hours and you will find I admit it is certainly possible the McCanns are guilty and yet, I do not KNOW whether they are, and NEITHER DO YOU.
As for my children, you have entirely misjudged the situation! What a surprise! Just like you have jumped to insane and insulting and bizarre conclusions about the McCanns, without any evidence whatsoever! Coincidence? I think not.
I was raised by my mother and , yes, one afternoon a week, my children go for a visit at their grandmothers because she likes it, and so do they. She makes ginger cookies with them. Clearly an abusive situation, eh?

now read this:

then watch the clip again

Anyone else notice that all of Krissie’s posts have now disappeared. Talk about giving it out but not being able to take it……whaow.
Feel sorry for all the other pro-McCanners. They seemed to value her contribution.

I have remove her posts, she’s just flammable, neither pro nor anti and not adding much apart from trouble

No, sorry, something I thought I’d read in a newspaper or on the Net. Will post again if I find anything about it. I would imagine that the German news magazine ‘Bild’ would have got the diagram directly from Mark Warner

1121 - Tony, check the video again. That is not what was asked and the film was cut differently to the way the McCanns expected it to be…
September 26th, 2007 at 12:06 am

Here’s the clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMUdynuECbE
Fin any body language expert worth his salt who will not say the Mcconns are lying in this clip
September 26th, 2007 at 12:05 am
1115 - Ok. I i’ll be happy to provide an alternative (or two) that would suggest (not prove) that the McCanns were innocent of abduction/accidental/wilful murder.
If you promise to the call me pro McCann.
Ok?

1101 krissie — says (September 25th, 2007 at 11:49 pm): “And Ian, I would like to point out, there is ZERO EVIDENCE the McCanns gave their children even ONE sedative tablet, much less five. Shame on you for pretending this is fact, when it’s nothing but rumour and innuendo!!”
REPLY: Not true, Krissie. There is a video clip of Gerry McCann being asked a straight question by a Portuguese journalist: “Have you ever given any of your children sedatives?”.
There are at least six tell-tale signs of lying in the one clip as he struggles to answer this question:
(1) lowers his voice
(2) turns his head away (just as Kate does when having to answer a difficult question)
(3) scratches ear
(4) gives long rambling answer
(5) smiles slightly as he’s answering the question
(6) says ‘there’s no way I would do anything like that’ not ‘I have never done that and never would do’.
Check this out with experts in body language and verbal signs of lying.
That is enough evidence for most of us. There may well be yet more to come
September 26th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Krissie. I notice that your post suggesting that I had accused the McCanns of murder has disappeared. I wonder why?

End of mystery, I have been removing her posts, one of our trouble makers back under a new banner.

“weekend parents denial syndrome”
A new phrase for pro mc canns
September 26th, 2007 at 12:01 am
1104 - Tony Bennett
I forgot to ask you–do you have a link to a source that includes the comments made by the Mark Warner’s rep re. the bedroom door?
September 26th, 2007 at 12:00 am
maybe it was the new nanny saving her from her parents and giving them to her baron sister/friend
and maddies with pam ewing like lady being cared for all the time!
oh we hope
September 26th, 2007 at 12:00 am
krissie
you can continue on with your Mccon defence line of “the other kids dont like me because I’ve got ginger hair”, but until you address the inconsistences in their stories, the constant changing of witness reports and the numerous instances of bizarre behaviour by the parents, you will convince no one.

1104 Tony Bennett
I’m so glad you take the time to enumerate all the reasons why you have an opinion on something and using calm, careful, deliberate explanations.
I’d give the pro-McCann group more seriously if they actually enter a debate on specific items that the skeptics have problems with in this case. But you’re right, most don’t seem interested in the facts, theories, or logic, just in using their words to bludgeon those that don’t agree with them.
September 26th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Krissie - tut tut - a visit to grandmas eh????
Perhaps you is a muther that leves er kids wiv other peeps a lot????
You can sympathise with the McCanns as they left their kids in creches and with other people or even on their own at a drop of a hat.
Go on tell me how you have to work - but remember you probably pay a wage to someone else to look after and bring/drag your kids up - so at the end of the day you work for peanuts.
Poor grandma is probably bringing up your kids for you - who brought you up - was it grandma? I bet she stayed at home and looked after you!
Of course I have no evidence for any of this being true - apart from the fact you cannot bring yourself to say the McCanns did something wrong!!!!!
September 25th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
strange paintings don’t you think? She or he is an artist!
September 25th, 2007 at 11:58 pm
1104. Tony Bennett
4. Second version - might not have seen Madeleine after all. She might have gone to the loo or to get a drink.
Did he actually say that? Do you have a link? I thought I had seen that aswell but everything I’ve found is him saying definately saw Madeleine but door was open so she may have gone to toilet or to get a drink previously

1079 Ian Willis
Still would like to know the following, as I have not read this..
Where did you hear about the McCanns going to a town 5km away at night without the kids? Can I have a link please?

Interesting use of the word ‘innuendo’
I had been wondering how the sedatives had been administered.
