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.

Agreed… I was just looking at the pictures and thought the resemblance was there.

305 - Stevo. Then why put it in quotation marks?

Sadly, most teens use that txt-spk these days and the lower case “i’s”. I’m sure the papers used the term High Tea and not necessarily Ms. Pennington.

I think we have well and truly kicked the arse out of Madeleine related threads on Anorak, we all know who’s side the posters are on etc. Everyone just seems to repeat themselves now, I say repeat themselves now.
Maybe it is time for a period of quiet reflection.
September 25th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Yeah Right Karen! I’m a writer and I say that when I’m spending too much time on assorted sites….
what are you researching for? publication? dissertation?

This is Charlotte Pennington - the nanny

298 - laura. Good observation.

#278 Andy,
I read the link.
Considering the death theory and if the information provided in the link correct I would assume that the child COULD have been found dead and removed without Mrs. McCann knowing.

I think moderation remembered it wrongly. It was 3rd May and there were 9 people (well for some of the time…) and there was a quiz… remember now?
September 25th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
Portugal police should not waist time looking for body- because they will nether fined it. Mccans were stying so long in Portugal until made sure all the ends are covered. After that is mush easier to look into your own mama eyes.
Look at Kate at the beginning: Gary was talking and she was always stying speechlessly next to him , holding his hand (FOR VERY NEEDED SUPPORT) with the face down and now she looks strait, her chin is up - very big change.
September 25th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
ade your post 279. why are you talking in riddles. what are you trying say.?
September 25th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
288. Stevo.
Re. http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=5678856
I don’t think that’s her. There’s no mention of “high tea” as far as I can tell in amongst all that “teen-speak” that I can’t decipher despite having two teenaged daughters!
September 25th, 2007 at 2:00 pm
276. Moderation, I am researching.

September 25th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
the other night I went out for a meal, there were 11 of us there. I couldn’t have told an inquiry at what time anyone went to the loo / the bar / outside for a cigarette / make a phone call. I know what time we got there because it was pre-arranged and that’s about it. And I was on the diet coke!
Think about it.
How do you keep up so well with all of us on there then? That is what I would like to know?
September 25th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
288 Stevo
Yup that would be her….
You get a merit point today!
;o)

Wot? Students on here you are having a laugh. Do you have any idea what time students get up? Any studentwho has got up is more likely down the pub or in “social tennis” activities, I’d say.

284 - ARSE
You’re right. I am on the Internet and that’s what I did - I asked for a link.
At least I can spell. Look in the mirror - maybe you’re the pleb.

A source who has knowledge of the Leicestershire inquiry, said, “some bull about the McCanns not being charged.”
While a real person with knowledge of the Leicestershire inquiry, said, “As the inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is a Portuguese police investigation it is not appropriate for us to comment on it. Our role is to assist the Portuguese authorities, when and if they request it, with UK based inquiries.
“But because it is a Portuguese investigation, and because of the judicial system there, we are not able to disclose the nature of those inquires

Don’t bother with them… As I’ve said before I can’t see any point in being two people. It must waste so much energy in trying to remember which personality you are and what you said and you get tangled up in your own web of lies. Take note tapas 9
The fact that the McCannics do it is symptomatic of the whole Team McCannPR circus an is what got them in deep trouble in the first place.
Give ‘em enough rope eh?
September 25th, 2007 at 1:52 pm
STEVo 266…..are you a total pleb or what. your on the bloody internet so you dont need the papers. Why dont you look at the various papers on line……derrrr
September 25th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Is this the nanny (”Charlotte Pennington”):
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0672161/
Or just a coincidence?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=483773&in_page_id=1770&ct=5
So this is the latest “spin”.
No charges.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
271. Yeah, I was trying to remember them. Often it’s after someone gets landed with a question they can’t answer and then the random names start.
I’ve only ever posted under Karen and if you went through all my posts you could probably work out where I live and my entire life story. I have to learn to be more discreet.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
269 - Malou. For weeks and weeks, Gerry went to CHECK the children at 9.30.
First edition of the story say that he didn’t actually see M. asleep.
Then the second revised edition came out that he noticed she was not in her bed but assumed she has in the parents room.
That edition was embellished to suggest that he assumed she had gone up to get a class of water or something.
We then were treated to a completely new edition in which he saw her alseep.
In yesterday’s paperback version - he thinks that an abductor was hiding behind the door.
However, because the door into the kids bedroom seems to open outwards, this version has been dropped.

232 apologies caroline but you could get a job on the Team. Whether you believe in building things out of McCannoSets or not you can put a few words together - better than the McCannics themselves.
And they would have thought On Message. they will probably nick it from you ;-(
