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.

Far be it from to stick my nose in (LOL), I would have a word with your Health Visitor if you have one, as the older the child, the more drugging they would need and this could have serious consequences as Calpol is a paracetamol based medication so liver/kidney failure is a real risk in these circumstances.

my step-sons mother gives her son calpol or the like to knock him out and gave us a nice big bottle so we could do the same to him (which we haven’t done btw) beginning to wonder if i should report it although i have no proof other than what she has said.

#374 Andy,
I would believe anything at this point.
If, in theory as always, there is truth to a death and a missing body, exactly how much will these people get away with, including all of the money collected, just amazes me.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
@rse, I not sure I quite following your line of argument what what

stevo, yes I see what you mean. I’m sorry if it seems I was making a big thing of your mentioning about the papers. I answered as soon as I read it and didn’t relise someone had already given you the link. I’ve seen it now that I went back to where I’d left off. I agree that a forum is meant to be interactive, I myself have tried to give links but it doesn’t work for me (obviously doing something wrong) I suggested the google bar ’cause I don’t live in the UK and that’s how I read the papers.
September 25th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Well, that was certainly a conversation killer, and to think I only came on to say “hi” - or is it possible you are all still painstakingly working out what message Arse is trying to convey?
September 25th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
I think this debate on Anorak has become a stale merry go round of repetition.Same old theories and speculations..whether it is doubters, Pros, or on the fence, posts.
To that I say I will be much richer by the end of the day.

Sorry, a lot of distractions but I do have a question.
If there are more dna results due soon then how is it known or reported accurately that the McCanns will not be charged with anything?
–
Your post nearly got lost in all the crap that followed it!
I suppose the simple answer is that anything that begins with “A source said…” can be safely ignored until such time as a name to go with the source is provided.
For instance, although I cannot remember the link, I read earlier this week that “according to a source” the Birmingham FSS was annoyed with PJ for misrepresenting the results of the earlier DNA samples and would not be sending any more results. Now how could that possibly be true? It didn’t stop the reporter (wish I could find the link) writing it as fact though.
September 25th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
McNotts… why have you changed your name yet again? something to hide?
September 25th, 2007 at 2:51 pm

Unless Team McCanno is moving to a “diversification strategy” versus the usual relatively intelligent “apologists” (e.g. simon). Perhaps now they want to show the Chavs support them too……
“innit”!
