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.

Also Megz, when the mother goes out and leaves him, is he left alone?

It is a quiet day, maybe too quiet.
Anyway, to liven things up, read this in the Telegraph - part of an article in which the Portuguese vent their spleen about the Doctors McCann having retained a private investigative agency - any such private initiative is deeply offensive to those steeped in the Portuguese traditions of authoritarianism - one does not wish to speak ill of our European partners. However, Portuguese is not too many years removed from a dictatorship (not saying that is a bad thing mine). hence, today’s senior PJ would have started as the rossers of a dictatorship - they many not be the decent coves we are use to over here what what
Anyway, history lesson over. Here is the quote
“Antonio Martins, president of the National Association of Portuguese Judges, told the newspaper 24 Horas: “It is still up to the state to carry out criminal investigation. That kind of activity has no legal standing.
Anything that results from private investigation has no substance.”
Let us put that statement, attributed to a senior P. judicial figure under the microscope
Does it not follow from that if, for the sake of argument, the ex SAS were to find MM alive, apprehend her adductor and return MM to her parents, those developments would have no legal standing or substance and the PJ would continue to, relying on barking cadaver dogs etc, to contend that MM was beleived to be dead at the hands of her parents.
Does not inspire confidence

Arse spends his entire life upside down so that when he talks the sound isn’t muffled.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I think you might be right as he was still awake after 1am that night. Will speak to my G.P about it.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
Arse got his name because his mother looked at his face and thought it was his arse.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
#440 Chopper, LOL
My Daddy taught me most of what I know. I didn’t learn it at school. What he missed I either figured out or learned the hard way. I am assuming you are a guy. Also, ladies don’t really need to get too smart… I will get in trouble with some of them on this site if I go any further than that. LOL

Or he could be a member of the PJ thinking he has the British accent down pact.

436 Megz
It sounds like he might have a dependancy problem, whereby he can only sleep with the help of the Calpol, as his body is now reliant on it and unused to going to sleep “naturally”.
I don’t know which area you live in, but I would contact his school and find out which health clinic is the local one, call them and ask for advise from a H.V., or alternatively, contact your own G.P. and ask them for advise.
I am assuming that the father of this child is your partner/husband? If so, perhaps you could both go to the G.P?

or cockish?

#424,
Sorry, the phone keeps ringing and I lose my train of thought.
What you ask could be a long conversation…
One thought is what someone wrote earlier on this forum about a psychologist saying people can convince themselves to believe something they repeat over and over. If that is true, maybe the McCanns will never realize they have done anything wrong, if, in fact, they have.
I have another version if you get bored.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:26 pm

Arse is universal but made famous in the Father Ted sitcom set in Ireland but made by British Channel 4. In particular the drunked Farger Jack Hackett is fond of saying
Feck arse drink girls as a way of drawing attention to the fact that his Paddy’s whisky bottle is empty and he cannot find hos bottle of Toilet Duck chaser.
Yer is originally a westcountry term Cornwall, Devon, Somerset mainly as in yer tiz meaning “here it is” (old chap implied)

Who? Wot?
September 25th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
no he was fine by this point. He has been very strange since May. He had been staying over with his big brother for over a year but in May he started crying to go home. He made up excuse after excuse so he went home, this continued for a couple more weekends (particularly if she was going out) til it was decided just his brother would stay. Then last month we deicided to try again with him (this was when she gave the calpol and said to just give it to him to knock him out) so he was fine all day then at 9pm he phoned his mum and started crying saying he wanted to go home but she was out and said he had to stay. So he said he had a sore head and we gave him calpol, he came and asked for some more at about 11pm but he was fine and was told no.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:22 pm

What Happened???!
I’m trying to catch up - I’ve been away for a week on vacation/holiday. When I left the police were going to seize GM’s computer, KM’s Diary and Cuddle Cat AND call Kate back in for questioning. When I Google it there’s no mention of any of this past the 14th.
Did I not miss anything juicy leaks this past week???
One theory is after the McCanns refused to answer the police questions in Portugal they hired Clarence to spin out more of the samO excuses. Suddenly the UK dogs are useless, the Germans are illegal, the Americans are nosy excecpt when they come in handy, and any evidence is suddenly misleading and more recently indications there will be no further questioning or charges. All the while there are four high profile lawyers and Clarence dancing around outside the twins pre-school type mentality. Just to catch you up a little, Clarence job is to spin and, in theory, the reason he might be spinning out so much so fast is to distract the rest of us from notice what could be going on under the table and behind the scenes. That is one possibility. What Clarence doesn’t realize is unless he shows up with Madeleine he gets an F so he took a job which will quite likely prove him to be a failure if graded by what is suppose to be the intended purpose. Hopefully I am wrong but I think for now that is something to consider while you catch up on the case.
