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.

484 WELL CHOPPER THATS AN INTERESTING COMMENT BUT WHAT THE F##K ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I THINK YOUR EDUCATION HAS COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU!
September 25th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
#482 ,
I don’t know. My guess is to throw away the book, keep them with you, and follow your instinct. YES.
Remember that in the past some families had ten or eleven children. There was no book.

Naaah it was the Arsene Wenger tattoo…
September 25th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Arse’s missus is called Venga.

More like he decided (wisely) to remove his Arsenal tattoo, but could only fund 3/7 of the job and (foolishly) commissioned the removal of the letters “nal”, rather than “ars” - which could reduced the problem down to to enal - actually, on reflection, this could have been worse what what
September 25th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
479 WOULD YER LIKE ME TER COME BACK YOU OLD RIDE?
September 25th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
470 sss
To a chav that’s called “foreplay” or “courting”
September 25th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Being a scrounging twat, they call him Arse because he is always on the bum.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
469 sss LIKE I SAID BEFORE I THOUGHT YOU WERE PISSING OFF SO WHY DONY YER. I THINK PEOPLE ON HERE CAN DEFEND THEMSELVES WITH THE HELP OF A NOSY SOUTH AFRICAN . SO BACK OFF AND GET A LIFE. I SAID I WAS ONLY HAVING A LAUGH. GET A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

No she has plenty of family nearby to babysit. That was something else he said that night, he said she was always out with her boyfriend and leaves them with their gran. When my husband mentioned this to his big brother he said that was a load of rubbish as did his mother when we said to her. Personally i think he has just been so used to having his mother to himself that he doesn’t want her spending any time with someone else. Before all this i wouldn’t have taken him for being a mummy’s boy but apparently he is quite used to crawling into her bed if he wakes up. My son is the same age as him and if he tried getting into my bed he’d soon be told where to go.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
#477 That much I figured out, yes.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
Damn, it was fun coming up with Arse jokes.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
He got the name Arse as he couldn’t bear the pain to finish his Arsenal tattoo off.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
#470 Oh, I will see it to the end. YES. If you think people are going to win at something the should NOT then at least make them work for it. YES.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Then there’s
Q: Where were you when they gave out the brains?
A: Don’t tell me, complaining about your face.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Just to come slightly off the Madeleine Mccann story, but still pertaining to “missing children”. Did anyone see the story of Rosemary Edwards? She was found dead in woods, apparently a suicide - she hanged herself.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
465. What, are you really a sane poster and not a troll? Why did you keep it up so long?
September 25th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
They even called him Arse at school because he was always behind.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
465 laura
yep they’ve all been at it like rats up drainpipes
September 25th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
DeDeDe,
All it takes is figuring out what the smart guys like, spend the rest of the time splashing around in the dead sea water and soaking up the rays.
I better leave and come back when Winky Dink gets home.

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
Completely agree with you there!! When new people come on board, it starts all over again. The same old same old is rehashed. Time to get off the merry go round. Maddy iis not coming home again…and people on here who don’t already know that, need to get a reality check. The parents are going to walk..
And the little girl is the littlest victim in all of this.
I suppose there will be some on here who will stick through to the bitter end. And I have a pretty good idea who some of them will be. But I won’t be one of them. That’s for sure!! Trial or no Trial. This is chaos…..not my cup of tea

A fine one you are to talk about getting nasty.
I suppose calling Karen a “slapper” was your own special way of declaring love?
September 25th, 2007 at 3:42 pm

very funny - I suddenly remembered the expression about someone having a “face like a slapped arse”. Sadly most people wear clothes so ya don’t see many slapped arses in the flesh so to speak… Well not in my very sheltered backwater anyway…
September 25th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
When Arse loses his voice he uses Senokot.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
for a so called lawyer you use stange logic for your closing arguement.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
well that was fun while it lasted. you lot dont half get wound up dont you know. I was only trying to brighten things up a little, but my word some of you really do get rather personal and quite nasty even. Just for the record I am certainly not pro mccann and as far as im concerned they should lock the mcnastys up for life and throw away the key. Anyway sorry for all the nonsense i was just bloody bored of the lack of news and thought it might be fun. See YER later ….

Arse, you are being tedious, find something better to do
September 25th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Read -Andy -211 I agree .
I thing among these friends are couples of love triangles. Kate is cute. I can imagine that Mr. O’Brien or Mr Oldfield can fined her cute too. What’s the name of the one who just pop up at 8 pm into apartment to eyewitnesses that Madeline WAS in bed. What was the reason for him to make this “emergency visit”? Who was at home in this moment? Just Kate? Gary is at Tennis?
September 25th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Arse got his name from the fact that he got his sex education from the stray dogs in his street, for years he went round smelling women’s arses.

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
September 25th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
I think it’s very helpful of Mr/Mrs/Ms/Dr/doctor ARSE to use upper case. It saves valuable time in picking out which posts to skip over, I feel.
