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.

Hey ARSE, how did you know I was going to post something about you at 513?
September 25th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
They say you are what you eat, so ARSE must have eaten an awful lot of arseholes.

Talk about @rse by name, @rsehole by nature!
We don’t go out of our way to make our posts funny, but you should most definately NOT give up your day job to become a comedian as you are NOT funny in the least!
There is nothing remotely funny about foul language or abuse and certainly NOT anything laughable about the spelling and grammatical mistakes you make.
In fact the only laughable thing about you is…..YOU!
I doubt very much that you have the wit about you to see the logic in that, or the humour!

501 CHOPPER….thanks chopper your so kind
September 25th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Hey Arse calm down, or the warders will return you to your cell.
September 25th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Something definately happened to change him. I’ve always thought it was because she had a new boyfriend he was acting up, because that is the only thing that has changed. As it is he no longer stays over and he seems happy with that. I don’t know if it is pretending or not as he isn’t looking for attention from us.

These drawings are… a bit weird (to say the least)
I still don’t know when they were made. When googling ‘Arti Leimbacher’ you can’t have access to the Maddie thingys. Can you clear up who and when made these pictures? And how you stumbled upon these? Thanks!
September 25th, 2007 at 4:05 pm

Well if something doesn’t happen soon I’ll have to go and have a letch and watch the last 10 mins of Countdown.

I’d forgotten all about Miranda… There was a certain connection to Mandelson too I understand. And not unconnected to the fact that Mandy got away with several resigntion scandals and a dodgy mortgage before being banished to Brussels.
the other Bliar joke is of course his claim to be a guitar player…

About the site those pictures are on, flutgut. The guy’s Swiss and I found this info by performing a whois.
Directory: Arts / Visual_Arts / Personal_Pages / L

I hope that clears things up.
Also, I read all the way through this to be sure no one else had mentioned an article I just read on TimesOnline — “September 25, 2007
McCanns could face charges over security firm”
I’m not going to paste it, but the curiious will read it.

September 25th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
arse, as to your comments 481, the thing is, it just wasn’t funny. get over it and move on with your life.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
Well chaps it’s nearly 4 p.m. and coming up to the 6 o’clock news slot.
(in Anne Robinson mode)
So where’s the breaking story?
Somebody steal the McCanno set?
It’s time to dream up - the weakest storyline…

Don’t be so harsh Megz! Different children have different needs, and emotional responses vary from child to child.
He might need the comfort of his mother being close by as this is his way of coping with not having a full time father around. Also, he might have “regressed” since the appearance of the new boyfriend?
I think you should definately get this Calpol thing checked out though, but bear in mind, he might be “pretending” to get attention.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:54 pm
Oh, I like this site.
Winky Dink I forgot to write in time. I have the book. There are guys coming here and I am in my nitie. I must sign off for a while. I’ll be back later.

475. SSS. I saw that, it’s so sad.
I know how Rosemary felt; when I get into a stupid argument with someone I get very melodramatic and feel like the world is all over - (and a friend of my sister committed suicide, aged 16, when her boyfriend dumped her) - it’s a shame she didn’t talk to a friend. The school I went to told us it was our hormones that make us over react, so when I get anguished I just pace up and down or throw things, or cry till I get over it.
September 25th, 2007 at 3:53 pm
What, like your numeracy skills have?
