Madeleine McCann: The Nanny Suspect, Amaral Policing And Jail
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
SUNDAY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE MYSTERY. BRING IT ON.”
The Sunday Express is not the Express, which has form some weeks led with the front-page banner “MADELEINE”. The Sundays Express goes its own way.
“McCanns remain defiant as they face 40 questions from UK police this week”
“Kate and Gerry’s fury as new sighting in Morocco by businessman is ignored”
SUNDAY MIRROR front page: “MADDIE HUNT: THE TRUTH.”
The truth… At last…
“DISGRACE.”
A picture of Madeleine McCann (on the right). A picture of Portuguese copper Goncarlo Amaral (left).
“Police have ignored 250 sightings of her” – and have investigated how many?
“Cop leading police probe works four hours a day” – Amaral’s not overworked and fresh.
“He has three-hour boozy lunches with pals” – Amaral holds lengthy meetings to discuss and masticate over the case with team.
“Puffing on a cigarette and knocking back beers, the man leading the world’s biggest missing child inquiry enjoys yet another long, boozy lunch.”
Good to know that the Mirror is not wasting its time and watching him.
STAR ON SUNDAY: “THREATS TO McCANNS.”
“Friends say the couple are ‘extremely concerned’ by the nature of the threats and are considering hiring extra security.
Last night a spokeswoman for the McCanns, both 39, confirmed that they had been sent what she described as ‘negative letters and fear mail’.”
INDEPENDENT: “Maddie ‘kidnapped by maid’, says email.”
“The McCanns’ spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, said they were ‘encouraged’ by the development.”
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Kate McCann will risk jail to find Madeleine
Kate McCann has been told by her legal team that she faces jail sentence if she flouts Portuguese law to discuss details of the four-year-old’s disappearance in a high-profile television interview.
She tells a “close friend”: “I will do what I must. What does any of it matter if it helps find Madeleine?”
“It is what Kate thinks will help,” a close friend tells the paper. “What choice does she have? Unless Kate and Gerry ignore the law and speak out, their chances of finding Madeleine will dwindle further. Better to risk prison if it helps find her.
“Will the Portuguese police really prosecute a mother whose sole aim is to find her daughter or at least, God forbid, discover the whereabouts of her body? Kate, most of all, believes risking a jail sentence is nothing compared to finding Madeleine.”
Who needs an interview with Kate with friends like that?
THE OBSERVER: “This limbo that lasts a lifetime,” writes Carol Sarler.
“The McCanns are said to be devastated by dashed hopes; if so, they must get used to it, for there will be more sightings, more dashing and, to add to their misery, more harassment of more innocent families. I know this because, having investigated the disappearance of Ben Needham on Kos in 1991, the unfolding of the McCann case has felt like one long, wretched, groundhog summer.
“Ben, recapped in a nutshell: his grandparents, Eddie and Chris Needham, moved from Sheffield to Kos with their teenage son Stephen, daughter Kerry and her boyfriend and their son, Ben…
“…The singular difference between the Needhams and the McCanns is, crudely, class. Eddie has homemade tattoos on his knuckles, Chris was a grandmother at 38, Kerry and her boyfriend - a man known, as they say, to the police - lived in a council block. Perhaps this explains why, throughout their ordeal, nobody from the British consulate in Athens once got off their butt or went to Kos to help or support; surgeon Gerry McCann, by contrast, mobilised the world.”
“Arabic adverts aid Madeleine hunt”… “Despite the disappointment of last week’s misleading sighting of a blonde girl in the Moroccan town of Zaio, the McCanns believe that their daughter might be somewhere in the country.”
TIMES: No Madeleine news today.

482 452 firestar
Mainly acoustic ragtime/slide/blues now. Still got the red strat and a few other boxes going back to late 60s.
Back out of retirement and in demand after what seems like a lifetime. Solid Air, Nick Drake, Renbourn/Jansch - funny though the kiddies think it’s “new”
Which reminds me - bit more practice then Bird Bremmo and Fortune…

they should make you register.

If these blood samples were sent to forensics a little faster..then YES!! no body is needed..But at this point..Highly doubt anything will happen w/out a body
September 30th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Firestar - if the ‘bodily fluids’ were from a corpse that would then indicate she is dead.
Those stairs look wicked too.
A T9er brought her upstairs and into the apartment to ‘treat’ her. Hence blood splatter in the apt. Nothing they could do to revive her so Plan B is to hide the body. Because she was drugged.

could you clone a sheep?

454.
That wasn’t me. I don’t particulary care that someone chose the same name as me but it would be nice if there was some safeguard in place whereby one chooses a user name and is stuck with it, as can be seen on other forums.
September 30th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
475..I know what DNA is!!!!!!!! So you tell me..why are they not prosecuted yet??? Obviously there has been way too much contamination..So in REALITY, w/out a body..it would be very difficult..

nice post tony.

469 26 et al.
It’s simply LUDICROUS. The tapas 9, the nanny are all on the piss all of the time and then they accuse the PJ of having a sherbet or two during siesta. LUDICROUS, I say.
By the way anyone else noticed that they seem to have dropped that word. What a LUDICROUS thing to do…
September 30th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
388 - Tony Bennet. You are really brilliant. We could use a few good men like you over in the U.S.. I need to hire a good attorney, and quite frankly, you’d be my pick if you were over here. Damn, you’re good!!!
Funny thing is, I pictured Moderation looking EXACTLY like that.
I won’t comment on the 95 vs. 25 age progression or which side I’m partial towards, but 25 it ain’t.
Woo - Hoo!!
Now, all you gotta do is uncover where Madeleine is and you my dear, are GOLDEN. Quite an impressive dude you are…..don’t worry, you don’t know me. But I don’t miss too much out there.
I’ve been watching you….

One example of the costs involved in billboard advertising. Of course the price may be cheaper in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, but still it doesn’t appear £80000 buys much.
http://www.cabvertise.co.uk/costcom.html
500 national panels approximately £325,000 plus VAT
200 national panels approximately £300,000 plus VAT
1 site per year approximately £3,380 plus VAT
September 30th, 2007 at 6:45 pm
there was blood in a place there shouldn’t have been.
remember that?

Gordon Brown

George Bush
Richard Branson
Prince charles
What a great team. Hope they dont forget me!
September 30th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
But I suppose the PJ knew of this previously and are leaking info slowly to watch the McC’s squirm. Eddie’s counterpart (who’s the Blood hound?) would have sniffed that out prior to entering the apt.
I’m still backing the dogs….
September 30th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
Also from that article.
“The Find Madeleine fund has spent £80,000 on billboard adverts to be shown in Spain, Portugal and Morocco and private investigators are searching in North Africa amid fears Portuguese police have failed to investigate a series of reported sightings there.”
–
Because everyone knows that the Portuguese police have jurisdiction in North Africa and are always sending officers off to investigate sightings.

AIDS OR AAID OR WHATEVER YOU CAL YOURSELF ILL TRY THAT oh i see thats really good i dint no you could do that WOW

468. You might want to update your understanding of criminal prosecution. You see there’s this stuff called “DNA”. A body is no longer needed to prosecute. Plenty of cases have been brought to trial without a body and the prosecution has won.
September 30th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
466..somebody was using my name and your name together..that’s why i thought it was you
September 30th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
firestar - on the subject of books, how about guitar books? Chord shapes in open tunings, Stuff on Nick Drake, combo DVD-book tutors. Acoustic is popular again now - after 35 years it’s all coming back to a new generation…
September 30th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
once you take away all the crap
September 30th, 2007 at 6:42 pm
this feels to me like it might well be the real story.
September 30th, 2007 at 6:41 pm
i made it up, but i think it’s the only logical way if you don’t have a gas-powered freezer.

Nanny Pennington was sacked by Mark Warner (for not turning up after a night of partying) so she needs some cash coming in – as I said yesterday they should have used this photograph of her instead of that “thinking on the bench” one:

***************************
I’m surprised to learn the Mark Warner Resorts sacked the nanny for not showing up and for partying instead? Isn’t that exactly what Kate and Gerry chose to do as well?
September 30th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
Without a body..There is no evidence..It’s sad, but true…
September 30th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
Dexter likes the cling wrap.

436 IT AINT ME USING YOUR NAME
438 THAT IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS
September 30th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
“The only thing to investigate is how the body disappeared.”
“How can you tell what anyone died of without a body, it flies in the face of reason.
i guess this is the 150 day announcement.
September 30th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
Just saw the stair report. Now that is a different twist. Did she fall down the stairs because she was drugged?
