Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann Becomes Mum
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – I CRY EVERY DAY SAYS KATE”
“For the first time she reveals her torment” – Kate gives the papers what they want: tears
Pages 6 and 7: “Madleine’s mum: I can’t stop crying” – Kate McCann is no longer Kate McCann; she is above all things Madeleine’s mum
“Obviously nothing can compare with the night Madeleine went missing,” says mum. And Gerry – dad’s – worst moment? “I think when we were made suspects in our own daughter’s disappearance – when the inference was that Madeleine was dead and that, somehow, we were involved…”
Yes…
“But, no it can’t get any worse than that first night…”
DAILY MAIL page 7: “Some days I just can’t stop the tears, says Maddie’s mother”
“Second police chief quits the case” – Tavares Almeida has followed his boss Goncarlo Amaral and left the business of Madeleine McCann to another lucky Portuguese cop
DAILY MIRROR front page: “KATE McCANN SPEAKS AS NEVER BEFORE..Every day felt like a week”
Page 5: “Being named suspects, the idea that we were involved, was terrible. But NOTHING can compare to the trauma of the first night our Madeleine went missing”
Kate is a “locum GP”. Gerry is a “heart specialist”. These are the facts. And they remain unaltered
The couple give an interview as they visit the offices of the Leicester Mercury newspaper, where they are presented with a cheque for £57,000 from the sales of the Madeleine wristbands
THE SUN front page: “KATE’S MADDIE ORDEAL – NOTHING’S AS BAD AS THAT NIGHT. Mum tells of torment”
Page 6: “I weep for Maddie…but we still have hope”
Says Kate McCann: “I’ve had days when if I wasn’t crying for Madeleine, I was crying from the messages people have sent us”
The McCanns “say their lowest point…was when Portuguese police declared them ‘arguidos’ – formal suspects over their daughter’s disappearance”. So not the night Madeleine disappeared, as the Express says?
Gerry is a “cardiologist”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE – Kate: I cry for my daughter every day”
Page 8 and 9: “Finding Maddie had gone was far worse than being named suspect in killing”
THE TIMES page 14: “The twins are the only part of our lives that are normal”
Kate McCann says: “There is a semblance of normality returning. It’s more normal than it was three weeks ago, Amelie and Sean can see that. But really how can it be normal without Madeleine?”
THE INDEPENDENT page 8: “Second officer steps own from Madeleine inquiry” – Tavares Almeida. Bad Times, as Tavares were wont to say
THE GUARDIAN page 15: “Sacked Madeleine detective’s deputy seeks leave” – Senor Tavares. (Heaven Must be Missing An Angel)
DAILY TELEGRAPH front page: “KATE McCANN: THE DAILY TORMENT OF LIFE WITHOUT MADELEINE”
Page 3: “The McCanns have kept Madeleine’s room the same as it was. The twins are allowed in for a few minutes - “Otherwise, the door remains closed most of the time”
Detectives make notes.

I don’t think many here like or enjoy the idea of the parents being responsible for Maddie’s death and disappearance…..
the simple fact is that the parents, who have great resources at their disposal, as pointed out in the news article posted above, have not come up with anything significant that points in another direction and neither I fear have the police. Nor have the eyes of millions looking either.

Read this paragraph and see if you find it ominous:
“Kate said, “It really isn’t easy,” coping. “Some days are better than others. … There’s days when you think, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’ and you just want to press a button, and we’re all gone, and it’s all finished, and we’re all together and gone. Wherever. But you can’t, you know. Just occasionally you’ll have a — if you’re having a really bad day, which we do. And you can’t help but think that.”
This is from the CBSj

693 - Given the fact that Madeleine went missing in Portugal, it can’t be that safe.

698. I agree.
Also, stomach acids of most animals will destroy teeth, bone, etc…..the acid in a dog’s stomach will make great fun of bone in a matter of a few hours.
I suppose that’s way all the chatter about pigs.

693..Not everyonehere in england/britain is attacking portugal or the police,its just the mccann defenders,after all they have to blame something because they dont have an argument…..nuff said.
October 5th, 2007 at 10:53 pm
688 gotcha! you are seriously delusional,brings to mind that old saying about being savaged by a dead sheep.

Could you just let me into Majorca? You can have the rest to yourself

693 - Andy
I know. The way some Brits still have that Imperialistic attitude makes me so angry. It’s as if they have an “if it’s not British - it’s no good” attitude. Considering crime is lower in Portugal it really is a load of tosh for Brits to think the PJ are useless.

663 pray for little souls
I think an abductor would have wanted to try and move her without waking her so would have moved cuddlecat out of her grasp to get it out of the way then lifted her up carefully.

Hilarious. Good job.

I like this. It’s a comment in response to a Telegraph article but applies equally as here as well.
“The German nickname for us Brits is “insel-affen”, which translates as “island apes”. Judging by the proportion of ignorant, ill-informed, semi-literate, xenophobic posts here it appears some of the island apes have actually learned to read and write - after a fashion.
Let me tell you something. I worry far more about the safety and well being of my family, relatives and friends while they are in the UK than when they are visiting me here in Portugal. So to those of you who would condemn Portugal and the Portuguese people solely on the basis of what you have watched on Sky News or read in the tabloid press please take your own advice, stay at home and kindly do me the favour of not making me ashamed to be British.”
There are some people on here who make me ashamed to be British (though there never was anything there really to be proud of anyway) with their constant attacks on the Portuguese Police.
Anyway I was wondering if I could make a similar request, please stay away from Spain too.

662 its not the disposing of the flesh that is the problem will,it is the bone and the teeth,there was a foolproof way of disposing of bodies used by al capone,quite simply the huge smelting buckets in the chicago steel works had some extra ingredients,problem solved.
October 5th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
Must go do chores….
Does anyone know if Madeleine was baptised?
October 5th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
From another fantasy movie……… Ive changed the last verse a little……….
Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew?
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two…
The candyman, the candyman can,
The candyman can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good…
Who can take a rainbow,
Wrap it in a sigh?
Soak it in the sun and make the stra’bry lemon pie
The candyman? The candyman can…
The candyman can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good…
The Candyman makes
everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious.
Talk about your childhood wishes.
You can even eat the dishes!
Who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream?
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream,
The MCcandyman? The MCCandyman can, the MCcandyman can…
The MCcandyman can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good…
And the world tastes good
’cause the MCcandyman thinks it should…

Look at Kate in the last seconds of this video - her neck and the unconscious smile.
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91210-1279396,00.html
It looks like the reaction of someone who knows her whereabouts to me.
October 5th, 2007 at 10:43 pm
676. OK. Gotcha. It’s all in the ether around us. Cool… That’s how we know they did it. Yeah! All’s clear now. Thanks for the explanation. And good night :-))
October 5th, 2007 at 10:43 pm
Will - will you give us updates until then? I’m very curious about the acid bath.
Also does anyone know if it’s possible to determine if ashes are human or canine?
October 5th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
twins should be fine if they lock the doors and dont f*9k off for a curry.
October 5th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Random thought re “The Priest”… (Is he curculating again yet?)
Assuming he actually knows anything at all about the case. Can the police question him and make him an arguido if he refuses to answer certain questions? Is this the sort of thing the police wouldn’t do for fear of causing offence with the wider public in Portugal?
October 5th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Misdeeds can be executed that at first glance appear ordinary and normal but they are not. Depends on how freaky the person doing the stuff appears….?
Sideways glances, quick jerky and unsure movement……nervous behaviors. Of course, stuffing a body in a trunk would cause alarm, if it appeared to be a body.

God bless little Madeleine McCann wherever she is.

Edit…..
So I think that any number of people can look for Madeleine, they will not find her. But I think I know who knows where she is.

Presumably you have informed the police and are awaiting your ‘reward’?
