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.

Anyone watch on the dreaded Five channel The Most Evil..a doccie about different types of murderers and this shrink who measures with a scan their brain functions and has put them in sections.? The first was Sally Smith thee USA woman who murdered her 2 young kids.. ( the deceptive murders he called her type) …by tying them into car and shoving car into a lake.She went to police shouting abducted and went on TV and to press and made a huge hallaballo and had half of USA out looking for her missing kids. He said she hot off on all the attention and her deception of public and media.. she even passed one polygraph test so had she convinced herself of her abduction story .. she failed the next 2 tests..and cried and cried.. but he noted, with not one single real tear..and she prayed constantly.he said she was classic” Murderer by Deception” ..deceiving police/ public and media….. in the end she confessed to killing her kids and when asked why she said they were in the way.!!! Shipman was mentioned as another one “by deception” Because they are so adept at deception they are hard to catch because they are so “normal,and nice, and hardworking and generous and sociable” etc…..nobody who knows them has bad word to say about them so ordinary are they.Quite different to predatory killers…. interesting…..

see 777. I believe it is sex dependant. The more he gets..
October 5th, 2007 at 11:56 pm
OH God!!! I used the wrong ‘their’ - I hate that…
‘there’ is Maddies DNA in the back of the car.
October 5th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
783. Truce then.
October 5th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
Krissie I don’t base the fact they are guilty on their emotion - I don’t see them plastered on tv here (don’t watch tv much either) so I can’t comment.
I think they are guilty because they have had a corpse in their apartment, Kate’s clothes, CuddleCat and in the back of their car; their is Maddies DNA in the car and blood spatter in the apartment.
And I prefer Dingo - it’s a ‘d’ thing. lol
October 5th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
774 That’s as maybe. But what I wannaknow is - what’s he like on a pair of skates?
October 5th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
781. Mine is in theory 86% but who knows what is truly in his heart. He was mated with an Akita on the father’s side and a Malamute on the mothers. He’s white and when I take him out, which is often, people say “Cool Wolf” ………he acts like a dog for the most part but has his own way about things. He is never ever punished. I just say shame on you and turn my back, that seems to work okay. He is a big lovie……..
October 5th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
773 I am not on your back nor do I wish to be. I am merely debating an issue based on facts stated in a documentary. No I don’t own a dog, nor have I ever owned one. My uncle was the dog man in the family but we live different ends of the country.
I will bring a smile to your face now by bowing to your superior knowledge.

I just found this
Raw Bones versus Cooked Bones
Wild carnivores have always consumed the raw bones of their prey. Their teeth are adapted for this function, and their short, acidic digestive tract quickly dissolves and digests these bones, which are packed with essential nutrients. Our domesticated companions have teeth and digestive systems that are nearly identical to those of their wild counterparts. While it is possible for dogs or humans, to choke on whatever they are eating or drinking, consuming a fresh, raw diet greatly reduces the risk of choking in dogs or cats. Cooking bones makes them brittle and prone to splintering, as well as more difficult to digest.
Dr. Billinghurst, an Australian vet, recommends raw bones as the foundation of a balanced diet. His book “Give Your Dog a Bone” describes the rapidly deteriorating health of Australian dogs and cats after the nation adopted commercial pet foods in mid-1960s. The canine mouth has sharp pointed teeth and strong jaws designed to tear flesh and crush bones. The stomach acid of the canine has strong acids to digest bones and flesh. Raw bones have been a part of canines’ diets for as long as they have been tracking, attacking, and killing their prey.

Is there any known relationship between breed of dog and shit talking ability of owner? Room for study here i think……….
October 5th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
Oh I know those wolf percentages get incredibly confusing!!!
October 5th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
Oh puhleeeze. Kate admits to the kind of grief that makes her want to die (which I would certainly have, in her shoes!!) and you guys start talking murder society. These poor people just can’t win! The same people who slam them (and imply they killed their own daughter) because they don’t show enough emotion start putting them on murder/suicide watch when they DO express emotion! You’re a bunch of evil, foul-tempered jackals. Really.
October 5th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
Mike you have been a blast today. I have to make sure I swallow before reading your posts. I don’t want to ruin my keyboard!
October 5th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
775. Ohhh cool dogs. Mine are pretty nice too. Especially my wolf, but really it is a wolf hybrid before mr. D. calls me on that one and starts quoting statistics about wolf hybrids and then there will be more quotes on percentages of wolf in the hybrid and that I don’t know squat….gag a maggot.

It is also said that female dogs perform better in zero gravity conditions than males but this is not totally true as it varies slightly according to breed and nostril diameter.
October 5th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
In fact why don’t you mail me one of your teeth and I will feed it to my dog and if he poops it out I’ll mail it back to ya C.O.D.
October 5th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
JerriLyn - I feed bones to my dogs 100lb pyr and a basenji. Can’t tell any difference in poo but the more raw meat and bones they get in their diet the better their coats look.

And a monkey can handle a motor cycle better than a gazelle , but not on ice.
October 5th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
I speak from first hand experience. You on the other hand must be married to words and their exact meaning in order to tell me I am writing rubbish. I sat in the vet with my dog that was ill with too much bone. I heard what my vet said about the bone. I feed raw bones to my dogs and look at what comes out. Nothing is in their original form. If you can find a tooth in their poop then call me a liar otherwise, get off my back.

That Daily Mail article has been updated yet again! here’s the first bit.
“Police attack Portuguese ‘dirty tricks’ over Madeleine
by STEPHEN WRIGHT and VANESSA ALLEN - More by this author »Last updated at 21:49pm on 5th October 2007
Comments
British police entered the war of words over Madeleine McCann to deny Portuguese detectives’ claims that she was killed in her family’s holiday apartment.
The Leicestershire force said it did not back the theory put forward by Portuguese detectives that the four-year-old died in the care of her parents, Gerry and Kate, which was leaked to a Portuguese newspaper this week.
The daily Correio da Manha quoted unnamed sources as saying British officers believed the missing fouryearold’s corpse was hidden in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.
But the force refuted the claim, saying: “Leicestershire Constabulary have been careful not to offer an opinion as to what has happened to Madeleine as it is not party to all the evidence as it is not our investigation.”
