Madeleine McCann: DNA Jigsaw, Torture And The Twilight Zone
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE DNA PUTS PARENTS IN FRAME. British experts insist their tests are valid”
Page 7: “DNA tests ‘fill in more pictures of jigsaw’” – A source close to the investigation provides the headline quote. But what has been found is unsaid, and how it involves Kate and Gerry McCann
“New police chief is accused of torture” – Chief inspector Tavares Almeida is to face charges of “beating up a robbery suspect in custody”. The Express says this is a “torture scandal”. The alleged victim – who was accused of being part of a gang that sexually abused children and coerced them into violent muggings - was acquitted
Mr Almeida was dubbed “Kate’s Tormenter”, possibly by the Express today
DAILY MAIL page 8: “New DNA tests ‘put the McCanns back under suspicion’”
The McCanns, both “doctors” are said to be “extremely distressed by the claims”
DAILY MIRROR page 7: “COPS GAVE UP SEARCH THREE MONTHS AGO”
“Investigation in tatters as second detective accused of violence”
THE SUN front page: “McCANNS’ AGONY – MADDIE: NEW DNA LINK TO KATE”
British forensic scientists “are said to believe tests on fresh clues support earlier findings that led to the McCanns being declared suspects”
Page 4: “McCANNS ‘LIVING IN A TWILIGHT WORLD’”
Clarence Michelle says: “We had reports that DNA had proved ‘inconclusive’ and even it had put the McCanns in the clear.”
Reports from whom is not reported
“Now there are reports that the DNA is making them look suspect. There are wholly innocent explanations for any material police may or may not have found. This just goes to show what a twilight zone we are operating in”
The Twilight Zone – wasn’t that the name of the TV show with the sting in the tail?
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: NW DNA DAMNS PARENTS. Brit police find shock evidence”
But they have not been arrested. The McCanns are just suspects. How is this damning?
Pages 8 and 9: “MADDIE: SHOCK NEW DNA CLUE TO PARENTS – Boffins say cops on the right trail”
“Torture rap cop” – Tavares Almeida is 48
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 9: “Portuguese police ‘right to focus on McCanns’”
A British source says “Everything that has emerged indicates that the investigation is focusing where it should”
A British detective says the case is being “done back to front” – the parents should have been looked at first. The mantra is: “Clear the ground from under your feet”

Right! Everyone Bookmark that Times article!!!! (-:
If they were all in one room ( I know, but got to run with the madness…) then maybe that explains the one baby listening device. It also leaves the other rooms free….
Head bangs against wall.

Gerry Blog day 151
It is simply untrue that the twins think that Madeleine has gone on a ‘little trip’. They clearly miss their big sister and have asked on numerous occasions where is Madeleine?’. Kate I and have told them that we don’t know where she is but lots of people are looking for her and we hope that we will find her.
So where are you the father looking? Under the sofa?
Where is the mother looking? Under the bed?
Im sure she wasnt there the last time you looked so why not try and look where she might be or are you both going to leave that like everything else you do, to other people.
Other people dealt with answering the police questions for you by advising you not to answer.
Other people gave you money to find your daughter and you squander it unforgivably after people gave it in good faith.
Other people care about your daughters welfare and whereabouts,
What about you?

G’day folks.
On a business trip so no time to do more that read up on the latest.
Funny that there’s virtually zero pro-McCann posts today….
I would imagine the the “war room” is in meltdown.
Have fun!

krissie, that report was removed as hastily as it was published. just as i predicted.

Monitored? By who and how do you know?
October 9th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
This is getting really funny. I’m starting to think this is all an elaborate hoax not only from the McCanns but also the PJ and the Brit police. This is just too silly– this morning’s news is just too bizarre to fathom. So there were seven kids in the apartment? And the new timeline seems to have nothing to do with the old timeline. And their new study shows the McCanns version of events isn’t likely since according to T-9 statements there was one member of the party coming and going every 5 minutes.. … but didn’t witnesses in the bar say no one left the table AT ALL ?
It’s all like some kind of theatrical farce. Curiouser and curiouser. I still think Madeleine is going to turn up alive. Up out of the rabbit hole she’ll come.

All theories are on the table, some far worse than yours
October 9th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Obviously everything I have said is idle theorising - I know nothing and I am not asserting that I do. Please do not take any of the above nonsense being true.
It is speculation in poor taste, nothing more

October 9th, 2007 at 3:39 pm

I have squared the circle and got my clients…… err I mean to say, the Doctors McCann off every hook?
Cut throat defence what what. Had to be done.

m.e. i actually hold out hopes that this is true. maybe selfish to hope such a thing because to imagine her ordeal is going into a realm no one healthy and normal wants to venture forth. i don’t actually think it strange for the parents of a missing child to believe their child is alive. what i do find inexplicably strange is that not only don’t the mccanns go out and follow leads or do some old school sleuthing on their own but that you never hear them express concern for what madeleine is experiencing, feeling, dealing with. it is all about their own preservation and cheesy attempts at damage control. their language is not typical of any missing parents i have ever watched or listened to before.

Good parenting involves protecting a child from danger, including, any adverse consequences that may arise by reason of a child’s own behavour.
Hence if, hypothetically, a child were to acidentially top another child, a good parent would cover it up in order to protect the child (the topper that is, too late for the toppee what what).
Therefore, what may have happened, hypothetically, was all actuated by good parenting what what.
October 9th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
I remember reading the grandmother said each family was responsible for their own children.
October 9th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
i was doing some research on an online monitoring group called ‘envisional tech limited’ and while i was searching through tedious patent info i found a patent by a man named gerry mccann. the patent, ironically enough, is for a door lock or clamp of some sort. lol!
October 9th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
thea
So Kate wants to go into child welfare and “opposing paedophiles”. This surely indicates that she believes her daughter was abducted by a paedophile which makes the McCanns insistence that their child is still alive a little odd wouldnt you say?
October 9th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
I think you are the old bill 198 u appear to be one step ahead all the time
October 9th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
thank you for reminding me carmen. forgive me please????
October 9th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
i know the answer. trick question. the age of the oldest child in the group is 39 right? gerry is 39 now but was 38 on may 3rd?
