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”
THE INDEPENDENT, THE GUARDIAN and THE TIMES: No Madeleine news today

Dee, that picture surfaced a couple weeks ago with a story they did on Life of the McCanns: How they Met, Why they Wed, How gerry Brought Her Flowers, Etc.

Jane Tanner was originally in Twisted Sister before joining the Spin Doctors!

I think a few of them are involved but I will never be allowed back if I say exactly what I think they were involved in.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Wait a minute!! You mean GOOGLE is in on the conspiracy?? Do you suppose Google is getting paid by Team McCann, from the FUND?? So it was Jane Tanner, in the apartment, with the Googlers?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Bulldump,
He should also be given a medal. I certainly couldn’t!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Was Jane Tanner formerly the lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Why is there a wedding picture of Gerry and Kate on the Times website????
October 9th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
bulldump- look at her BOOBS, you doofus, he’s with her because he likes them big.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
i think it was a collaboration. with whom i shan’t say. but his name rhymes with lie’in and deny’in. (joking of course.)
October 9th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Amused Bystander…. I’ve been in absolute awe for weeks watching the people on this forum, it’s absolutely incredible and hilarious. I am American and I’m wondering whether this particular set of personality traits is a British thing- Americans just don’t go about it in this way. But, then again, the press is a different creature over there.
M.E. so you think Jane Tanner did it? That photo of her in circulation certainly is scaaaaarrry looking. Just from the looks of her, I’d say, you’re absolutely right, JANE did it!!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
i have wondered for some time what a relatively young doctor, o’brian was doing with a munt like jane tanner, she is truely hideous. I think that may have been what fuelled the swinging story, since he would need to have a slack partner in order to participate. if this is a relationship of convenience, maybe his desires really do lie elsewhere.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Bulldump,
Dont start any more theories! My head is spinning.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
bulldump
Hmm at last. left field thinking that I thought from early on.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
The picture of Jane Tanner surely could have been replaced by Team McCann with one that is little more flattering. Are they trying to set her up?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
thea
Something in the face disturbs me….
She will be pleased
October 9th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
i don’t know why, but this times story from 2 hours ago seems to put a bit of a paedophile slant involving at least some of the tapas 9.
is this why Paulo Rebelo with this kind of experience replaced ameral?

you don’t find tanner’s ‘cell block h’ look becoming?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
Harry
You’ve solved it eh?
So have I. Not pleasant is it?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
Found a link to a petition dated 12 June on 10 Downing street web site . Petitioning to Leicestershire Social Services to investigate Mcs children being left in an unlocked room, unattended. Petition thrown out due to language which is offensive, inpemperate or provocative.
21 July CPS lawyers held informal discussions to consider whether any offence may have been committed under the Child and Young persons act 1933.
Has the country and lifestyle not changed enough to update the act, 1933 was a long time ago. Section 5 of the act is exempt to qualified medical practitioners. Section 7 never leave under sevens in a room with an open fire and no fireguard they will get you.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Forget O’Brien. Something looks strange about Jane Tanner. Will say no more……
October 9th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Old Harry may have solved it and, in any event, he is relying on his right to silence - no adverse inferences are to be drawn what what.
Getting rather worried now
October 9th, 2007 at 4:17 pm
tragic. and no one is monitoring pete doherty’s calorie intake?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
who took it seriously? i certainly didn’t and still don’t. if there are headless chickens running around they’re all in leicester or thereabouts. oh and there’s a faceless eggheaded man wearing smart italian leather shoes in prada da luz. i believe he’s a close relative.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
This is keeping me in suspenders!
It must be time now to call all of the T-9 in for charging with various charges ranging from perverting the course of justice, child neglect and the fate of Madeleine.
How many other missing children have suffered by the McCanns media campaign taking up so many resourses. Please, please, please Clarence - do the honourable thing and advise your clients to come completely clean, and just for once, give a true account of what has happened.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
This is all tooooo funny!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=486646&in_page_id=1811 be careful they are watching us,
October 9th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
It is very clear to me that O’Brien is emerging as the primary suspect. DIdn’t someone see news yesterday that a new British male suspect might be named???
All along I’ve thought: The Mccanns didn’t do it, but they know who did. I bet this is it.
But Harry,dear, please correct me if I”m wrong. You seem to have solved the case.

Too true! The funniest thing of all is that everyone on this site seems to be mindlessly chasing evry couple of hours after the latest media wack theory like headless chickens. Taking it all so deadly seriously. And seeming to think that they are the delphic oracle to boot… It gets dangerously addictive following this absurd blog farce…
October 9th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
clarence is ben affleck. at least that’s what pj have leaked.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
I mean, actually, if the news today is accurate (which I HIGHLY doubt , I mean, so far it seems 90 percent of what is printed in both British and Portugese press is pure bunk), it seems O’Brien would be our main suspect.
